The Man of Steel hits theaters today in an epic fanfare of fanboy love.  He’s the biggest, the baddest, the most powerful and the most popular of all the superheros.  What gives Superman this honor is that he is the notion of perfection.  He is that ideal perfection that we all hope to achieve.  He is noble, true…and he can fly.  He is indestructible and incapable of evil.  Maybe that’s why it is so hard to make a good Superman movie.  I have not seen the new movie the reviews have been average at best.  It’s like our expectation of perfection gets in our way of our enjoyment.  When we expect too much there’s no hope for any movie, album, or TV show to match that expectation…so we’re naturally disappointed.  This is the main reason I do not include new songs in my lists.  To truly appreciate a song, it needs to be listened to and absorbed.  If I expect “Stairway To Heaven” at every outing…I’ll always be disappointed.  I’ve found if I don’t expect anything all…I’m more often surprised.  Man of Steel is already a box office smash.  Audiences love it and only time will tell if it survives or fizzles.

For all of those cats out there who run their own blogs, you all know that there’s a new type of spammer running around.  Programs or bots automatically go out and search for key words in blogs and place comments in the comment section.  These comments are ads for other sites…like porn, fake rolexes or even offers to have your blog advertised in the comment section of other blogs.

 These random comments have gotten out of hand.  Lately, I’ve been getting comments for the Republican party, Anti-Obama, and Jesus Christ propoganda.  This stuff doesn’t really offend me as much as it perplexes me.  What born again Christian thinks their audience might be looking at a Weezer post?  A post about the TV show Weeds signifies an anti-Obama crowd?  Or how in the world does one think Iron Maiden and Sarah Palin are like peanut butter and jelly?
