   Yes.  THOR started shooting yesterday, after making headlines for firing    
   Charlize Theron's boyfriend the day before.  THOR is my favorite Marvel    
   comics character.  The movie has multicultural and ethnic Norse Gods;    
   Thor is Australian, Heimdall is Black, Hogun is Japanese, and they come    
   from all different countries with all different accents.   
      
   Volstagg?  His entire schtick is that he's the fattest man in the    
   universe, and they've cast a skinny guy as him.

   The only way the casting would work is if they were mocrapping these    
   actors and replacing them with CGI, and then dubbing all their voices as    
   well.   
      
   It's being written by the hacks that wrote the final season of    
   ANDROMEDA, widely considered the worst season of any TV show ever made.
