The Munsters (2022)

 The Munsters: I'm a huge fan of this series so I was cautiously excited about the new Rob Zombie take of this classic family.  Bottom line is it was good.  Not real good.  Not great.  But good.  I really enjoyed what they did with the characters.  They are likable and add to the movie.  They are true to the original characters while Rob Zombie put his own twist on them.  Herman was my favorite.

My issues were more along the lines of the story.  It was slow in the beginning but finally picked up and then finished strong in my opinion.  Overall I think we could see more movies based on these characters.  With a better story these characters could really shine.  I do recommend the movie but I'm sure there'll be mixed reviews. 

Cape Girardeau Comic Con

Went to the Cape Comic Con yesterday with the family as we celebrated a daughter's birthday.  This is a small comic con and really my first since the "Comic Con" name really went big.  While this was really for the daughter and the kid's enjoyment I am a big nerd so this was great for me as well.  There was plenty to look at and was overwhelming to an extent as well.  It also gave me a chance to wear my Green Lantern jersey which I've had for like 15+ years now.  I didn't purchase anything but still it was fun for me and the family.  

The highlight for me was getting a picture with Butch Patrick, AKA Eddie Munster.  I also got his autograph on a 2014 Golden Age card.  I only had a week to find a card for him to autograph.  I was really hoping for one with a still from the TV series but wasn't able to find one I liked.  Still it was great meeting him and getting to see the Munster cars which he takes around to each show.
