Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
1. Saw Ghostbusters on Friday. It's still awesome. It's good to check these things from time to time (considering I wasn't even 2 years old when it came out, I have to reinforce the old memory). I'll tell you what I do remember, though: with all the Ghostbusters toys I wound up getting over the years, somewhere in Miami there's still a closet with a crap ton of G.I. Joes and a Stay Puft-shaped hole.
Actually, I also remember taking my Ray Stantz action figure to the beach one day and burying him in the sand. Of course I never found him again, but I know somewhere a discolored miniature Dan Ackroyd is crawling around Miami Beach somewhere, endlessly searching for his career.
2. Jen and I saw The Shills at this new (or new-ish) venue called Café 939 (the tables in the photo are taken out for shows), over by the Prudential. They've got a very nice setup, clear sound, nice staff, and the shows are always all ages (something Boston needs more of, quite frankly). I'd like to start seeing more shows out over there, but if you get the chance and you're in Boston you should check it out.
3. (There is no 3)
4. I'm going to see The Dark Knight this weekend, and no one is going to stop me. After the Amazing Let Down that was Spider-Man 3, I'm glad I have Batman as the backup go-to guy. While on that subject, I bought the Batman: Gotham Knights DVD that just came out (think the Animatrix, except it's Batman). It's not the greatest thing ever made, but it's enjoyable. The best part of it for me was Kevin Conroy doing Batman again. As far as I'm concerned, he will forever be the voice of Batman. The bonus disc also came with a few episodes of the Batman Animated Series. I love that show. It was one of those shining examples you could always point to when people bitched about how cartoons were so much better in the 80s. I would go as far as saying that— without counting Batman Begins and by all accounts The Dark Knight— Mask of the Phantasm has to be the second best Batman movie. (I know what everyone's going to say, so I'll beat you to it: I loved Batman Returns as a youngin', but upon seeing as an adult: it's crap.)
5. (Still no 3)
Cheers,
