Sorry about the lack of updates recently folks, the past week has been a busy time for me, what with moving home from college for the summer and all. But don't worry, updates should now resume unimpeded, I got ideas for several more comics and I had the presence of mind to write them down.

Anywho, it's SUMMER! Congradulations to those of you who are graduating, and a "Party Hearty" to all! And aside from general jubilation and beach going, summer brings us lots of MOVIES! And some of them actually look good this year... let's take a look.

I gotta start by talking about Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale. I saw it a couple days ago and it was excellent. Freakin' awesome, a contender for film of the year. Not your average Batman movie, that's all I have to say. Go see it. I'll wait for you. Go.

Back? Okay then, moving on. The only other movies out right now are pretty much kid movies. I just saw Howl's Moving Castle, (also starring Christian Bale as Howl,) which was a lot of fun if you don't mind anime, and if you can find it in your area. Madagascar has been out for a while... y'know, I was excited that it was coming out, but now that it's here I have no desire to go see it... oh well. And the only other interesting movie that is out right now is Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D. Yes, 3-D. Regardless of content, the 3-Dness sounds like a hoot. I figure I'll go with a few friends, and if it sucks we can make fun of it the whole time.

Oh, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is out already too? That one went right by me. Go check it out if you wanna see attractive people shoot their way through a predictable plot.

Now, if you don't need to see a movie right now, and you're willing to wait a week, Bewitched is coming out. It looks kinda cheesy, but the chicks seem to think it's interesting, so I dunno... maybe go with a group?

War of the Worlds opens June 29th. GO ALIENS!

Fantastic Four opens July 8th. I wonder how that one will be...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory comes out July 15th. Now THIS one looks like fun... The movie that scared me when I was six, recreated in a scarier way, and released in a year when I'm old enough to appreciate the candy-themed torture of children.
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, keep 'em coming dudes. Edward Scissorhands ruled. (These guys are also making The Corpse Bride, opening September 23rd!!!)

Anyway, Sky High comes out July 29th. I dunno, the trailer amused me.

Dukes of Hazzard comes out August 8th! The preview cracked me up, so I'm gonna check it out, it looks fun as hell.

And if you like scary movies, The Skeleton Key looked pretty scary to me... that one's August 12th. I'll go see it if somebody holds my hand.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop there... I could go on, but that Chronicles of Narnia movie doesn't come out until winter, so yeah, stopping. Did I leave out any good flicks? Let me know. Anyway, back to the madness for me! WOOOOO! Summer! -Lars
