Much better. What a comic book adaptation should be: knows it's a ridiculous conceit to begin with and covers up for it by being clever.

Kick-Ass
No, you see, you make a movie that's both moral and amoral and it's like slapping the dog and petting it at the same time.

Green Zone
Production design question: How do you green screen a Spanish city to create the Republican Palace? Even if it's a matte painting, how do you stitch it in?

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
If you haven't read the comic books, you'll likely love the movie. If you have read the comic books, this might be a little less fun, since it's pretty much the comics on screen.

The Guild: Season 2
Currently, Felicia Day tops my list of people I'd most like to have dinner with. (Mathematician, violinist, gamer, book reviewer and actress? Duh.)
