Hm

A few oddities have passed my eyes these last few days and I thought I'd share a couple.

1) X-Men Origins: Wolverine - While I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, it's probably because I know nothing of the source material. It was visually appealing and the story just kept moving, but those claws. Terrible. It's like they didn't even try to make them realistic. They looked unfinished, with no reflection or real lighting effects added to them. To make it worse, they didn't look like a part of him. Reminds me of Superman IV (Don't remember it? There's a reason for that), where the flying effects were so lousy it would have looked better to have Supes ride a bicycle around. The most important feature of the hero shouldn't look like crap.

2) The Tech Guy - A woman calls Leo Laporte on his national radio show to help her get her wireless back. A wireless extender doesn't help. Turns out, she's been stealing her neighbor's signal for the last year and a half and now doesn't know what the problem is. Her defense? It's expensive.

3) Incredible Hulk - I picked up the complete series used a few months ago for a really good price and am now slogging through all of them. I'm about 10 episodes in and it's already starting to look like they're out of good ideas. My proof? A few nights ago I watched Banner hulk out and use his anger and strength to land an airplane. He even puts on the headphone and everything.

It all HAS to be uphill from here.
