Looks like there’s going to be another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. This one appears to be styled after the more recent cartoon series, with the solid white eyes, and it appears to be entirely CG. The trailer I linked to looks pretty kick-ass though. [via]
So, we’re agreed that Bryan Singer is a cinematic genius, right? At least, he does amazing work with comic book material. Jon and I went to see Superman Returns last night, and it was fabulous. It’s possible that my opinion doesn’t really say much, since I’ve never seen any of the other movies (I know, I’m not American, blah blah), but I really enjoyed SR anyway. The movie was pretty accessible to people who hadn’t seen the others, though I feel certain that I missed out on a lot of nuances in my ignorance. Brandon Routh was great (and gorgeous!), and Kevin Spacey was rather creepy in Lex Luther’s madness. I was able to really get into the movie and feel the tension, something I can’t usually say. I’m not usually the type to be on the edge of my seat, but for Superman, I guess I was. Fantastic movie. 
After owning my little Saturn SC1 for nearly 10 years, I (Jon and I, really) finally took the big step and bought a new car. We’d been kind of looking off and on for a while, but, thanks to my parents’ morale support, we actually went out on Saturday and bought a Scion tC.
This isn’t actually a photo of my car, because I can’t find my camera (I think it’s been packed away), but this is basically what it looks like:
Naturally this is all pretty exciting. Fortunately for us, we were able to get a decent loan rate too, so our payments won’t be too bad. This was our first major purchase, but everything went well. Having my parents along really helped, because I was a little nervous about the whole thing. Cars are a lot of money, and the loan process is a little intimidating.
The car is a blast to drive, and it has a sweet little radio in it (that plays mp3 CDs, woot). Ultimately, the car isn’t the most practical (2 doors, not the best gas mileage, etc), but at least it isn’t an SUV. Plus, I think it’ll still get better gas mileage than my Saturn, which really wasn’t in very good shape anymore. I didn’t get the dark blue color that I had really wanted, but the light blue that we did get is very pretty anyway. I think I might actually like it better than the darker blue, even.
Anyway, Scions are made by Toyota, so I’m hoping it’ll be a decent car. Here’s hoping it lasts us many years.
