Oh, Yeah? Watch Me!-- Thoughts on Movies

According to some guy on MSNBC, "Prince Caspian" is a "can't miss" movie.

Oh, I don't think so. While it might be the best named sea to swipe for a character's name ("Prince Sargasso" doesn't have quite the ring to it), I can do without most fantasy movies.

Iron Man is a decent flick and one that, if you don't have a gazillion-inch plasma TV, you might want to make it to the local multiplex before it is pulled. Robert Downey, Jr. might be a guy who has a lot of problems staying away from drugs and suchlike, but he is one hell of an actor and he did an excellent job in the movie.

I'd be a horrible movie villain, though. For, rather than disabling the hero, telling him my plans and then leaving him to die an agonizing, slow and certain death (which never turns out to be certain), I'd just pop him in the head with a .45 without uttering a word. None of this "I don't expect you to talk, I expect you to die, Mr. Bond" shit for me. No strapping some guy to an atomic bomb or leaving him in a doomed airplane or dropping him in a river or any of that crap.
