With great power...
...comes some fairly bad movies, actually. I saw Sky High over the weekend, because, well, it's a superhero film about six high school kids and their wacky misadventures, thus fulfilling BlueDog's Law of Television.
It's not a good movie, but it's a fun movie. Go read reviews somewhere else. I'm not wasting time on this forgettable bit of fluff other than to say that the fight scenes are the best part (which is a bit odd for a Disney kids' film), since they involve many people being slammed bodily into large slabs of concrete.
Also, the fact that CGI effects have become so cheap and easy that it is trivial to make an overblown ABC Afterschool Special about superhero kids means that it is more likely that we'll see better and better superhero films in the future. Batman Begins is possibly the first film to get the core Bat-man concept right, and I suspect that we'll see The Watchmen any summer now.
Which brings me down to the important point. It was fluff. It wasn't very superheroic, really. But it made me realize that I really, really want to run the superhero game again. All I need is four players. I'd like five or six, but I'll go with four.
Concord City needs you. Will you heed the call?
