So I took the Fabulous Robyn to see Kick-Ass this afternoon.
You’ve probably heard a lot about this movie. I am here to tell you this:
It’s better than that.
As the final credits rolled, the Fabulous Robyn turned to me and said, “Oh. My. God. I think that just became my favorite movie. Ever.”
My response was an awe-struck “Holy shit . . .”
This film, I will tell you, was made–and made well–for us. For exactly us, as in you and me. The kind of people who like my books, and the kind of person who writes them.
Most of you will have seen Galaxy Quest, a few years back, a combination satirization and celebration of everything geeks loved about Star Trek.
Imagine with me a moment . . .
Imagine what Galaxy Quest might have been if I wrote it. And did the stunt choreography. And it starred Clint Eastwood, and included a sequence where Clint brutally stomps Steven Seagal to death. Are you with me, here?
I won’t pretend that Kick-Ass is that good.
It’s better than that.

Nicholas Cage was surprisingly decent.
