Quote of the Night, I Feel So Relieved About Thor: Ragnarok Right Now edition.

From NPR(!):

It’s funnier and prettier than most of the other Marvel movies, having figured out that adopting the visual palette of Frank Frazetta’s glossy swords n’ monsters n’ muscles fantasy paintings — rather than trying to cross that uncanny valley into photorealism — is a good way to make the wall-to-wall CGI less fatiguing. Half the frames in this film would look right at home airbrushed on the side of a 1978 Ford Econoline “shaggin’ wagon” van, which would almost certainly be blasting Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” a vintage headbanger that the Thor 3 soundtrack Ragna-rocks twice. (I am getting choked up thinking about all the 10-year-olds who will see this thing and shortly thereafter download their very first Led Zep.)

I remember my first Led Zep cassette. I’d like to go back to that moment, too.  It’s a magical place.

    Yeah, I see what you did there.

  2. I still have a fond memory of when my daughter in junior high ( 25 years ago???) discovered Led Zeppelin and was astonished that I knew the words to the songs.
