The good news is that it looks like they are finally going to make a movie out of the comic. The bad news is that Hex will apparently be played by Thomas Jane, he of “Punisher” fame. I didn’t mind Jane as The Punisher but…I don’t see him as Hex. Too pretty, I think. Also, the Punisher movie pretty much sucked.

Whenever new hero movies come out, I’m always tempted to cast the movie in my head. Two people I see as better Hex material: Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean. They are a little more ruggedly unkempt than Jane and both have the acting chops to do the job.

Any comic book fans out there care to debate?

Personally, I chortled.

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya’.

From Kiva:

You can go to Kiva’s website and lend to someone in the developing world who needs a loan for their business – like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent – and you get updates letting you know how the entrepreneur is going. The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money back – and Kiva’s loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is being handled responsibly.

I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named Fasat Akinrinade in Nigeria. They still need another $100.00 to complete their loan request of $450.00 (you can loan as little as $25.00!). Help me get this entrepreneur off the ground by clicking on the link below to make a loan to Fasat Akinrinade too:

Make a Loan to Fasat

It’s finally easy to actually do something about poverty – using Kiva I know exactly who my money is loaned to and what they’re using it for. And most of all, I know that I’m helping them build a sustainable business that will provide income to feed, clothe, house and educate their family long after my loan is paid back.

Join me in changing the world – one loan at a time.

Thanks!

“… it all began at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center in November of the year 2000. Scientists modified a harmless virus with jellyfish genes and introduced it into the embryos of Rhesus monkeys, which sure beat the old-fashioned way of making a Jellyfish Monkey–furiously masturbating a jellyfish directly over a spread eagle monkey. “
