Soup of the day

So, the new Fantastic Four movie will be here soon. I have mixed feelings about it. The trailers look really good but the misshapen shadow of the first movie looms over everything. The Fantastic Four have always been a favorite for me. I can only hope that the new movie will get everything right; the family dynamic, the sense of wonder, the magnificent evil of Dr. Doom (he's the ruler of his own country for crying out loud, [and could we have a couple of Doom Bots please?]) Here's hoping.

Danny Elfman will be scoring the Hellboy 2 soundtrack. I liked the first one by Beltrami. I usually love a new Danny Elfman score but it seems he hasn't really knocked one out of the park since Sleepy Hollow. If anything can coax a wonderful score from him I would think it would be Hellboy, with his cast of characters and mix of the urban and the fantastic.

Fans of Dennis Miller rejoice. He has his own radio show. It's a mix of politics and comedy that often has me fighting not to laugh out loud while I'm at work, supposedly working. If nothing else, listening to him will expand your vocabulary exponentially (look it up).

The Stegosaurus dinosaur; not as extinct as we thought.
