Movie Night
Not sure if everyone knew but yet another super hero movie came out this weekend. I guess that’s great and all but I’m about burned out on the genre now. This summer may honestly kill the super hero movie market for a year or two… just to many to see. Iron Man, Hulk, Hellboy 2, Dark Knight, Hancock, on and on and on.
What I really needed was a change of pace… I needed a super villain movie. Thankfully Joss Whedon provided that with Dr. Horrible. If you’re interested in a comedic, super-villian, blogging, musical misadventure then grab it up on download. It’s worth it.
Now, if you still need a little more internet movie fun I’ve got one more recommendation - and this is one that not a lot of people are familiar with. Check out the flash video series There She Is! This is a series of flash videos that are really very well made. I’ve been a big fan for a while now and “Step 3″ of the series just came out!! Don’t be intimidated by the Korean text - there’s a button at the top for English and the video’s have English translations in them. The blue button directs you right to videos. Check them out!
As for me, I’m going to watch the series finale movie event Avatar: Sozin’s Comet which I missed originally but was lucky enough to find video of thanks to some of my Twitter friends!

FAIL! I just don’t get some of you people. How do you choose to be burned out on the genre right before the biggest movie to be released in like 3 years? There’s little to look forward to next year and last year was one of the worst selections of summer movies ever and you choose to get burned out this year?
Also, I wouldn’t lump Hancock in with the clearly superior foursome of Iron Man, Hulk, Hellboy and Dark Knight. All four movies delivered big time, and you are delusional if you think it will kill the superhero/comic book movie market. It is only going to strengthen it. In the next year we still have The Spirit, Watchmen, Wolverine and another Punisher movie. Marvel has movies about all the Avengers lined up. Superheroes and comic book movies are going to be a staple for a LONG time to come.
If you weren’t excited about Dark Knight, what movie could you possibly be excited for that isn’t out yet?

The Dark Knight was an AMAZING movie. If you see none of the other super hero movies this summer, you MUST see Batman.
It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo good.
Iron man was awesome, The Hulk was sorta okay, Hellboy was BEAUTIFUL, Hancock was an evil plot by an evil scientologist actor, and The Dark Knight was the best movie I’ve seen in years, superhero or not.
GO SEE IT.
