Every Thor: Ragnarok Easter Egg

Thor: Ragnarok is absolutely jam-packed full of Easter Eggs for both Thor and Hulk.  I caught a lot of them, but nowhere near as many as Screencrush did and they’ve created the comprehensive guide to secrets in Ragnarok.  So, obviously, SPOILER WARNING, and go try to pick them out of the film yourself a few times before giving this a go and seeing how many of the 29 you can find.

Top 5: Bryan Singer Movies

Top 5: TV Episodes of All-Time (Comedy Edition)

Today heralds the return of director Bryan Singer to the cinema with Jack and the Giant.  While it doesn’t seem like this is going to be a classic on par with his earlier work (Rotten Tomatoes has it at 49% at the time of this piece), I’m just glad he’s back.  His career got off to such a spectacular beginning and, let’s not forget, we owe this man for beginning the modern comic book movie renaissance with the first two X-Men films.  Singer got his start in Hollywood as an assistant to Richard Donner whose Superman saga he brought to a close in Superman Returns.  I think the stress of that production and the backlash from some fans really shook him and threw him entirely off track.  I love Superman Returns.  I’ll have to do a whole column on it sometime, but I think it’s absolutely fantastic.  So here are my top 5 Singer films and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next year with X-Men: Days of Future Past.
1. The Usual Suspects (1993)
2. Superman Returns (2006)
3. X2: X-Men United (2003)
4. X-Men (2000)
5. Valkyrie (2008)
