Man of Steel, Gaming, less allergies, too much work

You mean the one Superman doesn't wear the suit, doesn't fly and fights with a giant spider? Yeah, good luck with that. Wink

We're not arguing. We're just having a discussion. I don't want to be a shmuck and simply declare "OMFG, YOU'RE WRONG!!!" with someone that disagrees with me. That's not why I blogged about it. I do think the different interpretations are fascinating, though. On that note...

Supes was clearly shaken up when he embraces Lois after his fight with Zod. At the end, clearly some time had passed and he's been able to move on but I do think the events here will come back to haunt him just like they did for Batman with The Dark Knight Trilogy. The poor guy had never used his powers in a fight and when he has too, he's got multiple opponents as strong as he is and he's not in complete control as he will be later on. I'm not denying the amount of damage and the implied/unconfirmed loss of life; it happened and that was the logical result of a conflict that extreme between superpowered beings, only one of which wanted to protect and live among humans. You can argue that Snyder piled on the carnage way too thick but if you're fighting in populated areas, collateral damage is going to happen. I've read some reactions that accused this film and Snyder of being morally irresponsible in that regard. Nope. Bad Boys II is morally irresponsible. Entertaining movie but just disgusting all the same.

There's just no way to be neutral with this movie; you either love it or hate it. The attempted genocide was horrifying as it should have been and the choice Superman makes at the end really shattered him. Both of these events will haunt this character in future films but I think they will be things he'll learn from. In this movie, he's just starting out and everything is a trial-by-fire. I like the different direction. I think there were plenty of humorous moments and lots of heart. Oh, well.

I really want to see This Is The End as well. I forgot about that one.

Brilliant rant. Funny, vicious and oh so true.

Most probably migrated to Call of Duty in the past few years. Wouldn't surprise me.

Game Trading An Addiction or Resist

I haven't been in a Gamestop since 2007. It's a good thing there are other video-game retailer choices in my area (like Game-Xchange), otherwise I'd do everything through the Internet.

Any games that I've ever traded in the past where ones I were sure/satisified that I played through enough to never use them again or titles that I knew would be easy/cheap to buy again if I was inclined. Truth be told, I do this more with movies (and the titles I trade in are ones that I plan to upgrade to their blu-ray version).

If it's building-related, I really think it's this middle school building (for 8th grade) that seems to bring out the allergies. I don't know if its mold, it may just be ventilation problems. The intermediate building is having its former front office remodeled (to be a community clinic) and that's bringing all sorts of dust, debris and whatnot into the air. Not to mention ghastly, dead animal smells. Bleh...

Sounds like you have roughly 2 months to clean rooms then. Summer school is what it is but it can really get in the way of work which is the only thing I hate about summer work.

All due respect to these teachers but most of them are unbelievable packrats. It took me 90 minutes just to clear out one room Friday (granted, I was working by myself but still).
