		<description><![CDATA[Marvel Enterprises has reportedly cast a relatively unknown actor to play its famous Norse god, here's our suggestions for the lead role.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/thor_lead.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/thor_lead.jpg" alt="thor_lead" title="thor_lead" width="625" height="483" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32142" /></a><br />
<em><font size="1"> What mere mortal dares play the god Thor in a movie?</font></em></p>
<p>Many douche bags have a god complex, but who among them is worthy of playing Marvel Comics&#8217; flying, hammer-wielding Norse god <strong>Thor</strong> in the superhero&#8217;s upcoming big screen adaptation? Marvel and director <strong>Kenneth Branagh</strong> have reportedly decided that the man for the job is <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2129561600/nm1165110" target="_blank">Chris Hemsworth</a></strong>. The Australian actor does a fine job playing James Tiberius Kirk&#8217;s ill-fated father in <em>Star Trek</em> for like eight minutes, but is he ready to fill Thor&#8217;s sandal-boots? </p>
<p>Maybe, but before filming starts, Complex would like to <strong>throw out a few fail-safe alternatives</strong>. Typically filmmakers could give a shit about who fans think should be cast, but we&#8217;re sure Branagh will hear us out. Unless he wants to get hammered, that is.<br />

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>GREGG VALENTINO</strong></font><br />
• It&#8217;s about time an openly steroidal circus sideshow act whose muscles have muscles is cast as a superhero. Do you really think those freaks are all natural? Their women have biceps for labia!</p></blockquote>

• Besides the fact that you can&#8217;t even write the name MAGNUS! without caps and at least one exclamation point, this former &#8220;World&#8217;s Strongest Man&#8221; title holder from Sweden actually possesses superhuman strength and size. He has to have superhuman strength just to prevent those massive stones of his from dipping into the water every time he hits the bowl.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>NICHOLAS CAGE</strong></font><br />
• Get him some virgin blood wrinkle cream, character-appropriate hair plugs and a leading lady love interest young enough to be his granddaughter and there&#8217;s no action hero the corpse of cagey Nic can&#8217;t play.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>TONY LITTLE</strong></font><br />
• Thor = muscles + hair. How could casting overlook the pony that rocked the world of late-night infomercial workout equipment collecting dust in your basement?</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/overthehillactors_main.jpg' alt='overthehillactors_main.jpg' /><br />
<strong>Nicholas Cage</strong>&#8217;s new international assassin flick <em><strong>Bangkok Dangerous</strong></em> sounds like a PSA for wearing a condom with Thai tranny hookers, but the lesson we&#8217;re taking from it is that aging movie stars need to act their damn age. </p>
<p>No matter how bald, wrinkly, and senile they get, offenders like Cage, <strong>Sylvester Stallone</strong>, and <strong>Harrison Ford</strong> continue to run around firing shots and nauseating audiences by tonguing down hot chicks half their age. We compiled some evidence to help you decide which actor is most out of pocket, like the balls hanging down to his shins.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicholas Cage and Xzibit are starring in the remake, but can it hold a candle to the 1992 cult classic? Say hi to the bad guy, Harvey Keitel.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/badltposter.jpg" alt="badltposter" align="right" /></p>
<p><em>Variety</em> is <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117988431.html?categoryid=13&amp;cs=1" target="_blank">reporting</a> that <strong>Val Kilmer</strong> and <strong>Xzibit</strong> are the latest to sign on to <strong>Werner Herzog</strong>&#8217;s update of <strong>Abel Ferrara</strong>&#8217;s 1992 crooked-cop classic <em>Bad Lieutenant</em>. The new version&#39;which Herzog <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=45673" target="_blank">is claiming</a> is not a remake, but a continuation&#39;stars <strong>Nic Cage</strong>, though we doubt Ol&#8217; Melty Face can hold a candle to <strong>Harvey Keitel</strong>&#8217;s original performance. </p>
<p>Keitel&#8217;s drugged-out, alcoholic, minor-raping, compulsively gambling scumbag paved the way for <strong>Denzel</strong>&#8217;s <em>Training Day</em> tour de force and reinforced what quite a few of us already thought about the boys in blue (word to <strong>Spider Loc</strong>). After the jump, check out a few famous moments from the original flick, as well as the <strong>Schoolly D</strong> banger &#8220;Signifying Rapper,&#8221; which was featured prominently in the movie (and was ultimately cut from the VHS version after <strong>Jimmy Page</strong>&#8217;s bitch ass complained about the same &#8220;Kashmir&#8221; sample that he later gave to <strong>Puffy</strong>).<br />
