Welcome to the General Discussion area where just about anything goes! This area is designed to discuss all matters and does not necessarily have to be Transformers related. Please keep topics relevant.

Go to Sweden, I'm sure you'll find several large blond men as soon as you exit the airport.


I assure you that when and if I ever travel to Sweden, I hope to never be greeted by several large blonde men as soon as I leave the airport. Buxom, blonde women, on the other hand, would be just fine.

Brendan Fraser has a bit too much of a, umm, 'happy naive dude' look to him, I think. Brad Pitt I could possibly see as Captain America, especially something like the grizzled veteran hard@$$ from Ultimates.

Thor's not impossible, just hard. You'd have to find a big dude who can actually act reasonably well. Someone mentioned that Marvel's production studios had floated the idea of using the wrestler Triple H as Thor, but the current director on the Thor movie shot that down. I can agree with that: while he'd reasonably look the part, the dude just plain can't act. For Thor, I think they're going to have to find a second tier, not so well known actor who also happens to look reasonably like Thor.

Personally, I just hope they find a way to use Vladimir Kulich ( Buliwyf from the 13th Warrior ) in some way, shape or form. Perhaps a bit too old for Thor, but man he'd make a great Odin!

Kick ass! I love the part where he's being chased by the jets. What is that song? I know I've heard it before. It's kind of an old song. I think it's called Ironman, but I can't remember the artist.
