New Bandit Trans Am!

Before I saw Star Wars and dived into Science Fiction/Fantasy, the movie that captivated me in my youth was Smokey and the Bandit.  Trans Am Depot has made 77 new modern “Bandit” Trans Ams.  This is a beauty!  If I had unlimited money to blow on whatever I wanted this would be sitting in my driveway.  Even Burt Reynolds came out to help with this project by signing each car.  The picture above is great, but you need to check out the video that Trans Am Depot have put up on their YouTube page:

Batman v Superman is Here!

batman v superman

I don’t care what other people have to say I’m still excited to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this weekend and will more than likely enjoy it.  Is it because I’m a child of DC…probably.  You can’t compare DC to Marvel in my eyes.  They are completely different philosophies and I enjoy both because of these differences.  Marvel is about the every day man or woman receiving powers and how they handle them.  DC is about the mythology and their characters have always been about the characters having god like powers.  And the main reason to enjoy this movie is that it is just a movie to take you away from the real world for a few hours.  When you go in to watch any comic book based movie or any movie for that matter go in to the theater ready to relax and enjoy the story and effects.  Yes you can point out flaws every story and person has them, but you don’t have to tear it or them down.  Just my own meandering…go enjoy and have fun with it! – Richard  Thanks to MovieClips Trailers for this trailer:
