A very interesting weekend...

I like these three days weekends. The extra day really does make up for the getting up earlier in the morning.

Friday was a good night. The day was not so pleasant, being all painfilled. That night, however, I saw The Hulk. Good film. It wasn't at all what I imagined it would be and it was a fascinating study. I enjoyed what Ang Lee did with the comic book panneling on the screen. There was one place where it seemed silly, but it wasn't Keanu level. It seemed like Ang Lee got a little lost in the trying to make it a comic book and resorted to his roots for pacing. It was a little jarring at times but still very enjoyable. Go see it.

Saturday I went to Cody's brithday party. From the begining I didn't really feel... a part of things. It was obvious, to me, before too much time that this was a strange thing for me. I haven't done the wandering off to another room to be by myself thing in a very long time. I was wondering where my introverted tendancies had gone... They reasserted themselves with a vengance. I told Cody that I was feeling very single and that isn't quite right. I was feeling very... seperate. If that makes sense.

Sunday was D&D as always. I love that game. Going to Veramar. Interesting. Very interesting indeed. We'll see what happens there. It certainly isn't every game where you seriously consider eating your party members because there isn't any other food. I'm glad that's over.
Pirates Of The Carribbean has been rated PG-13. This is the first time a Disney movies have been rated higher than PG.

Variety reports: Angelina Jolie is in talks to play Catherine the Great in "Love and Honor," the historical epic that Randall Wallace wrote and will direct for Disney. (Randall Wallace also did "Braveheart," "Pearl Harbor" and "We Were Soldiers")

Go see the Peter Pan trailer. Now. It has been awhile since a movie trailer made me shiver in anticipation like this one did.

The Punisher trailer
is better than I thought it would be. I still think if there is a Marvel comic book movie coming out that will be the one to ruin it all it will be this one. I'm not counting anything DC since nothing seems to be happening. It's hard to do The Punisher right and not make it cheezy. Gritty crime drama has been over done. I hope it comes out well.

As “Catwoman” prepares for principal photography this September, FilmJerk.com has learned from several sources that the newest screenwriter to try his hand at the project is Ed Solomon. Originally a DC Comics character, Michelle Pfeiffer last portrayed Catwoman in 1992’s “Batman Returns.” For this effort, the leather catsuit has now been passed on to Halle Berry. Whereas Catwoman was the alter ego of Selina Kyle in “Returns,” in this version Catwoman will be the masked identity of Patience Price.

Dark Horizons has Batman and Superman news. *sigh* Shoot me now. Ashton Kutcher? I hope there is some sort of as of yet untapped acting in him or I'm going to kill myself in the theater.

The new Entertainment Weekly today has scoop about Wonder Woman. "Producer Joel Silver, the man behind the Matrix, recently hired former Smallville writer-producer Philip Levens as screenwriter No. 4 for the project, in development for at least four years. Levens is taking his cues from the '70s TV show, equipping Diana Prince's alter ego with bulletproof bracelets and a boomerang tiara. Sandra Bullock has been considered in recent years, but now producer Leonard Goldberg (Charlie's Angels) says that he'll cast an actress "in her early to mid-20." (Rumor has it ex-Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot for the part.)" Oh dear.

JLA /AVENGERS #1: The most eagerly anticipated comic book crossover of all time has finally arrived, with alternating Prestige Format issues by Marvel & DC Comics. What cataclysmic threat could endanger two universes - and dwarf the combined power of both Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the World's Greatest Super-Heroes? With appearances by every Avenger and JLA member … ever. (Ever? Everyone? Wow....)

MARVEL 1602 - All's not well in the Marvel Universe in the year 1602 as strange storms are brewing and strange new powers are emerging. Best-selling novelist Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove bring to life a rich new vision of the Marvel Universe that Gaiman promises is NOT a 'What If" story. But how do Spider-Man, the X-Men, Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Dr. Doom, Black Widow, Captain America and more Marvel stars appear in the year 1602?

All that plus this. Mmmmm. Hopefully its good.
Our Tivo is all wacky.
