R’lyeh removed from Google Maps; some geek alternatives

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

It was once possible to find R’lyth, the home and resting place of Cthulhu, on Google Maps and on Google Earth. The video at the end of this post acts as evidence. Today it’s not possible to find R’lyeh on either of those two properties. Aww, shucks, Google. I hope you had good reason for […]

Latest Green Lantern trailer explains mythology

May 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather like the latest Green Lantern trailer. It’s not because I need another trailer to convince me that I want to go see the movie – that’s no longer needed. I like it because it introduces some of the world mythology for people who need to be reminded or discover it for the first […]

Sif vs The Destroyer teaser bundled with Jamie Alexander interview

April 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video contains a short clip of Sif battling The Destroyer – actually, she’s not alone. I suspect this is the scene where the Asgardians are figuring out The Destroyer is going to be a pain in the neck. The rest of the clip – still worth watching – is an interview with American TV […]

Marvel’s Little Thor ad spoofs Volkswagen’s “The Force”

April 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel will have a hit with this advert for Thor. It spoofs the famous Volkswagen “The Force” ad that ran for the Super Bowl and became a huge internet hit. It’s also funny in its own right. If you’ve not seen the original; you’ll still enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPNjWWQqWCA What do you think?

Thor Super Bowl trailer

February 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Super Bowl was a good one for movie trailers. It always is. One of the movies that featured was Thor. I have mixed feelings about this movie. I want to be good but for some reason it’s generating a nagging concern that I can’t seem to shrug off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTTGL-OxzGY What do you think? Compare […]

Thor trailer

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just in case you missed it this weekend – we’ve now got our eyes on the juicy juicy Thor trailer. As with so many hero movies we’re picking a big story for Thor. At least, though, this is one that fits very well with the mythos. That’s right; Thor without his hammer. So, what do […]

Isaiah Mustafa as Luke Cage in Hero Spice spoof

October 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel call this “The Hero Your Hero Could Smell Like”. I’m sure other people will call it “How Long Can The Old Spice Spoofs Continue For”. I quite like the title “Hero Spice”. Luke Cage (aka Isaiah Mustafa) takes a quick tour of the Avengers Tower. Security is pretty rubbish because he runs intoo M.O.D.O.K., […]

This is what Thor looks like

April 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Paramount have made available an official hot of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the God of Thunder. We noticed this over at Bleeding Cool where Alasdair Stuart points out how un-Chris Hemsworthy actor Chris Hemsworthy looks. Bingo. Also bingo – double bingo – is Alsadair’s comment that Hemsworth Thor looks regal, superhuman and yet fragile and […]
