O'Thursday
Are you wearing green today? Are you going to eat or drink anything green today? What? No, you say? Why not? Come on. Why the heck not? Pinches for you!
O'kay, just kidding. I'm not really gonna pinch you. But I do want to talk about the color green. It can represent many things to many people, but for now, let's talk about what it really means: money. The White House announced that they want Paul Wolfoshitz to be the new head of the World Bank. Yes, the same Paul Wolfoshitz that helped bring us the wonders of Iraqi liberation is now on the fast track to becoming more powerful on the world stage, handing out crippling loans to emerging countires. Oh, yippee! Keep pushing for the end of humanity, neo con!
I'm watching Star Trek: First Contact last night (the last great Trek flick). There's a point in the film when Lilly, a woman from the 21 century, asks Picard about how much the Enterprise costs. He tells her that there is no money in the future, something that I have always giggled about. No money in the future! HAHA! Deep down in side, however, I envy this fictional world where humanity's driving force isn't the satiation of material greed, but the pursuit for greater good. Man, that's real science fiction there.
Well, there was good news this week: the Incredibles came out on DVD!! Hot damn! If there were ever a film for superhero fans to embrace, this is it. And yet...not many have. Oh, sure, to smart people, it's a gift from the gods, but to the denizens of Dark Geekdom, it is an abberation! "Who dares make a greater superhero flick than Daredevil?!" they howl. Man, it's priceless to hear them biatch! No, I'm sorry FF, you had a chance to be a great film. Instead, the guy who made "Taxi" (2004) is going to offer up another wretched and under cooked cinema. I'd rather watch Roger Corman's FF than go to this. Ugh. They could have had Payton Reed....sigh.
