Random Ramblings: More On 2012 Superman... British Actors... Lex Luthor.... Wrestling Re-Runs.... Work... etc

So there's a new Superman in town and his name is Henry Cavill. A little bit disappointed about Brandon Routh not getting the role again because he was a pretty good Big Blue, but we just have to wait and see about this new hairy-chested, heavily bearded guy has to offer.

Here's a recent Facebook post from my friend regarding Cavill being cast as Supes:

"A Brit actor playing an American hero? pfft."

and a comment from one ComicVine forumer:

"Truth, justice and the British way". 

I understand the sarcasm, but don't forget folks that Christian "Batman" Bale is also British. And you gotta admit, UK has produced some of the finest actors and actresses in recent memory.

By the way a little bit of factoid: Andrew "The New Spiderman" Garfield is also part Brit. You gotta love this little "British invasion" that we got here - if we can call it like that.

Still on Superman 2012. I just realized that Bryan Singer's 2006 Superman Returns didn't have a single scene where the Man of Steel actually punches something. Don't believe me? Watch the whole movie again. I have seen it multiple times already and there is definitely none.  Probably one of the biggest reasons why the movie wasn't that big of a deal. Hopefully Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder would change that and give us the chance to finally see our hero beat the hell out of something/someone with rapid-fast punching. That would be AWESOME.

And please, NO LEX LUTHOR.  We have seen the bald guy as the villain since 1978 and aren't we tired already? I know I am. I really think that this is the time for them to pick a different character in Superman's rogues gallery. It could be a robot, one of the Fourth World Gods, or even an alien. Doesn't matter as long as its not Luthor. Trust me, it will work wonders.

Its one of  the main reasons why the most recent Superman: Earth One comic book clicked. It had an all original alien villain that looked like The Crow/Sting (the wrestler) flying all over the place destroying Earth as our hesitant Man of Steel watches in horror. And it was just a refreshing thing to see! It may not have been the best villain in Superman lore, but trust me, that helped the comic book sell to the new audience in more ways than one. Team Nolan can take a thing or two from that.

Been watching wrestling (mainly WWF and WCW) re runs on Youtube since last year. Why? Because all the stuff that I see on TV now are all crap. Crappy storylines and horrible promos. Boring shows. Hell, it had fallen into disgrace already in my opinion. 

I miss the good ol days of pro wrestling during the early 90's to the beginning of the 2000s. It was a great time to be a wrestling fan. Everything was worth your every dime. Now, you pay for crap. 

Thank God that we have the internet and YT to relieve all the great memories.

------------------

Batman XXX: A Porn Parody is fantastic! Cool costumes, good production values and great sex. Lexi Belle and Tori Black had amazing performances as always and man, I won't tell you any of the tawdry details but you should definitely pick this one up and watch it with your girlfriend (or boyfriend if you are a girl)! Woohoo!!!

The month of January is closing, February is quickly dawning on us, and it was a very very slow start for the computer business. In turn, I've got nothing to do at the office except to watch videos, surf the internet and update my blog. Yep, that's right. I'm being paid to do almost nothing at work. Hah, how do you like that?

Random Ramblings: Golden Globes...The Walking Dead.., Car Dealers... Vigilantes... Allergies.. and Strange Weather

Its the 2nd week of the "allergic hell" that I'm into but I'm feeling better now, less itches, and the rashes are no longer bothering me that much. All it took was avoiding dairy products, egg, fish, chicken and foods of that nature because it triggers my body's allergic reaction. And thank goodness for Celestamine.  It really helped. But I wished that it had more than just 2mg.

------------------------------

The Golden Globes 2011. Crap, that High School Musical-copycat Glee stole the show. And I don't need to tell you that I don't like that freaking TV show, do I?

How about The Walking Dead walking away with nothing? Come on, this is one of the best zombie-drama flick we have ever seen since George Romero launched The Night of the Living Dead years ago and it doesn't get trophies? Ugh.

------------------------------

Killers posing as car buyers Car dealers getting butchered one by one. 3 incidents have already been recorded, same type of death - shot in the head, then burned until the lifeless body is unrecognizable. The cars? Not even touched.  It makes me sick to my stomach. How could these guys take lives like that - like they were killing some animal.

I just texted one of my buddies who happens to be in the car dealing business to keep safe. Its better to spread the word.

Maybe we need vigilantes more than ever now. Yeah, like Batman and The Punisher. The world is becoming practically unsafe by the day.

------------------------------

There are floods all over the world - from the Philippine provinces, up to our neighbors in Australia, and even up to the most deserted lands in Saudi Arabia. It seems like there is just so much water right now. Isn't it strange? Is this a clear evidence of "global warming" taking shape?

Mother Nature strikes and its like Noah's Ark all over again. 

Random Ramblings: Rashes, Ants, and More...

I wish I could by the Ant-Man so I could talk to the ants in our house and tell them not to bite me when I'm sleeping. My rashes were caused by ant-bites that I meticulously scratched like a dog which led to... more rashes and more rashes.. - you get the point. Anyway, I'm a little bit fine now and the patches are no longer that itchy, though I only slept for just 3 hours today because of another "itch-attack". I feel like I'm on  weed or something. Damn, I need to contact Hank Pym right now and maybe find a way to befriend these little guys to make them stop treating me like chocolate. 

On the other hand...

After 3 years of working together for 9 hours every single day (except for weekends of course, duh) , my boss finally resigned and left the company. She was a real asset to the business and one of the most hardworking people I ever met.. She was my mentor, who taught me a lot of things professionally and I will sure miss her. You just don't forget people you spent time with for quite a long time even though you don't talk a whole lot personally. Glad there's Facebook though - anyone is one click away. 

And speaking of Facebook - to those who believed in that stupid rumor that Mark Zuckerberg's multi-billion dollar company is closing, I only got one thing to say... 

oh, change of plans: let's make Batman do the talking shall we?

Yup.
