Most of my illness is gone now, still have quite a bit of head congestion and sadly my worst standard problem has emerged.... The bronchitis cough. Every time I get a cold, it ends up in my chest where lying down results in an uncontrollable and irritating fit of coughing. The has made it so that I (and poor Claudia) has had no more than 2 hours uninterrupted sleep the past few days. I am off to my lung specialist this afternoon to get my standard steroidal puffers to try and knock this out.
This morning I read an ad on the internet that reminded me about an upcoming film that I am VERY excited about. Spider-Man 3. I was a comic book fan/geek since I was just a little guy, although I mostly read X-Men, Spider man was the TV cartoon I watched every morning before school. The first two films have been (in my opinion) the best comic movies ever made, so keeping the same cast and director will hopefully end up with something really great. I am nervous because it looks like they are putting too much in one film. THREE VILLAINS! Until now, they stayed with one bad guy per film and still had 2+ hour long stories. That meant lots of character development, lots of good plot. I really hope that they are not falling into the trap of most other super hero movies and trying to cram too much in, losing the chance to do any of the characters justice... I guess I will find out soon.
Oh, has anyone seen "The 300" yet? I am reading lots of buzz about it and the trailer was good, interested to know if it is as good as the hype. Hopefully not too graphically violent. The last Frank Miller product "Sin City" was not my thing at all, I only lasted about ten minutes before shutting it off. My interests lie outside of that kind of material.

I have seen 300. Overhyped. It is like one long video game CGI cutscene.
I was expecting more based on all the fandom.

bummer. I guess that is another to wait for on DVD.
