The Fantastic Four Are No More?

The description the new comic says, "one of the four will fall!" The design of the new comic replaced the iconic circle with the 4 to a circle with a 3. What looks plenty attractive from a design stand doing and made me want to pick it up and read. Not being a big Fantastic Four fan I didn't care that much on who died, unless it was Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, because he was a character that could always make me laugh and was interesting. But of course they killed him! Honestly they could have killed anyone else, except Susan Storm because like Johnny she has a power that useful, and I would have been OK with it. Reed Richards and The Thing are just useless characters in my opinion. Reed may be smart but all he can do is stretch and be smart. The Thing well is a rock basically and the only thing he does is say "its clobbering time" and even that is dated. Even though I'm not a big fan of the Fantastic Four I can't believe they killed The Human Torch!

Best Picture Nominations for the Oscars

The award season has kicked into high gear and with the recent announcement of Oscar nominations it leaves us with the question, who will win best picture? Its the award that is most anticipated every year. Some years the winner obvious and others not so much. With The Social Network winning best drama at the Golden Globes some wonder if it can win the Oscar. Seeing as there is a trend that movies that win the Golden Globe for best drama don't go on to win best picture at the Oscars. I am still pulling for The Social Network though, it was the best film of last year, of course in my opinion. Not only does the film have a great sense of the time that we live in, but has relevance to the computer age that we are living in. The only competition it has is The King's Speech which I don't think can beat it. The Social Network deserves best picture but only time will tell if it gets the award.
