Real life keeps getting in the way.  Sorry.

New Vlad tomorrow.

Having a very cartoonish sort of Friday.  Time seems to be going in reverse, and very slowly at that.

Oh well, the weekend is inevitable, and with it, the prospect of another work week.  If only I had a rich distant relative that could leave me a fortune.  If only…

Just saw an ad for the new Punisher movie.  I saw the first one (the Dolph Lundgren one) back in the early 90’s, but I didn’t see the Travolta one (probably because I’m still bitter about seeing Battlefield Earth (no one warned me!)).

Anyway, it looks like it’s going to suck.  Which is a shame, because I’m a fan of the guy who’s playing the Punisher.  He was Titus Pullo from the HBO series Rome, which was an awesome, if a little indulgent, TV series (and it’s a damn shame it was cancelled).

Punisher was one of the first comics I started reading back in the 1980’s.  One of my earliest memories is reading a Punisher comic, in the course of which, the Punisher stabbed out a guy’s eyes with chopsticks (a sad day when I lost that comic).

How did that effect my childhood development?

Hard to say, but I’ve got the good judgment to just Netflix the damn thing when it comes out on DVD.

(I’m pretty sure Battlefield Earth scarred me more than the Punisher chopsticks thing.)

Also, they’re making an Ant-Man movie?  Seriously?  Is the thing a 90-minute apology from Marvel executives for its very existence?  Ant-Man sucks.
