I was in the city. I can’t seem to remember how or why I was there.

An old friend who I cut contact with came up to me.  We did not question or acknowledge any coincidence on how we stood in the same time or place, nor did we greet each other.  If anything I didn’t want to see that person again, at least not for a long time anyway.

I know you are all probably sick of the Superhero stuff I keep putting up in this segment. But this is all about entertainment news and Hollywood is all about Superheroes right now. So basically DC and Warner Brothers has come out and said that they will be making a movie out of The Justice League. That’s right Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc, all together in their own flick. Clearly the hype for Marvel’s The Avengers was too pervasive to ignore. However Marvel is taking the time and effort to introduce all the Avenger characters in their own movies leading to the team up. This is great because it lets us meet all the characters and understand the universe so by the time they all come together we understand the world and who they all are. DC on the other hand has the Green Lantern coming out in a few months plus the new Superman and the third Nolan Batman next year. But  apparently The Justice League will be a completely independent project in 2013 and while using the same characters will have no link to any previous movie. This doesn’t fill me with confidence at all. Essentially we will see yet another version of Batman and Superman only a year after their new movies. Plus even though the Dark Knight Rises is still a year away and we know it’ll be great, Warner has said that they will be rebooting Batman AGAIN after Chris Nolan leaves, to take the character in a different direction. Come on Warner get your shit together. The studio clearly has a fantastic franchise with DC Comics but they certainly don’t have any idea what they should do with it.

As we all know by now, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California has announced that he is finishing his political career and returning to film. I can’t be stuffed typing Arnold Schwarzenegger so from here on out he’ll be referred to as Arnie. [..]
