Today I went to go see Superman Returns with my buddies: Perry and Kingsley. Kingsley's workmate also tagged along (and I only hope that the conversations us three had didn't make her feel uncomfortable). Pretty good movie, it brings back some nostalgic memories of the old Superman movies. They've got a few quips that will even satisfy the most hardcore fan boys (ie. Perry the fairy).
I was quite surprised at how fitting Brandon Routh was as Superman/Clark Kent. He's reminscent of Christopher Reeve's potrayal of the DC superhero, even though he looks a little young. I have to say his hair looked really greasy at times during the movie.
Kevin Spacey was awesome as Lex Luthor, however, the disappointment was with Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. I had no idea why, but her portray of Lois seemed to be deflated and flat. I would of loved Kate Beckinsale to be Lois Lane, not just cause shes hot and I'm biased, but because she could really fit the part.
She could be one hot Lois Lane.
However, the feeling I got from the movie was that every cast and crew member of the movie tried their best to create something special for the fans and in my opinion that really shone through in this movie. So I'd like to say good work the cast. I'm starting to sound like a movie critic so I'll stop there.
We headed to West Edmonton Mall at around 4:00 and arrived at 4:30 only to find out, to our dismay, that the IMAX 3D Showing of Superman Returns was all sold out. It seems like we'll have to go another day to watch the 3d version which I looked, and still look forward to. Perhaps next week.
We went to Moxie's to eat after. After much dilberation, Perry and I (notice the correct grammer,) ordered an "Xtreme Burger", which was "Xtreme" indeed. 2 paddies, bacon, cheese, and mushrooms sandwiched inbetween two buns proved to be too much bite, so we had to dismantle our burgers with a forks and knives. First time that I would have to use forks and knives to eat a hamburger. Boy was that massive.
We returned home satisfied, yet my car's stomach was growling for gas. Unfortunately, the Domo's were closed (I get 7 cents off) as it was too late. To make matters worse, the gas prices increased, rubbing in the fact that I should of filled up on tuesday and not waited till today (my 7 cents coupons only apply on tuesdays and wednesdays -_-). So looks like I have to pay a bit more for my gas for being a procrastinator. I deserve it.
Oh well, today I got 27 as my brain age. But Toro hates me for some strange reason. He won't respond when I say his name. Stupid dog.
I'm think I'll go eat dinner with my dad for a bit on sunday before I head over to Kingsley's birthday party. Haven't seen him since he left before game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals. He'll probably say something along the lines of "Oilerah SUXS" in his chinese fob accent. In which, I will rebuttle, "So does your karaoke singing" and then laugh in his face as he tries to find something to say to me. Thats what happens when somebody leaves me in Study Hall and makes me take the bus home because of my sarcastic comment. HEY YOU SHOULD GET SARCASM! (I love my parents...)
