Just got in from seeing "Thor" - liked it overall, wouldn't mind seeing it again. An opinion based purely on the movie's artistic merits.








The image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor walking around shirtless in those low-jeans, which is now permanently burned into my brain, has absolutely nothing to do with it.

He succumbed far too easily to the sedative injection for my liking

Have you seen this series by any chance?

uring the series there are one or two references to him having been awarded the George Cross but he (his character in the series) will play it down as not being very imprtant.

Unfortunately no I haven't. That picture is from the movie "A Bridge Too Far". One of the best Paratrooper movies ever released.

Great series, I like British detectives

It's an entirely different Frost BTW, IIRC they did tell what his George Cross was awarded for, and it's nothing military.
And besides, the colonel is named John, while the detective is named Jack. Also, John frost would have been somewhere in his late 70s/80s in the time period the detective series was aired.
Still, an awesome detective series
