Every day a new city, a new IHOP. And yet every night the dreams get worse. I ply the highways, a nervous eye on the rear-view mirror, the back seat piled with stolen menus.

Dark Knight
My wife and I went to see The Dark Knight at 12:45am. I am a huge Batman fan and this movie did not disappoint. It was just a hair under three hours long, and — aside from the fact that I knew I was going to be late to work today — I didn’t want it to end. The film is at least as good as Batman Begins, if not better; and I thought that was the best Batman film ever. I also thought that all of the Oscar talk for Heath Ledger as the Joker was merely because of the actor’s untimely death, but after seeing his performance I don’t see how he couldn’t get nominated. Run, don’t walk, to see this in the theater. It. Is. Awesome.

All the Baseball Games Are Lost
“All the loves in the strip are unrequited; all the baseball games are lost; all the test scores are D-minuses; the Great Pumpkin never comes; and the football is always pulled away.” — Charles Schultz on Peanuts

Superman Returns
My biggest fear was that they were going to screw up the music. John Williams’ score in the original movie made the film. I mean, the music was the movie. There couldn’t possibly be a movie without the duh, duh-duh-duh, da / da-da-daa. The first time I had any idea that there was a new movie coming was when I saw a one-sheet outside a theater about six months ago. It was just his logo on a black background with the title below in a very, very small font. The sight of it brought me close to tears.
Yes, I am that much of a geek.
If they didn’t use the music, it would be a complete failure.
When I was a kid I lived for each new issue. I was at the comic book store with seventy-five cents the day they got there. My sister and I religiously watched the cartoons. I had the old radio shows on cassette tapes. I painstakingly perfected the S in the margins of every textbook I owned through elementary school, high school, and college. I knew every arch-nemesis, every power, every girlfriend (human or mermaid).

Peppermint Patty
I find it completely incomprehensible that Peppermint Patty refers to Snoopy as “a funny-looking kid with a big nose.” How could she possibly not recognize that he is a dog?!

Far Side
“I know you miss the Wainwrights, Bobby, but they were weak and stupid people - and that’s why we have wolves and other large predators.”
Update: I received an email from Gary Larson’s attorneys requesting very, very strongly that I remove the image. :0(

If you still haven’t been able to catch my card at FriezLog’s Weblogémon, but you really want to see it, I’ve posted it here. I think it’s a pretty fair representation of what I’d look like if I was a Japanese animated character. <grin>
