Getting to hyped for Man of Steel

Tomorrow brings to us a friday and for me that entails sitting in bed resting my foot... Well for most the day anyway. Tomorrow is also the 14th June 2013. A day i have been looking forward to for a while now, because tomorrow is the day that Man of Steel is released in good ol' Britain...  

Wait i mean tomorrow is my best friends birthday! Happy Birthday Jake, the big nineteen getting old now my friend!

Right now back to the point! MAN OF STEEL!!!! MAN OF STEEL!!! If you couldn't tell by the caps i am bloody excited for this film! My love superman was caught by the hit and frankly amazing story of Clark Kent, the days before he donned the tight blue suit, the story of a boy to a superman! I feel bad because i haven't yet to watch the old days of superman, the tv show and the films. However i did buy that naff film from 2006 'Superman Returns' A film i still to this day hate, it just wasn't my cup of tea really or maybe i'm still hiding my hate for Brandon Routh for his time is a chuck as a villain...

Step forward seven years to this very day with just under one hour to go until the clock strikes midnight and the highly anticipated reboot of the superman franchise directed by Zack Synder(300, Watchmen) written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy) Produced by the Christopher Nolan, the man behind the epic Batman Trilogy. 

What can we expect from this new look of the Man of Steel, a darker tone for one is a defiant. A whole lot of meaty action with a blend of emotional battles following the boy sent away from Krypton to the alien planet earth. Showing how he becomes the Man of Steel, if you look at the cast behind the film then you should be getting chills down your spine, from the trailers i am already starting to see Henry Cavill as our Clark Kent/Superman. He certainly looks the part, and the shots of him preparing to fly were for me breathtaking! We have Lois Lane played by the glorious Amy Adams, who i'm sure will be just amazing in this role. We also have Russell Crow starring as Jor-El, Kal-El's father who in the last moments of his life sent his sun away. To torment our Man of Steel we have well known General Zod played by Michael Shannon, he so far is the only one i'm unsure about but only time will tell. There is however one person i hope to get a glimpse or mention off at some point during this film and that is Lex Luthor (Hopefully not as Kevin Spacey) 

Its times like these i wish i had a time machine so i could skip the sleep that i need and don't want so i can be hopping to the cinema to feast my eyes on what should hopefully be a glorious new start for Superman for the 21st centurary! Check back this weekend to find out if the Man of Steel is a right first step into the future for Superman and the DC Universe or if its a failure like the last Superman film 'Superman Returns' But for now i leave you the final trailer for Man of Steel, if your not as hyped as i am right now you will hopefully be afterwards. I just hope my t-shirt comes in time!

Live long and Prosper!
My father believed that if the world found who i really was, they would reject me. He was convinced that the world wasn't ready.What do you think?

Trapped by four walls, thank god for Arrested Development

As I scratch a thin line into the wall next to me, I realise it is day six of my captivity in this hellhole. These four walls surrounding me, draining the life from me, sucking the soul out of me! I don't think I can take much more, when will these dark days end. You know what they say, if you can't do the crime don't do the time. Because kids, prison isn't fun!

Mum gets a sneaky photo of me in a
rather terrible wheelchair!

Well I’ve heard its not fun, I haven't personally been there myself (Hope to keep it that way to) Then if I’m not in prison why the depressing opening and title? Well frankly I’m bloody bored. The crime I committed isn't much of a crime but a stupid act on my part... Picking a fight with a wall is not fun guys. It bloody hurts. Yes I picked a fight with a wall, now I do my time, sitting in bed with my foot higher then my heart in a rather scraggy bandage now. The good news is that its not broken, well that took two trips to the hospital to finally find that out but however it’s bloody sprained! I've gone all my life with only ever spraining my wrist and now I sprain my foot, which means I can't do much but laze about in bed moaning about how bored I am!

The only plus is that i get crutches  for some reason a childhood dream of mine! Please don't ask me why because five year old Dan can't remember.

You may be thinking, dude! Seriously why are you complaining its great to laze about in bed all day! I agree but doing in daily really does drive me crazy, how do the people who do this everyday live with themselves? I'm bored out of my skull; if I had any marbles left I would have lost them probably on about day two. However it does have its benefits I have watched back to back episodes of arrested development and finally got round to watching the series I’ve been waiting to see for so many years now, series 4!

Why thank you Netflix for bringing it back! Didn't even have to wait for a week to see each episode unlike the normal airing of tv. Arrested Development returns to us for the first time on our instant streaming screens after being rudely cancelled many years ago (If they can bring this back why not FIREFLY!!!)

However with its return, it comes up with a new way to tell us the story of the Bluths in a series of thirteen episodes, with each episode focusing on the life of one of the family members showing us whats happened in there life since the 

With it's return its changed the formula of the show greatly, instead of following what’s going on with everybody episode by episode it takes a new turn this series to focus on a single character each episode. Showing what they have been up to since the series three finale and how they’re coping now. Of course though they have it in a fractured timeline, literally you have to wait episodes to find out the conclusion to something that occurs in episode 3 and wraps up the storyline in episode 8! While it was a brave shot it almost backfired on them, I’m not to sure if I like this new formula they are using, I preferred how it used to be but I guess if they do another series like this (IF THEY DO ANOTHER SERIES?) it could grow on me...

The one thing that I personally hated was the fact that they only had one focus episode for some of the best characters in the show and it literally had characters disappearing for several episodes before returning. I'm torn; I think that they should stop reminding us about how they were cancelled... It’s mentioned every episode I swear! You got another shot at returning! Shows would kill for that... (Shows like FIREFLY OR CHUCK!) Stop moping about the fact you got cancelled and focus on the future, which could well be another series on Netflix or possibly the film they have been hinting about since there cancellation. Overall it wasn't the strongest return for the show, allowing every episode to be watched back to back leaves you tired and confused because of the constant fractured storyline. Maybe return to the old formula and possibly put a week or a few days between each episode airing. The acting was top notch as always, it felt like they had never left hopefully there’s more to come in the future! (Fingers crossed)
