interesting

i can't say enough good things about the dark knight. and apparently i am not the only one. 300 millions bucks in ten days. all kinds of records broken and about to be broken.

i'm still trying to figure out where the next movie will be going. the rumor was that ledger was signed to at least 2 pictures. so whatever was being planned is clearly scrapped. and with that performance, there is not a chance they'll be getting another actor to play the joker.

my call: bane breaks the batman.

good storyline, lesser known character, could be a good route.

who knows.

professionalismish

just a thought about the media blitz on obama v mccain.

yeah, the media are harping on obama's trip around the world. yeah, mccain is getting treated as the secondary candidate. yeah, it does seem like the media is enamored with obama because of their constant attention.

but mccain is touring diners in east nowhere. obama is speaking to over a half-million people in germany.

maybe it's just good planning on the part of the obama camp. would mccain be getting more coverage if he were doing something interesting? probably.

obama is being held as accountable by the media as any candidate. the constant talk on the 24 news networks about "the rumors" about obama's being a muslim and whatever other nonsense is floating around the internet is surely not helping obama.

there will never be completely fair and unbiased news coverage in our current media culture. but for every sycophantic obama lover in the media, there are equally biased mccain supporters. it seems that the more mccain accuses the media of favoring obama, the more opinion articles pop up against obama.

i know in our paper we seem to offend the right wingers and the left wingers, so it seems like we're pretty balanced in at least one respect.

ne-ne-ne-ne Hellboy!

Obsessive might be the word. Excited sure works.

Hellboy 2 comes out on Friday. All of the hype is doing little to dissuade my belief that it will be a killer movie. Usually, the more advertising and pushing a movie does, the less i like it. As in: if it needs help through massive marketing, it clearly isn't good enough to stand on it's own.

Mr. del Toro is a genius. A man with a golden touch. He even made a movie with the horrible story and premise of Mimic watchable. The Hobbit movies are going to be amazing thanks to him and Peter Jackson teaming up.

The first Hellboy movie is a modern classic. Ron Perlman was born to play that role. Guillermo del Toro was born to direct that movie.

The cartoons were fun, but it's time for more of the live action Hellboy.
