  1. I never understood the quibbles with the fight destroying the city. Kal-El is still discovering who he is and how powerful he is.

     

    Michael Shannon's Zod is my favorite villain in the current comic book movie universes. He's my favorite because he did an incredible acting job and I thought he was relatable. Would I destroy an ant colony to save my species? Yeah, probably.

     

    And the Krypton scene at the beginning is awesome.

     

    And Cavill is a great Superman.

     

    And the soundtrack is epic.

     

    I always loved Man of Steel.

  2. 1 hour ago, Chris- said:

     

    Man, you escaped the LDS. Live a little! Have some beers and stick your tongue in a nice juicy butthole.

     

    The mormonism certainly is a part of it but it's definitely not all of it. It just never appealed to me. While other forbidden things were enticing and the serpent beguiled me, and I did partake.

  3. Doesn't need its own thread but depressing nonetheless.

    It is striking for a couple of reasons. For one thing, the question is not about illegal immigrants, or even immigrants at all; it’s not about crime, or welfare, or jobs ... it’s just about racial diversity as such. And more Republicans are against it than for it! (So much for “economic anxiety.”)

     

  4. The Browns

     

    My favorite bits:

    You blew a 21-7 fourth quarter lead to Brett Hundley, of all people. You cut Joe Haden and he IMMEDIATELY joined the Steelers and found himself in an AFC playoffs because of course he did. Leaving the Browns is like leaving prison. You see sunlight for the first time. You remember what real food tastes like. My God, is this a fresh orange? SENSORY OVERLOAD! I don’t know if I’m gonna remember how to pee alone!

     

    They cut Brock Osweiler, but not before releasing the world’s worst hype video in his honor:

     

    I’m still angry they made an AC/DC reference but used Metallica’s font. It offends me as a 41-year-old suburban dad, and it should offend you as well.

    They tried trading second- and third-round picks for future failed Buffalo Bill AJ McCarron, only to have the trade fall through because they botched the paperwork.

    Quote

    A source with knowledge of the Browns’ sequence of events told cleveland.com that they sent their signed document to the Bengals with the expectation that the Bengals would also sign it and forward it on to the league.

    Amazing. Fucking amazing. I wouldn’t trust the Bengals to make a fucking mustard sandwich properly, and yet here are the analytics masters of the Browns blindly entrusting their fate to Mike Brown’s fax machine. Why, it’s almost like the Haslam family is instinctively careless with formal documentation! Did I mention that the Niners got Jimmy Garoppolo for just a second rounder?
