The action scenes were just as improbable and just as awesome. Though, we didn't see the pig this time.

So, just got back from seeing RED2. It was very entertaining, funny and exciting. A bit predictable in places, I can think of a couple of things that would've fixed that, but hey, it's a Bruce Willis action flick. Not quite as good as the original, but wasn't a carbon copy with the same jokes as the first, which was nice. Worth paying the money to go see in the theater.

I think Sledge is secretly gluing hair to himself to perpetuate the fuzzy rumor.

Ran across these, and so many good memories. Thought I'd share for those that grew up with these shows.

So, this was a movie-heavy weekend. Thought I'd share my impressions of them.
Man of Steel: Excellent reboot. And it is a reboot/retelling of the Superman story, with some changes. The flashbacks were a little disconnecting at times, but they didn't break the storyline, which was good. General Zod was VERY well done, it's nice to see them actually give the villian proper motivation and character instead of being the cackling evil maniacal baddie. Defiantly worth seeing, another superhero movie done well. And honestly, as much as I loved Christopher Reeve as Superman, Henry Cavill does a very good job and I think they've finally hit on an actor that can bring Superman out of Reeve's shadow and carry it forward.
The Great Gatsby: went to see this with parents-in-law for Father's Day. It's not my kind of movie, but I don't regret seeing it. Leonardo did an excellent job, and the cinemtagrophy was beautiful! Worth seeing once, not really going to see it again.
This is the End: Comedians trying to survive the apocolypse! Honestly, not really my kind of comedy, but there was a lot there I enjoyed and the special effects were pretty damn good. I think Pinapple Express was a better movie, but I was definatly entertained, so if you're into that kind of humor, you'll probally enjoy it.

This is all DX's fault. If he hadn't revived this one, I would feel compelled to post this one HSpoon showed me.

And while it's not anime, still a classic.

Prometheus was just a confused movie. I can't remember if it started as a prequel to Alien or was something else and they tried to turn it into that, but it was just a mess. They tried to take it seriously, and it failed. This, however, looks to be a silly summer action flick that they know won't be the best story, but they'll have fun with it anyways. That I can get behind!

Ah yes, Big Stompy Robots, The Movie. Honestly, I don't expect a stellar story, well-rounded characters, or award winning acting. But damn if I'm going to miss seeing mecha vs. aliens on the big screen!

daaaaammmmm!
 

I thought this was pretty cool. Chris Hadfield is an astronaut up in the ISS, and he's been posting pictures on Twitter that he takes up there (which is worth checking out). Someone wanted to know what happens when you wring out a wet towel in zero-g. Here's what happens:

Science, bitches!

Aw man, when I saw the title I thought it was about the series!

I wasn't trying to defend them. They made the wrong choice, plain and simple. But what I'm saying is that it's also the parent's and community's fault as well. I hear teen and younger boys joking about raping someone and laugh because they haven't put that connection together yet, and the parents don't bother to correct them. If they're going online looking for porn (and lets face it, most of them are), porn with the women getting 'raped' end with the woman having a good time, so they have a very skewed view of sex and what is right and wrong in that regard. And the parents are 'too busy' or just plain uncomfortable talking about sex with their kids, so they're left on their own to figure out what they should do. We don't just need education for our kids; a lot of parents should be educated as well.

Still, that's about half of normal time served for rape. Persionally, I think the sentance for rape should be much higher.
