THE DARK KNIGHT
Buzz is certainly high regarding the latest Batman movie opening this weekend! Our own ED Tucker and Mike Smith have given glowing reviews, joining pretty much all of fandom in already proclaiming it the summer's biggest film. Our Tampa group is expecting to attend a showing this weekend.
Apologies and a mea culpa for last issue's brain fart referring to this movie as Batman Returns ("At The Movies," since corrected). That, of course, was the Tim Burton film, not Christopher Nolan's. Half-asleep, I was probably confusing it with Superman Returns.
AND FURTHER APOLOGIES...
For running so late with this week's PCR. Several of our entries had to be hand-formatted which usually doesn't happen all at once. Took much more time, but I think we're slowly coming under control now...
A WORD ABOUT HELLBOY 2
I know everyone's got The Dark Knight on the brain this weekend, but I wanted to say a few words about Hellboy 2: The Golden Army which was our group's movie choice last weekend. Generally speaking, we were all quite pleased. Mind you, you're basically watching a Guillermo Del Toro fantasy indulgence that just happens to star Hellboy (lots of similarities to Pan's Labyrinth, and hell, even Blade II! ) with not all that much to do with the Mike Mignola comic, but it's a decent ride.
FURTHER...
Earlier in the week, several eagle-eyed readers caught a few...er....awkward internal conflicts regarding our mission here. I've had a pep talk with the involved parties and things should be settling down now. However, it might be a good time to remind everyone of our priorities and restate for the public what it is we're trying to do. Out of time for this week, though, I'll gather my thoughts and approach it fresh for next week's PCR.
