Anthony Hopkins

Apparently Anthony Hopkins was cast as Odin in Thor.  He doesn't seem very norse god-like to me.  Thoughts?[img]http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hopkins.jpg[/img]

Anthony Hopkins can and will do whatever the f*ck he wants.

Oh god I was so afraid that this would be a post about him dying. *whew*

I think he can pull it off.  Do you have someone better in mind?

kdcwedding

Salt, don't even say that.

Oh god I was so afraid that this would be a post about him dying. *whew* Me too. I was going to mention silence of the lambs in ricks' thread below. I saw that in the theatre, sped home b/c I was so freaked out and got pulled over for a speeding ticket. I was so afraid my hands were shaking and I could barely sign the citation.

It's really ok because he is going to hopefully just live forever.

This guy was supposed to play him.  Brian Blessed.  I'm going to stop posting pictures now.[img]http://www.bearotic.com/img/2008/06/brian-blessed-adventurer.jpg[/img]

AC, Silence is my ALL TIME favorite movie. Scares the hell out of me every time and I love it to pieces. I used to fall asleep to it because I love it so much :)You should read the book. With a light on. And your H home. And a baseball bat nearby.

I just assumed this would be a post about him scaring the fuuck out of me in Silence of the Lambs. I was wrong. And I don't know who Odin is, so I'm dumb too.

I love him. He is one of the best actors around.

Huh.  I think Anthony Hopkins is like a thousand times more regal looking than Brian Blessed, but I'm not sure if that's what we're looking for in Odin.  Interesting.

I think it may offend some of the hardcore Thor geeks, though.  Brian Blessed is Sci-FI royalty.

salt, I was thinking the same thing!!! and then, I thought, crap - that should go in my scary movie post, but it really didn't scare me - its a thriller. Vogt, I fall asleep to Halloween, or Halloween II or The Fog most every night...

Anthony Hopkins can do anything he want's to do.  I think he just may be able to walk of water although I've never seen it IRL

I think that makes us a little different in the head, Missy. But I like it!

I thought it was going to be a post about him dying too.  That will be a sad day.And, Anthony Hopkins IS practically a god anyway.  Not a stretch.  (He's already been turned "Norse" once in Beowolf.)  For comparison:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Georg_von_Rosen_-_Oden_som_vandringsman,_1886_(Odin,_the_Wanderer).jpg
