For the record, today’s strip is not an endorsement to make a crossover film of this sort at any time… ever. It’s indicative of the grade-level pandering real life studio bosses think audiences are capable of handling. But there is something to be said by watching Jennifer Lopez being vaporized..

With hat out of the way, it goes without saying that I am WAY more excited about seeing the latest installment of the Star Trek franchise than I am seeing another Jennifer Lopez vanity pick. Nemesis is the 10th movie in the series, and as we all know, this being an even-numbered film, it will rule. It’s like universal law, or something.

I’m hoping to dodge a bullet and skip Maid in Manhattan. Hopefully Cami will let me earn “good husband” credit by seeing Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. This really isn’t a step up, per se. It’s more of a unilateral move. But I’ve developed an odd affection for Hugh Grant since his turn as a “villain” in Bridget Jones’s Diary a few years back. About A Boy strengthened my opinion of him.

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to a few new link pals I’ve made. Everyone needs to go check out Bollox, Jaded Chaos and Spudmonkey. They’re all great strips and deserve your undivided attention.

Little note: Lately I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on the site and I feel that’s due in part to the effort I’ve been making to branch out within the community. To all the new readers coming in from different sites, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for stopping by and checking out what I do here. I’m excited to have you check out my work.

For those of you who take the extra time to write, double-thanks to you. It’s a great validation to hear from individuals out there in the digital ether who did what I do. It strengthens my resolve to keep making Theater Hopper better and seen by more and more people.

I still have more I want to say, but it’s getting late and I have an early day. I’ll try and come back this evening with more chit-chat.
