Now I am not a big comic buff but I think that Superman attaching himself to Jeff Gordon just sounds silly. It'd be like if a T-1000 joined up with an organization helping the homeless. It just sounds like something from a bad fanfiction.
But the comic I am talking about is real. It is called Superman & Jeff Gordon First Issue: The Race is On! I am forgoing my usual review style since I am probably going to miss about a million things.
What is the comic about? Jeff Gordon has refused to be sponsored by by Lex Luthor. Luthor gets so pissed off at Gordon that he sends Metallo to beat Gordon in a race. You hear that sound? That's your sanity dying. Hope you didn't need that.
For those that don't know who Metallo is, the comic explains him as one of Superman's most feared enemies. Why is Luthor doing this? Why, Superman has to fight someone in the comic.
Something you might be wondering is why the comic was made. At the end of the comic Gordon shows Superman/Clark Kent his new car. Well, for those that don't know about racing, sometimes drivers will have their cars painted in a different way than normal. In this comic's case: showing a Superman Returns logo.
This raises any interesting point: If the Superman movies exist in this timeline, why doesn't Jeff Gordon (or anyone else) realize that Clark Kent is Superman.
Of course you can tell me to be quiet about that point. The reason being: Was anyone expecting this comic to make sense?

One Year Anniversary Blog Post
It is a good day. It is my One Year Anniversary of serious blogging. A year ago I decided to post my first YouTube video and later I did blog posts. Though I really did start video reviewing things before that starting with The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I reviewed some good things, some bad things, and some things that really left an impact on me.
In this one year I have changed my setup. I have gotten a symbol, changed my blog, and other things. Some things were changed because people wanted them changed, but mostly things were changed because I wanted them changed.
I want to thank my friend Retsam who has supported me from day one. He has supported me in not just my blogging ventures but in my personal life. He is a good friend.
I also want to thank Zack who does the symbol for me. That symbol wasn’t supposed to be as big as it is now (talked about it in a video). He is also a very kind and understanding friend.
For those that wonder if I know about TGWTG (www.thatguywiththeglasses.com) since I don’t mention them or do any of their jokes: my purpose for that is that I’m being my own internet personality. I’m not part of TGWTG so I want to be known as my own person. I don’t mind some people that make references to TGWTG but it’s not always needed.
In place of these TGWTG references I make Terminator references. I have even made videos about the series and my opening (as of this blog post) is made up of Terminator clips. In December I did a series of articles about the Terminator series and I was very happy to do them.
Going back to thanking people:
I want to thank Crysy for being a very good supporter. While she hasn’t helped with my blogging she is still a great friend.
I also want to thank Jessica for being my oldest friend. She has stuck with my craziness throughout all these years.
What can you expect from me this coming year? I want to one day do a review on all of the Terminator movies starting with The Terminators (an Aslyum film). The Host Rant will continue and what comes after that? I am thinking of doing a rant series on my most hated movie, as of now: Tideland.
I want to thank everyone for their support and here is to another great year of blogging!

Black Swan (2010)
I was prepared for this movie to amaze me but this movie managed to thoroughly mind eff me. It is a beautiful masterpiece.
Title: Black Swan
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Starring: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Vincent Cassel
Rated: R
Released: 2010
Rating: 5/5
Basic Plot: Nina Sayers gets the role as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake and slowly loses her mind as she starts to fit the role of the Black Swan.
Symbolism
There is probably a ton of symbolism in this movie but I will keep this simple. The whole movie revolves around Nina slowly losing her mind and becoming the Black Swan. While her actions and hallucinations become darker there are a few parts where she imagines herself becoming a black swan. At one point her legs start to become the legs of a bird and at another point her feet become webbed.
Knowledge About Swan Lake
Some of you might be wondering if you need to know anything about Swan Lake when going to see Black Swan. The truth is that you don't. I went in knowing nothing about the ballet but came out knowing a little about it. All you need to know about the play to understand the movie is explained in the movie itself.
Nina Sayers
This is the person whose eyes you see the movie through. She goes crazy and what she sees is what you see. What does this mean? When she sees a hallucination you'll see it too like it's fact. Nina goes insane due to pressure of the part of the Swan Queen. However, it appears she was going slightly insane before she got the part. Her overbearing mother might be part of the problem.
Lily
Lily is Nina's dark half. It is through Lily that Nina learns how to be a Black Swan. My favorite line in the movie comes from her: You had a lesbian fantasy about me? Was I good?
Lesbian Sex Scene
Could I call myself a reviewer if I didn't talk about this? Yes, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis do have a sex scene together. This is, however, not the only instance of sex used (though there are no other sex scenes). Portman plays with herself a time or two. But the sex scene with Portman and Kunis is the biggest sex thing that happens on screen.
Music
I assume that the music is from Swan Lake and has some significance. Since I don't know that much about Swan Lake I can't tell. What I can tell is that it's very pleasing to the ears.
Final Thoughts
This is just an amazing film. It left me spell bounded. There is so much to look at in this movie and it would seem to be a good idea to see this movie more than once. For those of you wanting a movie night with your parents with this...that might not be a good idea. While this isn't a porno, it does have strong sexual themes to it. Depending on who you are going with, it might get awkward at points. If you find people you can go with where you won't feel awkward, it is still a very dark film. This is not a happy go lucky film. It punches you, beats you up, and leaves you to die. But, if you enjoy that type of film, go and see it! I know I will probably see it again!
