On a Clone High kick, thanks to Jeb getting me the whole series as Divx movies. I, er, uh, think this is the best cartoon ever.
Saw Fantastic Four over the weekend, and I must say, that I think the reviews have been overly harsh. I thought it was a good, straight forward, fun movie. Really, I thought it was exactly what a comic book movie should be – it glossed over the things you shouldn’t think too hard about (“Our outfits were changed too”, and Doom’s mask) and instead just tried to have fun. There were some good one liners, and as long as Jessica Alba wasn’t on screen, the acting wasn’t too bad. I swear, she’s not hard to look at, but she’s terrifyingly hard to listen to. Katie noted that her idea of acting is giving a puppy dog head tilt every third sentence she delivers. Would I have liked to see the FF actually get to be fantastic a little more than I actually did? Sure. But that has honestly been the case in every comic book movie so far. All in all, I say go see it, but don’t expect something that you can’t possibly get from a movie called Fantastic Four. Oh – why is it that they dropped the “The” from the title, anyway? They are The Fantastic Four, aren’t they?
On the art front, I’ve really wanted to draw lately, but haven’t had anything to actually draw. No pictures bouncing around in my head these days. Just too busy between work, Frisbee, and (man I’m so cool) bowling. I’ll get back on it soon, I swear.
