My trolling of Zack Snyder evidently will be to no avail as he seems to have turned out a solid film with executive producer Christopher Nolan at his back:
In all fairness though he’s quite good at making trailers, and less good at making movies. Anywho, it seems that viral marketing campaigns are what all the “cool kids” are doing nowadays and apparently The Big Blue Boyscout is no different:
Zack Snyder may not be as dumb as I thought he was, as Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov says Man of Steel will “set the tone” for DC characters “moving forward”. Let’s hope then that it’s better than Snyder’s LAST film. Entitled Sucker Punch. Robinov went on to comment that rumors regarding Christian Bale being cast in Justice League were unfounded, and said that Nolan’s Batman films do indeed “standalone”.
MEANWHILE:
Marvel will “keep taking risks” creatively in it’s Phase Two says Marvel studio head honcho Kevin Fiege:
The official slate of Marvel’s Phase Two is: Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy, culminating in The Avengers 2. Word on the streets is a key piece of the Marvel villain puzzle is none other than the Mad Titan Thanos. Who? Let’s take a look.
Professor Keirsey has outlined productive ability.
With the “Nolan Treatment” sweeping across hollywood: everyone is now going for darker, grittier, and more grounded stuff. And thus we have Wolverine wielding a samurai sword:
Jackman and Co. will be trying to seperate itself from the flop that was X-men Origins: Wolverine, a blunder that even got a good Magneto project cancelled. Director James Mangold is relatively unknown, but Jackman seems pretty pumped about going in depth with his favorite beserker. Let’s do the same.
Game of Thrones Season 3 premieres tonight at 9pm be sure to tune in or go to HBOGO.com!!
There are always peaks and valleys encountered in one’s life journey in time and space.
“It is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends.
But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy
is the quintessence of true religion”
— Mohandas K. Gandhi
“Get action. Do things; be sane;
don’t fritter away your time; create, act,
take a place wherever you are and be somebody;
get action.”
— Theodore Roosevelt
“Fix reason firmly in her seat,
and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.”

what I consider the most enviable of all titles,
the character of an honest man.”

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Well, the road to the heavens is also paved with good intentions and bad intentions. Because we never know, and never will know, the side effects of our actions that we in-tend — for our actions are ex-tensions that we can’t at-tend to, by definition.
And all of us have good intentions, in beginning, at least, and many still have good intentions to the end.
However, most people don’t enjoy directly dealing in the negative – they don’t like to think or talk about negative things, about themselves,
and sometimes others…
Shortly after trashing it’s first script, Justice League has been given new life as rumor has it Christian Bale is in talks to reprise his role as The Dark Knight in a JLA film. Similar rumors dictate that Christopher Nolan has been named “godfather” of the entire DCU at WB Studios. While both news stories are rumors and should be taken lightly, Justice League is looking a lot better than it was a couple weeks ago.
Meanwhile, a source claiming to have seen an early screening of Man of Steel is claiming that it is “the best movie of the year”. Which let’s be honest is pretty stupid because it’s only March, and the movie isn’t even out yet. Nevertheless, many think a Superman/Batman film starring Bale/Cavill is the most effective segway into an ensemble Justice League film. And they make some pretty good points. Why do Superman and Batman make such a powerful dynamic duo? Because an Artisan/Guardian symbiosis is a powerful thing. Let’s take a look.
Game of Thrones is back and Thank the Gods:
UPDATE:
For those of you who do not know, Game of Thrones is an HBO series in it’s third season based off a series of popular fantasy novels entitled “A Song of Ice and Fire”. Thrones chronicles the violent conflicts and struggles between noble families vying for control of the ‘Iron Throne’. The unprecedented genre series focuses primarily on political and military strife between four major powers: House Lannister, House Baratheon, House Stark, and House Targaryen. Just like the real four major powers or Temperaments, these ones certainly have their differences. Let’s take a look.
Only the educated are free.
— Epictetus
Think of it. A free education.
He is thinking of it.
Not for him; no, he learns by teaching. Bill Gates has seen to that.
No, Sal is going to try to teach the world, for free.
Unfortunately, most will not listen, at least most adults, for they are stupid and not curious. But maybe some lucky children and some adults will listen. And learn…

— English translation of August Kubizek comments about his friend.
“He made excellent use of his undoubted histrionic talents.”
Histrionic — melodramatic, theatrical, dramatic, exaggerated, stagy, showy, affected, artificial, overacted, overdone; hammy, ham, campy. Hysteria — an archaic term for a kind of madness.
There was no doubt he was to become a “deeply serious man.” — That was evident even to August as a young man. For Adolf did not have the “typical Austrian” sense of humour. For he was choleric in nature, or in modern terms: an Idealist.
He became a Zealot. A German Zealot. The German people were being humiliated by the French and British demanding Reparations. Then there were those Bolshevik and Menshevik Russians and Germans running around in Munich, and his vision to make “his people” whole again. Lastly, there were some Jews with material goods…
Unity.
Justice League seems to be in more hot water as WB execs have reportedly trashed Will Beall’s script with several sources claiming “it’s terrible”:
I’ve now heard from multiple sources that the Will Beall script for Justice League has been scrapped. The story from each source is the same: it’s terrible. Some sources seem to think the whole movie is going to fall apart and never happen, while some believe that Warner Bros will keep moving forward, unwilling to lose the superhero arms race.
WHOOPSY DAISIES. I’m not a mathematician or anything but aren’t they already LOSING the “superhero arms race”?
Seeing as The Avengers will assemble at the 85th Annual Academy Awards next week to present an award, while the Justice League doesn’t even exist yet?
Justice League’s saving grace may just be this film:
If Snyder dropped the ball however, WB is screwed.
While these superhero teams may be fictional, they express an extremely important idea: that people are fundamentally different from one another, and that that is a GOOD thing. Let’s take a look.
