Afternoon at the Movies: “The Incredible Hulk”
Z and I decided to double up on our movie going experience this weekend and go check out the Hulk film Sunday afternoon. I figured anything had to be better than “The Happening” and I was right. I was pleasantly surprised. It had enough action and suspense to keep my attention so that was a plus. I also discovered that the man that plays Bruce/Hulk in the movie, Edward Norton, is pretty fly for a white guy. As of June 15, 2008, he is my new white man crush. It was Kevin Spacey for the longest after seeing him doing bench presses in the garage with his shirt off in “American Beauty” but Kevin has gotten old and it’s time for his replacement so Edward is it. I know it may seem like I have weird taste but these guys make me swoon. You’ll just have to see what I mean, ‘cause dude looks sessy with his shirt off. What can I say? I’m weak for the flesh!! Lol
I won’t spoil it for those that have not seen it but the movie is basically about the military trying to track Bruce Banner down. He’s been in hiding five years and is finally discovered after he cuts himself and some of his blood gets into a soda at the plant he is working at. The person drinking the soda with his blood dies or something and so Bruce Banner is discovered. Really random I know but hey, it’s the movies. From there on out, there’s just a lot of running, shooting, and him going back and forth from Bruce to the Hulk. Speaking of Bruce, the original man that played him on the show makes a cameo (and he’s still just as beefy lookin as he was back in the day), as does Sam Lee (the guy that originated Marvel Comics). Also making a brief appearance is Michael Williams, aka Omar Little from “The Wire”. Okay, so it was more like an extra’s part as you just see him on the side walk during one of the fight scenes but hey I’ll take it. I miss seeing him on the small screen.
All in all, it’s a pretty good movie. AR Gal rates this one: I’m glad I got off my couch.

I see we had the same idea this weekend just on different days and in different order.
Sam is actually Stan. LOL
I could've done without the Ed Norton shower scene. Why you gotta hurt Kevin's feelings like that? At least let him be your older white man crush.
LOL @ your ratings. I like them.
It sure is Stan! lol What was I thinking??!!
Kevin's gettin kinda wrinkly so I dunno. Maybe if I watch "American Beauty" a few more times it will coerce me to change my mind. lol
Thanks, I'm glad you do! lol
Ewww..Kevin Spacey. Lol His chest has no form. But I love American Beauty.
I plan to see Hulk this weekend.
Got here by accident, but I guess I was meant to come by as we BOTH did reviews on the Hulk. In the past I got my ass kicked for giving the small spoilers you gave, so I created a spoilerless review. Glad that you liked it because it definitely rocked! I saw 2 movies this weekend too. The other was Sex and the City. My wife and I love that show! By the way, the original man you are referring to that portrayed the Hulk back in the day was Lou Ferrigno. Way to go AR Gal.
Girl yes Kevin Spacey! He was doing it in that movie, lol.
Hey Luke! Yes Lou Ferrigno! I was too lazy to go look up his name. lol Thanks!
thanks for the review. my kids want to see this and after spe.ed rac.er, i was just dreading it. we tried to watch the 03 version on sci.fi. last night and it was just soooo boring. after your review,i think the new version will be ok. and ednorton - yep sessy in a woodyharrelson kind of way.
