The Onion gears up for The Hulk! (sorta)

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Here's the News in Brief article from this week's dispatch:

Friend Gearing Up To Hate The Hulk
EL PASO, TX—For the past three weeks, comic-book aficionado Derek Linden, 23, has been gearing up to hate Universal Pictures' The Hulk, which opens June 13. "Maybe it'll be good, but I'm bracing for the worst," Linden told friend Paul Comello Monday. "The CGI makes him look like Shrek. And even though The Hulk has the ability to leap long distances, in the trailer it looks like he's flying, which he can't do. And I won't even get into how, in the Hulk origin story, he was gray, not green." Linden said he also has "grave doubts" about Jennifer Connelly's ability to convincingly portray Betty Ross.

Hopefully "Derek" is in the minority with these feelings. :p

Yeah, I meant the overall view. The nitpicking about Jennifer Connelly was funny. :) I'm wary of CGI, too, actually. I thought "oh no..." when I first heard Hulk was going to be computer generated! It can look great, but is often disappointing when emulating a living being. I'll reserve judgment for when I see the movie, of course. In the meantime, I'll continue to ignore all the trailers for it, as I like to keep myself in the dark. ;)

I always get a kick out of how people say

"Gee, that ten foot tall green-skinned guy just doesn't look very realistic"

If the Hulk was the size of a human bodybuilder than he wuldn't be the Hulk, he would be Mr Hyde.
