In the Beginning...

Well I've finally done it.  I've often spent my time reading through people's blogs on here.  Normally people I have never even met and probably never will.  There are many interesting views on here not to mention the opinionated and the utterly bizarre!

So here it is.  My blog.  I've decided to air my views to the world.  But seriously does anyone actually care what I think?  Why should they?  When you've finished from work after a long day or completed whatever you set out to do, do you really want to read what I think?  Does my opinion make even the slightest difference to anyone else?  Probably not. 

I doubt in years to come that someone will collect together my thoughts and bind them together as a new gospel.  Imagine that.  People sitting around in their homes reading what I said and trying to work out hidden meanings in my words as if they can unlock the meaning of life. 

No its not going to be anything as important as that.  I don't aspire to be a saint.  As far as I'm aware the first part of the criteria for that is to be dead.  A couple of miracles during your lifetime also help too.  Sadly all day drinking and not getting a hangover the next day does not constitute as a miracle I'm told.

So what to expect?  Well here is a start.  The Man of Steel, the new Superman film.  Now I enjoyed the original film with Christopher Reeve, it might be a bit old now but it’s hardly dated.  You might have watched The Man of Steel already.  It’s CGI galore.  Most of the movie is pure action.  Now I like an action and adventure film as much as the next man but even I thought this was too much.  Fighting.  Lots of fighting.  This film is basically a reboot the first film and Superman II.  If you remember in the second film Superman had to contend with General Zod and two other villains from Krypton, meaning they were just as strong as our hero.  Now this time General Zod has an entire army of super villains.  This means much bigger battles and more buildings to smash.

Lois Lane seems to have been transformed from a charming, likeable reporter into an unpleasant, interfering, insensitive hack.  And seriously a Superman film without Lex Luthor?  That's like Tom without Jerry, Batman without Robin, Bobby without J.R.?  No wait...

Something I didn't notice but it was pointed out to me was that Superman wasn't wearing red underpants.  Not sure why.  Maybe he is shy.  But these days its more trendy than ever to flash your pants.  He could have worn some trendy calvins.  But no.

So that's it for now.  Have you enjoyed this?  Is anyone even reading this or am I practically talking to myself?  I don't know.
