Samsung Galaxy 4 is Watching You.

Exactly Like the Samsung Galaxy 4 



Below is a very clever advertisement for a Swiss Mobile phone company called Swisscom, which uses the Samsung Galaxy 4's ability to tell if you are looking at the phone to hold a staring contest  between phone and man.

Anyone who can look at the phone for 60 minutes wins a Galaxy 4, but the folks at Swisscom brought in some increasingly ridiculous distractions as it gets closer to 60 minutes

Thor's 96: Han Seoul-Oh


We talk about a bunch of stuff in this episode, including the cars in fast and the furious. I forgot what else we talk about.

But that is besides the point, the point is there is a character in the Fast and the furious movies called "Han Seoul-Oh" how fucking great of a name is that.

Thor 97: Candy69@aol.com


We talk about Arizona, John McCain in Syria, Bill O'rielly, JcPenny's, Ellen Degeneres, and a bunch more.

This episode ends with the Theme song to the 1971 film Shaft because there was a marathon of the Shaft films on Turner Classic Movies and I watched them while editing episodes 94 through 97. 
Those are some awesome fucking movies.

Thor 93: Star Trek into Darkness II: The Wrath of Kahn


We discuss whether a big budgets of the two new star trek movies prevents the films from being as clever and the Gene Roddenberry created television series, the difference between marketing a movie to appeal to all ages and actually scripting it to appeal to the lowest common denominator . Alice Eve's underwear scene, the controversy surrounding it, JJ Abrams' marketing strategy. Cloverfield, Super 8, Lost, Damon Lindelof, good screen writing.

And the dedication of the film to "post 9/11 veterans" and the very particular phrasing of that dedication.

(some of this stuff might actually be in episode 92 instead of 93, I can't remember.

This week's photo is James Doohan, Scotty from the original Star Trek in uniform during his service in World War 2. Doohan was part of the invasion of Normandy at Juno Beach. (I don't know who the woman in the photo is with him, presumedly his mother or grandmother)






Podcast Episode 91

Thor's 91: The Great Gatsby


Thor, Njord, Vidar, Bjork, new god Officer Tiger, and Hiemdale (whose microphone craps out almost immediate) talk the new film The Great Gatsby.

Jay-Z, Baz Luhrmann, Leonardo Dicaprio, Robert Redford, Nick Caraway, Tobe Maguire, Soundtrack, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, isla Fisher, Joel Edgerton looks like old timey conan o'brien.

Also when I was discussion this movie I forgot to mention elizabeth debicki did a great job as Jordan Baker. I wish they hadn't cut out so much of her character from the book. She would have done a great job with that conversation with nick carraway about how a bad driver doesn't get into trouble until the meet another bad driver.
