Random data for Sunday the 8th

 it's hot and busy in the Park thanks to the gazillion Mothers that apparently inhabit the great Austin area..I realize that doesn't effect the temperature but I feel like blaming somebody :)

 Went to see Echo and the Bunnymen last night , having never seen them before I was suitably impressed not only by their workman like approach and insistence on quality but also by the fact that Ian Mculloch's regular speaking voice is practicaly incomprehensible due to a wicked smoking habit and an extreme Liverpool accent..and yet he can sing beautifully..

Thor was a good film ,not great but fun. Natalie Portman still looks like a kid, amazing. I liked Hiddleston's Loki a lot and Hemsworth did a decent job as the titular character..had all the ladies swooning I'm sure. Being a bit of a mythology nerd I was slightly disappointed by some minor things until I remembered that this was based on the Marvel comics take on Asgard. Lastly.. there is no reason at all to see this in 3D unless you dig Buddy Holly so much you'd take any chance to emulate his style.
