le cry, want more Venom

Spider-Man 3, with that guy from Panic at the Disco oh wait I mean Spider-Man. Seriously, that emo bit was kind of hilarious. Someone made the interesting point on the radio that Sam Raimi was maybe following in part the storyline from the Ultimate label, which suddenly makes a helluva lot clearer about the movies. I'll still point out that I think it might help if someone were interested in reading the comics to remember that the literary version right now, and even for many years now, is what the movie-character will eventually grow up to be - the hero that the other heroes cheer on. All that said, I didn't think the movie was as horrible as I'd heard it made out to be (hee, Bruce Campbell can save anything, and Bryce Dallas Howard - wowzers), but it wasn't exactly great, either.

Stock Investing for Dummies, by
Paul Mladjenovic. Whoa that's a crazy last name. Mlaaad...anyway, pretty damn good book, lent by Wyatt. For as dry as one would think the topic would be, the author is concise, personable, and even punny in getting his explanations across. Not much to say, except that this book does exactly what it sets out to do - it's a perfect starter point for getting into its topic and full of further resources to look into. Now, who wants to invest in Wyatt and I, so we have some capital to work with?
