Snow White and the Huntsman

Last night, we saw Snow White and the Huntsman. Also, I told her about the Green Lantern and she replied, Maybe that's why the movie bombed? People didn't believe the love interest and thought he was repressing his true nature?

Either way, I now renounce my usual reboot rules and want a reboot movie where he's gay.

Also, we were disappointed at getting Dark Knight Rising trailer. I know that's a weird sentence. Obviously, we will be seeing the film. It has Christian Bale and an awesome cast BUT we didn't like the last one that well and this seems even darker. My mom is very concerned that they might do something like kill him off. I'm sure DC must be kicking themselves that they're losing Christian Bale when it's now clear that they should have been working up to a Justice League movie all along...

Because a Justice League movie without Christian Bale is like an Avengers movie without Robert Downey, Jr which I know will happen in the next 7-10 years but LALALALALALALALA, I'm NOT listening!

However, the main disappointment is that I wanted her to see the Bourne Legacy trailer the way it's meant to be seen and they had Batman instead. :(
So, I had to just show her the trailer on the computer. Mom and I have been fans of Renner for a couple of years now ever since The Hurt Locker.
"WOAH"

That Rachel Weisz is a lucky, lucky woman...make out with people like Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston during the day, come home to James Bond...
I know, she worked hard to get here and she's a great sctress but still...wow

Anyway, onto ( Snow White and the Huntsman )

Loki's motivations/feelings

I've seen two very interesting writings on Loki and his motivations and feelings...

At first, they could seem to be contradictory but I think the "truth" if we ever get anything like that is something in between.

3D Movies

Mom wants to see The Avengers again in 3D from professionals.

Does anyone know who has the best 3D in Tampa Bay?

Government Spending

Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics:


In the 2009 fiscal year—the last of George W. Bush’s presidency—federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget.


In fiscal 2010—the first budget under Obama—spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.


In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.


In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.


Finally in fiscal 2013—the final budget of Obama’s term—spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.

Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%.

There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear.

Most importantly, the President has a balanced plan that would cut deficits by over $4 trillion over the next decade, including the spending cuts he has already signed into law that will bring discretionary spending to its lowest levels as a share of the economy since the Eisenhower Administration.
