This Saturday Night

Kathleen and I have tickets for the 8 PM performance of “Spider-Man: Turn Down the Thermostat,” or whatever it’s called. Still in previews, of course, which means basically it’s a glorified dress rehearsal. But for us, this is a definite can’t-miss event. I’m figuring it’s either going to be a “Phantom of the Opera”-level spectacle, or a “Dance with the Vampire”-level trainwreck. Either way, I’ll report back here. (No, I’m not gonna live blog it).

Top 10 Reasons Why I Should Direct “Iron Man III”

With the news that Jon Favreau will not be directing “Iron Man III,” and no successor named, I am hereby informing Marvel West that I am available to step in and take over for him.

I might seem an unlikely choice since I have not, in fact, ever directed a motion picture. But I figure that everyone has to start somewhere. And the fact that I have zero experience in this aspect pales in comparison to all the reasons I should be hired.
