This thread keeps reminding me of that Bob Seger song........

The world runs off money, even for those with a warped sense of what the world is.

I truly feel all jewlery is a waste of money.

Superman...

I. Hate. Superman.
He is the most boring, overpowered super hero that, on paper, sounds like two arguing five year old's made up.

"He has super strength, certain solar radiation makes him even stronger, he can shoot lasers, breath ice, go so fast he can go back in time or make the Earth spin different, oh man, he is so cool, and he has NO weaknesses!"
"C'moooon, that's not fair, he has to weak against something!"
"Fine! He weaks against.........this green rock, but, but, it's SO rare and hard to find that barely anyone will ever be able to use it one him"

At least some of his villains are cool, like Blight, Lobo, and Zod.

I often feel the same way about Batman. 

Oh, he's a hansom, multi-gazillionaire, that knows, 187 types of martial arts and is the most skilled person in every possible skill ever and he can take down any superhero because he's smarter than anybody and already has weapons for anything he could possible need and he's this cool brooding loner that doesn't trust anyone, and has 15 different sidekicks that look up to him and he's just soooooo realistic too!

Don't get me wrong, I do like Batman, but I like Batman when they acknowledge that he's not the best at everything in the world and when they don't take him too seriously.

First rule is, 'The laws of Germany'
Second rule is, 'Be nice to mommy'
Third rule is, 'Don't talk to commies'

Not sure whos grain this rubs, but...

Dinosaur news media. When they omit things you have some knowledge of, and refuse to admit they have a bias, I take what they say with a bag of salt.

And all politicians. Chuck 'em all out!

I just watched "Eraserhead" for the first time today. I found it to be interminable and boring. Lynch seemed to be trying waaaaaaay too hard to just be strange. I love unusual movies, but I just can't get into Lynch movies.
