So I finally saw the Thor trailer. I don’t really know what to say, but oh my God, I started cracking up halfway through. It looks *really* campy and off the wall. Tears were coming from my eyes, that’s how bad I think the trailer is. That being said, I see Acura is endorsing this movie a great deal.
The Avengers teaser has also been leaked, and it looks much better than Thor…and all you saw was the ‘A’ with Samual-Motherfucking-L Jackson talking over it.

I firmly believe this guy should be suspended without pay for shooting and killing a dog that showed no actual signs of aggression. Anyone with a Samoyed or Husky know they play rougher. This “man” is a fucking pathetic excuse for a human being. If you need to prove what a bad ass tough guy you are by shooting someone’s dog, you are a piece of shit. On the same level as Hitler type piece of shit.

In Baltimore there is a rather large comic shop known as Collectors Corner. Overall, it is a nice shop, with a lot of modern comics, as well as DVD’s, graphic novels, a room to play card games, and another room with a large selection of back issues. I noticed however that most of the back issues range from 1980-2000. While that isn’t a bad thing, as we all know I don’t collect those specific comics. They do have one case filled with SA Marvel books, but again, I’m a DC.
I enjoy visiting this shop. Julie and I stopped by on Free Comic Book Day, and I’ll swing by whenever they have a sale (like they did this weekend). The staff is friendly and eager to talk to customers, something a lot of shops don’t do. I urge you all to check this place out whenever you find yourself in Baltimore!

That’s right. Michael Keaton is playing Ken in Toy Story 3! I know this is kind of old news, but it still tickles my funny bone. Plus I love me some Michael Keaton, and I love Toy Story.
Also, there is an awesome rumor that Green Lantern might get his own show on Cartoon Network! That would be fabulous!

I picked up the Birds of Prey #1 because the art was pretty. I am not familiar with BOP in any other way, to be honest. While it is a good first issue, I feel like you need to have a back ground or prior knowledge about BOP before reading. For example, I had no idea Lady Blackhawk was in the team. This story really tries to be an introduction, but it was kind of lost on me in some parts.
However, the story is shaping up to be really good. I’ll keep reading for a few more issues, just to feel it out.
The new Flash series is really enjoyable. I was not a Flash fan prior, but this series has been a fun read so far, with some pretty funny bits.
Oh, and apparently Bruce Wayne is traveling through time or some shit. Julie talked about it a little bit ago on here, and yes, so far, really good.

If you have not been following Blackest Night/Brightest Day, this will have spoilers.
So in Blackest Night, the worst super hero ever–Aquaman–is a Black Lantern, because he is dead. He was a really shitty Black Lantern. His wife (who is a bad ass) beat him up all of the time. Well, long story short, someone thought it was a good idea to bring him back. It was never a good idea to bring him back. The best idea DC has had in the past decade was killing him off. The worst idea was bringing him back. HE SUCKS. He talks to fish. Now he talks to dead fish. And while that might seem like a cool idea (it is) Aquaman is just not good. His wife can control water, and she’s pretty strong. Like, she can repel bullets strong. Superman must have given her some of that, if you catch my drift.
Brightest Day so far is good. Deadman is kind of boring, but whatever. At least he’s better than Aquaman.

While I’m all for tacky and crazy houses, this is beyond anything I would ever do. I salute the guy for doing what he loves, but I hope he has one helluva security system.

So I got a Wii and a Wii Fit for the children area where I work. I own a Wii at home, but I play by 360 more than anything else (plus I love Netflix). I had heard a lot of hype about the Wii Fit, that it will “replace” going to a gym, and all kinds of things. I’ve been playing Wii Fit for about a week now, and while I’ve noticed a slight decrease in my BMI, over all I still get a better workout at the gym.
That being said, this is great for people who are not active. This is still a step in the right direction. It gets you up and moving, and you are working out (although most of it is low impact) which is always good. Today on Wii Fit I burned 60 calories (and then in Zumba I burned about double of that). I’m not patting myself on the back, but for a lot of people who could be a big feat. I also like it because kids want to play it. There are so many cool and fun games for kids, they don’t tire of it. Getting kids in the habit of working out regularly will do wonders for them later down the line.
So, Nintendo Wii, I salute you!

I could honestly give a shit either way, but maybe now the movie will focus more on giant robots beating the shit out of each other. Fanboys everywhere are crying like babies though, since “the only good thing from the movie is gone!!” WOAH WOAH WOAH THERE. The movie is about giant robots fighting over Earth. If you’re going in for some fap material, please turn in your geek card now. There’s no plot, only awesome CGI.
Also kids, let this be a valuable lesson: Do not bite the hand that feeds.
