hmmm, short memories?
I've noticed over the past year or two maybe that my memory is not as sharp as it used to be. I would love to figure out what is causing this.

I don't watch much tv; my husband unfortunately admits that he is addicted to it. It makes me sad but I know that if I do the things I need to do, then he will eventually not have so much free time. (We will be practicing, recording, and playing shows.)
On the other hand, I do enjoy movies. Danny Boyle happens to be one of my favorite directors. Trainspotting was an excellent film. 28 days later ... is one of my favorite films. 28DL introduced for the first time the idea that a zombie virus could actually happen ... in the movie they called it 'Rage' and it was basically an extreme version of rabies.

What got me was how "tortured" Superman was, when it finally came time to dispatch the General and all it took was a twist of the head. Guess he must have been pretending that he was trying to cause bodily harm all that time.
It wasn't just the twist of the head. Louise Lane was trapped and Zod was using his lazer eyes ... it was either zod or louise at that point. I don't think superman wanted to harm zod, i think all the destruction that occurred was because superman was defending himself. It was zod who was hell-bent on destruction. He was 'programmed' to protect his people. It was his 'purpose', the people Krypton were basically test-tube babies, they were genetically modified. Each of them were programmed to serve a purpose.
daniel wrote:Bit of artistic license there too, I guess... he can slam the guy through 40 skyscrapers of structural steel and concrete without a scratch, but just a quick twist and it's over? I guess they ran out of buildings to destroy.
Christopher Nolan is another one of my favorite directors; he didn't direct man of steel but he did produce it. I really really loved the film, notice i call it a film ... i only call a movie a film if it's artistic. All of the destruction scenes were the parts that I would have preferred to fast forward through. I've got aspergers, it's self diagnosed, and the reason why i mention this is people with aspergers are idealists to the extreme, we want to make the world a better place. We have a hard time dealing with this world because we are easily overstimulated.
The character development for clark was amazing ... when he was in the classroom and suddenly became more 'aware' ... he couldn't handle it. It was too much. This scene blew my mind. Then when he was being bullied and was sitting up against a fence post reading a book ... he was pushed or shoved. He restrained from self-defense. After the bullies walk away ... they zoom out a little and you can see the book he was reading ... Plato.
In college, philosophy classes were my favorite. Plato's dialogues ... everything, resonate with me like no other philosopher. I explored Soren Kierkegaard and Jean Paul Sartre in my early twenties when I was in college ... existentialism ... ahhhh-heemm. Yeah, Plato is the only philosopher that I kind of live by and continue to go back and read to this day (early thirties now.)
Clark didn't want the role of superman; he just wanted to be normal. He was forced to play the role because of Zod. There's a similar quality amongst peeps with aspergers ... most of us feel this sense of duty, it's about morals, we can't lie or if we attempt to we don't do a good job at it. Our perspective's on life and reality is far from the norm and definitely not confined in a box.
BTW .. I don't define myself as being aspergers, rather it's not part of my identity ... it's just an condition that explains the best how i am. See, I get misunderstood easily because i don't 'behave' in what's considered to be 'normal'. I don't look people in the eye, I'm faceblind, I take people literally. So, rather than people misunderstand me I'd rather explain to them that i have asperger's so they won't consider me to be rude, insincere .. .what not ...
Here's a hypothesis that could be worth investigating: people with adhd/add .. aspergers, autism (all of which are considered to be on the same spectrum) ... I think that it's quite possible that most 'aspies' (as we call ourselves) are wired in a more balenced way than most people. Wired as in, we use both sides of our brains equally; cross-dominance. I think I've mentioned this before in another post ...
(please see the text above that is in red.)
when i think of 'aspies', i think of x-men .. .i think of the tommorow people ... if most of the aspies used both sides of their brain, then it makes sense ... humans are becoming more balenced then.

I don't like big muscles like that on men, but then ... sports really bore the heck out of me.
