Saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs again. What a fantastic film. I planned on buying the DVD, but put it off because I knew I’d probably be seeing it again at the bargain cinema. But after seeing it, I almost stopped and picked it up. This is just such a wonderful movie. Bizarre, goofy, funny, and heartwarming. Highly recommended.
Onto the subject at hand…
Recently, I found myself in a short debate on the nature of villainy. What makes an interesting villain? What doesn’t? Is a colorful villain the same as a more subtle villain? Stuff like that. Rather than repeat it all, I recommend you check out the comments on my Opinions Vary blog entry. Some ideas are shared, and it makes some interesting reading.

Opinions are a funny thing. Â We all have them, and, no matter how much we might have in common with each other, no matter how similar 95 percent of our thoughts may be, there’s always disagreements. Â My buddy Nik and I both share a love of pulp, of Transformers, of superheroes and Heroscape. Â But we don’t always agree. Â He thought The Dark Knight was a good movie. Â And I thought it stank on ice. Â And that’s weird. Â And it shows how delicate and peculiar our opinions are.
