Do you know what a writer (or…well…this writer) gets to do when she finishes 20,000 words (see chart below)?
She gets to go see a movie.
What does she see (and by “she” I mean me)? The Hulk.
Who does she see it with? Jennifer Lynn Barnes because Jen just finished an entire book and she deserves to get to see A LOT of movies.
Why do they choose THE HULK? Because the first writer (that’s me) loves Edward Norton, and the other writer (that’s Jen) loves comic books.
Well, all I can really say is that there is a lot of shirtless Edward Nortonness (so I got my money’s worth.)
There were also very long stretches of time when people were shooting at Bruce Banner who, when shot at, turns into a big ugly guy who is (evidently) bulletproof.
How do they respond to that?
By shooting some more.
This was a little perplexing to both Jen and me (and, by the way, it is Jen and Me and not Jen and I in this case since you wouldn’t say “it was perplexing to I”. No real point to this except that is my number one grammatical pet peeve since it’s the grammatical pet peeve that seems to stem from pretension. And ignorance. My least-favorite combination.)
Jen and I would have just waited until The Hulk stopped being Hulky and shot him then. Or, we would have taken all the scientific data and blood that Bruce Banner left behind to make more Hulks instead of shooting the (bulletproof) Hulk. A lot.
But that’s just us.
Still…shirtless Edward Norton? Worth eight bucks.
Okay.
To bed.
