December 12th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
It doesn’t get any more lame than Superman, but I’ll be damned if that trailer didn’t kick ass.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Writing and producing but not directing it, correct?
December 12th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
We’re clearly not spending enough money on education.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
Not even Victoria’s Secret models could make me watch that video. When is a plane carrying Justin Bieber gonna crash? Yeah, I said it.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Those “Bumfights” videos from years ago are some of the most fucked up I’ve ever seen.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
What is life like on the Notre Dame campus for football players?
the dorm mentioned is where I lived while there
December 12th, 2012 at 8:45 AM
Yes. He would help balance out the shitheads that are in there.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
mostly producing it. david goyer wrote the script, but nolan oversaw it. Pa Kent isn’t fucking around
December 12th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
what the fuck was that horseshit?
December 12th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Well, I’ll be…someone in the media does recognize this:
“There are some who hold the football program accountable for two deaths in 2010: a video manager whose crane toppled during a high-wind accident at practice; and a female student at neighboring Saint Mary’s College who committed suicide not long after alleging she was sexually assaulted by an unidentified player. The player, who was not charged with a crime, is on the current undefeated team.”
December 12th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
so is this police brutality?
Did you watch the video?
Hey Alabama fans, you nervous about losing Nick Saban? [AL.com]
This was mentioned by many of us on Monday, but it is worth repeating… Lombardi is the fucking worst.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
The ACC Championship game between Florida State and Georgia Tech was so interesting, it was the least viewed ACC Championship game ever. Nobody watched the Conference USA Championship game, either
so, we’re getting a post about the declining popularity of college football, right?
December 12th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
i had to read it again, it was that bad…holy shit, brandel chamblee needs to just stop talking in general. when he first started making a name for himself, he was great…now? good god man.
i mean, his attacks against sean foley aren’t just petty and dickish, in a craig james-fashion, they’re just rooted in falsities. like he has absolutely no idea what foley’s about or trying to do with tiger, yet slams him for this false reality he’s imagined in his head. it’s fucking absurd.
dude, get that link out of there. it’s straight dogshit bro.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
U.S. was actually higher than I was expecting.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:54 AM

Diane Lane as Clark’s mom. Added bonus.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
Doubt it since title games show what expanded playoffs on short notice for the teams does for attendance/interest
December 12th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
Not me, I’ll let the shootings happen, then watch it comfortably from my couch a year after everyone has seen it.
/Just saw Dark Knight Rises
December 12th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
Doubt it since title games show what expanded playoffs on short notice for the teams does for attendance/interest
but ratings, Butters, ratings are everything.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
the year 2009 on the final round scoring average chart on page 3 has an asterisk that mentions the sex scandal. a) why? b) what does that have to do with final round scoring average? c) it happened at the end of the year anyways when there was only one more tourney (that didnt count towards pga stats anyways), so why even fucking mention it when talking FINAL ROUND SCORING AVERAGE.
i guess that crap is what passes as journalism in selena roberts’ head.
December 12th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Is there anything left to cover in the Superman mythos? Between the movies and that TV series, what is left?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
How does he shave that beard? No razor made by man could cut those super hairs…he use a sharp piece of Kryptonite?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
They really should just man up and do a shot-for-shot remake of the Director’s Cut of Superman 1 (combined 1 & 2). It’s all downhill after that.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Spence, would it be fair to say you eat pieces of shit like that for breakfast?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Nobody cared. Also didnt help that it came on right after the SEC Championship game, which was really a national championship semi-final and came down to the final play…after that, who wanted to watch FSU and Georgia Tech?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Maybe there is a storyline about Clark Kent/Superman’s little known hipster phase in his early 20′s.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
“She started a fire in a bedroom fireplace and closed the flue. When death did not come quickly enough, she went downstairs to the kitchen and turned on the gas. For extra measure, she slit her wrists. Stereo speaker wire was her final weapon of choice. She took a length of it back upstairs, lowered an attic ladder and hanged herself from it.”
Good job, good effort. A former dean at Kansas City’s osteopathic college offed herself after being found stealing money from the university.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
Redo the ending, no otherwise great film has had a worse finish than that time-reserve bullshit…I accept Batman surviving a nuclear explosion far more than that
December 12th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
If we are going to let hipsters claim beards we might as well give up as men.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
The trailers were better than the movie. I thought Bane’s ass kicking of Batman wasnt brutal enough.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
It’s reeeeally strange seeing the bigger Hollywood names playing older parents. Lane, Russell Crow, Costner. Was on a flight and saw Michelle Pfeiffer(!) playing Chris Pine’s Mom in something.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
I would like more of an explanation on why people didn’t recognize that Clark Kent was Superman when all he did was remove his glasses and slightly change his hair.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Uh, real “bums” usually don’t have money for bus fare. Still, that old dude with the cane was mean. That “hook-’em” maneuver was cold-blooded.
Ciao, bella! Give me something to grab for.
Team Hips & Thighs, all day/every day.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:10 AM
That’s just Billy Ray Valentine manipulating the market. I’d sell FCOJ if I were you.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:10 AM
?? You mean time-reverse.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:12 AM

Accept it. We are getting old, Rex.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
As I was reading this I was expecting to see “and then she walked the dinosaur” at the end.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Read somewhere years ago, Kent did several things in civvies. Changed his posture to look chunkier. Vibrated his face at high speed (!) to distort it. Affected a higher-pitched voice. I guess being Superman also included Super-control on your body parts.

//minds out of the gutter, people
December 12th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
I wanna see em redo Superman III (i think). The one where Superman starts drinking and shit. Nolan could have a field day with that.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Had no idea. Anyways, Concert for Bangladesh was awesome.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
so is this police brutality?
Did you watch the video?
that video has been posted in a roundup before. One of those brutal cartmaniak things that JMac can’t get enough of. I guess if he has to make one click to see something, he’ll pass.
But it was brutal and inexplicable.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
I always thought Christopher Reeve did a pretty good job of making them two different people where if you spent enough time with that oaf Clark you could resonably not think he’s the world’s most powerful being
December 12th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
norah jones is fine. good job ravi
December 12th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
I was hoping this would be part of Iron Man II when they introduced War Machine. The comics had a good story line about Tony Stark drinking himself stupid and Rhodie taking on the Iron Man duties for a time. But, Hollywood knows best…
December 12th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Zach Snyder is the gayest movie maker of all time. To quote Sarah Silverman, 300 was named after the rating for how gay it was on a scale of one to ten. In Watchmen he inserted more shots of blue cock than were in the graphic novel. He is absolutely awful and I refuse to believe that movie is going to be anything other than more latent homoeroticism for bros.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
“She started a fire in a bedroom fireplace and closed the flue. When death did not come quickly enough, she went downstairs to the kitchen and turned on the gas. For extra measure, she slit her wrists. Stereo speaker wire was her final weapon of choice. She took a length of it back upstairs, lowered an attic ladder and hanged herself from it.”
pretty much a vote against gun control, no? This lady should have exercised her second amendment rights, and saved herself a lot of aggravation.
Also, hey tiger mom, let’s relax and let things happen. No need to be hasty.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
klutz, don’t forget being a klutz.
i guess that was supposed to be a version of bizarro or something.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
No

Oh, Roll Tribe. Can’t believe the Tribe got that good of a deal for Choo.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
As I was reading this I was expecting to see “and then she walked the dinosaur” at the end.
Ha.
But it was brutal and inexplicable.
Yes. Yes it was.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Tigers Money Trap: A decent read but its quotes from others with an agenda. No doubt the Tiger brand has lost value but at this point his play is more consistant with his aging body. And the last paragraph about how previous golfers left the game a better place is a joke. Jack Nicklaus was not a nice person until later in his career when he was no longer winning. I challenge the Selena Roberts to inform us of someone who has done more than Tiger for the game of golf. players have never been richer and the game has never been more popular. I guess maybe its because of Fred Couples and Davis Love III’s spectacular careers and global reach. Get your shit together Selena, all the players know who they owe everything too. Its Mr. Woods to them.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Have you seen the suit without underpants? definitely playing to that.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
There was a part of Iron Man 2 where Stark is throwing a party, drinking himself stupid and taking a leak in the Iron Man outfit, stumbling around, etc…
December 12th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Zack Snyder: Hello? Mr. Costner? Zack Snyder here. I’m directing the new Superman and…
Kevin Costner: I’ve heard! Congrats, but I gotta stop ya right there, partner. I’ll absolutely do it. Love what you’re thinking and I think it’s great. The world loves me, the world loves a hero like me, and dammit, the world needs a hero like me, as played by me.
Snyder: What? Uh…Mr. Costner, I’m thinking you as Jor-El.
Costner: Ohhh…a twist! I can turn heel. Super villain nemesis, it is!
Snyder: He’s Superman’s…Father.
Costner: How did you get this number!?

Yeah – lack of money is the problem. Sure.

Ha. Sorry to ruin your imaginary scenario.
/SROD is the comic dork
//I’m more of a movie dork.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Iron Man was this followed by this.
Hollywood decided to go a happyfun route with Iron Man (product placement!), rather than explore Tony Stark as a character. The fact that Robert Downey Jr is a good actor is the only saving grace, though it would be interesting to see him explore that side of Tony Stark, especially condiering his own issues along those lines.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
My parents are moving and got a bunch of my old stuff out of storage. I found my original Frank Miller Batman, Wolverine #6, the DC where Robin dies and a bunch of other cool comics. I miss being a kid.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Zack Snyder: Hello Mr. Crowe we have a very exciting opportunity for you.
Russell Crowe: (inaudible dialogue mixed with chewing)
December 12th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Great trade by Antonetti. Typical Tribe in that the only transaction process that we do well is trade good players for prospects. Its all the other shit (draft, trade for MLs, hire managers) that we suck at.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
It’s really awesome if you reread it and hear Costner’s part read by Norm McDonald.

December 12th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Correct, Snyder is directing it.
Sadly, Lane isn’t doing nude scenes anymore. I guess she is getting up there.

As for that police video, how dumb do you have to be to do what those cops did knowing it’s recorded?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:47 AM

December 12th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Is that before or after he starts a fight with an entire rugby team?
December 12th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
So good that they can apparently rape chicks and get away with it.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Our education system is the best in the world. Unfortunately, this country has such acute poverty in our inner-cities that education there is almost non-existant. This leads to millions of (almost always minority) students who “drag down” our national test scores and the perception of our nation’s education system. Indeed this a tragedy, mainly for these poor kids with no education and no chance. But do not be confused- the vast majority of Americans are getting the best education in the world, especially if you live in a middle or high-income area.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Good call and Hunt is a few years older I believe.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:49 AM
Glad I’m not the only one who is aware of that.

December 12th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
How was that movie? Worth seeing at theaters or wait
December 12th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
It was the best movie I saw this year, honestly. But you can probably wait because it’s not really a movie that relies on the cinematic experience.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Right because rape is obviously the same thing as adultery. Even you aren’t that stupid.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
Yea I figured that. I was really hoping to find it on demand. Which more movies like that should just release both in theaters and on demand.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
I mean you don’t respect your wife enough to not cheat on her but you respect women enough to not root for a certain team, I think you’re a hero.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
As an educator, I completely agree with this. Problem is, most schools, mine included, are gearing everything towards catering to the lowest scorers and spending less time raising the bar for the ones who do try/care.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
So good that they can apparently rape chicks and get away with it.
Was thinking this the whole time I was reading that puff piece.
December 12th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
You’re spot on here. I wouldn’t be surprised if History is almost completely cut out before too long
December 12th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
First, that whole thing was a giant troll job just because I was bored. But whatever. Believe it or don’t it really won’t impact my day.
Secondly, rape is so beyond the notion of respect that you trying to equate the two into your narrative is sad. Rape is one of the most disgusting and vile things a person can do to another human being.

Yeah they traded for him and Gary Roberts’ negotiating rights, I mean that they paid him way too much money. He is not a 4.5 million a year talent, nor anywhere close.

like we need more Tom Brady talk

If Dwight Howard leads the Lakers out of the playoffs I am giving him the ‘greatest number 12′ title.

If you listened to Twitter at the time he was called up, you’d think he was Cy friggin Young.

some of our finest and most accomplished citizens have had some strange:)

sounds like Bauer is pretty risky, as far as top 5 pitching prospects (which he is/was, from what i can find)… delivery/attitude questions abound. The one nice thing for Arizona, is that they get to tender Choo and get a draft pick, since they traded for him this early. I wonder if that will be the trend… more blockbusters in dec/jan instead of jun since that way the new team can get draft picks and the old team gets more return.

I was pretty excited when he was called up but he had zero command, a bad attitude and a lot of quirks that Kirk Gibson was not having any of.

Absolutely right. At least he’s played to his career levels in Tampa rather than completely gone into the tank. But that’s what gets me about owners or pro sports teams. They all bitch about players making to much and then as soon as a lock out is settled they give out ridiculous contracts the very next season.

If you listened to Twitter
that would be a cool app, if there isn;t already one. like your ringtones for friends, you could make different voices for different twitter follows. would be noisy tho as fast as comments come somtimes

I try not to over-value prospects, but the list of guys i’d trade Xander Bogaerts for straight up basically starts and ends with Mike Trout. Prob take him straight up over Wil Myers, because of position/defense. Dude has some serious opposite field power and has been making waves up and down the Sox system since two years ago, when they promoted him right from the DSL to full season A ball, and then tore up the league as an 18 year old.
Been hearing for two years about his character and work ethic and adjustments he makes, and I’m looking forward to seeing what JBJ and Xander can do, with a little bit of pressure/notoriety attached to them this year.
/off topic, but it’s not like anyone is commenting anyway
December 12th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
I like the trade okay for both teams. Plus you can’t overvalue getting rid of Fat Albers. Just ask A.P.

Spencers would be a bong being smoked and it would immediately make me check Twitter.

Yes, and add Maris while you’re at it.

if you need a vetran’s committee to get in, start your own HOF

This is all true but doesn’t fit the narrative that America is crumbling and will be third world country soon. I’m not a “Mainstream Media” hater/guy and I know we have our faults, but they really do us a disservice with their crap.
Every day I read the comments on websites/blogs and there is always this anti-American sentiment there in the comments, usually by our own citizens, who I feel are conditioned to think this way by media and social platforms. It gets very tiresome.

No nudity but I do remember an episode of Mad About You where she was dry humping a washing machine.

nino, check that celebrity nude site rockchalk shared above. there is plenty in her prime, yes the girls are spectacular and yes, her face is unfortunate
also, nada, the HOF should probably be first balloters only. the cream of the fucking crop. these dead guys and guys who campaign for years after their initial eligibility? if there has to be a lot of argument and convincing, you aren’t a HOFer. are there really that many guys who aren;t in because of writers’ bias? guys whose stats are otherwise convincing? not saying it hasn;t happened, just can’t believe it’s a huge probem

Or in the case of Philly, offer that Weber contract right before the lockout. Fucking absurd.
December 12th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
I guess I should just stop reading The Atlantic and Slate.
December 12th, 2012 at 11:35 AM
I’m a Flyers fan and I was pissed about that contract.
