What is the big draw for you about the name Thor?--I agree with you that it is a great name, especially based on my one personal friend with that name--a wonderful person. Whitaker's accent was weird. My favorite film of his remains The Crying Game. So all this reminds me of the film I was trying to remember the name of when we last met: Angels of the Universe<BR/>http://fooface.blogspot.com/2006/06/angels-of-universe-by-einar-mar.html<BR/>Both the video and print versions of which are owned by Univ. of Iowa, not Iowa State as I had thought. Alas, when I think of the rules you could bend for me if it were otherwise...;-)Darien Fisher-Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886321196588554175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064999.post-48858970338397083732007-07-02T07:46:00.000-04:002007-07-02T07:46:00.000-04:00"Little Trip to Heaven" automatically gets one Puf..."Little Trip to Heaven" automatically gets one Puffin for having a child named Thor in it.

IMHO Myrín is a great crime drama, very tightly plotted, wonderful acting, and it certainly captures a vivid sense of neighborhoods in Reykjavík and the surrounding areas. I haven't heard a peep about it being distributed in the US- it wasn't in our international film festival this spring. I had a "week-end with Kormákur" when I was in Reykjaík last October- seeing his stage production of Petur Gautur, Myrín and was almost run over by the man himself (he was trying to park at National Theatre and didn't see me at first...) I missed Little Trip...Professor Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802171986501104683noreply@blogger.com
