Ticket Box

Last night it was Daredevil. Oy, what a drag! I don't know what I expected from a low-rent director, but this was worse than I imagined it to be. I knew this movie was bad the moment the girl (you know, this is one of those "boy meets girl" movies) dies... and I didn't care! Not a bit! I mean, it didn't make me angry, sad or anything more kinky—which should worry everyone involved. Nothing.

The only thing I enjoyed in this movie are the cameos and the name dropping. Look out for a billboard announcing a box match against Marvel's John Romita! Watch as lawyer Matt Murdock put the heat in court on a rapist named after comic book artist Joe Quesada! Watch young Matt Murdock save an absentminded Stan Lee from being run over by a bus! See Frank Miller, comic book writer extraordinaire, as a victim of the movie's villain! And isn't that Kevin Smith in the morgue scene?

If those names mean nothing to you, this movie won't either. Believe me, I know who they are, and that was barely worth the price of admission.

Driver 8 goes foodie: Quite simple, really. First, I began with a box of yellow rice. Boiled water, added one tablespoon of margarine and the rice packet. Let boil for a minute, then reduced to low heat and let simmer until the water dried. Next, a can of refried beans. Opened the can, put beans on a pan on medium heat, stirred until hot, lowered the heat and sprinkled some Monterey Jack cheese on top to melt. Finally, the beef. After marinating on a mixture of orange juice, olive oil and spices, put on a large pan on medium heat. Let beef brown, then lowered the heat and added vegetables (chopped onions and green and red peppers). Let simmer for a while, making sure vegetables remain al dente. Serve all together in a plate with a tortillero of hot tortillas on the side. What we got?

Ha! This food business doesn't seem that tough.
