I want a special power...

As I mentioned previously, The Wife and I saw The Incredibles last night. Hilarious... you all really need to go see it. The animation was good; nothing groundbreaking in my opinion, but it employed a very catching style that I quite liked. The real strength of the movie was in the writing, characters, and humor. I also enjoyed the fact that while a kid could probably enjoy it, it was definitely created with adults in mind. It will be a must-have for me when it come out on DVD.

A short review, I know... the bottom line is you need to go and see it for yourself.

As to my superpower? Teleportation. Hands down. I am *always* late, and I am nothing if not pragmatic. However, after having been in the theater last night with a bunch of early teens, I close second would have to be telepathy... that way I would have been able to make mental contact with the boys and give them a message something like:

"Look, I know those hormones are causing you to grow hair on your face, armpits, and, secondarily, on your palms. And I know that making jokes during the movie and being a little disruptive is your attempt to show your brace-face dates that you are cool. However, you aren't going to look very cool when I have you across my knee paddling your bare ass to a deep red subsequent to your failure to STFU. Understood?"
