THOR

Just came back from the talkies. Thor is just brilliant. I think they got exactly the right guys for the role. Anthony Hopkins looks like Odin and Chris Hemsworth has got to be Thor himself. The visuals are great and I was quite happy that they refrained from the gimmick of throwing various things "in your face" just to remind you that you are watching a 3D flick.

The costumes were brilliantly created and Loki actually looks cool as compared to the comic. The Destroyer was worth beholding and I realised how far CG has actually come. It just looked so damn real.

The story left something to be desired but this is a movie worth going to the theater for and in 3D.

Sue me silly

So, turns out the game of the week was "sue me silly". Apple tried to sue Samsung. Then these two tried to sue Apple. And considering Google is Apple's leading competitor, they went ahead and got a lawsuit slapped on them by another couple of "their" users. Just to close the loop, Samsung decided to counter-sue Apple.

Nice. I often wonder whether we are all just living in a huge sitcom.
