The Man of Steel (2013) Stealing Ideas & Too Formulaic
The Man of Steel movie was simultaneously great and disappointing to me. There was a lot of good things that I took from the movie, especially the references and nods to the comic book history. Spoiler alerts raised, read on to find out why MoS clones too many ideas, follows the movie formula to the T, and breaks Superman's sacred rule just to
The main problems I have with The Man of Steel is:
A) Stole too many ideas from other films
B) Follows the "Dark Knight" and other formulas too closely
C) Breaks the rule: Superman does not kill
Ideas Ripped Off:
Iron Man: Reveals secret identity to Lois Lane then to the world, like Tony Stark reveals to Pepper Potts, then to the world.
Avengers: Collateral Damage
Captain America; Physique
Green Lantern: Works with the military
Spider Man: Relationship with parents
Thor: Losing powers (fighting against equals)
Batman: Technology and living among other people
Wolverine: Loner looking for work, hiding
From start to finish Man of Steel follows modern movie formulas so closely that it's boring and predictable, even when things are revealed.
Why Superman Does Not Kill, by Jeffrey Taylor:
It may seem passé to some, but Superman’s overarching cardinal rule has (almost) always been to never kill his enemies. Murder and execution are unbecoming of a hero and everything it means to be a “good guy.” Believe it or not, it is one of the most important aspects of the character, even moreso than his superpowers. Man of Steel already has a vocal minority of fans who dislike the changes to the character and his universe that they already know about or simply assume based on previews. If this is a Superman who kills, it would be the death knell for many of the character’s biggest fans.
Even tough Superman kills out of necessity, with the intellect of the character in mind, this just shouldn't have happened. It's shocking and for Superman to not deal with the inner turmoil of his decision it doesn't work for this movie. It leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Most car enthusiasts know the value of a good tuner....But as we all know....what looks good on A Dyno sheet does not always play out the same on the track. Each episode we line-up three contestants, their comparable street cars and strap them to the dyno. We measure their horsepower, torque, and air/fuel ratio.

The winner of that race moves on to round two...the next opponent for best 2 out of 3 heads up races. Winner of the race takes home one thousand dollars and a chance at 20k on the season finale. Every week, the races will be held at different raceways. So... "like" our cars stay tuned! Featuring my friends at Swanson Performance!

Playstation 4 has New Controller, Specs Revealed, Concept Consoles
Playstation 4 New Controller: Known as the Dual-Shock Hybrid, a PS Dual Shock combined with the PS Move technology. Patented by Sony.
The PS4's controller will again be capable of motion-sensing now with improved technology like tilt correction and refined vibration. Don't be surprised if you see some kind of capacitive touch pad controller to combat the Wii U.
Playstation 4 Specifications:
- System Memory: 8GB
- Video Memory: 2.2 GB
- CPU: 8 Core, 4x Dual-Core AMD64 Bulldozer (microarchitecture)
- GPU: AMD R10xx
- Ports: 4x USB 3.0, Ethernet Port
- Drive: Blu-Ray
- Hard Drive: Variable, 160 GB+
- Audio Output: HDMI & Optical, 2.0, 5.1 & 7.1 channels
Bulldozer is Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) Central Processing Unit (CPU) codename for processors released on October 12, 2011 with family 15h microarchitecture.
Bulldozer is designed from scratch, not a development of earlier processors. The core is specifically aimed at 10-125 watt TDP computing products. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt efficiency improvements in high-performance computing (HPC) applications with Bulldozer cores.
Bulldozer is the first major redesign of AMD’s processor architecture since 2003, when the firm launched its K8 processors, and also features two 128-bit FMA-capable FPUs which can be combined into one 256-bit FPU.
Rumor is that the PS4 will make a showing at E3 in June 11-14, 2013. How exciting.
