Innovator

There more I read about Phoenix Jones, the more I'm impressed with him. Works by day with Autistic children, has a beautiful wife and son, is an Amatuer MMA fighter with a 16-0 record, then fights crime at night with the support and help of his family.

No one can really say he needs to get a life, he's got one.

I'll see it at the theaters. I liked the first movie, and I typically go to the theaters every weekend when there is not an event or party to attend anyway. Its a typical weekend with the guys. If I like the movie, then I'll get the Blu-ray also when it comes out. Helps I guess that I'm single and have no kids.

One thing I like about Young Justice is the Rebel without a Cause spin it has. They keep thinking that everything the League does is to keep them from growing to be heroes in their own right, but each episode they realize little by little that no one is actually keeping them from it. I kind of wonder what will happen when they eventually figure out, one of the League members is younger then they are.

I'm pretty sure Zatanna's spells are still backwards. I remember hearing the last word for her change costume spell was "kool".

Ok then, instead of waisting a post, let me tell you my story. Me and a friend was coming out of a major event to the parking lot along with so many others that attended the event. The parking lot was so busy with people leaving we decided to just put our stuff away in the car and go get something to eat.

As we were leaving the car, we hear a bang. My friend ducked behind a car, and I thought it was just a car backfiring so I went to look. In front of me about a hundred yards, I see someone shooting at another behind a truck. I didn’t duck like my friend, mostly cause it was only briefly the guy that was being shot at jumps out from behind the truck he was hiding at and towards his attacker and then shoots his attacker point blank in the chest before running off.

The guy that was shot is disoriented and looks around, then sees me. He then starts walking towards me with his gun. I back off behind a car, until he accidently runs into my friend. I didn’t want to leave my friend with a guy with a gun so I step out and stand beside him. We both could see the guy was bleeding heavily, and my friend tells him to come with him to get help. My friend also tells me to call 911, so I did. I was on the phone with the operator, explaining what happened and that someone was shot and needed an ambulance (in spite of my friend’s insistance I leave that part out). Then the guy falls.

I walk over to him and stand besides the guy while screaming at the operator to connect me with someone that could tell me how to help this guy, while crowds around me started gathering and taking pictures. After 10 minutes (several minutes after the guy stopped breathing), she decided to finally connect me with someone with medical knowledge. However just then, the police come and tell me to get off the phone, and wouldn’t listen to me that I was just about to talk to emergency services.

The police then decided that they had to control the growing crowd first before they let the paramedics in. Another 10-15 minutes later we were herded into a section (with much complaining heard from the others), and then the police turned their attention to the now corpse at their feet. They tried to help, but it was too late.

The police corded off the entire garage and everyone still in it was asked if anyone saw anything, I stepped up and told them everything, and they took me to the police station (actually they took everyone to the station). As I was being taken to the station, I got to talking with the police officer driving me, and he showed me his computer when he learned I was a tech head. We both noticed that I was the only one that called 911. Also, me and my friend were questioned last, so we got to hear all the complaining and screaming from the others being questioned.

We told our story, and went home the next morning. Later, I read newspapers about the incident, and the police calling out for assistance from people who may have seen anything. There were hundreds of people in that parking lot at the time, so I assumed others must have seen what happened too. However, when I was called to give more testimony, I was told by the police that me and my friend were the only witnesses to the events in that parking lot.

I don’t think myself doing anything special, on the contrary I hate that I couldn’t have done more, but I came out of that experience realizing that what little I did was far more than any normal person would do, and that thought made me feel ill.

Yesterday, there was a report of a shooting at a school in NY from a gunman atop a roof. Only a 34 year old woman died in the shooting as she shielded children she didn't even know with her own body. I guess some people would call her stupid for doing so and what she did just added to the people that needed help...oh wait...

Unfortuately Pym won't be in The Avengers. They're still hanging on to him until Edgar Wright begins his Ant-Man film, whose script currently appears to be in it's third rewrite.

Or they could just go with the tried and true idiom of never listen to Parent Groups and Fanboys when translating comics to film, they're always wrong...always.

As long as they stay true to nature of the books and tell a good, cohesive and entertaining story, all's good with me.

A prime example, X-Men: First Class did not follow any comic book or animated show whatsoever, but it stated true to the nature of the books and told a good, cohesive and entertaining story. Same with any of the Nolan Batmans, nor did Thor or Iron Man really, neither did Spider-Man 2, and I could go on.

The problem with Green Lantern was it didn't really stay true to nature of the Green Lantern books, and though the story was entertaining in parts, it was neither good or cohesive.
