Hunter -- All in all, there is no all, there is no there, there is no is.
Dude, really, it can't be that bad. It has Jessica Alba playing a blonde girl.
My wife Netflixed the original Fantastic Four, and said she enjoyed it, and we talked about how all the bad reviews had lowered expectations so much that it was hard not to enjoy the movie.
Basically, so long as Fantastic Four 1 wasn't four hours of Michael Chiklis trying to pick his nose through a rubber suit, it would have beaten the expectations people had for it. I get the feeling part II may be the same way.
And I'm thinking Hunter might need some rest. The other week he went to Pirates of the Caribbean III and couldn't stop gushing about how much fun it was.
Stay with us, Hunter ... Stay With Us.
On another note:
Anyone else getting bored with news sites putting so many links in their copy that it screws up the flow? Something everyone learned in graphics school: Underlining and putting copy in a different color is the same as all-caps and exclamation points. In Hunter's review, the Post puts in links in to JOHN WAYNE!, ENGLAND! and IOWA! among others. It's the reading equivalent of driving down a street and seeing a major accident every five seconds. Honestly, Mr. Washington Post, I can google or dog pile. I don't need the help.
*Sorry about the formatting, but I can't figure it out and I need to get to work.

Perhaps one of the reasons that you are seeing so many underlines and things that appear to be links is because of an advertising scheme many sites are participating in. This is how it works: Say the word "Ford" is in a piece of copy. The reader may run a mouse over it and an ad for a Ford F-150 at Joe Bob's dealership will pop up. The scheme falls down when the story isn't about cars but a dead U.S. president. Think of the comic potential.
Yeah, if you're talking about Vibrant Media Intellitxt horse-shit, it can be turned off. Just hover over one of their horse-shit links and when the box comes up, select the question mark towards the upper right-hand corner. At the bottom of the page that comes up.........well crap. it used to be disable-able, but I can't seem to find it now.
Ok, found it. At the bottom of the page after clickin on the the question mark, the bottom has a "disable [this horse-shit]" link.
