Also, with all the talk about a new Batman movie, and with how bad Batman movies have always looked and been, it was cool to see some raving fanboys (obviously costuming and propexperts) put up an online little movie short called "Batman:Dead End" with Batman in a cloth and leather suit (not rubber) that looked good. It has the usual choppy, "too much in too little time with not enough story" problem we have grown accustomedto in Hollywood blockbusters and the work of teenagers with video-cameras alike, but is worth checking out for the great job they did on the look of everything, especially Batman, who is meaner than he ever was in a movie before.(Batman spitting out blood after being hit in the face helps add that kind of grittiness that seems more realistic. It's pretty much impossible to get in any kind of a physical confrontation and keep all your dignity, to staylooking cool, clean and undisheveled)

I am Invincible! (and I'm a geek)
I now have the power to capture VHS tape and television to my computer and edit it. All because of an astute purchase on eBay. Yay. My performance on TV earlier this month is first in line to be transferred to digital media.
The cartoon script "Sonnet Crescent" is pretty much finished. The people whose personality quirks it blatantly lampoons seem fairly pleased with it, and not apt to take it too personally, so long as they get to be part of the fun.
Wow. I wish I'd been able to afford to go to the huge comic/sci fi convention in San Diego this week. Guests included Halle Berry, Kevin Smith, Angelina Jolie, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Robert Englund, Hugh Jackman, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, Mark Hamill, Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino and many others.
