Daredevil in words and film

The other day in Evansvill I picked up, amoung other things, a novelization of the movie Daredevil, and since I just finshed reading that and watching the movie.  I have a few things to say.  The first is to see the movie before reading the book, because the book just kicks the movies ass.  

Yeah, the story is action/adventure, which is better visualized than written.  But the book is like the movie with a whole bunch of cut scenes, so it flows a lot better and you see what motivates the charecters. 

And quite a few scenes were cut out and changed because of one subplot that got cut.

( Just one murder... )

Oh, and Ben Urdic is one of my favorite reporters ever.

The other movie I watched was Love Me or Leave Me.  It's about a singer and her manager/husbend that controls just about her every step to make her wildly sucessful.  And when she leaves him, he shoots her friend because he thought that she left him for her friend, which wasn't true.  But she still bails him out because she still owes him just about everything.  It's a lot better than it sounds.  Not a whole lot better, but a little better.

I did a really silly thing.

I started cataloging my tapes, so I know what I have? Well, I finished my MST3K, BTVS, SSMR, and Random shows tapes. Those were easy, since most of those tapes have labels on them to begin with. So it was mostly writting down what was on what.

My Father Ted tapes are a complete disater area. Most of them don't have labels on them, they have bits of other shows on them, and I have at least two copies of each episode because I taped them once on BBC America and once on KTCA. Father Ted is a 40 minute show on a 30 minute time slot on BBC America, so I taped them off KTCA to get those shaved off minutes. This was the first program I started taping, and it really shows.

And I'm not even starting my sister's tape collection untill tomarrow, and even then it's just writting down what episode tittles are on them. I have to ration them out for a very long time, because I might get only a few more episodes.

But after I'm done: Father Ted marathon!
