ALMIGHTY THOR Trailer, And Some Fun From The Real One

No, not the Marvel blockbuster -- the SyFy coattail-rider (I have not, until today, seen the term "mockbuster", but, oh yeah) starring Very Physical Thespian Kevin Nash as Odin, apparently. And Patricia Velasquez's collarbones. And Richard Grieco will be able to save you money on ca- oh, wait, no, he's playing Loki. And somebody named Cody Deal as The God Of Thunder And Rock And Ro-o-o-o-oll.

Are you ready for some RiffTrax?

Meantime, you might remember the Little Darth Vader Volkswagen commercial. Well, there's a slight parody of it.

Reminds me when Marvel published their own parody magazine, Not Brand Ecch! Their cartoony parody of the Thunder God was called "Mighty Sore" and he lisped all over the place. (Well, Marvel only got the humor business done right during a short period, when the late, great Steve Gerber wrote for them.)

Seriously, at least the SyFyLis channel is doing something besides the CGI Bug Monster of the Week for their movies. If they play this right they might achieve the same kind of fame that Roger Corman and American-International did with their cheapjack drive-in movies. They could turn out Cap'n 'Murkah in a week and a half, to steal a march on the new theatrical movie, and then tap off two popular genre stories in one title, by calling their team-up movie The Aventuresome Brothers.

I've been so tempted to quote the Not Brand Ecch! this whole thread. "Thou hast made a blunder! I am not Mighty Sore!" "You're not!?" "Nah, I'm just kinda angry. He's Mighty Sore...."
