More on that at a later date. It&#8217;s starting to ease up, though, so for the moment I at least have the opportunity to offer a short new post.

At least the sound bite version: &#8220;strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men,&#8221; &#8220;rocketed to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton,&#8221; and so forth.
The thing is, it&#8217;s really hard to build actual stories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short version of my previous post:  I really didn&#8217;t like the movie. To me, it not only doesn&#8217;t work as Star Trek, it just doesn&#8217;t work as a movie, period. It has Big Stupid Summer Action Blockbuster in its very cinematic DNA. 
Lots of fans seem to be embracing it, though. Ironically, I could do worse [...]]]></description>

With IMAX tickets booked well in advance, my girlfriend and I and some friends went out for dinner and conversation, then joined an enthusiastic audience for the long-awaited and much-publicized film. It was a lovely spring evening, and overall we had a good time.

But I have been pondering, of late, the sort of things I like to read and watch, and I find myself mulling over some commonalities. There seem to be four recurring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What.
The fuck.
Was that?
Seriously. Final Crisis #7 was every bit as crashingly disappointing as I feared it would be, and more so. Grant Morrison&#8217;s reach clearly far, far exceeded his grasp.
It certainly did exemplify a writing style he earlier described (warned? threatened?) as &#8220;channel-zapping,&#8221; though, and gods willing no one will ever be tempted to try [...]]]></description>

Wow, that was crap.
Again.
I kind of enjoyed issue #5, enough to be hoping for an upward trend as this story neared the home stretch. Apparently that was too much to hope for, though. (Which perhaps shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise, given the book&#8217;s multifarious agenda to be simultaneously a big [...]]]></description>

Abrams&#8217; upcoming Star Trek film will be in keeping with the spirit of Trek as we&#8217;ve come to know it over 40+ years. I&#8217;ve written about it myself, but I&#8217;m far from the only one&#8230; and Abrams himself hasn&#8217;t exactly quelled such concerns with [...]]]></description>
