The third time was not the charm! Sorry but The Amazing Spiderman...isn't! I rewatched the movie last night and I stick by my original belief...this isn't my Spiderman and the fact that one of the most iconic lines that ever appeared in a comic wasn't used really drove that fact home for me. Uncle Ben should have told Peter that 'with great power comes great responsibility' and the fact that he didn't just re-affirmed that this wasn't my Spiderman...nuf said!
Thursday morning and here I sit, waiting for the first customer of the day...and post my first ever early day blog...and, drum roll please, the third blog in as many days. Stop, no applause necessary...it's just something that happens. Of course, quantity is not quality but then again, I don't think an over abundance of quality has ever been the problem here.
Hey, anybody out there want to buy a Corvair? With the old man's passing we're left with his beautiful convertible that has more money dumped into it than we'll ever get back out of it but if we're lucky, we'll find it a new home with someone who'll take good care of it and enjoy it more than my dad ever got to...and we'll be able to make sure that mom never has to leave her new apartment and move in with one of her loving children...which leaves me out...not because I don't love my mom...far from it...I'd just hate to see her end up with an accidental gunshot wound when the bullet passes through my skull and finds it's way into her...what? Yeah, a liuttle dark and not at all possible...she'd never consider living in my hovel...she pronounced it a 'piece of crap trailer' and I'd hate for her to face another disappointment from me...the poor woman has had a lifetime of those already...if only I could get paid for being a disaapointment to my mother...I'd be rich!
So, back to the Corvair...interested? Email me and I'll happily send you some photos of the jewel.
Ah, here we go...the first customer and I'm all atwitter with anticipation...hooray for tire sales. Have a great day...or at the very least, have a better day than I will. JT

Holy shit, Batman...another one? WTF? So soon? What the hell is going on?
Another end to a scorching day...and I felt like writing...something. OM has suggested that I get back to TRFW and, hopefully, I'll have a new chapter very soon...maybe tomorrow...no promises.
So, how about that anti-semetic politician who found out he's actually Jewish? Don't tell me that the universe doesn't have a sense of humor!! The first thought after the giggles faded was of Dave Chappelle and that great skit he did about the old black man and his 'hatred'...more giggles!
Watched TDKR last night and was stunned...I think it was that good! Three phenominal Batman movies from Nolan and now we only have to hope that the studio doesn't screw it up when they launch the enevitable reboot! This has been a wild ride for super hero movies. After the staggering high of the Avengers and the 'swing and a miss' of TAS, I was a little worried that Nolan might not pull it off but he sure did. While I don't think it packed quite the emotional punch that The Dark Knight did, it was still a stunning movie and it must be amazing in IMAX. What's next for us nerds...yeah, I lump myself into the category...as long as crotchety old men can still be nerds...hopefully there isn't an age or weight requirement. I know Kick-Ass II, Ironman III, Thor II, Captain America II and, of course, Avengers II are all coming but it's gonna be a while so what's next on the horizon? Daredevil reboot...not happening...at least not as soon as some had been hoping. Wolverine II?..a little worried about that one. The next in The Xmen:First Class? Looking forward to it but, like everything else, it's a while away. The next Dykan Dogg? Hah, just kidding...unless we give the log the perfect acting counterpart...wait, isn't Misha Barton supposedly doing better...health wise, I mean...there's a team-up we need! Just got around to watching RED...what a fun ride!
I'm gonna watch The Amazing SApiderman again...this will be the third time but I fear that I'm not gonna find anything that I missed the first two times that will change my opinion of the movie...sorry, it just wasn't 'my Peter Parker'! Sure, the movie is splashy but Peter was never a bully and he never would have given his word and then conciously admitted his plan to break his word. The real Peter might have inadvertantly broken his word or a promise but he'd never have done what the movie peter admitted his plans to do at the end of the film...breaking his word to a dying Captain Stacey...and don't get me started on a dying Captain Stacey because that would only lead to so many other mis-steps that happened during the two hours.
Ouch, just tweeked my back...time to take my tired old bones home and get off these aching dogs. Ta for now. JT

Ryan for veep? What about Green Lantern II?
Hey guys and gals...or gals and guys...don't want to be accused of placing more importance on one sex over the other. So, been over four weeks and I'm coming to realize that the sense of loss isn't going to go away...it's always going to be there and each day will simply be how I 'live' with it..so, here's some new scribbles. I was inspired to write something new after reading some new chapters from Oldestman...a new Castle story that has a coll slant and I hope he posts it...just to see how the caskett fans react...should be fun.
Now, it was shocking news to me that Ryan is gonna be running for veep with Mitt...but I can't help worrying about the future of 'The Proposal II'(Betty White steps outside her comfort zone with full nudity and a Something About Mary hair gel gag) or 'The Green LatrineII'(not a typo, just saying) or even Waiting II'(oh come on, you're not seriously counting that lame piece of shit that currently bears the title). Sure, I can understand Mitt's desperate bid for acceptance with a younger demographic but maybe Pattinson might have been a better choice if he's tryiung to get the youth vote...also, on the plus side, Rob's got more free time on his hands since the 'trampire'(thanks, Will Ferrel) found another source of protein.
Sorry, I know this wopuld be the perfect place to insert some witty commit and wrap up the whole 'Ryan' bit but I seriously can't think about anything funny about politics...
It's been a while since I've rambled so hold on...holy crap, I just heard that Chad Ocho Cinco's reality show has been canceled! Dammit, there goes the reason I'd been using to convince myself to get cable again...shit, shit,shit...and his wife's divorcing him? oh, you poor guy...you poor, poor guy...you poor, spoiled,narcissitic idiot...what's next? Gonna write a tell all book and go on the circut? Tell us all how it's not your fault? Tell us about the terrible story of your poor, mispent youth? Tell us how you were abused and as a result you, completely unwillingly, became a massive tool who only appears, at least to us poor mortals, like a giant douche bag who'd stick his dick in a pencil sharpener and sell tickets to people to turn the crank as long as people 'cared' enough to watch! You left a reciept for 'milk flavored' condoms where your 'lactose intolerant' wife could find it! You fucking genius! How about a new reality show, Chad? Here's one for you..."Is Chad Smarter Than The Tube Sock You've Been Depositing Your Rachel Bilson Fantasies Into?"...or, how about "Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire Athelete Who's Stupider Than The Tube Sock...caught that one did you? Well, now you can say when asked, 'Yes, I'm Smarted Than Chad Ocho Cinco" but, then again, so can a lot of tube socks...what will seperate you from the tube socks is what you do with the knowledge that you're smarter...and heres the easy part...doing anything besides lying around and slowly stiffening elevates you above 'COC' and the tube socks.
I've been doing some reading...I know, surprise huh? Quistie? Thanks for the smiles. Frea, welcome back to Chuck and thanks for the smiles...Justmyluckyness, great stuff! To everyone else who's writing helped me make it through the past few weeks...thank you! I didn't list everyone and for that I'm sorry...and I say again, THANK YOU!
Dollar store find...Charles DeLint, The Mystery of Grace...I enjoyed the read and the first person to send me their address will recieve my copy, free of charge...really, what's a dollar book and media shipping when I can share something? Don't worry, this isn't some weird come on to find a new place to ship tube socks...I'm only offering the book.
Cheap movies...Into The Blue 2....and I thought the first one was only bearable because of Jessica...The Time Of Dragons...please, if you're going to fuck Melville, at least have the decency to post a 'may cause drowsiness' warning on the label...Danny Glover, what the fuck, man? I know it's a paycheck but I have to ask...did Chad Ocho Cinco secretly write this screenplay? Holy Fuck!!!! And I thought Ankle Biters and Zombie Bikers From Detroit were stiunkers! I'm guessing that the test audiences who first saw this movie could be labled 'peers', at least intellectually speaking, of Chad Ocho Cinco...that's got to be it! HOLY FUCK!!!! If it's not too late, please, if you're one of the writers of this cinematic turdzilla, have yourself sterilized before you inadvertantly pass on your genes...really! And if sterilizatrion isn't an option...invest in tube socks!!!!And Use Them!!!!!
I'm tired and it's time to go home...nappy time. Maybe I'll get back to some scribbles soon...I think I'm almost ready. JT
