Superman brings with it a lot of baggage. With a cinematic history, and of course, an even longer one in the pages of the comics, certain segments of fans are expecting Zack Snyder's upcoming "Man Of Steel" to at least pay tribute to its predecessors in some fashion. Portions of various fanboy quarters thrive on this kind of stuff, like a reference to "Superman II" is an entry to a secret club. But of course, with next summer's blockbuster being shephereded by Christopher Nolan and penned by David Goyer, it seems they are wisely avoiding going down that path.
Michael Shannon recently sat down with the very energetic Carrie Keagan of VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" (see below) and when asked if he would say the famous phrase "Kneel before Zod," the already uncomfortable actor replied, "I guess I shouldn't say, but… Well, I don't say that in the movie." And you what? Great, we've been there, done that, let's do something new.
Over the past year, we've seen a few movies bend overselves to wink and nod at a fragment of the audience, usually to the picture's detriment. Remember the "untold story" from of "The Amazing Spider-Man"? What's remarkable is how it pretty much retold the exact same origin story we've seen all over again. And then there's last weekend's "Wreck-It Ralph," which found geeks gushing at all the nostalgic videogame characters and little references to gaming ("Contra" code!) to the point that they overlooked the movie's generic, princess story arc that Disney has rehashed a thousand times.
And then there's this weekend's "Skyfall." I'm in the minority who didn't much care for it, and without getting too far into spoilers, the film's adherence to the various tropes of what the Bond movie has to feature -- a girl, a gadget, an exotic location -- coupled with the acknowledgement of its 50 years of age, leads to a movie that sags under the weight of having to fit into the framework of a "Bond movie." I long for the time when the Bond producers give a writer/director free rein with character -- it would be amazing to see what Bond could be become if each movie didn't have a set of criteria it needed to checklist each time out.
But the problem is, studios believe audiences want the familiar, not the adventurous or different. But as Nolan proved with his Batman films, taking a different approach and tone, and creating a unique narrative, that is still respectful of its source material and origins, can do wonders. Let's hope that line of dialogue not being included is just one of the many things Snyder, Nolan, Goyer and co. have jettisoned to create a Superman movie that is truly new and fresh.

So you want a Bond film ... to not be a Bond film. Great idea. Who needs women or locations in a Bond film, anyway? Who needs action or excitement? Isn't the appeal of this series that this guy is a killer? Let's just have a Thomas Harris-style film in which this guy just kills people and never gets laid, instead ... oh God, in order to understand why a Bond film works or doesn't, you have to understand the appeal of the character, which Kevin clearly doesn't. The reference to 'The Amazing Spider-Man' proves that Kevin doesn't understand what he is on about, and will cite anything, despite its inappropriateness. TASM didn't feature any of the nods or winks that Kevin accuses it of: in fact, it desperately, desperately tries to avoid them, at all costs: "hey Peter, there's this thing called responsibility ... I mean, acceptance. And you have to accept your powers ... I mean authority."

You have to have "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" God, I hate Zack Snyder all of a sudden trying to pretend he's a serious filmmaker.
james | November 7, 2012 8:21 AM
I'm inclined to agree with you about SKYFALL - although I disagree that's the reason for its failure. I think the filmmakers DID try and do something different, they just did it poorly. It was just such a poorly told story. It had a bizarre sense of stakes, asking us to invest in a story which was actually morally misguided, a lack of plot which meant the movie basically ended half way through, a villain whose insane competence then didn't tally with his subsequent insane lack of competence, as well as plot holes and lost plot threads and abandoned character development and... the list goes on. And don't get me started on the Aston Martin.

I agree with the sentiment of this piece. I thought Nolan had begun to distance himself from this about a year ago? Understandably he'll have a producer or executive producer credit, but I thought I'd read here? that he'd moved away to concentrate on Batman and distance himself from 'Man Of Wood'. Who cares?
Kneel before Terence Stamp.
DG | November 6, 2012 6:16 PM
Well said about the Bond franchise. I think Snyder Might have been a genius choice too. Nolan's Batman films changed the genre so forcefully that it is now mandatory for every CBM to tyr and feature 'realism' whether it suits the material or not. In a lot of ways hiring a director not especially known for realism is a good sign that the creative forces behind this movie are challenging themselves and not just sticking to the trend they helped create. In other words realism has been a good thing for CBMs overall but it's starting to feel predictable.

Good point. I think Nolan's involvement will save this from being another generic superhero origin re-hash. I'm expecting a poetic, grand, almost philosophical story about big questions. Hiring Snyder might have been a rather genius match with Nolan's focus on depth and substance, mixing the visual richness with complex characters and genuine drama. Could be next year's best superhero film.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Is that Anya Hindmarch riffling through our kitchen cupboards again? That's what it felt like at her wildly entertaining Fall '14 show yesterday. As soon as the crowd took their seats, there were cues to what was coming—namely a bunch of fit male models in ballet shoes. We were then told by PR not to step on the holes in the floor…the plot thickens.
Sure enough, to the tune of a joyous, happy soundtrack, the bags marched out. The first boasted a portrait of Tony the Tiger from the Frosted Flakes box, followed by Cocoa Puffs, The Kellogg's rooster, and Daz (basically the U.K. version of Tide detergent).
All of this was presented by models on a conveyer belt pushing shopping trolleys. And those trolleys kept getting fuller with handbag goodies: a clutch in a tubular shape of Digestive biscuits, then clutches in colors of the English chocolate Quality Street, with its distinctive, jewel-toned foil wrappers, then the Swan matches every English household has for lighting fireplaces or gas stoves. We'll never look at a mundane shopping trip the same way again.
Colorfully striped clutches with oversize tassels followed, which balanced the whole look off nicely. Also on offer were scarves, new to the brand, which were printed with smiley faces.
Then it was showtime: The male models suddenly shifted into dance, toeing the line between the floor and the (still moving) conveyor belt against the strains of Judy Garland's "Get Happy." Holes in the wall suddenly had trumpets and basses thrust through them—body-less, though, as the "musicians" were on the other side. The final touch? At the last moment, hands…jazz hands popped through the holes in the floor, causing this writer to jump out of her seat. The audience was filled with grins—Anya Hindmarch helped the fash pack find its funny bone. And she created some of the most covetable bags of the season in the process. Relive Hindmarch's elaborate runway production with the exclusive debut of her Fall '14 video, above.

LIBERTY, Texas (AP) - One of six men who have pleaded guilty in the repeated sexual assault of a young southeast Texas girl over a three-month period in late 2010 was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison, the term he agreed to in his deal with prosecutors.
Jared McPherson, 20, who pleaded guilty earlier this month to a count of aggravated sexual assault of a child, didn't say anything in the Liberty courtroom before he was sentenced and taken into custody. Three other men who accepted plea deals that also call for 15-year prison terms were to be sentenced later Friday.
The four are among 20 males from nearby Cleveland, a town about 45 miles northeast of Houston, who were charged with sexually assaulting the girl, who was 11 years old at the time. Prosecutors say the girl, now 13, was assaulted on at least five occasions from mid-September through early December 2010. Police began investigating that December after a classmate of the girl's told a teacher he had seen cellphone video of men having sex with her.
All six juveniles and six of the 14 adults charged, including those being sentenced Friday, pleaded guilty. The only defendant to opt for a trial, Eric McGowen, was convicted in absentia last month and sentenced to 99 years in prison. McGowen, who had been free on bail, skipped out during a break on the first day of testimony, which included the girl's tearful recounting of the attacks and McGowen's role in them. He was arrested two weeks later in Houston.
Neither prosecutors nor McPherson's attorney, James Evans, would comment after the hearing, citing a gag order in the case. McPherson's family members, who attended the hearing, also declined to comment.
McPherson and the other three defendants being sentenced Friday - Timothy Ellis, 20; his 21-year-old cousin Rayford Ellis Jr.; and 23-year-old Kelvin King - accepted their plea deals after McGowen was tried and convicted.
The cases against the other seven adult defendants are pending.

I sometimes get discouraged, as I'm sure you have seen, so I'm creating a virtual treasure chest where I collect blogs, tips, articles, uplifting quotes, and things that people have said to me to encourage me along the way.
This is my treasure that I will sit and browse when I get discouraged by the things that come against me.
Today, I read a blog by Coach Nicole. In it I found a nugget to add to my treasure chest along with the entire blog that she wrote. Here it is, along with the link to her blog so you can read it yourself:
"Break it down:
One step.
One minute.
One mile.
One workout.
One choice.
One bite.
One meal.
One hour.
One day.
One week.
One pound.
As long as you're moving forward, you will eventually reach the top."
I'm going to make this part of her blog into a colorful, motivational poster to hang on my wall, and I'm also going to pop this nugget into my computer to design a beautiful card to hang on the cabinet in my kitchen where the tempting foods are.
And speaking of tempting foods, I don't want to completely remove them from my home. I want to learn to eat them in moderation so that I can live a "normal" life like everyone else, and not like the anorexic/bulimic extreme woman I used to be.
It's shaping up to be a beautiful day outside. I better hit the road before it gets too hot to do my walk/run toward the "monks".
Party on!
Sorry! I forgot to add the link to her blog. Here it is:
I want to lose 1.4 pounds this week and I'm not exactly sure how to do that.
So I'm going to set this up as an experiment and see what happens.
Hypothesis: If I eat 1200- 1250 calories, drink, 8 glasses of water, and walk for 2 miles, every day, I will lose 1.4 pounds
Now, I just have to put together a menu that will equal that amount of calories and stick to the walking program.
edit: I had to change my Hypothesis because I forgot to add the water!
I called my daughter yesterday to check on her because of the flooding in her area.
In the background, I could hear my 5-yearold grandson jumping up and down and begging to talk to me. The he said, "She's..." (something I couldn't understand over the phone)
My daughter started laughing and replied, "Oh, she is? Well, ok, then, hold on a second and I'll let you talk to her."
Then my daughter, still laughing, said to me, "He said that you are his famous girlfriend."
That boy stole my heart years ago and soon, his brother will be here to make sure they keep it.
And I'm the blessed one for it.
I was introduced to tracking my nutrition several years ago by a nutritionist.
I hated it.
Reintroduced to food tracking again about a year and a half ago when I entered the free wellness program through my family physician, I was resistant to it. Even so, I gave it a go, learned a few things about it, and saw that it might be beneficial.
Here I am again...tracking my food.
This time, I really like doing it!
Here's why:
1) Tracking my food causes me to pay attention to what I am eating
Since "the wake up call" last Saturday, this is really important to me.
2) Because of food tracking, I read labels, and am becoming more aware of the nutrition make-up of the foods available to me
3) Tracking my food is helping to make better choices in the foods I eat.
4) The anxiety I have felt surrounding food is falling away because I am tracking what I eat.
I know that I am not living a lie any more. I am being truthful, accountable, and good to myself. There is a calming effect taking place from this consistent behavior of tracking my food and walking three days per week (discipline).
5) I am learning to be consistent by tracking my food.
6) Tracking my food is helping me to not restrict my calories too much, nor to overeat.
7) I found out by tracking my food that I can eat a little bit of a "treat" without totally destroying my eating plan.
I have learned that the saying "all things in moderation" is definitely true, and I can actually eat anything I want to eat as long as I measure everything and don't overdo any one thing.
8) By tracking my nutrition, I am learning whether or not I need to adjust the amounts of sodium, various fats, fiber, carbs, protein, etc., in order to eat a heart-healthy, diabetic-preventative diet.
9) Because of tracking my foods, I'm learning what a REAL serving size looks like.
When I was anorexic, I would restrict my portions so much it was ridiculous. When I was bulimic, I just ate out of the box. And forget going into restaurants try to find out what a serving size is because they give you choices or serve you what they want you to have, and every restaurant is different, except in Texas, where "everything is BIGGER."
10) I'm learning, through tracking my food, to love myself in a practical way.
Party on!
OK...so here is my mileage so far on my walk/run toward the monks at the Abbey at Subiaco, Arkansas (a total of 205 miles from my house), and a link to the blog I wrote that tells the whole story (for those of you who may not know what I'm talking about).
4/29/2013: 207 - 2 = 205 (I wonder how much thinner and healthier I will be when I finally arrive?)
5/07/2013: 205 - 2 = 203 (I'm back from out of state and back on my virtual party trip.)
5/09/2013: 203 - 2 = 201
5/11/2013: 201 - 1.6 = 199.4 (Big dogs loose on property at corner; didn't want to go near them to finish 2 miles and don't know the mile markers to make it up if I walk the opposite direction)
5/14/2013: 199.4 - 2.4 = 197
5/16/2013: rained out
5/17/2013: 197 - 2.5 = 194.5
5/19/2013: 194.5 - 2.8 = 191.7
5/21/2013: 191.7 - 2.4 = 189.3
5/23/2013: 189.3 - 3.7 = 185.6
5/27/2013: 185.6 - 2.5 = 183.1 (I think I had a Fibro flare after the last walk/run. And Saturday, I had a reaction to the sun while I was mowing, so no walking for several days until today. It feels good to finally be back out there!)
5/28/2013: 183.1 - 2.5 = 180.6
5/29/2013: 180.6 - 2.5 = 178.1 (28.9 miles so far)
5/30/2013: thunderstorms and tornado watch...didn't run
5/31/2013: 178.1 - 2.5 = 175.6
Hmmm...19.4 miles so far, BUT... (update: 5/31/2013...31.4 miles so far)
I'm getting stronger and going farther each day and week that I go out, so these miles toward Subiaco will begin to add up much faster now. In the next couple of weeks or so, I will be clicking off about 15 miles per week (5 miles per day/3 times per week is my goal). I'm really excited about that! I don't know if I'll ever become a runner, but that's ok. I can still walk for looooong distances with intervals of running, even if I never run the entire distance.

As talented a producer as there is, Jimmy is also a celebrated photographer and artist and last year created his Ultramajic project, designed to encompass and meld all of his output, be it music, design, installations and photography into a multi-sensory experience the likes of which have never been seen before, turning Jimmy into multi-media Demi God in the process.
What we're really interested in as far as Bestival is concerned though are the great man's talents behind the decks and luckily Jimmy just happens to be one of the finest techno DJs on the planet and one we can't wait to welcome along to the mayhem.

"Excellent quality, sturdy card and envelope. Loved the design and quality of the pictures printed . Came a couple days before expected. Received many complements!"
"My husband and I loved this card for the vintage/retro vibe! We also loved that you could select a format in the 5x7 instead of the 7x5...not many cards have this versatility. We chose the pearl white shimmer paper this year and thought it turned out great! Our family really liked the pearl white shimmer paper and stated that it really looked nice! We live on the Big Island of Hawaii and this card really showed off our lights in our mango tree!!! Thanks or as we say in Hawaii - Mahalo!"
"I arranged for a special photo shoot last summer to be done in an old abandoned factory in my hometown and our photographer took a dramatic long shot of my husband and I in each other's arms. I really wanted to use it for our holiday greetings but couldn't imagine how to pull it off and this card layout was the perfect frame, with just the right touch of whimsy and cheekiness! It was on great card stock and the printing was flawless, AND it arrived early. Perfection!"
"Had a hard time choosing just one photo. Love the layout of the photos and the striped back. Ordered our cards on Mon, received them Wed. The pictures looked just like our proof amd we were proud to share them."
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."

About Georgia Theatre
While Orvold and Greene worked to preserve the setup and overall feel of the original Theatre, they also welcomed the opportunity to make numerous improvements including building a larger stage, adding a third viewing level, bigger dressing rooms and bathrooms, and upping its capacity to hold over 1000 guests. Patrons will be greeted by the original marquee and brick walls and may also spot an impressive support beam that withstood the fire. The enhanced venue also features reclaimed wood from the original venue that will be used for the bars and as decorative pieces throughout the building. Old breaker boxes that no longer work and part of a historic underground coal tunnel will be in public view in the basement. The new building was also designed in a way that the duo coined, industrial deco, creating a modern feel with industrial elements and sweeping curves.
Tom Russell has recorded 25 records and one DVD. His songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Doug Sahm, Nancy Griffith, Joe Ely, Iris Dement, Ian Tyson, KD Lang, Suzy Bogguss, Ramblin´ Jack Elliott, Jeff Walker, Dave Van Ronk and other great artists.
Russell credited, along with Dave Alvin, of inventing the Americana radio format with their Merle Haggard tribute 'Tulare Dust' in 1994. The Columbus Other wrote: 'Russell seems to have invented, and keeps re-inventing, American roots music...! He´s the strongest live performer we have seen in years.'

Order Up at The 19th Hole Restaurant in Anderson
There have been people who open restaurants in old train cars, in former mills, in historic houses and even out of a truck. But if a restaurant is a part of a golf course, most people would assume that means hot dogs, beer, bagged potato chips and some fries if you're lucky. Not so at the 19th Hole Restaurant at Cobb's Glen Country Club in Anderson. It is turning out some fun, unique and tasty dishes for lunch and dinner right off the first and 18th green, and it is ready to serve any and all with an appetite.
More than two years ago, Judy Booker took her extensive knowledge as a television meteorologist, a real estate agent and a former owner of the Kitchen Emporium and turned it to the restaurant business. Since then, she has tried a few different things with the 19th Hole Restaurant, but finally feels like it has the right recipe to draw folks in, even if they aren't members of the country club.
Located above the Cobb's Glen pro shop, the 19th Hole is in the same spot the snack shack had been for years, but the menu is a far cry from the good ol' days of golf course culinary fare.
There is no sign to tell you it's the 19th Hole Restaurant, but park in the main lot of the golf course and head over to the first door you see and you are inside the eatery. The space for customers is huge and holds more than a dozen tables with a large banquet table toward the back and about four outdoor tables on the deck overlooking the practice putting green and the course itself.
Lunch is served Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to around 7 or 8 depending on the crowds coming off the course. It also is open as a meat-and-three from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday for those coming off the course, heading on the course or just looking for a bite on a lazy afternoon.
Lunch is pretty classic and includes sandwiches, baskets and salads along with beverages like iced tea, sodas and beer. The Club sandwich is a favorite among the golfers and is filled with ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo stacked triple. It also has a French dip sandwich stuffed to the max with hot roast beef with au jus. From there, you dive into the Reuben, the Cuban or a cheeseburger as well as the signature sandwiches, The Birdie (a grilled chicken sandwich) and The Eagle (a hot ham and cheese sandwich).
All the sandwiches are served with fries and run between $7 and $8.
The baskets, on the other hand, are served with chips and have been designed to hit the course with you. There is a hot dog basket for $3, a ham and cheese sandwich basket for $5, a chicken salad with lettuce and tomato for $5 and even a barbecue pork sandwich for $6. Add that to the Southern classic Bird Dog for $5 and a chicken tender basket for $6 and there are more than enough choices.
Lunch on Sundays is a meat-and-three and can vary, but it usually offers country fried steak, baked chicken or roast beef with sides like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, slaw, cream corn, green beans and more for $10 and that includes tea.
But dinner has been the real star of late for the 19th Hole. Each Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. chef Art Rousse puts together some amazing dishes you would never think came out of a golf course restaurant. They include appetizers like steamed mussels or fired dill pickles and entrees from a slow-roasted prime rib or pork medallions with a brandy cream sauce to a homemade lasagna, seared scallops and grilled shrimp or a blackened salmon. Together with desserts like apple pie a la mode, French silk pie or cheesecake and it's a meal for any occasion.
The dinner entrees are between $10 and $19 and reservations are strongly recommended for Friday dinner service.
Membership is not required to eat at the 19th Hole Restaurant. It is at 2201 Cobb's Way in Anderson. For more information or to make reservations, call 864.226.7687.

Handle This: Your Boyfriend Is Turning Into a Couch Potato
If you were put in a situation like this, how would you handle it?
Your live-in boyfriend had been holding onto his job for dear life for the past six months, but he unfortunately got laid off March 1. Thankfully you still have yours, but you don't make nearly enough money to hold down the fort for much longer. You're a little worried as the economy isn't getting any better, but you're confident that your boyfriend will do everything in his power to find something sooner rather than later.
His first week of unemployment was very productive, but he's since become increasingly lazy and negative. He's on the couch every night when you get home — beer in hand — and he hasn't worked out in days. While you know it's a tough market out there, this is very out of character for your boyfriend — he's a go-getter, not a couch potato! To make matters worse, whenever you try to talk to him about how he's feeling or offer advice or support, he snaps at you. It's a tough situation, so tell me, how would you handle it?

After just about as successful a start as you could ask for (three new franchises, and one mega-franchise that kicked off with the third biggest movie of all time), the Marvel movie machine is moving into its next phase. And with it comes the risk of dilution; we're getting at least two movies a year (plus TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."), and with countless other superheroes also in the marketplace, there's a chance that diminishing returns could set in; what was once a special chance to see much-loved characters on the big screen might simply become a bi-annual check in to see much of what we've seen before.
But if "Iron Man Three" (as it's spelled in the credits) is anything to go by, Marvel are aware of this; the first post-"Avengers" Phase Two Marvel movie hardly reinvents the wheel, but it's the most strongly authored film we've seen from the studio so far, and one that seemingly sees the company move into slightly different genre territory; the film is, for the most part, an 80s action movie disguised as a superhero flick. And more accurately, it's a Shane Black '80s action movie, the "Lethal Weapon" writer and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" director (returning with his first film since the latter, almost eight years ago) mostly proving to be an inspired choice to give the series a fresh lick of paint.
As the film opens, it's some time after the events of "The Avengers," and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) can't sleep, his world expanded by gods, aliens and wormholes. Even his relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) has suffered, as he spends all night tinkering with his suits, and his mood only worsens with the coming of the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), a fearsome, Bin Laden-esque terrorist mastermind behind a series of bombings that seemingly have no explosives behind them. Is there any connection between him and Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), a scientist who's approaching Pepper with some potentially game-changing technology that he calls Extremis?
Trailers and promos so far have promised a darker take on the character than the previous two films, but happily, this is no dour Nolan-aping affair; if anything, it's more committed to the action-comedy feel than the previous installments, even as Black and co-writer Drew Pearce manage to find space for some strong character work, this is the film that seems to get under Tony Stark's skin the best, and lets Downey Jr. find new notes to play. In part, it's because they've made the smart choice of putting his vulnerability front-and-center; this is a Stark who's suffering panic attacks, who's screwing up the best thing in his life, and is generally a mess, and it tempers the ever-growing arrogance of the character enough that he still remains appealing. Black also makes the smart decision to keep Stark out of his armor for several of the action sequences, which keeps the stakes much higher than in the previous films.
And those action sequences are, for the most part, cracking. Black's inexperience with a film of this scale sometimes shows -- the final showdown in particular is a little muddled, for instance. But he makes up for it with a fine sense of the beats and gags that make action set-pieces memorable. He and Pearce throw a number of inventive and fun variations on a theme at the screen, with the end result being that the film doesn't fall into the repetitive metal-man-hits-metal-man scenes of the first two movies. Indeed, it's the inventiveness of the film that's probably its best feature; there are plenty of surprises in store, smart reversals and plot twists that are a reminder that summer blockbusters don't necessarily have to stick to formula, even if they're as factory-assembled as "Iron Man Three."
Perhaps the film's most notable surprise, given the way that directors have tended to be absorbed into the Marvel machine, is that Black's voice still comes through loud and strong. From the Christmastime setting to non-sequitur gags to a surprising level of violence (the PG-13 being pushed ever further), to the obligatory scene where a tied-up hero threatens a pony-tailed henchman, there's enough of the director in the film's DNA to make it more distinctive than other stand-alone Marvel pictures. And once Stark and pal James Rhodes (Don Cheadle, getting a decent amount to do this time out) are descending on the container yard at which the film's climax is set, it's clear that Black's fit the superhero movie into the mold of the kind of actioner that he made his name with (the "A-Team"-style closing credits only hammer the point home further).
Which is not to say that the film's an unmitigated triumph. For every truly funny moment (and there are some big belly laughs here), there's a scene with some rather forced banter, or a gag that never goes off -- a cameo from the star of an ABC sitcom that nearly stops the film dead in its tracks being the biggest offender. The film flirts with real-world politics in an intriguing way, but never quite has the balls to land on a point of view. The script neglects to lay down rules over the film's Extremis adversaries -- sometimes they're indestructible, except when they're... not, and it robs the action sequences of some of their drive. And there's a slight sense of "Spider-Man 3" when it comes to the proliferation of villains (there are four or five notable ones), most of whom are pretty underdeveloped.
Which isn't to say that the cast is bad. As ever, Marvel has cast the film to the nines, and almost everyone delivers (Guy Pearce is fine, but doesn't have all that much to play beyond "reptilian," and mostly feels like a disappointing and inferior reprisal of Sam Rockwell's character from "Iron Man 2"). Ben Kingsley seemed like somewhat obvious casting as the Mandarin, but brings something new to the table that proves him to be an inspired choice. Rebecca Hall, as an old flame of Tony's who works for Killian, brings nuance to her admittedly limited screen time, while James Badge Dale brings menace and wit to his cocksure second-string bad guy. And while it's undoubtedly the Tony Stark show, Gwyneth Paltrow proves again that she's the franchise's secret weapon; she's Tony (and the film)'s beating heart, and is put to better use here than ever before.
With this being the third summer in four to feature a movie starring Tony Stark, it's not surprising that at times, the film does feel more like an episode of a particularly expensive TV show rather than a movie. But for all the film's flaws, Black brings enough to the table that it's far from a chore, and if this level of ingenuity and surprise can be maintained, there'll be no need for Tony to hang up his Iron Man helmet any time soon.

hyp | April 24, 2013 5:40 PM
I'll probably be hated for this, but I think this is a really, really, really bad movie. I have to say I've never been a fan of this character, but the two previous movies were funny, enjoyable, kind of smart so I understand why people liked them. (And for the ones who will attack me on this, I think Avengers, Captain America and even Thor are really great). But this one... Wow. I was not alone when I saw it and we were both desperate at the end.
Alan B | April 24, 2013 12:47 PM
Also, the film has a really terrific throwback to the first film in the flashback scene. The dramatic irony is quite powerful, and serves as an interesting way to reintroduce the viewer to Tony's hubris and arrogance.
Alan B | April 24, 2013 11:47 AM
Yeah, don't get the 'Spider-Man 3' comment. At all. If the film is a throwback to '80s action comedies (which it is, including a drug-deal-gone-bad for the inciting incident), then I don't really understand the point why ALL the villains need to be developed any further. OK, one MAJOR character gets underdeveloped in a subplot that needed further expansion, but Dale's Savin, for instance, don't need expansion. Why? Because he is a thug ... that's it, and that's about it. He doesn't need a tragic backstory, nuance or vulnerability. Did anyone watch 'Lethal Weapon' and want to hear about Mr. Joshua's greatest anxieties? No, because - honestly - I don't care about him, I care about the GOOD GUYS: Mr. Joshua, on the other hand, is a BAD GUY who serves his FUNCTION by providing a credible threat to OUR HEROES. 'Spider-Man 3' tries something completely different: it attempts to give ALL THREE villains TRAGEDY and VULNERABILITY, but it fails to incite pathos into these characters because Raimi and co. couldn't juggle all these arcs. Both films, therefore, deploy different approaches to their villains, so the comparison is frustrating. Yes, some villains should have pathos and depth, however - when a character's defining characteristic is that he is a THUG - then it's OK if the villain acts like a THUG. Also, I must reiterate Superzoom's thoughts: thank you Oliver for not being ENTIRELY INEPT in posting spoilers into your review. It's pretty sad that readers need to be GRATEFUL when we read a film review that doesn't ruin the experience for us, but I guess that's what happens in a post-Rodrigo Perez world.
Superzoom | April 24, 2013 5:54 AM
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Oliver, for limiting your story synopsis to one paragraph. I was considering boycotting any more Playback reviews, since the majority of them are 75% plot regurgitation and often give away pretty much every major plot point. Recounting a film's entire plot is not a review. That's how a kid tells his friends about a movie he just saw. We need more analysis and opinion and less plot.

Michael | April 24, 2013 1:06 AM
Thanks for this advanced review! Love to hear that the old Shane Black magic is being preserved. If this movie goes more towards action-comedy than dark brooding superhero melodrama, I'm all for it. The strength of this franchise has always been Robert Downey Jr.'s personality, and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" demonstrated that Black is as kindred a soul as Downey has yet found in a writer/director

Agreed. I like that paint scheme. I think it will be on the car for 5 races this year, and this weekend in Cali is the first. Texas, Indy, Charlotte (All Star race) and New Hampshire are the other tracks. All pretty great events.
Agreed. I like that paint scheme.
NASCAR is going down the tubes fast. Witness the massive amount of empty seats at Bristol. The racing at California stinks also. Can anyone say boring ? I have been following this sport forever. They are hitting new lows with each new foolish rule (stupid chase and championship rules !) they issue and they are blinded by the $$$$$$$ that the networks offer.But hey now, that is a neat paint job.
1 recommendation
NASCAR is going down the tubes fast. Witness the massive amount of empty seats at Bristol.
Agreed. And a points system that does not have the chase in it complicating things. Hand out extra points for winning a race. Give them all something to shoot at. This year's new system is not only confusing, but it is just plain dumb also.
Race at Bristol is too early in the year. Need to move it back to its original weekend, or a week or two later.Auto Club Speedway never has been a draw for NASCAR. Most left coasters don't have the NASCAR fever you find in the southeast, and too other things to do in CA. Basketball, baseball, and college football dominate in the greater LA area. Even the NFL has issues being profitable there.--Smoke 'em if you got 'em
NASCAR fever is no more. Even in the middle of the hot summer the tracks are no longer drawing the fans that they once did. The Dover June race is another example. We used to go there all the time and witnessed the addition of thousands of seats that now are empty and covered with huge advertising banners. NASCAR has itself to blame. They have ruined this once great sport. They cannot leave what was well enough alone. The glory days were in the 80's. Sadly, there are many things that we liked about the sport that are gone forever I am afraid.I thank the mods here for allowing this little diversion away from the usual topics.
It's sitting just under a 100 miles from you. You outta head out....

Logan Morrison was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans. Easy to say he was demoted because of his struggles since the All-Star break, but what fun would that be? He just started to hit again — 4 for his last 11 with a homer and steal.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Brandon Allen
It's trade deadline time, a full baseball weekend, and Grey is at a crawfish festival asking ladies whether he has any chum in his moustache. Anyway, the Indians spoiled the Yanks and Sawx plans by nabbing Ubaldo for a bunch of prospects including their top two pitching prospects (Drew Pomeranz and Alex White).Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ed Wade's Toupee has made it clear that he's trying to move Hunter Pence in a trade. Why would the Astros want to hold onto their best player? He just gives his fans false hope. False hope is worst than no hope.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Giants brought Brandon Belt back up from the minors where he was batting .293 with 3 homers in 12 games in July. Last time he was recalled it was the Giants doing their best fill-a-Buster and Belt was a bench bat.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Trading season is upon us and Leo Nunez and Heath Bell could be out while Mike Dunn or Mike Adams could be in. And K-Rod is 5 minutes ago, according to Jessica Shaw. Every time Bell seems more likely to be traded first, Jeffrey Loria whips his checkbook onto the Marlins GM's back to trade faster.Please, blog, may I have some more?
It was a big day for one of my favorite mancrushes, Brandon Allen, as he was called up. In Triple-A this year, 18 homers, 7 steals and a .426 OBP. He's cut from the same cloth as all the donkeys that have come before him.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I always thought Bobby Parnell was the little black kid in the movie, Role Models, but I stand corrected. Now I think he's the new closer for the Mets. At least that's what I hope. On one hand, I feel like the Mets will want to see what Parnell can do in the closer role.Please, blog, may I have some more?
June is an exciting time. Cellar dwellers have a chance to see the "Hope of their future," trades become relevant and prospects get their chance to prove to the world the hype is legitimate. Truth be told, more often than not, it becomes a game of small sample size paranoia.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As of May 13th, Eric Hosmer has started his early MLB career slashing .280/.387/.600 in 25 at-bats with 2 home runs, 5 RBI and a 7:5 K:BB ratio. Granted, it's a small sample size but his start reminds me of two recent rookies who were similarly hyped: Jay Bruce and Ryan Braun.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Rehabbing a broken hamate bone, Domonic Brown has sustained early power upon his return. With two home runs, a double and three singles in his first three games, he looks like he might be an exception to the rule about players losing power coming back from this injury.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Thanks for sharing. I do not see my husband's actions as abusive. He truly wants what is best for Billy, but has an abrasive way of putting things. We talked again about the com college to 4yr school option. I can see his point and the cc in our town has both degree programs that Billy is interested in. I think that once B graduates, and has a definite plan, things will ease up between them.
As for what he said to me, well it is technically true and I was baiting him. The truth is, that he needs to make drastic health changes.
Billy also needs to take charge of his future a little. He, like many teens, would play computer games all day and do nothing else, if we let him.

Perma Fin's lack of surface buildup, which keeps it from filling and obscuring stampings and engravings, also prevents it from hiding flaws such as scratches and rust pits. This rifle had a few rusty spots on its barrel, and you can still find them because Perma Fin doesn't fill and build on a surface as paint does.
I took no pains to remove rust pits, but you could do so with care. It's tough to do it right, though, because you can easily end up with a part that's out-of-round or asymmetrical. Sometimes, refinished rust pits look better than the aftermath of an attempt to remove them.
I was slightly concerned about reassembly, because I figured I'd be sure to knock a couple parts together and scratch them up. I got along pretty well, though - Perma Fin is pretty tough stuff.

Select Route:
Another fun 2-move wonder. Right hand on the hold at the bottom of the left-trending weakness and, no surprises here, jump start on up to the left hand hold at the top of the weakness. One more move to the topout jugs.
At the main area of Kelly's Hill, on the boulder immediately to the left of the trail. See the Bob Banks book for a nice map.
Crash pad if it's handy, or none.
