There is so much hype surrounding all of this summer's hoped-to-be-incredible event movies.I'm probably more guilty than most at deifying these films, primarily because 98% of these films are being made for people exactly like me.
We are living in the Age of the Fanboy Geek.
Superhero movies (if done well) make major corporations a LOT of money, which means that the same guy who might have snickered at me a few years ago as I sat on the bus reading a comic book is now courting me as if I were a high priced hooker at the Emperors Club.
So, I get a little over excited about a kick ass Batman movie trailer from time to time.
It happens to the best of us.
This video from The Onion shows me just how ridiculous I've almost become...

I saw a trailer for Iron Man, starring Robert Downy Jr, and thought "he looks like Al Pacino, after his huge facelift".
Mark :-)
