bennet_7Thor 2: Electrical Storm Boogaloo will be directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins!
The announcement also says that Natalie Portman and Hiddles will both be back, so YAY for that too.

Date: 2011-10-13 11:45 pm (UTC)I SERIOUSLY THINK NO MOVIE HAS DONE THIS. i mean, most popular movies are straight-up generic Hero's Journey, which doesn't leave a hell of a lot of room for villain-redemption. maybe... in Sky High the mean kid turns out to be a nice dude towards the end?? and in veronica mars logan kind of gets nicer?? NO, I DON'T THINK SUCH A FILM ACTUALLY EXISTS.
do you HAVE to read henry james? i mean i haven't read anything by him so i'm not qualified to comment really, but MAYBE YOU SHOULD BREAK FREE FROM THIS ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP BEFORE YOU GET A HAIR-BEZOAR?

DUDE. WE HAVE INVENTED A NEW THING. WE SHOULD PUT ON OUR FINEST SCREENWRITING HATS AND GET TO WORK. FIRST QUESTION: WHAT SHOULD THE CHARACTERS WEAR?
I HAVE to read Henry James for class. I was previously reading his American travelogues which were pretty awful. Typical sentence:
It is more than a comfort to him, truly, in all the conditions, this accepted vision of the too-defiant scale of numerosity and quantity--the effect of which is so to multiply the possibilities, so to open, by the million, contingent doors and windows: he rests in it at last as an absolute luxury, converting it even into a substitute, into the constant substitute, for many luxuries that are absent.
Now I'm reading his love letter to London which isn't so bad. The Turn of the Screw is quite good. But In the Cage made me want to travel back in time and punch him in the face.
I've tied my hair up now. It should be ok.
