Good movie. Not great, but good.
Pretty much. Though, it was worth it for the scenery alone.

Anything from there is a plus.
Shanks paid me to leave you atop a mountain and then send a butterfly up to mock you. You’ll have to learn how to summon a giant eagle to get down.
Colorado is interesting.
Mars One is an initiative to migrate small groups of people to Mars, using currently available technologies. The current schedule is to land the first group of four on Mars in 2023, with an additional crew landing every two years.
The design team has been working on the planning in 2011 and has recently sought publicity for their plans in order to secure funds. The power of this mission concept is that it uses technologies which are available today or in the near future, such as the falcon heavy and life support that is currently in use in the ISS.
With ambassadors as Prof. dr. Gerard ‘t Hooft (nobel prize winner), Mary Roach (writer) and Prof. dr. ir. Ambrosius (chairman of Delft Technical University’s Astrodynamics and Space Missions faculty) the group aims to be both visionary and feasible.
I wish them the best of luck. I hope to hear more from them soon. Go check out their website: http://www.mars-one.com/
This honestly makes me happier than anything that has happened in my lifetime.
Science!
I just read this very interesting article:
Why Loki Won in the Avengers.
Warning: spoilers. Make sure you’ve seen the movie first before you read this.
If this is Whedon’s intention, then I have no words. This would be amazing.
If I can geek for a second, there really are so many things that click with this theory. Nothing explicitly points to it, I suppose, but the mistakes that Loki makes despite being the “God” of Mischief and Lies are actually kind of ridiculous in the movie. He gets outsmarted by Black Widow, tries to talk smack to the Hulk, gets casually out-one-liner’d by Tony Stark, and allows his scientist, under mind-control, incorporate a safety mechanism into a machine that was probably never supposed to close.
These could just be blatant mistakes on his part, but the way that his whole plan crumbled so perfectly, the smile on Thanos’ face in that final shot, and the way he just casually headed back to Asgard with Thor without so much as struggling with his restraints, they are all a bit fishy.
Joss Whedon would be just the man to pull this one off.
