First off, over at the Invincible Super-Blog Chris has posted a beautiful summary of 'Civil War', Marvel's big mega-crossover-of-suck. You can see it HERE.

snowwand and I went to a sneak preview of '23' last night, which was, um, intriguing. I'll try to avoid spoilers, but I have to make these points:
*Dear Joel Schumacher: There are many uses for an adorable white boxer/pit bull named Ned. As a creepy symbol of spooooooky portents? Let's just say Ned must've had a hell of an agent.
*Dear Jim Carrey: if you're getting millions and millions of dollars to play the part of someone who plays the saxophone, at least learn to hold it. Cuz in this movie it looked like you were holding a loaf of french bread and were afraid that it was moldy. Oh, and also? I got a phone call from 1989, and Michael J. Fox wants his hair back.
*Dear writers: Saying an author's name is "Topsy Cretts" is clever--when it's Bart Simpson calling Moe's. Putting it in a suspense film and expecting the audience to be shocked, shocked an hour into the film when the main character finally gets it? Um, no.
*Speaking of names, dear other characters in the film: When a man names his son "Robin Sparrow", you have NO RIGHT to be startled later at the thought that he might be mentally unstable. None at all.

Tonight we have to deal with hugely overdue library books, but next Monday? Maybe trivia?
