More Steel Than Man? Or More Man Than Super?

I started this article thinking I was going to analyze it ala Iron Man 3. It's taken a couple of weeks for me to realize this will never get done if I treat it like that. It also revealed something very important about my opinion on Man of Steel-- I'm simply not very passionate it. Iron Man 3 kept me thinking and loving despite its slew of flaws. Man of Steel has moments that grasp me, but nothing sticks. As a blog dedicated to movies and series that reach out to my heart and mind, I've discovered it doesn't flutter to Man of Steel. I'm not alone, but it's not a universal agreement either. There's a reason for that.

A Game of Write Offs and A Storm of Anger

I'm angry. It's the only way I can justify anything I write during this post. My insults to the Game of Thrones television series, and subsequently the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, may be more difficult to digest than the last episode I watched-- but I doubt it. If it's any consolation to the fans, my opinions may be emotionally compromised. Last night Game of Thrones aired the ninth episode of its third season, based heavily on the third book A Storm of Swords. Those who have read it knew what was coming. Those of us who came into the series without any knowledge of the books were blindsided. I'm told many fans of the books found it difficult to continue after this part. Likewise, television fans might be remiss of furthering the story. Are we out of line?
