Shrek the Third

Saw Shrek the Third last night and laughed a lot. Apparently the critics aren't liking it, but like I told someone at lunch today, I like talking about comedies because I don't have to give any thought to my reviews. I either laughed or I didn't. It was funny or it wasn't. And though there are a couple of groan-inducing jokes, it's a funny movie and I had a good time watching it. Plus: Puss 'n Boots. He's awesome.

Other than that (okay, including that), this is a lazy post day. I'm off to meet my sometimes co-writer Alex Ness for dinner and talk about some projects we're working on, then I'll stop by the comics shop and maybe the bookstore. Tomorrow Diane and I are going out to see Keira Knightley rescue Johnny Depp. At some point I will find those Phil Jimenez Wonder Woman issues so that I can finish Part Two of that post.

Tuesday is my birthday, but we'll be celebrating with a big cook-out at my folks' house on Monday since everyone has the day off. I'm not planning on doing any posting on either of those days, so I hope all my US friends have Happy Memorial Day weekends and every one else just has great weekends in general. See you Wednesday.
