Oh, that’s horrible.

At least now we know what the band, Hoobastank has been doing for the past five years since they have gone missing: they’ve been busy destroying the theme song from one of my favorite movies of all time.

But I got to admit, those costume are pretty sweet. Going for the animated version was a nice touch. Still, their cover is pain to my ears.

Weird?

I wonder how long it’s going to take for the people of DC Universe (or at least his friends in the Justice League, or the Batman-family) to notice Bruce Wayne’s charred corpse from Final Crisis isn’t being reanimated to a Black Lantern like every other dead person in the Blackest Night event.

If all your dead former colleagues, family members and deceased enemies in battle are coming back to life, but yet the one person who is thought to be dead from being shot pointed blank by Darkseid’s Omega Sanction isn’t, that’s got to raise a couple of eyebrows. Don’t you think?

Not a fan of the Man of Steel.

I added a new page, Daily Reads, listing all the websites I visit on a daily basis (hence the name), and I also updated my top five page with my top five favorite comic book superheroes. Yes, it was a slow day. Cut me some slack here.

Back to Square One.

I still pains me to my little geek heart that there are still people out there in the world of ours that still tries to claim that Bryan Singer’s Superman Return was a good movie. Please.

The worst justification for it is people saying “Sure, the movie overall wasn’t exactly what we wanted in a comic book movie, but there were still some parts that were good”.  I’m sorry, but that doesn’t cut it. It doesn’t work that way. It would be like me saying “Sure, the ice cream sundae was complete shit, but at least the cherry on top was good, right?”. No. Shit is still shit, regardless of the way anyone cuts it.

“Celestial Navigation” very good.

Two thing are bound to guarantee I will shed a tear:

1) Watching any good episode of the television show, The West Wing. (Every season except five and the some parts of six).

2) Or during the time I’m watching this awesome episode, it hits me hard that some moron in the higher ups in NBC thought it would be in their best interest to cancel this show.

Tell me right now – besides ER – where in the current NBC prime time line up is there a serial drama that has the same caliber, heart, interesting plot line, and the excellent cast than the West Wing.

And please don’t say Heroes because everyone knows that show has gone complete off it’s rail since the end of the first season. And they have never gotten it back.

One more semester to go.

Only in John Jay College, where the choices of choosing a class for the next semester range from signing up for one that start at 8 in the evening and if one is lucky probably gets them home before 1 am.

Or the professor of the class you need to take in order graduate has a giant superiority complex who demand every single student to bow to their every whim, and probably in the previous reincarnated life was either Joseph Stalin, or Mao Tse-Tung.

!!!!!!!!

In the minds of conservative Andy McCarthy, it’s pathetic for Republican Congressman Cao to vote for the House Health Reform Bill after getting something in return:

“Commitment from President Obama that he would work together to address the health care issues of Louisiana, including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals”

Yeah, how dare he, as a member of Congres who’s job is to work on behalf of his constituents, to demand something tangible for his support. Shame on Congressman Cao to play the “game of politics” Shame. You’re right, Andy this move is pretty pathetic.

[/sarcasm]

I don’t know about everyone but I think it’s pathetic for only one  house member out of the entire Republican Party actually voted “aye” for the Health Care Reform Bill. While the majority of the House Republicans voted no for two reasons:

  1. Simply to deny President Obama a victory in some area in his agenda. (not political at all)
  2. And in the belief of whatever obviously blatant lie that the enactment of the public option is the the slippery slope decline of America into “socialism” – or communism, fascism, whatever – and the eventual killing of grandma in “death panels”.
But that’s just my opinion.
