REBOOT THIS

Batman has been rebooted, Star Trek is being rebooted, The Hulk has been rebooted...twice! Now I hear they want to reboot Superman too!? Didn't they just reboot that tight wearing freak? How about this. Reboot Hollywood!

There are a ton of great books, and graphic novels out there just waiting to be paired with the right directors and writers. I personally enjoy the Frank Miller graphic novel spin-offs to film. All done on relatively small budgets by Hollywood standards. Ridley Scott, my all time favorite director, has done masterpeice work with some great old sci-fi novels. But these works are to few, and to far between for my taste.

Some actors are getting a clue. Forgoing their huge salaries for these smaller budgeted films because I think they actually enjoy...gasp...making movies, as opposed to drawing a Tom Cruise pay check. Some examples of this are the aforementioned Frank Miller's Sin City with Bruce Willis, and one of my personal favorites Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation". I can't even look at a picture of Tom Cruise without chuckling to myself what a freak this guy is. It's even more painful for me that he's entered into a movie making collaboration with the hated owner of my beloved Redskins, and I have to see his fake ass poser mug on TV from the owners box from time to time.

My wife likes the Twilight books, but she says they royally fucked up the movie based on the first book. They are a little to "girly goth" for my taste, but that is an example of taking something a lot of women, goth or not, love, and spending cheaply to rake in millions. I understand your plight ladies. My wife has a busy schedule, and I pick up the domestic slack. I notice things like how much more you pay for fewer razor blades, than men pay for more blades to shave with. It's bullshit, just like the movies.

I don't know where I was going with this, but I do have a dream to share with ya'll:

Mick and I were in the midst of our cross country move, and we had to camp in a Virginia state park while waiting to leave. In the park there were some recently discovered Roman ruins, and we set up camp there. We let Nyx run free, and she hunted down some pigmy deer, dragged them back to our camp, and we ate them for dinner.

I noticed something brustling around in the bushes near our camp site, and found a white and black spotted hawk in there. It was injured, and hopping around behind the bushes. I had the number to the "Raptor Protection League" in my cell phone, so I called them to retrieve the hawk. In the mean-time I rounded up some field mice, and took them to the hawk, who ate them up.

Someone from the Raptor League arrived as I was feeding the hawk field mice. They ran over and grabbed all of the remaining mice from me, got back into their car, and sped off. I woke pissed off about that.
