Giving the fans what they want.
Is it really that difficult? And yet so often our expectations are ignored and scorned. Remember the Fantastic Four movie? Bah.
Well, Jon Favreau knows how to win over this fanboy’s heart. Check out the new Iron Man trailer. 2008 is going to be a great, great year for comic book adaptations. I predict this will be a winner.
Cars 2? :(
I hope this isn’t true. While Lightning and Mater sell tons of merchandise, the movie wasn’t the strongest. In fact, it was the only Pixar movie that at some point felt too long to me, right about when Sally grabs McQueen for a drive.
Now an Incredibles sequel is something I could get behind, especially if the characters have aged a few years so that Jack Jack gets a bit more screen time.
LOST: The Constant
Another Desmond episode, another time travel mystery, and a little bit more information about the island and the freighter’s crew. We got lots to chew on tonight.
Spoilers and a discussion of tonight’s episode after the jump.
Best Newman & Redford movies
So I took my wife out to Redford’s Tree Room for her birthday tonight. We got put in the corner beside Redford’s Butch Cassidy photos. We got to talking and were doing lists. Obviously two of the lists had to be Robert Redford movies and Paul Newman movies. So here’s mine. Let’s hear yours.

Speaking of the Teletubbies…
I don’t know whether it’s reached America yet, but prepare yourselves for the new BBC children’s show, In the Night Garden. I cannot even begin to explain how crazy little British kids are for the exploits of Upsy Daisy, Igglepiggle, Makka Pakka, the Pontipines, the Wottingers, the Haahoos, and the Tombliboos. My daughter sits transfixed by what can only be described as the kids’ TV equivalent of a deep, warm bath with candles and incense. I love it too and constantly try to coax my daughter into speaking ITNG-language: “TOM-bi-lee-boooos,” “Daaysy-Doooo,” etc. If it comes to PBS, be sure to watch. Put your pajamas on and make yourself a hot drink.

Harrison Ford movie-o-meter
It used to be said that Harrison Ford had never been in a bad movie. Man, did that change. Let’s see if the body of Han Solo’s work is now mostly good or mostly crap. Crude scoring as follows: 10 for good, 5 for OK, 0 for rubbish. If his average is above 5 then we can still consider Ford’s career as good. Read the rest of this entry
