Jet setting sucks
Jul 03It looks as if Alert Nerd was mostly abandoned this past week, as Sarah was away for part of it, Matt was away for part of it, and I was away for all of it. I half expected I would be able to posting SOMETHING while I was in Germany, but not so much.
I wish I had lots of German nerdiness to report, but with the World Cup on, it’s all German jockiness right now.
I did however buy not one, not two, but THREE German hip hop CDs, which make me very happy.
I’ll share more when my brain isn’t convinced it’s dinner time at breakfast time.
Superman Returns; I Suggest, "Go Back."
Jul 03I was in Orlando, FL for a job interview on Friday and staying with my in-laws. After the interview, my mother-in-law says, “Why don’t you go see a movie?”
Instantly, I want to see Superman Returns, because I am freaking hyped, and because I very lamely ditched seeing the flick on Tuesday night with Sarah and hubby Jeff due to a crying baby and the aforementioned impending trip to Orlando.
Only when I say I’m going to see Superman, my mother-in-law is like, “Great! Let’s go!”
And so I saw Superman Returns with my mother-in-law, who is about as far from geeky as can be imagined. Which was useful, because after seeing it, I realize she is probably more of an appropriate target audience for Superman Returns than I am. Overall, and I must be wrong here cause the intarweb says so, I don’t necessarily think this movie will appeal to geeks so much as it will the great unwashed nongeeky masses, looking for a thrilling plane crash and an unrequited romance and some reheated John Williams from nearly twenty years ago.
They just want summer superheroics, and we want much, much more.
Ring My Bell
Jun 29Since returning from my all-too-brief vacay, I’ve pretty much been attending movies left and right (some for work, some not so much).
Last night, I caught Clerks II, and I shall hold off on commenting much until it comes out next month. Just know that I give it a big thumbs up, and in the meantime, please meet my new boyfriend, Elias.
Prepare to fall in love, America.
