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.

Richard Grieco. Man, I haven't heard that name in forever.

These "mockbusters" have been out for a few years now. I don't know what's more ridiculous, that the studio responsible gets away with making these C-grade films, or that some consumers actually "get confused" and think these are the blockbuster movies. I mean, come on, it doesn't take much to spot these.

I think I saw Thor punch time.

I heard that in this movie, he loses Moljnir.

Guess this makes him a Thor loser...

Nothing good comes from Asylum.

I remember seeing a fan vid someone took of Kevin Nash at Logan International Airport a couple of days before Royal Rumble (he was there for the surprise entrance at RR). He was asked why he had dyed his hair black, he said it was for a movie role. I could have sworn it was this film. Always kayfabe the fans, even the ones smarter than you, I guess.

Every time I see little kids dressed in superhero costumes, it makes me feel all warm and squishy inside...

Ooooh, this one sounds like it should be direct to Beta.

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.
