Friendly Neighborhood.........

Spiderman 3 trailer!!!!
It looks really good. You have to see it for yourself. If you are a fan you are going to be pumped!!
You might even have to bite your hand like I did so you don't scream.

Another geek note.
Check out Meerkat Manor on the Animal Planet. They follow the Whiskers (Named by the docu people) tribe of MeerKats led by Flower, the no nonsense matriarch. It's kind of like a soap opera with animals. It was pretty interesting and held my attention for sometime. I hope Shakespeare survives his snake bite. Otherwise I'll have to pour some out for my homey.

New York, New York big city of dreams.... GrandMaster Flash

One last thing... Guess who's back?
That's right Superman Returns!! I'll give a report later.

This title makes no sense....

Don't start collecting anything if you haven't already. Someday you will have to come face to face with your stuff and do something with it. Let the liquidation begin?
I will probably need some consoling from trusted friends when I start the purge. I have been talking about it for a while trying to get the gumption to let things go. It's hard for a collector. You think about Superman #1 going for hundreds of thousands of dollars and think what you are holding could be worth a mint..just give it time. The minute you let it go, BAM! The price will shoot up and there you are saying the phrase "I used to own/have one of those". While the CNN reporter is talking to some guy who found it at a garage sale for 50 cents.
Don't worry I am not getting rid of everything, just culling the herd and redefining what I want in my life. :) Does anyone smell a mid-life crisis burning?

Look!! Up in the Sky! It's a Bird....It's a Plane...It's my Dad!?!

A lot of who I am today comes from my crazy parents. The Superman Returns commercial came on this evening and it sparked a discussion. Yes, we talk about current events like the war and how to save the planet, but we chose a lighter fare tonight.
My dad was explaining how if he were friends with Clark Kent, Superman's alter ego he would know it was him. The conversation would go something like this:

This scene takes place at the daily Planet company picnic.
Dad: Hey Clark, C'mere (He waves him over)
Superman (as Clark Kent): Yeah Dicky? (my dad's nickname growing up and would sound totally normal in a Superman comicstrip) Great picnic huh?
Dad: Look, I know you're Superman.
Superman (as Clark Kent): No, I'm not, don't be silly. I wear glasses and Superman doesn't
Dad: I don't believe no one else can see it! You are Superman! and with that he reaches out catching Clark by surprise and knocks off the glasses.
The normally docile Clark kent turns into a somewhat angry Superman with glowing red eyes.
Superman (as Clark Kent): You know my secret, I can't let you live! (he looks around to see who may be watching)
Dad: You can't kill me you're Super eeeyyyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
He grabs my dad and throws him into the Sun (Imagine Bug Zapper noise here)
The End
Thanks to Pops for tonight's posting. I added a little imagery. You had to be here for the full effect of the joke, but it was fricking funny to us. My mom giggled quite a bit. :)

Fo Shizzle that sh*t was off the heezzy!!

I saw a movie with the folks (peace out to pops for picking this one) today. It's called District B13. It takes place in France in the year 2010. There is a city so bad that the French government has walled it off and abandoned it. In itself it sounds like a boring future movie with cheesy effects and bad dialogue. Au Contraire Mon Frere!!
This movie was really good. The story was good and the acting was cool, oh and don't let me forget it was subtitled sorry for those of you who don't like to read .
Luc Besson (Leon, The Proffesional) produced it, don't worry there wasn't a long operactic scene the middle (see The Fifth Element...another excellent Luc film.)
What set this film apart from many others with that sort of plot was the stunt work and action. The actors were using Parkour Free Running. A style that uses the surrounding as your personal playground.
These guys run off roofs, jump through open windows and climb things like you and I walk our lazy butts around normally. They have been featured in commercials and some Alt videos on MTV. One of the main creators of Parkour is one of the main characters in the movie. The movie has some stupid henchmen or as a friend of mine calls them "the soccer team", a bunch of guys running around only to be hit and duped, still all in all a good fun movie. A delight to discover on a day when I didn't really want to see a movie. I recommend this one and give it four Rickys out of Five. Check out the websites very interesting. The district B13 website is pretty cool.
