For those of you who have been voting for Theater Hopper over at BuzzComix this week, you may have noticed a theme. Well, today I chose to continue that theme and I’m probably the proudest of this piece. It’s has a little sex appeal. Consider it a favor to the fanboys. And before you question – Yes, Cami approved it. Click the link to find out what all the fuss is about!
Today’s comic really isn’t so much of a dig against The Perfect Score – although it’s clearly a detestable slice of cinema. I think my judgment is fairly accurate when you consider the number of times I’ve seen the advertisements for this movie on MTV, I’ve been able to stitch together the entire beginning, middle and end of it without having paid a dime.
I really wouldn’t need to go to all that trouble. They basically give away everything in the trailer. Some high school kids are stressed about the S.A.T., so they decide to steal it. After much ballyhoo, they realize that, in the end, it’s just a test and they’ll still be good people once it’s over. MORONS!
Cami’s take on Scarlett Johansson (while not as violent) is pretty fairly represented in today’s comic. I dunno. She just doesn’t like her. Thinks she has attitude. Doesn’t work well with others. In a way, I can see it. Part of me knows that there won’t be much left for her once she grows out of her ingenue phase. She seems cold. Distant. A little W.A.S.P.y… Is it just me?
We have a big weekend planned. Lots of time with friends and family. Of course The Super Bowl is involved. I don’t follow football very closely, but even a casual fan like me can recognize that the match-up between the Patriots and the Panthers is going to be a real snooze-fest. There is no rivalry between the two teams and no personalities in their roster to cheer for. It’s kind of like two inner city gangs showed up to the same place at the same time expecting to fight, but then not having a problem with the people they end up meeting there. It’s kind of an “Oh, you’ll do.” situation.
Side Note: I just had the complete first and second season of The Critic dropped off on my front step this afternoon. If you haven’t seen this Jon Lovitz animated program on Fox or in reruns on Comedy Central (it was produced by the creators of The Simpsons), you owe it to yourself to pick it up on DVD. It’s essential watching for all movie satirists.
Take care everyone! Stay warm this weekend!
