"Only God Knows Everything, And He Works For Mossad"

Continuing with my absolute lack of motivation to do some serious work, I've been watching a lot of movies lately.

I really didn't want to post anything, I just found the title funny, and after watching "Raid on Entebbe" quite true. (Albeit, the Entebbe rescue operation was conducted by Aman and the Sayeret Matkal, you know what I mean.)

In preparation for the release of Clerks II, I sat and watched the entire Kevin Smith collection in chronological order: "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Chasing Amy", "Dogma" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". All of these are nerd movies. Not the "Revenge of the Nerds" kind of nerd movie, but more like "Real Genius" type. The movies are littered with "Star Wars", "Jaws", John Hughes' movies and comic book references, not to mention references to the other movies in the Smith collection.

I can't stand these yuppy joints. Some bozo went through the bathroom correcting all the grammar in the graffiti with a red pen.

The title of this post is a passing quote from the movie "The Constant Gardener". Nothing more to say at the moment.

How do you like them apples?

I don't know about you but I hate those new Mac vs. PC commercials. I've never been a fan of Macs although they are more aesthetically pleasing. From my experiences, I can easily say that they do NOT run faster. Often, they run hella slower. And contrary to frequent spouted "fact," Macs DO freeze. Ever encounter the spinning color wheel of death?!?! Exactly. Force quit doesn't always cut it. And sure, Windows gets a crapload of viruses but hey, if Macs blow up to the point where the majority of computer users have them, I'm sure there will be ample viruses to go around.

I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!!

Would you characterize Superman as the strongest superhero ever? I mean, if there was no Kryptonite, how could anyone beat him? (Let's not even start on the irony that is the fact that Superman comes from Krypton but is deathly allergic to Kryptonite).

I remember when I was younger, the age old question was, who was stronger, Batman or Superman? And as much as I love Batman, there is no doubt in my mind that Superman would win hands down (if Batman didn't have Kryptonite, that is). Batman is basically a very fit rich guy who can afford kick ass gadgets. Superman is supernatural strength. Though Bruce Wayne is so much cooler than Clark Kent...maybe it's the tortured, tough-guy with a good heart persona that gets me.

A good fight may be Superman vs. Wolverine. Without Kryptonite, of course. We all know that with Kryptonite, the man of steel is toast.


Anyone watch Superman Returns? If so, how was it? Will be watching it soon but am curious.

Oh and is there a superhero who isn't tortured? Every hero that I know/can think of does or has some flaw. Hmmm...
