Today’s been pretty fucking awesome. Saw Superman Returns with Jason in IMAX 3D this morning in Cincinnati. It gets a rating of “B” for Bodacious. Best superhero film since Spider-Man II, hands down. It’s long, yes (about 2.5 hours), but I didn’t check my watch except for once, and that was because I was wondering how soon a particular ending scene was coming. That’s one of the ways I judge films now: how frequently I check my watch. For example, during Click I started checking my watch after twenty minutes and then about every fifteen minutes thereafter, because it was BAD. But with Superman Returns — only once. Go see it. I can’t recommend it enough.

The other cool part of today is that I finally finished chapter one of my book. (See the Novelogue for deets.) I’m about one-eleventh of the way done, and I’m still retaining interest in it thus far. Always a good sign.

On an entirely unrelated note, I downloaded the techno song from the ‘Venture Bros.’ season two premiere. It’s called “Everybody’s Free,” and it’s performed by Aquagen feat. Rozalla (you can listen to it here). It’s like the crack the kids are into these days: I can’t stay away from it.
