I shouldn't have but I did

Now against my better judgement I did something that i knew I shouldn't have tonight.  I mean I just knew deep down in the pit of my stomach that I just shouldn't do it but I just for the life of me couldn't help myself. I'm like a child that wonders in to the middle of the conversation with no frame of reference(for all you nerds out there that now what I'm talking about, you're welcome). And because I did what I knew I shouldn't have done, I ended up just exactly where I thought I would end up.  Where is that you might ask?  Well in my bed crying like a baby of course.  Well maybe not like a baby, more like heroic man tears, if you get my drift.

SO I bet right about now you're wondering what could make a grown make cry such manly heroic tears, well the answer to that could be a number of things.  Like for instance, watching that jack ass who shall remain nameless in my book muff two punts and cost the 49ers a chance to make it back to the Super Bowl where they would have won their 6th championship, that's just one thing.  Watching the movie SUPER 8 and being reminded just what it felt like the be a kid and be filled will wonder and excitement.  These are just two examples I thought of right off the top of my head but that is not what caused me to cry tonight.  It was something very different.

Tonight..... I decided to even though I told myself not to I did it anyway and watched the second trailer for the movie MAN OF STEEL!!!! Oh no he didn't... Yes I most certainly did, and wow did it hit me right in the kisser.  And that folks is saying something.  I say that because I'm not the biggest Superman fan.  There are so many people that I know would love nothing more than to tear my head off for saying that but seriously I just don't have that Superman button in my that so many other people that I  know do. I always preferred the darkness of Batman more, or even the cockiness of Iron Man, or the straight badassness of Wolverine.  Superman just never quite registered with me like he did with all the rest of my classmates.

That is until right now.  Holy Balls, it looks to me like Zach Snyder is trying to make a believer out of me, in the same way that J. J. Abrams made a believer out of me with the new Star Trek.  I can still remember the first trailer for that movie there was a line in that trailer that just gave me chills and made me tear up after he first time I saw it, and I knew after that I was going to see Star Trek.  Christopher Pike: "Now, your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes.  He saved 800 lives including yours. I dare you to do better."  Oh my god I was hooked after that. and if I didn't just have a blast watching that movie.

And now comes this damn MAN OF STEEL trailer and damn if it didn't just hit me on every different level.  I just makes me realize how much I love movies. The imagination and wonder of it all.  Reading these comic books as a kid.  Feeling tall and awkward and goofy and completely out of place, but being able to completely lose yourself in your imagination and now seeing people put this stuff that I could only imagine on the big screen.  God it makes me fall in love all over again, time after time.  So please go watch the trailer, or watch this trailer I'm about to post and go see some movies this weekend for god sake, it'll make you feel good.  Trust me I know all about these things.
