If there’s one week in 2007 that I should consider the bitchiest muthafucka week in the history of all bitchy muthafucka weeks, it has to be last week. Seriously. My annual depression attack arrived just when I was starting to be pwned at work, and the screwy weather ravaged my health, leading to a sick leave last Monday. It was Hell, I tells ya!

They could’ve still paid homage to Richard Donner’s movie by putting in sly nods to it, instead of dwelling on it too much. And the kid! The goddamn kid. Don’t get me wrong, the kid’s a nice addition to the mythos, and a great source of drama for the characters, but it just feels so wrong. And I’d like to hear Bryan Singer explain how the hell did it exactly happen. You do not tug on Superman’s cape, and you do not give him a bastard son!
