Comic books are the movies of the time. There are so many comic characters and superheroes now being made into Hollywood fares. Not that I mind actually. In fact, I rather enjoy them.
I wonder what it says about us as a society. Are we in need of heroes? Are we hoping someone will fly in and save the day? I think in some ways we are that and more. We want to believe in Good again. We want to believe there are those out there all about helping others and doing the “right thing.”
The last couple I’ve seen are The Incredible Hulk and Hancock. Both Edward Norton and Will Smith are enjoyable any day of the week, so I most certainly enjoyed both movies.
I’ve been posting small, quick reviews on the ciao site.
Here’s my list so far:

And since I am snowed in today up here in Colorado -I believe the correct term is White Out, my first- it’s probably going to be a movie day (and hot chocolate). Ha, ha.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on this blog. I think I just had to take a break -too many sites and things to keep up with.
Anyway, lately I’ve been coming back to squidoo lenses I had made and upgrading them a bit with more information, images, fun gear, etc.
The two I’ve worked on so far are:
1- scooters! I got one earlier this year and have been riding it off and on depending on weather. It’s great fun and inspired me to go back and upgrade this lens a bit.

2- Corto Maltese. I’m a great fan of European comics and Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese adventures are extremely famous all over the world. I’m working on listing the albums for now. I’ve added a few images too for a better visual experience. Next will be some historical context for each album.

Take a minute to go through these squidoo lenses. I’m putting a lot of work into them and rather enjoy the way they’re coming out. Hope you do to.
