Tonight, I am off to see Robert Downey Jr. tackle the role of Sherlock Holmes. Based on the trailers I’ve seen, it looks like a decent flick, but Downey seems to essentially be doing Tony Stark with an English accent. Not that it’s an entirely bad thing; I just am a little leery of the “actioning-up” of this particular character. But we shall see, I had reservations about Avatar and that ended up being fantastic.
However, there is a dark side to the magical world that Jim Cameron and his crew have created. Oh yes my friends, apparently after seeing Avatar people are actually becoming depressed by the fact they will never live on Pandora and have big blue-skinned friends. This has become such a problem, that this thread has sprung up on the Avatar forums page.
This is one of those times when I can’t tell if the Internet is playing a joke on me.
(My favourite response is the one from yunnydanis who claims to be working on an Avatar sequel to help get through this ordeal.)
How, I say how are Jamie and I supposed to continue creating funny and exciting comic strips, when the internet keeps putting out hilarious and ridiculous things like this? I mean, we have strips that include having coffee with squids, time travel, and fighting cars and yet we have not achieved the level of ludicrous that the Internet seems to churn out every day.
Well friends, I take a solemn vow here, in front of all of you and the rest of the world: We at No Reason will not rest until we have beaten the Internet. It will take time, patience, effort, and a whole lot of stupid, but we will one day we will reclaim our rightful place atop the Mountain of Nonsense.
This I swear.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go get ready for my Na’avian Throat Singing class.
