Teen Titans Spotlight on...

Keeping with the theme of today's movie, a makeover for the blog is in the works.  As discussed yesterday, I"m gonna throw out some ideas, if you like any in the coming days, speak up.  If you don't like it, speak up.  Not all of these are fully formed or well thought out, but we'll see what sticks.

Idea #1

Comic Spotlight of the Day:
Much like the movie of the day, I'll pick a random issue from my large comic collection, read it and reflect on it.  I can include scans of pages, put in historical perspectives and some background info on the creators, if I can find anything interesting.

I like this one because I'll never run out of issues and there usually is something relevant to discuss even if the comic sucks, the time period it was printed or the creators can often bring a level of discussion to the table. 

I think there'd be some leg work with this, scanning pages and researching.  I don't know if that would be sustainable on a daily basis.  Maybe this becomes a weekly feature?

MotD: The Breakfast Club

Again, like yesterday, nothing I'm gonna say here can possibly be new or exciting.  Very enjoyable, it felt very reminiscent of a stageplay.  Five characters thrust in a room where the audience only knows what we're shown and their manner of dress forces us into the stereotypes the director wants us to envision.  Smart movie, I'm not sure I bought the romances that blossomed here, but I did buy the personality awakenings.  Except maybe Ally Sheedy and AM Hall.  Sheedy just is happy to become a princess type?  I don't know if mental issues are solved by a makeover.  The AM Hall stuff with a gun stood out because of his punishment.  DETENTION for bringing a gun to school  Say that out loud.  Unfortunately that's a crazy notion these days.
