I'm going to spend some time trying to figure out how that reference applies to me.

And while you're at it, reflect upon your mistakes and feel bad about yourself!

Either that or Raditz. Pick your poison; you'll get the same power level no matter what.

This is off the topic of Dragon ball z references, but I was listening to AMC movie talk and they were addressing Captain America not having any super powers. They were saying that he's supposed to be at the peak of human potential so that with his elite training he can go toe to toe with anybody. I'm kind of glad they didn't go that route in the movies. They do try to show that he's not as strong as Iron Man or Thor, but the way he sends bad guys flying when he lands a clean punch or kick is beyond anything an Olympic athlete could do, even if s/he was in an 80s action movie.
While typing this, I wonder if anyone has a counterargument. Seems like a no brainer, but an argument gets us closer to the 6,800th post, which will inevitably be mine!

A few weeks ago while at Wal-Mart's $5 movie bin, I found the original Land Before Time (loved that movie as a kid). Out of curiosity, I looked up its RT score, and found Roger Ebert's review. I miss that man's insights, and though sometimes controversial, his brilliance was hard to deny. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-land-before-time-1988Just read the simplicity of his comparison to children and movie monsters, it's beautiful. He does that while writing it with sort of a shrug the entire time (see his multiple uses of "I guess" and "I think" in the review). On a completely separate topic, Mad Max killed it critically. I haven't seen it yet, but I am super excited to catch it on Tuesday. I think it'll take the #1 spot from Pitch Perfect next week for sure. I was so off on Jupiter Ascending thanks to the sorcery that is the Hall H experience, but it seems that Mad Max is as good as advertised, maybe better.

It's because he's afraid of your Uber conservative tendencies! Admit it! Even Rush Limbaugh has had to hose you down on more than one occasion to cool your jets. Yeah...
