Movie-riffic
This weekend saw an unprecedented two films at once that I wanted to
see. I mean, egads, that's just... I mean, it's just not done.
But, nonetheless, I took in both The Iron Giant and
Mystery Men this weekend. Of the two, Iron Giant was definitely
the better one. I mean, a big, curious, surly-when-provoked robot;
how can you go wrong? That and really nice animation made it a hit.
Whereas Mystery Men was just sort of wacky. Fun, but not the greatest
film I've ever seen, or, indeed, anywhere near the list o' greatness.
Still, I'm in favor of comedic superhero movies, and perhaps this will
result in some better ones being produced down the line. Well, okay, most
likely it will result in lots of tripe all over, but hey, can't blame a guy
for holding out some slim hope.
In other news, you know you're a bookworm when your troubles have progressed
from "When am I going to find time to read all this stuff?" to "Do they
make strong enough wooden bookshelves to not collapse under all those books?"
Mutter, mutter, cheap pressboard rubbish...
