mystic bicycles
One of the more interesting things swirling in the wake of the Iron Man 2 pre-release hype is the resurgence of rumors regarding the Del Toro/Gaiman Doctor Strange film collaboration. Also, while I haven’t been able to source it anywhere besides some AICN commenters, there are rumblings about this being a full-on Defenders film, with the aim of pulling the more mystical/paranormal elements of Marvel comics into the film universe.
For the record, all they have to do is tell me where the screening is, and I’ll be there. I have a serious soft-spot for Marvel third-stringers who peaked in the 70s; I’d love to see Strange and some version of the Defenders on screen. I’m sure it won’t be as delightfully weird as the 70s comics, but with Del Toro at the helm, one never knows.
I doubt we’ll see The Elf with A Gun, but you can’t do a Stephen Strange movie without showing us this place:
I’d really love these rumors to be true…

I had another nice bike ride yesterday afternoon; turns out I’m in better shape than I thought, but I still have a long way to go. The gearing on all our bikes could probably use a tune-up. I’m hoping to find a decent bike shop within spitting distance, not that I won’t be out hunting for a book covering basic maintenance in the next week or so.
