Three-word titles are often catchy because they never go beyond a given limit. Robert Kirkman demonstrates this principle with The Walking Dead. Why create some lengthy-ass title that no one will ever pay any mind? Instead, fashion some short-ass title that quite a few people will pay mind to all because of their very limited attention span and likelihood to stare at shiny objects.
So, my point being, the past few posts have had three-word titles. Short, catchy, to the point. That jazz.
As most of you veteran nerds may well know, Firefly, is nearing the ten-year mark come September. In commemoration of a fallen series, I implore you to help celebrate Whedon's brain-child by pulling an all-day marathon. Hopefully by doing so we'll have given proper homage to the entertainment gods and be graced with more shinies in the future.
Unless you want to jump into classic Greek tragedy or how much I hate my job, I believe now is good a time as any to conclude what probably won't be the shortest damn post ever. Consider this more as a filler between now and Tuesday.
Yes, I will be seeing The Amazing Spiderman at midnight for both my viewing pleasure and your entertainment review needs. July will definitely not let anyone down on new releases. Christopher Nolan may be the exception to that. Can you really follow up on Heath Ledger's Joker four years later? Honestly? I don't rightfully believe The Dark Knight Rises will hit the same mark The Dark Knight did back in 2008. Regardless, I'm a f*cking Batman nut, so there goes a near-future eight bucks.
Alright, class, open your books to #414- Convert one of Shakespeare's plays into either a song or musical.
Jonesy signing off.
