The only interesting thing that caught my attention at the Oscars was Philippe Petit's balancing the statue on his nose. Aside from that, the action montage was pretty cool. That was my inspiration to PPV Edward Norton's Hulk last night. I liked Ang Lee's better.
Norton's David Banner in this movie sets up the franchise perfectly, and for a throwaway prequel to something Marvel obviously has up its sleeves, this is the movie it was supposed to be. But you know, no matter how much emotion and great acting you put behind comic book characters, they're still comic book characters.
Quite frankly, I think America has lost its ability in this moment of the zeitgeist to care a damn for comic book heroes - not even of the X-Men variety. Watchmen is right on time and the voice of Rorschach will have our ears burning. I feel guilty for even having bothered to watch.
