Am I the only one not interested in the new movie "Batman v Superman"?

I may not be a die-hard fan of films based off comic books, as I was never big into comics, yet I've still found most of them to be entertaining, especially in the Batman and Superman series'. When I first saw the trailer to the new Batman v Superman film, however, I immediately thought, "You've got to be f***ing kidding me!"

Chances are this film is going to do spectacularly at the box office and that I'm in the minority on this, but I find the premise of Batman v Superman to be so ridiculous, it makes Ant-Man look like Apollo 13. My first question is, "Why?" Why is there a need for two superheroes to battle against one another? Is it to fulfill some sort of childhood fantasy, along the same lines of, "My dad is stronger than your dad!" "Nuh uh!"? Is it simply a steroid-induced pissing contest cast by immature adult males? Are we going to continue this premise with these future films?

- He-Man v Spider-man

- Jesus v Buddha

- MLK v Gandhi

- Rosa Parks v Mother Theresa

- Mandela v Pope Francis

Those ideas are ridiculous, right? Then why isn't Batman v Superman? In my mind, this is how such an idea would come about:

Setting: At a bar by the name of I Bet You My Left Nut My Crap Is Bigger Than Yours

Batman: "Hey yo, Thor, I'd like a three wise men shot."

Superman: "Seriously?"

Batman: "Yeah. You gotta problem with that?"

Superman: "No, not at all. But why just three? Thor, make that a four wise men shot for me."

Batman: "There's no such thing as a four wise men shot, you idiot!"

Superman: "Wanna bet?"

Batman: "I do actually..."

Thor: "One three wise men shot and one three wise men shot with an extra shot of Jack"

Batman: "You see? He didn't call it the four wise men shot."

Superman: "How many wise men you got, buddy?"

Batman: "Three"

Superman: "Well, I've got four, so shut it!"

Batman: "You know, I'm starting to not like your attitude."

Superman: "Oh yeah? Well, I've never liked yours!"

Batman: "You gotta problem with someone who saves as many people as I do?"

Superman: "Hey, you gotta problem with someone who saves more people than you do - that person being me? I think you do!"

Batman: "Let's just enjoy these drinks, okay? To saving lots of people's asses! Cheers!"

Superman: "...and to kicking yours! Cheers indeed!"

Batman: "I bet you my left nut I'm more of a man than you are!"

Superman: "Your left one? What, you only have two? I've got seven!"

Batman: "You might want to get that checked out sometime..."

Superman: "Your special lady friend checked it out, and she loved every single one of them."

Batman: "My special lady friend? Which one?"

Superman: "All of them, as well as that guy on the side I've seen you with downtown a few times, Lance Lotsahead."

Batman: "That's not true! ...and he hates giving head! I mean..."

Superman: "Busted!"

Batman: "Well, what about you? Rumor has it you're, eh, how do I say it? Not very well endowed..."

Superman: "Oh, that's bullsh*t! Just last week, I took the polar plunge, and it was still 10 inches!"

Batman: "Whatever..."

Superman: "It's true. How much heat you packing, shrimp?"

Batman: "11 inches, easy!"

Superman: "After taking the polar plunge? That's not what Lance told me..."

Batman: "That's it! I have had it! Let's go!"

Thor: "Hold it, hold it, hold it... There will be no fighting in my bar. If you want to fight, you'll do it outside. Just go out that door over there, stand in line, and wait your turn. Wolverine and Captain America are next. Wonder Woman is the referee. Oh, and pay your tabs before you go!"

Batman: "Put mine on Spawn's tab."

Superman: "Yeah, mine too."

Thor: "Jesus, I hope Wonder Woman kicks both their asses. Those f***ing cheapskate bastard pieces of sh*t! No offense..."

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
