Look up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! Its SUPERMAN!

Well needless to say i watched Superman Returns. And despite all the reviews on the internet and the dumass comments by bollywood actors ( who actually compared superman to krish!!) i have to say i enjoyed the movie. It had all the classic superman elements- the swooping rescues from falling buildings, catching a plane in mid-air, aerial tour of the city with a girl- all the good stuff that makes you love superman.

Brandon Routh for me looked the part and i did not think anyone would even come close to achieving the Superman look the way Christopher reeves did (the old superman). He (Routh) had the classic superman smile and the trademark hands on hip pose to go with it. He actually looked a lot like Reeves in the movie i thought. As far as the movie is concerned it had its bad moments. I found Kevin Spacey really irritating in the movie , but hey the guy has won two oscars who am i to trash him. Kate bosworth too was disappointing as Lois Lane. You would think a girl juggling between Superman and James Marsden would be more cheered up in life :D.

The best moment of the movie has to be when the kid throws the piano at the guy who was about to assault his mom. Yeah all of us expected it but it still was cool. He then tosses aside his asthma shot which well i just hope other asthmatic kids dont try. Also when Lois Lane kisses Superman i was half expecting him to wake up then. That would have REALLY ruined the movie.

Well its no doubt Superman is the most popular superhero of all time. As a kid you would rather fly or have x ray vision. Web throwing and pole sliding arent exactly on top every kids wish list. Also of the three (Batman, Superman, Spiderman) , superman is the only one from another planet. I guess that makes the stuff he does more believable. I think the movie could have done without the "Im always around" line. Sounds too much like the cheesy "Im your friendly neighbourhood spiderman". A Chandleresque "America loves Superman, Thank you NEW YORK, Good Night!!" might have been a better sign out line :D. Or not whatever.

What am i doing here??

It was not so long ago that i was in a heated debate with my friend about how blogging was a complete waste of time. In fact i also remember mentioning in that very debate about how orkutting was an even bigger waste of time. Well i am a regular orkutter now and have got a lot of stick from my friends for that. And i expect a lot more when im seen here on blogspot .

I guess i have way too many thoughts in my head and i need to let it out somehow and blogging in a weird and unhealthy way is probably a good outlet. Bah who am i kidding there is one reason and one reason alone. A couple of weeks back i paid 100 bucks for the worst two hours of my life. It was a play by evam called "The cut of hamlet". Apparently regular bloggers on blogspot got free tickets for that show and me with my principles had to pay 100 bucks for it. So i decided i cant afford to have principles anymore.

I think there was a reason why i saw that play. I came out of that show and i realised those are two hours of my life( and 100 bucks) i am never going to get back.That reminded me of this episode from friends where one of monica's friends says the same thing after watching Dead Poets society. Well if DPS drove her to say that i suggest she stay away from this production by evam. Enough people have trashed the play on their blogs so i might as well spare them.

So one might think if the play sucked so much why am i upset i dint get a free ticket? Well i guess we all have a thing for free things. Women are completely ok with the way they look till they get a free pass to a beauty spa. Guys dont need new shoes till they get a 40 % discount coupon from Reebok. And i become a book buyer once a year when my fathers bank gives me a Landmark gift voucher for my birthday . So im ashamed to say its my unfortunate cheapness that has brought me to blogging . And as my title suggests i am bored too.
