Lex Luthor : He Is Not

Recently, saw Batman Vs Superman, Dawn of Justice. And without getting into the movie itself and NO SPOILERS, The guy who plays Lex Luthor was so miss cast, it wasn't even funny. But not only was he the wrong actor for the job, he is written wrong. UNLESS, they were going for a quirky, goofy, tame version of the Joker, then they have nailed it. Good job. Sinister, brooding, cold and calculating, he was not.

In the end, there were two people that were fighting for the role and Carrot Top had to drop out due to a plastic surgery appointment, leaving Jessie Eisenburg winner by default. Which doesn't make sense, cause they did a pretty good job casting everyone else, but apparently fell on their face when casting Lex. The only thing I can think of is that someone was being black mailed.

In interviews, the director himself defends his Lex, telling people to wait to see what he brings to the table and fans will be pleased. Well after seeing the movie, "What the hell are you talking about"....Lex is a big corney goofball who comes across has a spoiled abused brat of a billionaires son.

So I guess it wouldn't have matter who they cast for the role, if they still had planned on making him the corney goofball type character. At least if you are going to get someone who has the stature of Lex, just look at some of the potential quick google searches. See, was that hard...But...again. Even if they had any of these guys...you can't play Lex the way you did in this movie. Its like if they introduced Joker, and he was sane.

But if you are going to have a Lex who is goofy, quirky, oddball type character. Than here are some Lex's that fit the THAT specific role a more closer to the T.

Fun Fun Movie Trailers

What is coming out in the next little while that I'm looking forward too? Alot of stuff, it may not all be Oscar winning stuff. But lets see how they are.

Batman Vs Superman, as much as most people I talk to complain that this is going to bomb. I'm looking forward to this. DC was not my favorite Comic growing up, but it is still neat to see them on the screen. I have no doubts that this will be enjoyable.


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows,I'm actually looking forward too. It looks like a episode of the cartoon was brought to life. Bright colors, goofy, nonsensical. Granted, I hated the last one, partly because Megan Fox. She always looks like she is ready to say something, but never does. Plot holes the size of the death star and filled with Michael Bayims. But so far, I'm willing to give this one a chance.


X-men:Apocalypse, I think this one is the one I am least looking forward too. It just feels bland, and I'm kind of tired of the costumes that just look like black Ops. (For the X-men anyway) Will I enjoy it as much as Days of Future pass? I hope at least I will like it just as much.


Ghostbusters, OH YEAH!!.. Love this franchise. I am totally cool that its a reboot, fine that its all women. I'm looking forward to see this come back. But!..oh wow, the hate online for this movie is downright phenomenal. It feels that people today, just love to hate things. I can't even listen to some of my own friends anymore, cause EVERYTHING save for a select few of movies is worst thing ever. I'm looking forward to this one!! Fingers crossed!


And Finally, Captain America: Civil War. And I gotta say, I rank this up on my excited level with Batman Vs Superman. I hope good things and I'm sure I will enjoy it.



There are more movies, but this list will do for now :)

Dicemasters - Colossus Review

This post is probably not going to appeal to anyone who doesn't play or at least know about Dicemaster, so please..enjoy a cookie sometime day and think of Colossus in dice form. :)

Lets talk about Colossus cards and how effective they are. I'm not going into pairing with other cards cause that is whole other conversation in itself. But on its own, how viable is the card.

Overall, The Colossus cards are really expensive to field, 6 for the common and 7 for all others. One is going to find it hard to get him out in the field. But his stats are well worth it, with a high defense and offense at his highest level. He is well worth the cost, BUT only at his final level.

Which takes us to his first common card, "Unstoppable". With a base cost of 6, the cheapest of the 3. This card best utilizes the fact that you want Colossus at level 3 as soon as possible to take advantage of his high hit and defense. So even if he is fielded at level 1, his ability allows you to spin him up each turn. Getting Colossus to level 3 is the goal here. A good starting card, but again, the high cost I don't know if justifies the waiting to get to level 3 stats.

The next card, Uncommon "Russian Bear". With a higher field cost, well...it better be a good ability. Being sent to the prep area instead of the used pile if he causes damage. I really don't think its worth it. The reason being is that he is really only super effective at his higest level. It is alot of work to get him there. At this point the "Unstoppable" card is a better cost and payoff. I would leave this one out.

Final card, a Rare, "Piotr Rasputin" This is the card you want. Just having him in the battlefield while other characters are active with him will cause 2 damage per character to the opponent. You literally don't have to do anything, attack, ability, nothing. Just sit there and the other guy takes damage.
Even with the high field cost, you want this guy in as fast as you can. So even if he is low level, the ability is fantastic. Clearly the winner of the 3.

If you are going to use Colossus, "Piotr Rasputin" is the way to go. But if you want a good alternative, "Unstoppable" is a good choice as well, just to have some muscle on your team.
