I haven’t posted in a long time (as pointed out by wonderful girlfriend Tana ;)). So here’s some random stuff that I thought about but wasn’t really big enough for a full post. (more…)

I love the Squadron Supreme crew that J. Michael Straczynski recently retold. It’s basically Marvel’s retelling of the DC universe with a twist. A little background info might be needed. (more…)

Saw Blades of Glory last week with Tana. I think you have to be a fan of Will Ferrell to enjoy the movie. Most of his movies are just stupid humor. He plays the big idiot who is clueless and he’s surrounded by other funny people. But for the most part his character really doesn’t change. More like his voice changes and they add little things to the character. Take Ron Burgundy and his Blades of Glory character. In anchor man he was a sexist news anchor from the 70s. In Blades of Glory he was a sexaholic who knew how to skate well. Any of the lines said in Blades of Glory I could picture Ron Burgundy saying. I think thats the problem with some people. They don’t like that character and he’s pretty much the same in every movie (minus Stranger Than Fiction and a few others).

I thought the movie was very funny. Still not the best Will Ferrell staring role, but I’ll be picked it up once it comes out on DVD. I still think Anchorman is the funniest of his movies. Matter of fact I should rank them!

1. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
2. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
3. Blades of Glory
4. Old School

Now that’s just those funny movies where he’s one of the main characters. I also loved him in Wedding Crashers and Starsky & Hutch.

Overall Score: A-

I thought this was kind of cool. Joe Quesada posted this video on his Marvel Blog. It’s Dr. Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum in 3-D.

Finally got a hold of Captain America #25. What I hate about these issues that the media reports on is that in 3 years it’ll barely be worth the cover price. But until then it’ll cost you $20 bucks. I don’t collect comics so I can put my kids into college, I just like the escape. Needless to say I had no problem waiting for the 2nd printing to read about Cap’s death. Ok back on topic (more…)
