So, the Rapture is supposed to start today. Not seeing any signs of it yet, but there was a beautiful moon in the evening fog.
Instead, I just got back from seeing Thor. I figured, whether the Rapture happened or not, I wouldn't be seeing Heaven tonight. Might as well see Asgard. It was a surprisingly good movie. Nothing too deep, but good amounts of fun, majesty, and action. Was cool to have an unexpected cameo by another Avenger, too.
Before the movie, I saw a trailer for The Three Musketeers 3D. Have you heard of this? Go check it out for yourself. It's nominally about the three musketeers, but it has ninjas, a steampunk flying galleon, and lots of slow-mo 3D martial arts stunts. I burst out laughing in the theater when I saw it. It's like a parody of itself. But they're actually doing it, and it looks like they're doing it (more or less) seriously. I honestly can't tell if this is going to be the dumbest, flashiest, most extravagant, superficial excuse for a movie ever or if it really is so crazy it'll actually work. Inane pandering condescension or unapologetic awesomeness?
Finally... there's some rain on the radar, but still no sign of Rapture. (Well, except for this weird banner LJ put up in the masthead...) It may be a tad premature, but I want to dedicate Nickleback's Hero to y'all. "Now that the world isn't ending, it's love that I'm sending to you..."
