I find it interesting that this arc had less and less to say about Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire the closer we got to the release date. I think I ended up saying more about Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan than I did about the franchise film I set out to review in the first place.

But aren’t you glad I didn’t make the more obnoxious Khan reference?

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!"

Whoops. Spoke too soon. Oh, well.

Does everyone remeber the earwig scene where Khan puts that creepy-crawling in Chekov’s head in order to get him to tell the truth? I don’t remember it exaclty. I haven’t watched the movie in a while. But for some reason I seem to recall a distinct crunching sound. That freaked me out. A lot.

At any rate, don’t forget to vote for Theater Hopper at Web Comics List and you can see the incentive sketch that recreates Dr. Marcato’s childhood interpretation of that scene.

I don’t have a lot to say today, so I thought I would remind everyone to post their location on the Theater Hopper map!

Remember, we’re not using this to collect information about you. Leave your name if you like. Leave your handle if you’re more comfortable. The only thing the map needs is your zip code to plot your location. It use’s Google Maps technology and it’s pretty cool. Attach a picture and a personal message, if you like!

I don’t know why I’m so facinated with this thing, but I think it’s really interesting to see where people are reading the comic from. I have to admit that I was really surprised to learn we had fans in Mexico and Singapore. Add your name to the list!

Also, since I’m in a linky mood, be sure to check out The Asylumantics by my good friend Chris Cooper. He’s got some good storylines going on over there right now that you should really catch up on.

That’s about it for me today. I think Cami and I are going to dodge the opening night swell of kiddies who will no doubt be out in force to see Harry Potter tonight. Instead, we’re going to see Walk The Line and catch a matinee of HP sometime over the weekend.

I’m really looking forward to Walk The Line. Not only because I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan, but because I’ve also been to Sun Records in Memphis where he started his career. I’m interested to see how much of Memphis in the 50’s and 60’s they capture in the movie.

You wouldn’t really peg Memphis as a vacation destination, but I would say it’s probably one of my favorite cities. A lot of cool stories in that town. If you haven’t been or explored its history, I strongly suggest you do so. Y’know, now that I think about it, I have pictures from my trip to Memphis in the THorum that you can check out here if you want to. That trip was over a year ago, but I think it’s a strong indicator of the spell it cast over this Yankee.

See you on Monday!
