I’m making this post from the parking lot of Fantastic Four: First Steps. It was actually pretty good! The characters were done well, they skipped the redundant origin story, and the world had a consistent aesthetic with great props. It was refreshing to hear a Marvel movie with an original soundtrack and score that fit the specific feel of the movie instead of generic action hero tones. Really impressed with how they handled Galactus, a planet sized threat, without making the movie too goofy. Actually, it was exactly goofy enough when it needed to be.

Steve-O has a signature that leaves an impression. The older I get, the more I feel the pain of the physical stunts. At his live show he shared clips from stunts that were too dangerous for television. This sounds like an empty promise, but there really were some bits that a bit heavy. Don’t get me wrong, hilarious pranks and stunts and I like to see some edge at a live show, but I can’t say that MTV was wrong. They told him they didn’t want to endorse a skit where he walks into gun store and asks which pistol would be the best for blowing his teeth out.

I saw Glen Gary Glen Ross on Broadway last weekend. It was a great show! Weird though that a lot of the audience laughed at parts that weren’t supposed to be funny, I think because it featured funny actors, people showed up expecting a funny play. They laughed nervously at the racist monologue, very “Springtime for Hitler”.
