Sure, it seems like there's been a bunch of Superman movies made, but there have been many more almost made. If you're a Superman fan you will both enjoy and cringe at what almost happened, and if you're not you'll still shake your head in bewilderment at the ideas that drive Hollywood.
It saddens me that the United States can't get its act together enough to hold its own National Pyrotechnic Festival. Thankfully, our neighbor Mexico doesn't hold the same opinion. Check out these photos to see just how much fun we're missing. Here's but a taste...
I'm not one of those people that preach you should stop eating fast food and other gross stuff because you're doing damage to your body, but I do think you should at least know what you're putting into your body. And in the US, sometimes that can he harder than it seems. Take a look at these awesome ingredients that have been banned elsewhere, but are in food in the United States.
The roller coaster ride of the production of World War Z is about to come to an end; unfortunately it seems like it won't be the fun loop de loop we want it to be, if we are to believe this review.
I think I'd like to do what Rick Rubin does. Is there a website, or someone I have to talk to, for that?
And finally, RIP James Gandolfini, a great actor who died yesterday apparently of a heart attack. A lot of people (rightfully so) point to his work in The Sopranos as a career defining performance, but I will always remember him for this one part in True Romance, this look he has after hitting Patricia Arquette, that summed up his character and actions all at once. It's a look of disgust, rage and atonement (looking up, as if to ask God for forgiveness for his actions) and says all you need to know. I wish more actors had this kind of talent.

Cool Shit 6/14
Getting ready for the new Superman movie, here's a look back at some actors that studios thought about for the role.
It's Bonnaroo weekend - and while you may not have had the wherewithal to head to Tennessee to sit out in the sun and mud, there's still a way to experience the music from the comfort of your own home.
Cool documentary coming out soon called Mirage Men about how the United States government created the myth of UFOs to cover up what they were doing...
Great, more dust storms don't just mean the potential dustbowl recurrence from the 30s, it could mean someone takes a swipe at a Grapes of Wrath sequel.
Pictures of abandoned buildings throughout America.
If you like Daft Punk's recent song Get Lucky, you'll enjoy this listen to the song as to how it may have sounded were it released in different decades.

Cool Shit 4/17
If you're looking for some adventure, and really don't mind not coming back, you could sign up to go to Mars.
New trailer for the upcoming Superman movie...
Cool video showing how simple light changes can affect a person's appearance.
While I don't think this will help you understand it better, this graphic will at least let you see which movie uses which specific time travel theory.
Ghostface Killah has a new album coming out. And GQ has a track by track breakdown of it! (If you had told me 15 years ago I would ever write that last sentence I would have run off and become a monk. And yet here we are.)
I always enjoy lists of banned books and the reasons given for their banning, simply because in the span of about 30 seconds, I can walk into a library and find a dozen books with way more questionable subject matter...books I had easy access to as a child. Let's say for example - the bible! Scandalous!
The Violent Femmes was my first concert, back in, oh probably 1989? 1990? And even then the band was fairly old. In the next few years after that I saw them at least 2 more times...maybe 3. The early 90s are a little smoky for me. Anyway, back when I was in college, their debut album was THE college album; the one album you could assume every dorm room had a copy of. I couldn't tell you why really...possibly the salacious lyrical content, or perhaps the rhythmic, simplistic tribal nature struck a chord deep inside. I'm not sure what today's goto college album is, but I'd bet whatever it is, its generation can't sing the songs like Generation X can to The Violent Femmes debut. And now it's 30!
