Why didn’t anyone tell me that Thor: Ragnarok was set in 1992?
Turquoise and magenta armor! Jeff Goldblum (in louche mode)! Badass women in black leather and dramatic eye makeup! Homage to the Star Wars Cantina via Total Recall!
Not just any 1992 – that last picture is some straight-up Australian children’s television from 1992, like Finder’s Keepers or Ocean Girl or something.
This blew my mind. Then I realised Waititi likely grew up watching all these Australian kids’ shows on NZ tv as he’s about the right age and my mind blew again.
hello yes, i’m experiencing Pure Joy.
I had never considered Thor crossed with Ocean Girl and now my life will never be the same.
Salty Wings it’s a collaborative project by two Australian photographers,
@justjampal and @micgoetze that document the beautiful sights of Western Australia from above. You can see many more images and buy prints of your favorites here.
LMAO ! yeah, the cassowary is a pretty scary birb! But really, you’re not likely to see one outside of a rainforest or a wildlife reserve. Cassowaries haven’t killed anybody since 1926, according to this site. They’re not very common.
(that site is a riot, omg – my fave story on it is the one about the guy who “
fell into a mating hole of a brush turkey who then approached the man and tried to bury him in a mating ritual.” BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Yesterday I was talking to a coworker about things that can kill you in Australia and he pointed out one that I hadn’t heard of. So he googled it and showed me a picture and I was like ‘oh it’s a bird’ and he goes ‘IT IS A LIVING VELOCIRAPTOR.’
AND IT’S TRUE. LOOK AT ITS FEET.
ITS GOT THE CLAW AND EVERYTHING, JUST FLATTENED.
AND IT LIKE LAUNCHES ITSELF AT PEOPLE TO ATTACK THEM WITH IT’S CLAWS OF DEATH.
NATURE JUST CONTINUES TO THINK UP OF NEW WAYS TO KILL YOU. DO NOT GO TO OUTSIDE. NATURE KILLS.
Aw Yiss
