The Kirk Effect

Just like 9/11, most of us probably remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard the news of Charlie Kirk.  If you did not know Charlie Kirk before, you do now.  On 9/11 I was a Sophomore in high school.  I was in band class 1st period.  I was wearing a blue sweatshirt with big thick letters that spelled ROXY and black leggings.  I did not know what the World Trade Center was when I saw the 1st tower fall on the TV.  I remember my band teacher coming in and turning on the TV without a word.  We all just watched.  As I went to every class that day, it was more news and more news.  All we did was watch the news in every class.  I knew something big had just taken place that I didn't even understand.  I knew it was somber, I knew it was sad, but I didn't quite know the whys and the hows of it all.  In the days following I found out.   On September 10th I was doing reading school with my son on his bed when...

I was recently reminded of a blanket from my past. I'm not really sure why I was reminded about this particular blanket.

The time has come folks!  The world has been saved by the new James Gunn Superman!  I mean that very literally!  It is James Gunn as Superman! As you might expect, I have had some interesting interactions with people online.  Before I get to that let's talk about the movie.  I have not seen this movie.  I am not a film expert or movie critic.  I'm not an expert on acting or CGI.  I'm not a script writer or a movie creator.  All in all, I think I'm pretty easily entertained.  I love movies and I love to be entertained by them!  I love a good story accompanied by great acting and a creative script!  I have admittedly, really enjoyed all versions of Superman that I've seen.  I'm not even sure if I've seen all of them, minus this one.  I'm also not a comic book junkie.  I have enjoyed listening to the many reviews on this movie, good and bad.  I'm undecided on seeing it in the theater.  I probably will wait...
