Well, here we are. At the end of Blood Work Week. You know, it’s funny. I given this movie a lot more coverage then the average movie-goer. I think it was all but dismissed by most critics, and here I am spending a week on it while the rest of the nation is awaiting the release of The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
I don’t know who among us has our priorities more twisted.
I hope you notice a difference in quality in this strip compared to Wednesdays. I wasn’t very happy with the way that one came out, so I asked around for tips and got some good advice. I spent a little more time on this one. Hopefully you can detect the effort. Nevermind Jared looks like he’s screaming like a little girl meeting N’Sync in the last panel.
I’m finding it difficult to find consistency between the strips, but most of the people I talk to assure me that it will develop in time. I’m so impatient about these things. Working as a web designer, I’m used to my results being much cleaner. It’s been a while since I’ve worked in a more “organic” format.
I wish I had reason to sound off on some of the new releases this week, but truthfully, I’m not excited about any of them.
The Adventures of Pluto Nash is an Eddie Murphy sci-fi comedy that was shelved for two years. Producers say it was to complete complicated CGI work. I say the American public can smell fear. Castle Rock was wise to dump it August.
Positive buzz to the contrary, Blue Crush looks like nothing more than a brain-dead jock fantasy featuring rail thin actresses in bikinis. If I wanted to have my intelligence stunted, I’d watch The Anna Nicole Show on E!
I doubt I would have much time for movies this weekend anyway. It’s a big wedding weekend for those around us. I’m going to a shower tonight, and a wedding in Kansas City tomorrow. We’re all over the map pledging support to the sanctity of an institution.
I’m working on installing a blog that will allow for both myself and Jared (the guy with the brown hair above) to post to this area. This whole area feels so one-sided to me.
I’ve also moved around some of the links and cleared out the “VOTE FOR ME” boxes. Using those sites to promote myself made me feel kinda shady. Plus, the whole voting system is subjective and I don’t have the energy to beg for your validation. Cream floats to the top. If my work suffers and no one comes, that’s my fault, not yours because you didn’t vote on some site.
Anyway, enough ranting. Here’s hoping everyone has a good weekend. Why don’t you let us know what’s going down in your life by joining the forums? They’re really shaping up nicely!
