Friday B-Movie Pick: Justice League: Gods and Monsters

Justice League: Gods and Monsters
Yet another example of excellence from DC Comics animated movie team.  This is an alternate universe where the Justice League is made up three, and I use the term loosely, heroes.  Superman is the son of General Zod, not Jor-el, Batman is a vampire (created by Science!), and Wonder Woman is one of the New Gods.  All them have no issues what so ever in killing bad guys.  Just to set the tone for this universe a bit more firmly, Amanda Waller is President.  Ya, it’s a dark reflection of the DC Universe.  Things only get worse when the Justice League starts getting framed for killing scientists.  In the end, it’s a wake up call for the League, with some help from Lex Luthor, who seems to be crossed with Stephen Hawking in this setting.

Quote of the Day

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Excellent lecture from Sam of Day by Day:

“…progressives are basically old cross-dressing boomer socialist decked out in your party dress, masquerading as ‘the people’, and hold out the same old, dead, withered 100 year old hands of Marx and Engels.

Britain, France, Germany have all renounced it, and it’s no surprise that that the three biggest bankrupt U.S. states are blue – California, Illinois, and New York.

Sorry, but progressives and multiculturalism are out-dated, incompetent, and well… kinda gross.

After two years of total control by democrat-progressives, we can all see how they match up to reality, n’cest-ce pas?

A President promising efficient government triples the deficit, and blows 3 Trillion with zero result except for 10.3 percent unemployment.

An Attorney General of the Justice Department so riddled with racism he won’t prosecute an open and shut case regarding the Black Panthers.

A Homeland Security head who can only sue states who try and secure the borders she’s responsible for.

Political pundits who claim people haven’t the intelligence to understand the Constitution because it’s ‘100 years old’.

A CIA chief who says he gets the latest intel from CNN – Jan, one could go on for hours…”

If you are not reading Day by Day, you should be.
