First, I have to apologize for the last post. I thought it would be cool to put a music video thingy here, but I'm a little tried of it now beacuse everytime I open the page the video starts up. I don't even really like the damn song and now I've got to hear every other day. I guess that's the problem with using technology you don't really understand.

I'm excited to see the new Batman movie, but I'm not excited to see the Fantastic Four movie. It looks bad and, to be totally honest, I don't really like the Fantastic Four that much. As a child, I had a number of their comics (the first comic I ever owned was a Fantastic Four comic bought for me by my grandmother) but I haven't really had any desire to read them recently. Batman, on the other hand, has a number of really good storylines that I had recently been reading quite a bit.

I realize that many people don't read comics anymore and all they want to talk about are "graphic novels" instead. I think those people are stupid. Comics, specifically the superhero genre, are great. Accept them as they are. Obviously, other types of comic books are good reads, but superhero books are just as good, and a personal favourite of mine because that's what I was raised on. Give me tights or give me death.

What is the meaning of the Fantastic Four? Unless I'm being presumptuous in assuming that comics are really about other things than just beating up bad guys.

My problem with the Fantastic Four is that the stories themselves haven't been very interesting. It's just not my cup of tea. Plus, the movie looks like shit.
