Thor Ragnarok DVD

One of the most fun times I’ve ever had watching a movie was seeing Thor: Ragnarok at the red carpet premiere. It was an incredible trip made great because Thor: Ragnarok was such a fun movie to see. It was funny, filled with action and the best Thor movie so far. I loved director, Taika Waititi’s take on the character. I also like how Taika was the character, Korg in the film. Looking over the extras on the Blu-ray makes me very excited to see more of this character through Taika’s comedy genius eyes.

Here is the Blu-ray trailer.

On October 9 – 11 I attended a Disney Press Event for THOR: RAGNAROK. My hotel and airfare and meals were taken care of while I was in L.A. Opinions and observations as well as recaps and such are all my own. This post will also contain some affiliate links to Amazon.com.

Rachel House was actually our very first interview on our Thor: Ragnarok press junket day. She plays the character of “Topaz”, Grandmaster’s right hand enforcer. She has a hilarious deadpan delivery that plays well off Jeff’ Goldblum’s Grandmaster and his eccentricity.

I was able to ask the first question. I asked, “how hard was it to keep a straight face with all those deadpan moments?” Rachel said, “I’m pretty used used to keeping a straight face, ’cause I’ve done a lot of Taika’s films, and it’s always like that. But some of the other actors weren’t so good at it. They were losing it, especially Jeff Goldblum, ’cause he was so funny. That’s not even half of it, what you see. It’s not even a quarter of the improvisation and stuff that we were doing. Jeff was just so masterful at improvisation.“
