Week 14: Famous Last Words

I don't even want to go into why I haven't updated this blog this entire week.  I told myself I was going to get ahead and stay ahead in this class to avoid putting it on the back burner to my other classes... yeah, that didn't happen.

On top of all of the craziness that is the end of the semester - this has been an insane week for movie trailers.

First, you have the trailer for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."


I'm just. And everything about this movie is going to be awesome (not a popular opinion, I know, but here we are).  I'm enjoying Sulky and Cynical Bruce Wayne, Super Scary Superman, and Over The Top Drama Lex Luthor.  Also, Jeremy Irons.

...and then later that day, the first ever trailer for "I Saw The Light."


And honestly, 2016 is just going to be rough year.

"I Saw The Light" was originally supposed to be released on November 27th - however, it didn't perform as well at the festivals as people were hoping, so they pushed it to March 2016.  Which I'm not here for.

I've looking forward to this movie for what seems like ages and I'm just ready to hear Tom Hiddleston sing to me about his honky tonk blues.  However, if I hear one more person say that Tom's southern accent is better than Benedict Cumberbatch's from "August Osage County" I'm afraid there's gonna be some yelling.

(Because Hank is from Alabama - and Tom sounds like it; Benedict's character was from northern Oklahoma - and he sounded like it.  People were expecting a stereotypical southern accent - which is not what northern Okies sound like, nevermind the fact that Oklahoma's not a southern state anyway.  If you say it is - you're wrong.)

Tech Tip: Sidebar Box

For this tech tip I added some text underneath the weather gadget.  It never ceases to amaze me how many people forget about the extraordinary weather that happens here.  Especiaduring the spring!

There is no excuse to not take five minutes to watch a weather forecast.  I watch Mike Morgan because I trust him far more than David Payne - News 9 has horrible looking radar.  KFOR's is much more sophisticated - you can actually watch a tornado move from street to street.

My mom and I watched as the Moore tornado from when it first formed all the way until it roped out on KFOR.  Why people still sent their children to school, I'll never understand.  Mike Morgan had been warning people for a week that there was going to be strong tornadic activity.  And I'm going to stop there, because that's a rant for another time.

Moral of the story: pay attention to the weather.
