I've heard heroes have good dental

I feel like I have neglected my blog a bit. I mean SURE, its never really going to be that interesting, but I guess for some people, maybe someone who is a bit slow-witted (the larger portion of the internet, in other words) or maybe if people are bored, or want to get to know people a little better, or maybe just people who want to feel better about their own problems by listening to other peoples. Like a soap opera but good.

Anyway, the point is, I love to blog, and I love to read other peoples blogs. Its something to get away to, to look forward to, a release from aloneness and from the people who you might not want to open up to. Your own little post-it note on the billboard of the world.

Good, so with that over, I will begin to ramble on about shit that makes no sense or is pointless for a length of time which is slightly longer than everyone elses, just because I'm a competitive little bitch like that.

I guess something which is new is a strong urge to know about everything nerdy. Before, I will be honest, I enjoyed the idea of superhero films, but I never really watched them much, or took any kind of active interest in the genre. But these days thats changed quite a lot. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it was something to do with last years incredible superhero-summer, where they released some great superhero flicks, maybe even the most in one summer EVER?

Whatever, I enjoyed it, and then WATCHMEN comes out, and I think 'okay this is probably something I'd be interested in', so I research it, and I was right. I had heard of Watchmen before now, in fact I almost bought it way back when, then again when the re-print it came into stores whenever that was, maybe '08? And on Film4 they seem to have some kind of nerdfest going on, which I have been tuning into quite a bit.

Well then I got thinking, what is the fascination with heroes? I mean, thinking about it, its escapism isn't it, but I mean, why the balls do I enjoy watching the same generic hero film structure over and over? Ordinary guy, maybe he gets bullied at school, something happens with radiation, he gets superpowers, he beats the crap outta a bunch of people and gets the girl of his dreams.

I don't actually know, so don't expect a solution from me, but if YOU know, then please, feel free.

I also got thinking about why it hasn't happened yet. Like, why haven't people taken shit into their own hands if they like the idea of it so much. Although thinking a little further, the people who enjoy superhero flicks are pasty nerds who wouldn't know sunlight from a bowl of fruit.

So thats why.

In conclusion, I don't know what's wrong with the world. Nothing really. But maybe it'd be a little more awesome if there were some heroes in it, know what I'm saying?
