Wenom

I is tired,

In a stunning first for TNG, the following is a brief, spoiler-free review of the movie Spiderman 3.

Unfocused is the first word that springs to my mind. With three villains and and a huge array of secondary characters the whole affair was woefully underdeveloped, despite its two and a half hour running time. After a slow start the movie does pick up and provides some thoroughly entertaining moments. However, the entire plot is built on an series of escalating contrivances and any attempts at taking it seriously are doomed to failure. Most of the "emotional" moments were met by audience laughter and the rest felt ridiculously forced. Despite these complaints, I found it to be a mostly fun waste of 150 minutes.

Alright, midnight showings make me sleepy. Perhaps more on this later, but don't count on it.

I am Iron Man,

In comic-related news, I had a hilarious Free Comic Book Day. I went with a friend at 9:30, we got to the store right as it opened and each picked up 5 books.
I got the Oni Press book (Whiteout), thinking O'Malley would be published within. Alas, this was not the case. I found the right book after getting home and LO: Some friends were able to pick up the last copy.
So never fear, good sir: You shall get to read it.
