I was away for the weekend, but am back to work. I will post some thoughts on the RBC fiasco, as well as a review of SATCTM later today. I appreciate the shout-out to me on Saturday, and your presence at the demonstration. (Wish I could have been there--I was in a place I will call Rolorado Rings, although not to protest anything like Roucus Ron Ruh Ramily, just for a little summer fun.) Hi, Roxie!

And since Philadelphia was officially designated a couple of summers back as New York's "Sixth Borough," I guess that's relevant here. I seem to remember that Terry B. was trashed for years as a dumb and immobile quarterback before they began winning titles in Smoketown, so the basic trajectory/story arc there was down and then up and then over...

That said, I've yet to read a review of the movie that actually addresses the plot or the characters. These reviewers seem to think that the fearsome 4 are no longer characters we can relate too, but were they ever? I thought the fantasy aspect was the whole point of the show. If I wanted reality TV, there's plenty to chose from... I have to admit, I’ve yet to read a review of the movie that isn’t completely condemnatory.
