aeon, i'm sorry.

i had you mistaken for the other - or one of several - mid-90s mtv cult cartoon weirdness, the Giant Purple Blob Named Maxx, because i always far preferred him. your boobs are just too funky, your waist too overemphasized. i didn't like all the big black contours in your animation. and while i'm sure you'll make a lovely halloween costume, and i'm not quite sure whether or not i'm hoping you die at the end of the movie (because they can always make another sequel), and i almost want to see the movie just for the gymnastics and the architecture, ...

*sigh* the new Potter flick goes in a different direction. spoiler: understandingly, they had to leave a lot out. The dementors are entirely missing, for some reason. but hermione flirts with harry far too much. and Crouch Jr is not a snake, and i do not know why he is playing with his tongue like one. lucius malfoy is much prettier when he is not smiling, which is disappointing. oh, and, to the Person or People Responsible for the New Hero Movie Trailer: superman is not jesus, and your audience would probably appreciate it if you did not confuse the two. These are seperate, well-defined mythologies. The christians will be pissed if you make their god come from Krypton. The nerds will be annoyed if you mix their idol up with religion. Come on, now. and why do i think they are conflating superman with jesus? When you are advertising a Superman movie, and you say in the trailer they only need the light to guide them, and so i sent you, my only son, instead of saying A desperate geologist put his baby boy in an escape pod because his planet was going to explode, you make me not want to go to the movies. Not that i'd see it anyway. besides, christianity hits theatres with a massive talking lion in two weeks, and that'll be more than plenty. it's so freaking pervasive.

it's not even thanksgiving and four houses on our block have christmas lights - very clearly christmas lights, red and green and no turkeys or pilgrims - up already. I ask you ...
