The whole pool deck at work today was closed due to harsh thunderstorms, so we had fun folding towels at the back of towel desk. I was so clumsy today allowing my stacks to fall to the ground, it was such a waste! My best friend and I sat with our other two friends who decided to build a fort. We were recruited to help keep the wall up, and keep an eye for people like our boss. Before me and my best friend would be peer pressured to more mischief, our lead put an end to their sinister plot. I really enjoyed folding towels with my best friend this morning.
I remember watching an interview of Stan Lee. He remembered when the Dark Knight came out in theaters, and did tremendously well in the box office. He was so frustrated that his close friend Bob Kane was not alive to see his Batman become such a huge success. Despite Marvel and DC being rivals, the two would have a cup of coffee with each other everyday and exchange ideas. It's no wonder why certain heroes on both sides seemed so similar. (i.e. Quciksilver & Flash). Stan Lee is 89 years old, and has had the privilege to be the first creator to cameo in every single Marvel film. I am so happy that he is so fortunate to bless us with his existence, because he is a hero to me with the work he has done. I have lost many people who were significant to me, but you learn to appreciate what they have done when they were alive. And not focus on them being gone. Another shirt came later in the day. At work, I remember my co-workers comparing everyone to which superhero they would be. Oddly enough, when they looked at me, right away they thought of Flash. It may be due to the fact that I always rush to places, and leave everyone who is following me behind. I do think I am a slowpoke at times, because I am just a plain idiot when the moments are right.
So excited my order finally came! Made me so happy after I came home from work. I feel as if there is always something to look forward to. :P Package looked like it was shipped in a GameStop bag.

Five Reasons The Avengers Is Way Better Than The Dark Knight Rises
1. The Avengers Is Simply More Fun: The Dark Knight Rises is funnier than previous batflicks, sure. But with writer/director Joss Whedon's witty dialogue, The Avengers acts like it knows it's a summer popcorn flick. Rises wants to be so much more (like an Oscar hopeful?) and can't quite pull off the balance between moments that are as light as The Cat's backflips and deadly serious as Bruce Wayne's time in The Pit. 2. The Dark Knight Was a Tough Act to Follow: And Rises couldn't quite do it. Now, Avengers only had to surpass Iron Man 2, Thor, Hulk, Captain America-and it did! No one really knew how The Avengers would actually work, but after a five-film buildup, the real feat was how effortless the whole thing felt. What scene in Rises is as cool as Iron Man brawling with Thor and Captain America stepping in to break it up? Answer: No scene is that cool. 3. Easter Eggs and Falafels: The quick glimpse of space titan Thanos at the end of The Avengers made us break open those dusty boxes of comics to search for clues on what's next. That's a big part of what makes Marvel's initiative so cool: As we get teases for the next film's plot we suddenly want to read all about it. That extra final scene at the falafel shop with no dialogue had everyone leaving the theatre with huge smiles. The Dark Knight Rises pays off at the end with some serious twists, and—SPOILER ALERT!!!—the setup of a potential successor. But isn't that what you expect from a Christopher Nolan flick, anyway? 4. Iron Man Is Easier to Talk To Than Batman: While Batman's screen time is the least of the films, we would like to think Christian Bale knew more Bruce Wayne time meant less growly line readings, which made parts of The Dark Knight seem unintentionally silly. Still, The Dark Knight Rises had plenty of good lines trampled by excessive pounding music or Bane's creepy breathing apparatus. Iron Man at worst sounds like a robot. A really awesome robot. 5. No Hulk: The Dark Knight Rises doesn't have a Hulk, or anything like it. It has a Gotham army of police, Bane, Anne Hathaway on a batcycle, a fusion bomb, an exploding football field, pain and sorrow, the League of Shadows, more social commentary than an episode of The Daily Show, but no Hulk. Strange how both films (and Transformers 3 before them) all came down to metropolis-smashing mayhem, but The Avengers topped the rest as Mark Ruffalo proclaimed "I'm always angry." And the Hulk proceeded to smash like he never smashed before. No superheroic climax has ever been such a crowd-pleaser. Of course, maybe you can come up with five reasons The Dark Knight trounces The Avengers, and you should—in the comments. But we'll start with this one: 1. IMAX > 3-D: With more than 40 percent of Rises actually shot in IMAX, the picture looks incredible. Way better than the post-converted 3-D of Avengers. |
