I just saw SUPERMAN

Hey All,                                                                                                                        I wanted to let you all know that beforehand of posting my review of the new SUPERMAN film which I am currently doing right now, will be followed up by some Superman comics being covered here by myself.  Yesterday while I was heading to uptown Richland towards Adventures Underground on the bus ride there my sister in-law texted me to see what I was up to and she asked if I wanted to see the new SUPERMAN movie so instead of just texting her back I called her and in our conversation she told me if I was free could we see that new SUPERMAN film and I said I am okay with that because I haven't seen it yet. While out at uptown area I went to an antique that I know of, and went in there with the intention of finding a Ray Bradbury book to add to my small collection already... which I had picked up a copy of the Martian chronicles at Adventures 


 , yet I had found this cool SUPERMAN coffee mug there.                                  So after going to church with Kathie this morning we then headed over to the Queengate movie theater. We got our tickets and went an got there while the screening was still showing trailers.  We had seats row G 9 and 10 and weren't to high of seeing the full size of the screen. The one thing that I will say for certain is that no matter what don't  make your decision on whether to see this new take on the boyscout of all superheroes just because of the negative reviews you have heard over the internet! Now I am not promising to be able to provide you with the best review of this movie, just the most meaningful one from a real humbling comic lover.                                                                                          This version of Superman isn't exactly Christopher Reeve perfect but there happens to be a cameo that's able to be missed by one of his son's is on a video transmission as a news reporter in a fight scene with a little monster nearly rampages through out Metropolis, D.C. universe... New York for the character. Besides the film being about first comicbook superhero created by two immigrants named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who sold their property of their creation of Superman for only one hundred and thirty eight dollars to back in the nineteen thirties to National Comics who was the name of Decetevice Comics back then in April of nineteen thirty eight. The Lex Luthor in this is not a Gene Hackman version who is after land in the Reeve's films. In this Lex is very determined to kill the alien of Krypton the film also may have a greater impact villain wise that has been hinting at since forty two years ago in nineteen eighty three's Superman III when they were wanting to use the Superman foe known as Brainaic.                       Another reason why you may like this version of Superman is because of Krypto who is the most misbehaving dog.... My overall grade for this Superman movie is a B minus!

Hello All,                                                                                                                      Ever since I have come back from visiting my folks from in Cuenca, Ecuador back around the end of this past May,  I started back on nineteenth, and while trying to have as much fun with them and my new friend Ian that I met while visiting them I was definitely trying to getting around to reading   


                                        these books seen here. Since that time I have only read the Batman Hush trade yet at the same time while down there I kept trying to get in to reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and even though it took me close to a whole month later in June for me to devouring this fictional tale of what could happen to humanity if we can have everything we want or need with the exception of one very important thing.  This review of Fahrenheit 451 has a great many things within it's very pages that are very relevant to today on the fourth of July evening. It also has a lot of meaning about each of us as humans treating each person as much as a needed relationship and understanding the importance of needing to remember we all are in need of self respect when the world is at time against us. Let's get into why this story is very important to all of humanity!                                                  From the first page of Fahrenheit you or we as readers find out that in this world's fire fighters aren't perventors of destruction they are the cause of them, as the central hero of this story known as Guy Montag is described with having possibly pain over watching the results of his work of setting a place up in being burnt down with his hose that is connected to a canstor of Kerosene on his back. We can tell by the words which Bradbury uses that he seems rather in doubt of his own thoughts. He as he walking home meets a young teenager who with her own type of conversation brings up something for Guy to ponder even more over which is "are you happy?"                                                We find out that Guy himself while dealing with his wife at home seems to might have his own personal secret of something that he is hiding stuff in a ceiling ventilator in his room but at this point, he is the only one who knows what it might be? He went and sometime years ago had built an entertainment palor for his wife, and she wants him to finish it. The entertainment palor has currently three wall size television screens in it, while he is still paying off the third television with his salary from being a fireman. The next night when he attends work at the fire station Montag see that the station now has a entirely new pet while he is playing cards with the guys his boss tells him of why they have this mechanical hound. Then the alarm sounded....                  What is the meaning of an alarm in this powerful story? It is known that if anyone has any type of glued pages with words with either a paper backing or a cardboard cover binding better known as a book your punishment is your life is definitely ended! The firemen headed to a elderly woman's home and  she's defensive in protecting her ideal of why words are very relevant to her. Montag's boss Beatty then sets the woman and her home up in flames!                                                   From here on out I won't spoil what comes next for the characters of Fahrenheit 451... Except this Every single character is forever changed! The main thing that I want to do now is talk about what the story itself brings out in the way of controversies and or criticisms how  much if at all do Ray's actual substance still affect us as humans today.                                                                                                                             One if not the main things that I did notice as I read this novel is the understanding that in one way or another as I just said there is complete elevolution of not only characters choosing to change or not able to change is shown with grit and also grief as there is mentioned the war of the past through Guy's remembrance to his own childhood when he is talking to the teenager girl at the beginning. Which is of course known to one generation as either "The Big One" and then there is this one "The Greatest Generation's War" were two ways of defining name wise of World War II as far as I Matt remember before the internet was introduced to the whole world in nineteen ninety four.         Anyway as Guy is talking to Clariesse McClellan on their walk to their homes he remembers a time, when he was a boy and his mother lit a candle to give them light when the power was out everywhere. There is certainly no doubt that this was a memory that Ray Bradbury felt needed to be shared in this very nightmarish story of literature being destroyed! He also made it another point to speak of people anywhere and everywhere being burned and not just like in the concentration camps over in places like Nazi Germany, while under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, who was responsible for murdering close to six million Jewish people in what is known as the Holocaust. Hitler also murdered an additional four million other people who were deemed "unworthy of life."                                                                                                                             So there is a lot more to the meaning about people being burnt in real life besides the likes of combustion of oxygen and heat. Fahrenheit 451 shows us that even in the greatest of unknowable ways people everywhere can hurt themselves even with the consequences of cutting technologies if we are not careful enough! The most important and meaningful experience from the words of this very fictional yarn that I have gained is we as humans are more worthy to judge those closest to us rather if we know them as our own families and friends because we decide to go with our feelings rather than our known knowledge when we have everyday contact with each other... but at the same time if the whole world is against you remember that no one has to endure the worst of all options do not just disappear into a crowd of nothingness!           Remember that there is something absolutely special about us and books, we need them to understanding not only a good or a fantastic source of knowledge... we need stories to learn about both the understanding of being rich with both love and responsibly even if the topic in the way of the book's subject is completely something else entirely. Now with today being the fourth of July remember to use proper judgment when lighting up those fireworks and enjoy your time with your family and friends...
