Today went to travel and work during travel. Lunch was at the Austin airport, which amazingly includes a Salt Lick Barbecue and an Amy's Ice Creams; I ate food from both.
I'm home now, and I'm quite tired, so I'm going to leave you with a question that I'm sure has been nagging you as much as it has been bothering me: Is it possible that this
will finally be a good Fantastic Four movie?
I'm doubtful, but you know I'll check it out.

A bad movie does not necessarily yield a bad time. Tonight, we went to see the new Fantastic Four film. It was definitely a bad movie: terrible acting, a wardrobe and make-up team that clearly hated Jessica Alba and was determined to make her look terrible, no real explanation for the resurrection of Doom, and on and on.
I still had a good time. Part of my fun came in watching a character, the Silver Surfer, whom I loved when I was a kid. Another part stemmed from my joy in comic books. And simply going to the movie theater is a treat. I love the experience of the lights dimming, trailers rolling, and so on.
Mind you, this movie wasn't bad enough to turn the corner to good; it took itself too seriously for that.
Still, I had a good time at a bad movie. Go figure.
