"Thor" Thunder in theaters next week

"Thor" Thunder in theaters next week, adding another chapter to the big screen Universe Marvel Studios "and attract the audience that much closer to the superhero in next year's team before extravaganza," The Avengers. "As part of this summer's movie Preview week, MTV News spoke with "Thor," directed by Kenneth Branagh taking on a hammer-wielding hero of Marvel and complex task of integrating the god of thunder in the same world inhabited by Iron Man, Hulk, and - within a few months - "The First Avenger" himself, Captain America.
MTV News: So let's get back to the dawn of this project. Everyone was surprised - and pleasantly so - if your name was first announced as "Thor" director. Why did you take the job? Why did this project appeal to you?
Kenneth Branagh: I think it was partly that I wanted to surprise me. I was happy to surprise some other people. Well, to test his own sense of what you think you might be able to make and the prejudices of others. I thought it was a total breath of fresh air and the freshness of the whole adventure was that I would enjoy very much. But you can not do it for just these reasons. I was drawn to the character and history, and understanding that this happens on an epic scale. Size, and a great opportunity to tell - and I hope that popular - movies on a large scale was just a very, very interesting possibilities.
MTV News: Much like Iron Man was in 2008, Thor is not all that well known before its debut on the big screen. One would think that this, along with his magical, god-like powers and origin story, makes the character even more difficult to sell for a core audience movie. How do you approach that challenge?
Branagh: There's no doubt that everyone in the Marvel felt that way, and I would agree with them. Although nearly 50 years of comic book Thor says that there is a real fan of the character out there, and it interacts with other members of the Avengers in the comics over and over again. But there are many problems with outlining the history of Torah origin and allowing it to interact with the rest of the universe of Marvel, which I, as a spectator movie, I was very intrigued and enjoy. A happy coincidence that I was sure that most of the film should take part in the world. For me, being a part of history on Earth was absolutely necessary, regardless of whether it was fit into any other kind of movie, so as to maximize the number of things - mostly humor. In two or three months before we talked about how we want to do the same type of image, which was one of the key conversations, and thank God, we agreed.
MTV News: When we spoke with "Captain America" ​​writers, they noted that the central plot was in the first place, and then there was a moment when they came back for the story and added links to most of the Marvel Universe movie, as appropriate. It was the same for the "Torah"? How do you manage to connect the "Thor" with other movies Marvel?
Branagh: Some of that was planned in advance, but to be honest, I never had to think about it too much myself, because my job and my value to the project was to keep the front of Tor history, and in the center. Others simply organically begin to fall together. Sometimes it would work - in particular, the names and stuff - where you could do a little mixing in different locations that overlap. ... But I must say that at any point I feel that I had to try and guess where I was entered in some Great Wall Marvel figure all of this. They definitely knew, and that every film needs to work on its own right - and not assume anything - and once that sense of security and tough, we can have fun stuff run through, and hopefully this will add some value

No one is an example of the intersection of gender and religion in general music is better than Madonna. 12. Spiral Rhythm - Freedom
This is such a powerful anthem. I love it. 11. Soundtrack of The Wicker Man - Gently Johnny
It should always be performed with a monologue of Lord Summerisle in the middle of it. 10. Divinyls - I Touch Myself
Seriously, no other song reflects a disrespectful insinuations season Beltane. 9. Soundtrack of The Wicker Man - Fire Leap
This scene from the film is one of my favorite, where the Lord Summerisle explains the mythic worldview Sgt. Howie. 8. Damh Bard worship trees
It is not only a great song, it's fun to see Damh rock like this. 7. Emerald Rose - Redhead Mary
I swore I would not use Merry May Folk, which is largely a perfect song to all the heathen, so here's another ER a song that captures the season. 6. The Wicker Man soundtrack - Summerisle songs
They love their divinity lessons. 5. Gaia spouse - Beltane Fires
How can you not want to dance to it? 4. Emerald Rose - Freya, Shakti
It was the first song I fell in love ER, and she still talks about the sacred to me. 3. Damh Bard - green and gray
This is one of those songs I could put on repeat for an hour. 2. Green Crown - Witches Reel
The oldest known song associated with witchcraft, this song has been preserved in the records of the Scottish witch trial. I love the green crown and hope they will reissue their music anytime soon. 1. Loreena McKennit - Actor's Dance (Ever After Remix)
I think, not really adore this song may be the reason to get a pagan cards revoked.

Miami Dolphins' intro for Pouncey

For Daniel Thomas, the celebration began as soon as he looked at his cell phone and saw the flash 305 on his phone.
Moments before he was officially selected Miami Dolphins with a 62-second choices go on Friday, he noticed in the south Florida area code and knew what would happen. Thomas, a former Kansas State running back of Hilliard, Fla., is headed back to his home state to play professionally.
"I was so excited and a bit overwhelmed, to be honest," Thomas said Friday night the phone. "Miami is perfect for me." After talking with my people, I feel that I will know the system very well and there is a chance to play next year. And stay close to home and family, well, I could not be happier about it ".
Dolphins made a trade with Washington to accept Thomas - 30-th player chosen in the second round and 62 th overall. He took his appeal of dolphins while watching the draft in New York with his agent and family.
They began to celebrate immediately.
"It was crazy to be with them," Thomas said. "They were shouting and popping of champagne. This is a great moment in my life. It feels like only yesterday I was at Yankee Stadium, playing in bowl games. Now I'm in the NFL. It's amazing to think about."
Thomas ran for 2,850 yards over two seasons with the wild cats, and twice led the Big 12 in rushing. Being selected in 2011 draft, he distributed a row K-State successive years, at least one player has developed up to 18 years.
Heading into his senior season, some predicted Thomas, as chosen in the first round. Concerns about his durability, and small hamstring injury that kept him out of the senior ball, reportedly caused his draft stock fall.

'Men' Star Angus T Jones Loses Weight

In connection with the drama surrounding Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men have been on hiatus since January 2011, but this does not mean that the cast of the hit CBS comedy has been sitting idly waiting for work. Angus T Jones, 17, who plays Jake on the men, recently appeared on the Creative Coalition Gala in Washington, DC, appearing like he lost weight (click here to see photos).
This was not a surprise to us, as Jones clearly has the money to do what ever he wanted to make: 17-year-old makes the astonishing quarter of a million dollars per episode. Jones was even paid a few months ago not to even work in connection with the Shin dismissal of comedy and production on the series being stopped.
Jones was on the men since its inception in 2003, as he was about 9 years old and grew up in almost adults ever since. The fate of the series is still unknown, and if this return will begin filming this summer in time for the premiere later this fall. With Sinn was fired from the show were conflicting rumors that Sheen returns to the series, as well as other sources, noting that Warner Brothers is scouting for a replacement bus.

Seattle Seahawks coach was asked

Coach of the Seattle Seahawks was suggested rather complicated question about the newest addition the team, Wisconsin offensive guard John Moffitt, who was the Seahawks selected in the third round with the number 75 pick in the NFL draft on Friday.
But, like Carroll, laughing, trying to understand what is currently said general manager John Schneider stepped in to propose a final assessment of his new lineman.
"The guy ass kicker," said Schneider.
Ah. OK, then.
Moffitt - all 6-foot-4, 320-pound some of it - seems to fit the Seahawks, "said a vision of what the offensive lineman should be. They have already made a statement on Thursday about where they place their priorities, using the number 25 overall pick to acquire Alabama offensive solutions, James Carpenter, another guy who is a team of staff described as "unpleasant" and "road grader."
Thus, after 2-day project, the Seahawks already seems to answer some key questions about how they're going to collect their offensive front. Tom Cable, new offensive line coach, said Moffitt will play right guard from the very beginning, that is the Seahawks' starting line will be as follows: Carpenter on the right to decide on the right of Moffitt, Max Unger in the heart, the left guard is now to capture, and number of the last year in the 6 pick, Russell Okung, left to the decision.
What is interesting about the Seahawks' appointment at Moffitt right to protect what he played mostly left guard and center in Wisconsin. He started 13 games at center as a sophomore, started his junior season in the same position, before moving to left guard for eight games, came back to the center for the last two games of the season, then started all 13 games at left guard as a senior.
So the Seahawks' initial statement that he would begin his career at right defensive may mean that the group already has plans for what he would do with the left point guard position. And many have already suggested that these plans may include the soon to be free agent left guard Robert Gallery, a veteran who played for the cable, when he was coach of the Oakland Raiders.
Of course, this guess as to when the freedom of the will actually begin, especially now that the lockout is returned in place after the ruling on Friday the 8 th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the Seahawks are not interested in that right now. They're just happy to have prepared two players who Cable said he most wanted, especially after trading, compared with the number 57 takes longer to accumulate in the middle rounds.
"John (Schneider) asked me last week:" In my heart, if it came down the pipe the right way, what would it be? "I said Carpenter and Moffitt, and it turned out that way."
So Carroll and Schneider sat in a room on the second floor of the VMAC on the second day in a row, answering questions about another offensive lineman, they certainly help improve the running game, which almost set a franchise low rushing yardage mark last season.
"He's very physical kid," Carroll said of Moffitt, although he may very well have been describing Carpenter, too. "He has a real mentality about him that he would not retreat from anything. He comes to the football with tremendous force. It is a leader, he is sober, he had to take charge kind of guy. Just all of it breathes the form that we want to be around the offensive line. "
When he was still on board with the Seahawks on the clock in at number 57, Schneider pulled the trigger on the trade that sent that pick to the Detroit Lions, along with a fifth round and round six, in exchange for Detroit's third-round pick (75-place Seahawks used for the project Moffitt), the fourth-round pick (№ 107), fifth round pick (№ 154) and seventh-round pick (№ 205).
In essence, the Seahawks places fifth and seventh-rounder straight through with the lions, and the transformation of their second-round pick in the third and fourth hands.
Mission accomplished, then, since Schneider, Carroll, and others insisting Moffitt was their guy all the time. Schneider said he began trading number 57 pick up about 10 o'clock in the morning, and his gamble that Moffitt will continue to be there 18 places later paid off.
"I know you guys think I'm feeding you a line, but it's true," said Schneider.
GM talked about standing on the sidelines during this year's Rose bowl, watching the Moffitt team his Wisconsin team in the huddle with a fiery pep talk.
"You would not want any kids standing right there," Schneider said.
In a conference call with reporters, Moffitt displayed the personality that seems awfully hard not to love. He has a room full of reporters to believe that he took a year off before college to serve in the Peace Corps, then they were all laughing when he said it was all a joke, to help explain why he is already 24 years old.
"I'm kidding. I did not join the Peace Corps, speaks eloquently of the crawler. "You know what happened, I switched schools and I repeated the year in high school. I do not want to tell you, I like Billy Madison. The point in the Peace Corps sounds so much better, so if you guys want to print that do not hesitate. "
