A GRASSROOTS EFFORT

Yeah! Ha, ha, ha! Take THAT People’s Choice Awards! I hope you packed a lunch because I just took you to school!

Okay, so… maybe The People’s Choice Awards really isn’t that big of a deal. Still, it beats having to talk about another Saw movie for the fifth year in a row!

This strip is a continuation of Tom’s insistence of a Best Actor nod for Robert Downey Jr.’s performance in Iron Man from Wednesday’s comic. I didn’t really envision more than one strip when I wrote the first one until my friend Joe asked me if there was going to be a longer storyline.

I mean, I guess I could see where the punchline for Wednesday’s comic kind of set things, but I’m seriously just flying by the seat of my pants, here. I could probably do another strip on Monday. It depends what you guys think. Do you guys want to see where this goes or do you want me to do a strip about Zach and Miri Make A Porno? Halloween is next week. Should I do a Halloween strip instead? Send me an e-mail and tell me what you think!

Nothing much to talk about this weekend, movie-wise. Saw V is going dominate and that’s that. *YAWN* Personally, I’m kind of interested in seeing Pride and Glory. I know I shouldn’t be, though. It looks like such typical tough guy police corruption boilerplate. Like Joe said during The Triple Feature on Monday, it looks like We Own The Night: Part 2. Nevermind this movie has been on the shelf for 8 months after being completed. That’s typical a bad sign.

But still, I’m almost always interested in what either Ed Norton or Colin Farrell do and I think a pairing of the two actors is long overdue. Farrell experienced some over-exposure a few years back and I guess it led him to treatment for his alcoholism. I’m interested to see how that has affected his acting and intensity. Plus, it’s directed by Gavin O’Connor, which I’m sure means nothing to you. But he also directed the Kurt Russell Olympic hockey movie Miracle a few years back and I thought he did a really great job with that movie. It’s one of those films I quietly appreciate because I’m not typically interested in sports movies. What can I say? That one got to me.

At any rate, I might try to sneak out and see it this weekend if I’ve got nothing else going on.

That’s all for today. Thanks for checking the site and I hope you have a great weekend! See you here on Monday!
