Oh, man.

I leave for Comic-Con tomorrow. So excited!!!
Saw The Dark Knight at the midnight showing and loved it! Wasn't as shocked as everyone else since I had already seen a bunch of scenes online... like the first 6 minutes of the film and some specific Two Face scenes. People were once talking about Heath Ledger, but now Christian Bale has been accused of assaulting his mother and sister... well, he's getting some press now.
Still loved it AND LOVED the Watchmen trailer! That graphic novel series is AWESOME! I'm just not too keen on Malin Akerman being the second Silk Spectre.
I've also seen The Spirit trailer and Frank Miller is making a mockery of The Spirit. I am tired and done with Frank Miller. The only reason I slightly respected that man is because his ex-wife was the colorist for most of his comics/graphic novels and the 300 movie... which was the only GOOD thing about that movie. Too bad he divorced her. I hope Will Eisner haunts that racist and sexist bastard for the rest of his life.

Went to see Mamma Mia... twice. My mother and I are going to see it again when I get back from Comic-Con. LOVE IT! It is so much silly fun. I find it better then the actual stage show!
QOTD:"I’ve not seen any recent comic book films, but I didn’t particularly like the book 300. I had a lot of problems with it, and everything I heard or saw about the film tended to increase [those problems] rather than reduce them: that it was racist, it was homophobic, and above all it was sublimely stupid. I know that that’s not what people going in to see a film like 300 are thinking about but… I wasn’t impressed with that...." -Alan Moore
