Dare I suggest...?

After reading about the origins of this summer's Hulk movie mulligan, and seeing the trailer for Frank Miller's movie adaptation of The Spirit (featured below), I have to ask: Why doesn't Marvel Studios make its next movie do-over a Daredevil feature by Frank Miller? No one remembers, or much liked, the 2003 movie with Ben Affleck (except, I imagine, Affleck and Jennifer Garner and their kid). So why not let Miller return to the character in a great big graphic green-screened tale?

Is this a great country or what?

MS Word's spellchecker recognizes "Schwarzenegger" as a word.

(Which strikes me as something of an impossible task, since the book clearly takes place in a world not-quite-just-like ours, with Attorney General Comstock, not Reno, the existence of Qwlghm, and the use of "Nippon" in lieu of "Japan"...)

Reading about the curious tale of Batman Jones, I am suddenly grateful all over again for the easy time we had driving V. home from the hospital...

Redeemed!

I'm always vaguely embarrassed by the fact that I watch Hell's Kitchen; it's not very good, it's so overblown you can cut about ten minutes from each episode just by forwarding through the recaps and credits; and the whole thing is so forgettable that I forget what's happened in each episode about two minutes after it ends. Last summer, She Who Must Be Obeyed and I agreed that the show would probably drop off our schedules once the baby arrived. But when it popped up on our scheduled recordings list last week we decided we'd watch the first episode at least.

And we were rewarded in our faith, for Chef Ramsey hath delivered unto us the kind of thing that keeps me watching stupid reality shows. For one of the contestants, when charged with whipping up his signature dish, created something he calls "Hen in a Pumpkin."

Hen.

In.

Pumpkin.

I imagine it would go well with bacon on a cat.
