Early Comics
I just realized that so many comics characters from the early days of comics books and animated films were targeted only to adults. The children had Disney characters eventually, but in the early days even the Disney characters were adult in nature, such as Betty Boop and Fritz the Cat.

Thursday Discount
Ever notice that Tuesdays are when all the new movies come out on DVD? All the posters at WalMart are always promising these great new movies coming out – NEXT TUESDAY. All the new Redbox rentals come out on TUESDAY.
I say, equal time for THURSDAYS! There is nothing to do on a Thursday night- it is too early to start the weekend partying, and its the day before payday so no one has any money to spend. I say, let Thursday be the new movie night!

Oscars
The Academy Awards is on tonight. I haven’t seen a single one of the films that are being nominated. I frankly can’t afford to spend $10 – $15 per person to go see a movie in the theaters any more. I don’t go to the movies alone, so my out of pocket is anywhere from $20 to $40 for two of us to see one movie. They charge extra for 3D movies, and all the new movies seem to be coming out in a 3D version.
It will be interesting to see which movies win the Oscars tonight. I’m looking forward to watching most of them – when they come out on DVD.

Summer Blockbusters
The summer blockbusters are starting to get the advance publicity and commercials. All the talk show hosts are having movie stars as guests who are there to promote their new movies.
I’m looking forward to some great new action films, like the new Star Wars and the new Terminator. In a few weeks the new Transformers will be in theaters. This will be a summer of big movies, I can already tell.

21
I woke up early yesterday morning and decided to turn the T.V. on for a few minutes. I couldn’t fall back asleep so I was hoping to find something entertaining on. As luck would have it I saw a great movie. It was called 21 and was based on a true story. It revolved around the case of 4 college boys taking over Vegas by learning how to count cards. When I say taking over Vegas I believe they made something over a million dollars in BlackJack. For a skill that takes a few months to master that aint too bad. The movie is great especially if you’re into gambling.
