Fantastic Four

Movies

Saw Fantastic Four tonight. It’s a good adaption of a comic book. Good movie if you want to be mindlessly entertained. Great visual effects! Plot was pretty good, didn’t notice any glaring inconsistencies. Sue Storm is of course very easy on the eyes.

After it was over, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "We could have brought Rachel (9 years old) to see this." There was no bad language, no sex, just a lot of things blowing up. Some sexual inuendo, like the line "Is is true he can make any part of his anatomy expand?"

Fined Furniture

South Carolina

Adults in Anderson, S.C., are still allowed to sit on their front porches, but if Bea Thompson, the mayor pro tem, gets her way, the city will soon be able to fine homeowners who rock there in ugly chairs or display anything not specified as suitably attractive by local lawmakers. A July 16 report by WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C., quotes Ms. Thompson saying that residents should have “appropriate porch furniture.” Aunt Bee was never so bossy.

The idiocy of this kind of regulation is so blatantly obvious, it doesn’t need further comment.
