Man of Steel (2013)

★★★★

Nothing is perfect and my rating system doesn’t deal with halves so I gave this flick the benefit of the doubt and upped it .5 for visual effects. “Man of Steel” is the most updated version of a Superman flick. After the last “reboot” a few years back, they went back to the drawing board after seeing the success of the Marvel flicks and how they dealt with their character arcs. Don’t lie, DC and pretend you didn’t. Then again, with Christopher Nolan helping with writing and producing the film, I’m sure his influence was projected. After all, he brought a darkness to Batman that others (for whatever reason) didn’t think to do previously on film.

So, we now have a more serious version of Superman with a background story. See, in this, the “S” means “hope” on his original home planet, Krypton. It’s not an “S” at all, but a symbol of his family name. Or something like that. Anyway, he’s sent by his parents via spaceship from his doomed planet after a coup has begun by General Zod. Zod is different from Superman 2′s Zod. Unfortunately, “Kneel before Zod” isn’t uttered once. That’s a positive because you can’t pull it off like “Previous Zod”. Current Zod is pretty good, though. He seems pissed and hell-bent to find the baby that was sent so long ago because he possesses the formula to bring Krypton back to life. See,…Zod is obsessed with Krypton and trying to re-birth it. Hence….the conflict.

After discovering his Earth dad (Kevin Costner) and mom (Diane Lane) adopted him, young Clark always felt different than the other kids. Probably because his eyes could melt things, he could look at his teachers boobs wobble, and he could lift vehicles up. Some of these acts made him feel like he wasn’t like the others. So, when he’s old enough, he ventures out to discover himself. On his first real lead, he’s discovered by Lois Lane, a nosy, thrill-seeking reporter ready for that big scoop. And when she busts in on him…all hell breaks loose. We get ship launches, Ghost-Dad, alien visits, and a pissed off Zod and his very attractive and sexy-when-she’s-kicking-all-kinds-of-ass assistant/wife, Faora-Ul played by actress Antje Traue who also seems to have a Kryptonian name. Alien or not, she might make it on the Hulk Smash list.

Once everything comes into play, and Earth is threatened, Superman is sent to save the day. Director Zack Snyder made sure that your visual experience would be shocking to the system. You felt like Zod when he felt the effects of Earth’s atmosphere. It was a thrill-ride and they didn’t let you rest a bit. It was suspenseful and exciting. I watched the 3-D version so I’m sure the regular version is just as good.

Go see it. I’m a Batman and Hulk fan but this was a great story and well-done. There were a few nuances that had me saying “WTF?” but I looked past them since this was just a super-hero story re-done…again and nothing is perfect. Henry Cavill did a great job as Kal-El/Superman/Clark Kent. Dude looked like he spent half the summer in the gym preparing for the role. Question: How does Superman shave? Back on topic…good flick. See it with someone you hate who believes Marvel does a better job. Then get drunk and discuss the flick. Ha!

Kerry Washington

The Zodiac — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:00:24 +0000

Name: Kerry Washington

Status: My Gamma Weakness

Occupation: Actress

Why?: You ever look at a person and seem to say “Holy Shit!” although it’s 300th time you’ve seen them. Yeah…that’s Kerry Washington. Beautiful, sexy, talented and leading her own popular TV show these days isn’t a bad life for this incredibly Hulk-smashable pile of chocolate bliss! Good-God! Now, I have FB fam who always keep the world up-to-date with their Scandal status messages but I really wish some of them would just post photos of Kerry. It’d be a much better FB status and keep the interest of those who don’t give a damn about TV.

I don’t know what Kerry has up her sleeve during the off season, but for now, I have a bed she can share with me while she makes her next deal. Too bad, it would fail because she’d be in a wheelchair after I was done with her. That’s just how Hulk’s smash these days…

Rosario Dawson

The Zodiac — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:00:18 +0000

Name: Rosario Dawson

Status: Sin in the City
Occupation: Actress

Why?: Every day, it’s the same thing. Go to sleep and dream about Rosario Dawson. Who doesn’t remember their first crush on her from the old flick “Kids” back in the day? Who else from that film do you remember? Exaaaactly! Not only is she bad as hell physically, she seems like a cool-ass chick you’d play cee-lo on the corner with and get beaten for trying to jack her for her money. But that femininity comes out in some flicks when her boobs come out flying like in that weak-ass Colin foreign dude-movie where he saw them in 3-D. Some old Trojan Horse type flick that I could care less about except where Rosario showed her bulbous chesticles and made every man hate his own significant other at the time.

Be on the lookout! Apparently, her next flick, “Trance” has our Rosario nude again but this time down below where her beef curtains are in full view due to a lack of forestry. Niiiiice! Smash is in her future.

Mena Suvari

The Zodiac — Wed, 01 May 2013 16:00:16 +0000

Name: Mena Suvari

Status: Bunny Bubble!

Occupation: Actress

Why?: I don’t know what it is about this girl. But for some reason, I’ve had a little crush on her since her little ass showed up on my tv screen watching “American Beauty”. That was back in the late 90′s and I always kept her in the back of my head. Then, recently, I watched a flick called “Stuck” where she had cornrows and made bad decisions. Watching her as the Black Dahlia on American Horror Story probably finalized the crush into a full-blown love affair where she’d need some hulking in order to satisfy my needs and desires. Yeah, Mena…you’ve been put into the Gamma radar. And it’s prepared to fire, dammit!

Racebook: Michelle Obama 50th Birthday Edition

The Zodiac — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:26:30 +0000

Beyond the usual “bitch”, “c*nt”, “whore”, or “pig” the First Lady, Michelle Obama is called, many on the Right can’t seem to contain themselves in public forums under the guise of a Facebook username from spouting out common racist slurs. Of course, they’ll spin it around and call the Obamas racist against Whites but nobody has ever successfully explained how this is possible. But tell me what’s worse: the original posters or the cowards who “Like” the blatant racist posts?

So, without further ado, I present to you Racebook: The Michelle Obama Birthday Party (that no one has bothered to research or confirm the costs before replying). Feel free to alert these assholes that they’ll forever be linked to their racist rants. Cheers!

Manuel Pacheco the man-wife must think she’s some kind of shaka-zulu princess or something. this is the most classless first lady this country has ever known. someone should ask her if she if she still feels proud of her country for the very first time. no comparison between the man-wife and laura bush. laura bush was classy, smart, intelligent and truly loved her country.

Rest in Peace, Tim Dog

The Zodiac — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:29:42 +0000

Awww man! Who remembers Tim Dog? If you’re from the East Coast (and most likely the West for different reasons), you’d remember Tim Dog from the Bronx who repped the East Coast during the rise of NWA, MC Eiht, DJ Quik and others from Compton, CA. Why? ‘Cause he felt the need to single-handedly disrespect the popular city at the time with his song “Fuck Compton”.

At the time, people weren’t sure how hardcore NWA were but didn’t wanna test them. Tim Dog? Nah…he stepped to the plate to rep the East by dissing each member. In fact, he didn’t like the Cali rappers except Ice-T. “I’ll crush Ice Cube, I’m cool with Ice-T / But NWA ain’t shit to me”. His lyrics were really simple at the time but compared to today’s rappers, playing “Fuck Compton” right now would feel like a breath of fresh air lyrically. Ha!

Even Snoop Doggy Dogg at the time dissed back at Tim Dog, born Timothy Blair, in “Fuck Wit Dre Day” with “Your bark was loud but your bite wasn’t vicious / And them rhymes you were kickin’ are quite bootylicious”. Ahh…the good old days! Dogg vs. Dog. The song actually probably not only pushed the East vs. West rivalry more but made the East step their game up lyrically to back up what Tim was saying. Unfortunately today, the East could use a Tim Dog in the confidence department but unfortunately, Tim Dog has died.

Suffering from a diabetes-related seizure, the dog died yesterday at the young age of 46. Definitely a sad ending to a tragic life that as recently as 2011 pled guilty for mackin’ a woman out of $32Gs. The whole story was covered by Dateline NBC. Check for some of his songs but especially the album, Penicillin on Wax. It’s one of the funniest albums I’ve ever heard. Rest in peace, Dog!

Ladies sure do like dressing up (and down) and taking photos of themselves. I’m not sure why they keep doing it, but thank God they do! Enjoy!
