What an interesting artist. She almost sounds a bit like some of the stuff Cher was doing in the 80's with more Japanese Pop thrown in. Bizarre, yet refreshing. Some Bonnie Tyler in there too. Nice find.
I do love artists that bust out 80s pop nostalgic numbers with modern production. This was an enjoyable listen. Thanks Blood!
#872 Re: The Sunset Strip » 40 Years Ago: The Doors Break Up » 688 weeks ago
Had no idea the Doors put out to albums sans Morrison. I'll have to check them out some time. I was a huge Doors fan back in the day, so I have all their other records.
My sister got me into the Doors, they and GNR were her favorite bands growing up. She used to think Axl was the reincarnation of Mr. Mojo Risen, because they were both amazing lyrasists and they were both fucking nuts.
Nice!! That's so cool. Yeah..The Doors influenced so much. It took me awhile to get into their style of music; but after awhile I grew into it. Van Halen, Queen, Nirvana, The Beatles, and The Who are some of the bands I grew up on and in high school experienced my true rock n' roll favs. Eventually GNR would be part of that equation too.

Hopefully tomorrow... I'm gonna eat at a pizza joint that I used to frequent in little league that I haven't eaten at in nearly 20 years.
Yes folks, I am looking forward to that long of a change.
I feel ya. I went back to old Mexican restaurant in my home town when my family and I were traveling up the road for vacation time. We stopped there and I haven't been in almost a decade. Food was still delicious and has one of the best salsa recipes as I remembered. Kind of pissed they took down this Italian place behind it. They had some amazing pasta and breadsticks if I recall. I also remember the framed gold single of Disco Mickey hanging up on one of the walls and retro glass detail.

Whats that 3ds like? Was thinking of getting one to play the Zelda games, is it comfortable enough staring into such a small screen? I'm not going to end up cross eyed am I?
Well there are a couple versions of the 3DS for any consumer. If you need a bigger screen and interface on the design, I would recommend the 3DS XL. I have the default version that was on sale for $170 plus more than $30 for the game I got and a some extra money invested into a protection plan at Best Buy. You can buy covers and casings for the system to protect it and keep it clean.
Nintendo just released the 2DS which is a flat molded together version that doesn't have the 3D options on it. So I would recommend getting this when it's out or get a regular version on sale and just not use the 3D. It works great for certain games; but the games I'm getting won't really need it much. I'm picking up Mario Kart 7 and then one other game in the next several weeks. It comes in various colors and comes with a ton of features right out of the box. Online Wifi Connectivity (I've tested various websites like Facebook, twitter, and the forum itself. Works ok, I'l stick with my laptop and other computers for the time being), Download play if you have an old DS which I do, Mii games and Stress Pass to connect with friends and meet new people, and other features. You can buy and download free game demos, DLC, and other content through the interface, take digital photos, use the built in mics, and other things. So you are getting your money's worth for the purchase. You are not going to end up cross eyed; but I wouldn't recommend playing for a huge amount of time during the day. Maybe a couple hours and it comes with a re-charger adapter to play for big sessions. Hope this helps. I am going to print out the Purple Rain font logo and put on the face of my 3DS to make it look more badass.

Oh man, if only Christopher Reaves were still with us and healthy, how awesome would a kingdom come movie be with those two.
Oh yeah hell yeah! ..and I can see Axlin's pitch totally work with Returns. I have a feeling Cage hasn't totally given up on the role. He has so much respect and is a big fanboy of the Man of Steel. He named his kid after the character too. I still need to read Kingdom Come and some popular issues in the DC universe very soon. Saw most of them at a comic store near my house awhile ago. Having Reaves play a character on Smallville towards the end of his life was extremely moving for alot of people and the fans. What he did even with his illness, charity, and other things made him become a real hero.
My only problem is while the Dark Knight Returns is a highly influential book it portrays both characters in negative lights. Superman as a drone taking orders from the U.S. govt. (which is almost out of character) and not using his higher Kryptonian intellect and Batman as extremely violent with blood lust and vengeful. Plus Miller has said time and time again that he despises the nature and various incarnations of Superman. So having him work with Snyder on a Man of Steel sequel with Batman that is stated to not follow the full premise of Dark Knight Returns seems a tad odd. I mean they are definitely going to use elements of it, follow MOS's aftermath, and have it improved and justified overall. Hopefully! Let's see what happens I suppose.

Playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on 3DS. It's addictive. Played the original game on Gamecube years ago. My town is 5150

Very strange and doesn't feel right; but I will reserve judgement when I see that trailer or some promo images in costume. I personally think WB are foolish for not going for Karl Urban or Josh Brolin. Hell even Jon Hamm would of been interesting or pulling Keaton back out of left field.
Keaton is WAY too old for this kind of film. Only way that would've worked would've been if they would've set the next Man of Steel film well into the future (thus all the technology in the first film), so it distances itself from Batman Begins and TDK, but not TDKR. And basically do a "Dark Knight Returns" film with the 55+ year old Bruce Wayne, and have Keaton reprise the role. That would've been interesting.
But based on the comic, I always thought the best choice for TDK-Returns was totally Mel Gibson. He's bigger, broader, aged, fucking crazy, and reminds me in real life of everything I would imagine a fried 55-year old Wayne returning to the cape and cowl to be. Still do. Hope that film gets made one day in a dystopian future.
Mel would of been killer in that role if they are going the Dark Knight Returns way. Which I hope isn't the case for this film. Since this is a Superman sequel fire and foremost with Batman teaming up with him during it. If they did a separate Dark Knight Returns film with the studio that would of been interesting. The Keaton thing was kind of joke on my part and some websites suggested it. Having him or Mel do Dark Knight Returns may happen somewhere down the line cause Warner Bros. wanted to do it for years and also this film project. They have the animated version of the comic out in two parts. They will use elements of it for this film and improve on Man of Steel and show how this can work.
