Today's News: Kick-Ass 2 delayed

Not much time this weekend, since I'm busy writing another review and I'm listing my extensive second collection of Jurassic Park action figures up for sale to make room for more plastic dinosaur toys normal people don't have any need for, but I just have to make time for this little bit of movie news, since I already posted it on MovieScene yesterday:

There's all not much to add to this. It makes sense for a studio to move a movie to a different date to keep it from getting heavy competition at the box office and thus loosing some of that precious money. In fact, the same thing has just happened to The Hobbit: There and Back Again apparently, which has been moved from summer 2014 to December 2013 (where it belonged anyway, for tradition's sake) so it won't have to butt heads with the overly star studded X-Men: Days of Future Past. In the case of Kick-Ass 2, the titular character doesn't have to be kept from living up to his name (again) for that long, considering there's only a two-month delay. That is, in the United States at least; chances are we have to wait a bit longer in the Netherlands, as is usual unfortunately. Oh well, as the Dutch say: 'voorpret is dubbele pret'. As long as the movie is good, I reckon there won't be that much complaining. Especially if good results at the box office increase the chances of a (hopefully equally appealing) third installment. Hit-Girl is still present and this time she has a motor cycle: what could possibly go wrong?!
