Highlight to read (spoilers for Man of Steel):
It wasn't the scream so much as the act before it. Superman doesn't intentionally kill people. Superman doesn't snap necks. He just doesn't do that. He would put his own arm in front of Zod's eyes before killing him. He also could have flipped Zod on his back or froze him with his ice breath (which they could have easily introduced earlier in the movie). That's just bad writing and portrays a total misunderstanding of what the character stands for. Superman isn't The Punisher.
Anyway, I know it's starting to sound like I hated the movie now. I really didn't. There was a lot of great stuff in it but unfortunately there wasn't enough to mask some pretty major problems.

Well, let's see, I've always hated online gaming to begin with so what do you think?
In reality, I doubt I'll be getting a next generation console any time soon (if at all). I'm just not that into playing video games anymore. If I do end up getting one, it'll be a PS4 though (and I say this as an X-Box 360 owner).

Not only was The Dark Knight Rises unbearably tedious, but structurally it was a mess. Saying a movie is better than that is no great compliment.
One thing I forgot to mention is that at one point Superman is told that sometimes he needs to take a leap of faith. No points for guessing what I thought of.
I don't agree about TDKR being unbearably tedious and structurally, while both films had some problems on that front, I'd say Man of Steel was way messier. The movie was just all over the place from scene to scene (how many arbitrary flashbacks can you insert in one movie?). It was painful to watch at times. Not to mention how ridiculous some of the characterizations were. Jonathan Kent was basically one giant "WTF". And then there's that thing Superman does at the end of the movie. UGH.

Man of Steel
I enjoyed it overall, despite having numerous issues with it. There are a couple of scenes in it that I will pretty much have to block from my memory. Ugh.
Still miles better than the borderline disaster that was Iron Man 3.
Faora was my favorite part of film. She was a more intimidating villain than General Zod was in it frankly.

Changing the subject just a little bit. But, there is one subject I haven't brought up in a while, but I'm going to now. CHRISTMAS. One month from yesterday, Friday, July 5, 2013, I will be breaking out the Christmas Music for my 32nd Christmas.  Yes, indeed, after I get back from Kenya and after the 4th of July has come and gone, I will be turning my holiday attention to Christmas 2013! Bushie, I really, really love the beautiful and meaningful traditional Christmases that my family and I have, and I spend a lot of time thinking about and preparing for them as each passing year wears to an end, but that's almost half the calendar away.I don't care what the calendar says. I can listen to Christmas music year round. In fact, one of the first full albums that I downloaded on my iTunes on my iPhone was Cristy Lane's Christmas Classics. I listen to that occasionally. It soothes me and helps me relax. I'm already checking out Hobby Lobby for their Christmas decorations, and yes I am counting down not just the days, but the hours, as well. Okay, I'll play along. What are some of your favorite carols? I think you may have just opened Pandora's Box.

Bushie, for the sake of the forum, please get on eharmony/Chrsitianmingle right now! Or better yet, get on okcupid! It's free!
He never will with Inks discouraging him. But it would be so good for him to get out of the house. He would feel alive once again! And we'd hear some great stories in the process! Yep, it'd be better than driving all the way out to Alva just so he can stay overnight and watch motel porn. Cheaper too.

It just seems like this whole CAD thing is Bushie's dad's idea and he is once again going along for the ride. He hasn't really displayed any interest in it (not to mention he did worse than everyone else here who took that little test) and it sounds like he's trying very hard to convince himself that this is what he needs to do. He's already talking about what a load off his mind it is that there'll be no homework. Well, if this was something he really wanted to do, he wouldn't mind taking it home with him.
I'll tell you what you need to do Bushie. You need to seek some form of heavy duty psychological help before you attempt any more of these plans/schemes. You can start to overcome some of these obstacles in front of you but you're going to need help. Real help from experts.
I know you've been given a lot of different bits of advice from people on here, most of it good, some of it not so good... but I think every single one of us (even Inks) would cheer you on if you told us you were finally seeking out the psychological help that you so desperately need.

I got an 18, but I couldn't finish the test. I hate time limits  Also, you didn't get a diet drink? So you basically got a healthier sandwich and then ruined it by eating fries and LARGE regular soda? UGHHHHHH it's like you're just playing games with us! I went to the drink fountain with the intention of getting a diet drink, but I accidentally hit the Dr Pepper lever. I didn't realize it until the cup was full. Also, the fries only brought it up from 350 to 730 calories according to the McDonald's menu. So, the regular Dr. Pepper brought it up to probably 1,050-1,100 calories. That's not THAT bad, especially when I've only had 450 calories up until dinner. bahahahahaha

Did you walk yesterday and will you be walking today. Is the diet suspended until further notice?
he had to spend the day checking the weather in fort worth. 30% chance of rain in Fort Worth. I guess we can forget about Bushie walking, he's got severe weather to track.
