Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I understand why the geek community is very very very very very very psyched for this movie. I don’t see how this movie is much different from Mystery Men, however. Kick-Ass opens in the U.K. on April 2, and in the U.S. and Canada on April 16.

Yesterday, March 26, was apparently “Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.” (This is via the wonderful system that allows anyone to designate any day toward the commemoration of absolutely anything.) We’re a day late, but what the hell: What holiday would you invent, and how would you celebrate? I’d institute A Real Day Off Day, … more…
“The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don’t be a guy.” (referenced in my review of Hot Tub Time Machine, but worth repeating…)
