    Back form the dead long haired gothy superman with a chip on his shoulder for lex/braniac symbiote unleashing doomsday on the world to destroy major cities in order to make real estate values plummet and then buy up the land?
    I'd dig it the most.
    Lois was going to be Sandy Bullock but she passed so it was probably going to be one of the Friends girls, either K Cox or J Anniston.
    Lex was always going to be Kevin Spacey, and he would be mimicking the voice of Chris Walken when playing the Symbiotic Lex character.
    Why?
    Because Walken was going to be Braniac and when the two villains merged Spacey would mix his Walken impression with his Lex character into Lex with Walkens distinct speaking style.
    All kinds of epic.

    Chris Rock wisecracking his way through the movie as Jimmy Olsen cub reporter.

    It Follows as a DVD rental.

    Ant-Man was pretty good.

    If you haven't seen Mad Max Fury Road, I'd go watch it. It's excellent.

    I never go to the movies, but my buddy had a extra ticket so I went with him to watch Antman with him and it was one of the dumbest, most poorly written, terribly acted, flawed story lines I had ever seen. I literally was getting frustrated watching that shit.

    I can't believe the theater was packed when I went and people watch that garbage. It's so stupid that it made my brain hurt.

    I thought Ant-Man was a fun movie. Well written. Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Adam McKay, and Paul Rudd all wrote the screenplay. They stayed true to the comics which is great. I thought the acting was solid. It could have been better obviously and almost on the same level as Guardians of the Galaxy but I thought it was very solid and one of my favorite of the Marvel films. I wish Edgar Wright had stayed on to direct the film but he didn't have full creative control of the movie so he left. Looking forward to Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange coming out next year. Also Xmen Apocalypse is going to be insane. Not sure how the new Fantastic Four is going to be which is coming out soon.

    Yea but I want to play a lot more.

    Gonna start hitting the golfing range at least a couple times a week to try to get a bit better and want to play an 18 hole course at least once a month going forward.

    I started with Mizuno irons....MX-20s and never looked back. Theh are SMOOOOOTH as butter when you hit them square. Nothin feels like Mizuno form forged irons. Alas, someone knicked my entire golf set from the trunk of my car....and I was about to cry. It took me 12 months to get me set all squared away and some azzwipe stole them.

    Along with the Mizunos, the theif(ves) made off with Titelist driver and 3 wood, TaylorMade rescue club, Mizuno driving iron, Scotty Cameron putter, Cleveland lob and gap wedge, two boxes of Pro V1 balls, and worst of all, my dad's old Ping Zing putter, which I sometimes used because I grew up using that as a kid, borrowing it from my dad, remembering practicing on the practice green with him using thag old putter.....damn.

    Lost 2 pairs of gloves, the divot tool that came with the Scotty Cameron, and numerous tees and othef stuff.

    I got so discouraged, I havent gotten he strength to start all over.

    Anyway, I can only speak about irons, but if I was going to go back on the horse and buy a set, I would not hesitate to go back to Mizuno. If you are a scratch player, go with the numerous Mizuno blades and muscle-backs. Even for blades, they play so well and smooth. If yoy are a middle-handicap, go with the JPX line, but always go for the Pro forged models, with no offset.

    Unfortunately, the Mizuno drivers suck. Id stick to Titlelist if you are a low handicapper, but if not, I've always liked Ping drivers. Stick with the Scotty's for a putter. Wedges....cant help you there. My short game sucks big wang, and Cleveland, Vokey, wouldnt make a difference.

    Rescue clubs, alot has changed. Heard good things about Adams, but havent tried.

    If you want real high-end irons, look into Miura. All their clubs are hand forged, and custom. I've heard rumors that they are legendary, that some PGA pros play them, but are badged "Titlelist" or what not because of sponsorship issues. Very few stores sell them. Never played them, so couldnt tell you how good they ars.

    Cost a pretty penny.

    Anyway, Mizuno is the poor mans Miura.

    I'm a Cleveland man when it comes to golf. Just wish I could hit the course as much as I used to. Bulking anyway, my swing will be even uglier.
