The other night, Akemi and I checked out one of the buzziest Taiwanese restaurants in Vancouver, the well-reviewed, foodie favorite: Kalvin's Szechuan Restaurant.

Watching The Spirit be like being trapped in elevator wit chatty, pompous - albeit well-dressed - douchebag suffering from explosive diarrhea. For 90+ excruciating minutes.

While watching Shark Boy and Lava Girl, monster reminded of great children's movies like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Toy Story, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - and how very crap Shark Boy and Lava Girl be in comparison.
