super-antihero?
Well, ok, it was campy. It was really campy....and to enhance its campiness, TNT ran it over and over and over. Seeing it once was enough, but it was entertaining and fun. It's always good to see a woman in a power-role, also.
Anyone who was thinking it was going to be super-serious would have been tragically disappointed.......but I'm thinking a tv series would be kinda cool. Like Batman was campy, this could be campy too. I think people might actually dig it. It'd be easy to follow and understand and it would reinforce alllllll those Myths we carry around in our subconscious about how the world works.....
Although, I must confess I was more fascinated by the Library realm (what ARE those books???) than anything else. CGI captured my imagination moreso than the plot.
Meanwhile, I have learned a few other things and "moved on" as they say in therapy.
1. My Steelers have clinched their division. So I'm going to go to a play-off game and freeze.
2. How fast I drive is directly correlated to what my mood is.
3. My spouse really can't and won't (more importantly) clean the house, especially if I'm not there.
But hey, it's
Tannenbaum season, and I should be (and AM) grateful for the things in my life that give it the depth and complexity of a precocious Cabernet. Topping that list and not co-chairing the number one spot with anything is my older brother's return from Iraq and his comparatively short stay there. I mourn for those whose return is uncertain or came while lying in state. I recognize your selfless determination and grit to fulfill a task that seems impossible and may very well be an exercise in futility.....indeed, Dwight D. Eisenhower said:
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
and he also wisely noted:
I am praying for peace most fiercely these days.....perhaps this should be considered a warning.
Namaste
