spiderman iii

 

Can’t wait to see the new Spiderman. Well, I can but… I really think the Spiderman franchise is the best movie adaptation of a Superhero. We can see the soul of Spiderman/Peter Parker. We can make links with our lives (well, I do). At the opposite, Superman. Nice, classic superhero (my favorite when I was 3) but we feel so far from him. No wonder the latest adaptation wasn’t a big success. Even the Christopher Reeves ones, we can’t much say “oh yeah, I know what it’s like”. We see a dude flying and fighting a bald man (when the bad guy is the main interest of a superhero movie it’s not a good sign). Could they make a Superman movie closer from us ? I don’t know if I could find a way myself (still, interesting challenge).

At least, if you can’t make it close, make it wild, like the X-Men. They tried hard to put personnal issues in the franchise but the main interest is the wildness of these characters. Wolverine mostly. I don’t think you can’t put much wildness in Superman.

Hulk and Batman are a bit of a mix of closeness and wildness.

Superman is really something else. Maybe we still like him because he’s the father of all modern superheroes ?

300 - the book

 

After watching the movie 300, I went to see the comic book.

To me, it looked like a cheap storyboard of the movie. I don’t see the point of buying it since I saw the movie. But I will totally buy the DVD…

what do I swear by ?

 From Sulz’s post.

1. TV

24, House, The Office, Minuit le soir, Grey’s Anatomy, news and other stuff.

2. Thinking about things I could write

I fortunately am in a good cycle of creativity with way less wasteful thinking than over the last months and years.

3. Write to my European friend

Hello, European friend.

4. Comics

For the humor, I guess.

5. Free coffee at work

I can’t get as much excited about the free napkins.

6. Blog

I guess I’m a blogaholic.

7. My new mp3 player

Strangely, had about the same timing that the good cycle mentioned at number two.

8. *sigh*

Also has to do with two and seven.
