...it's been a long time since I've blogged! Well, it hasn't been that long so maybe a more accurate expression should be "Partial Cow!"
I watched Superman Returns and all I have to say is; I likes. Well, maybe that's not all I have to say. I love how it's a continuation of or in the very least an homage to the original movies of the late 70's early 80's. It was eerie how much Brandon Routh looked and talked liked Christopher Reeve. And he didn't get the role only because of that because he was really good. I also like the choice of Kate Bothworth, she's one of my girl friends. This is reminiscent when my one gf (Angelina Jollie) played my other gf (Lora Croft) in the movie of my favorite video game. Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors and Lex Luthor is one of my hero's. Not so much the older Lex of the movies, but the younger Smallville Lex with the hot cars and the conflicted personality. The opening sequence was surprising, then the movie started interesting, then it was nostalgic, then interesting again, then it was a little unrealistic, then interesting again, then it ended real well. On a scale from one to a lot I give it 984.32 stars. I want to watch it again.
I watched Nacho Libre recently as well. It started interesting, quickly got boring, got funny for a bit, got boring, saw the hot love interest, got boring, got really funny, then ended boring. The more funnier parts was when Jack Black broke character and became...Jack Black. Overall I give it 2.359 stars. I'd wait for the 7 day rental or for the previously viewed blow out sales bin.
Next I wanna watch some Tokyo Drift. Anyone up to seeing a bunch of 350 Z's and other assorted rear wheel drive cars with ridiculous paint jobs? I'm glad more car designers are developing more rear wheel drive platforms especially the entry level cars, I was never a big fan of the front wheel drive car and it sucked that only the higher end cars were available. With 30 grand Mustangs pumping out 300 horse and with drifting and street racing big with the younger buyers I knew the trend away from front drive cars would be inevitable. My very first car was a Datsun 510. It was shite brown and my brother and friends nicknamed it "duck poo". But the engine revved like a maniac, standard transmition, it had 50/50 weight distribution and it was rear wheel drive. It had all the ingrediants for for fun. Not soon after cheaper cars went to front drive, front biased, automatics. I used to drift that bad boy decades before I even knew what drifting was. I'm glad more kids will have that same experience now.
Sorry to digress, back to the cows on hand. On one hand I think wearing fur is cruel. On the other hand I don't believe wearing leather is. We eat the cows so making use of the leather is better than throwing it out. Besides I'm addicted to leather jackets and leather shoes aswell as leather car interiors. Leather furniture isn't as comfortable, but it looks nice and is easier to keep clean. On the third hand I think domesticating previously wild animals is also cruel. Birds were meant to fly, cats and dogs were meant to hunt and murder smaller animals. Fish weren't meant to stupidly swim in a bowl. They were meant to stupidly swim in the ocean or rivers.
Leather shoes come from leather cows. So do patent leather shoes come from patent leather cows? Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?
