Supers

Why are there so many current and upcoming movies about super-hero types?  Ironman, Wanted, The Dark Knight, Hancock, Speed Racer, and another re-make of The Incredible Hulk to name a few.   I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering about the zeitgeist, you know, getting a little one-track-minded, or maybe someone hijacking the zeitgeist with these escapist fantasies, to - I don’t know - distract us from something.

And now I’m going to go soak my head in tomato soup as punishment for using the word ‘zeitgeist’ in a quasi-serious manner.
