I Wonder, Woman

I hear that Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is directing the new Wonder Woman movie. Rumor was that Kate Beckinsale was cast as WW, though I heard it was an April Fools joke. I've also heard rumors about Katie Holmes (please NO!!!), Jessica Biel (can't act), Jessica Alba (if you can forget her in that lame Fantastic Four movie), Jennifer Garner (if you can forget the lamer DareDevil movie and even worse Elektra), Salma Hayek (too short, she's 5' 2!), Catherine Zeta Jones (too old).

Me, I'd cast Monica Belluci (though she's about 15-20 years too old for the role, she still has a body of a 20 year old!)

Speaking of comics, Giselle and spent the weekend at the MoCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Expo where she was selling her book. Sharing our booth with her friend Donna (from the Folding Bike Club) and our friend Kevin was selling his newest graphic novel in the next booth.

I hadn't been to a comic convention (other than last year's MoCCA expo) in about a decade. I don't know if times were changing or it was NY or it was the Alternative/independent comics crowd, but about a 1/3 of the crowd were woman, which is like twice your typical Sci-Fi/ComicCon of the 90's.

Certainly with the success of Spiderman, the X-man movies, Blade, Batman, and now Superman, comics are a lot hipper and mainstream than they used to be. Maybe it's all part of Nerd Chic or that comics were big in the early 90's and these kids are now in their 20's.

Duh Vinci Code

Da Vinci

Da Bears

We actually haven't seen the movie yet, but plan to this weekend. Giselle and I read the book and I wasn't too satisfied with the casting of Tom Hanks in the lead (Gary Sinise maybe or Gary Oldman would have been better). Maybe we'll see DaVinci Code and the Omen back-to-back. Oooooo!

It was a busy week last week. The Golden Trailer Awards were last Thursday night, hosted by Jim Gaffigan (you probably don't recognize the name but you've seen this comedian a lot). He was one of the best hosts we've ever had. And the after party was packed. I had my client from Texas in town and he was partying 'till 3:30am! Plus I had my mom and 3 guests staying with us that week. So our loft was packed.

This weekend I completed the Diabetes Associations Tour de Cure ride with 4 friends. Great ride and thanks for everybody who donated to great cause!
