When you go to the nearest movie theater and the inside looks different than the last time you were there and you ask your son when they remodeled it and he says "it's always been this way" that tells you how long it's been since you went to a movie.  We went to the super radar/sonar/nearly 3D theater and it even had 500 speaker hi-fi.  Electric reclining seats.  No massage but ya can't have it all.  Batman vs Superman.  I always preferred Batman myself, seemed something a mere mortal like me could actually do.  No offense to Superman but being able to fly seems unreasonable to me.   Anyway, great movie and great "experience" if I can call it that.  Bonus that Amy Adams played Lois Lane and cover your eyes if you don't want to know but.....Wonder Woman makes an appearance at some point!  Ohhhhh baby!!!  I always loved Wonder Woman and sometimes I tell my wife she kind of looks like her...that one always works or works better than my other lines.

So if the wife gives you a choice of watching House Hunters International re-runs or going to a movie I'd pick this movie.  It even picks on Democratic Senators in it and the blather mouth "experts" that you see on the news shows most nights.  Marketing genius to a wanna be redneck like me.

well we went on a Tuesday afternoon and I think it was $5 a ticket.  Movie theaters take credit cards now too so you can expense it.  Maybe if you go to a movie you'd get something more accomplished than the normal day of ruining the day of the risk takers that own the business the shovel leaners are working for :)

Have not seen the movie but have a question. Why are two good super hero's going against each other? Is one the bad guy in this movie? This could have long lasting negative affects on some comic book nerds! :(

That's the part that I don't get.  Why get two good guy's to battle each other.  I could see it in proffessional wrestling but not with two characters you grew up admiring.  I heard bad reviews on TV on it but that doesn't mean anything to me.  They look at movies different that the average person.  I haven't gone to a movie theater in years.  I'll watch it when it comes on TV.  good luck.

I also wondered that but it works.  I hadn't seen a Superman or Batman movie for 20 years.  One thing all humans have brings them together.

Ok so who is made to be the bad guy in the movie?

Ok, here goes.  Don't read this if you don't want to know.

Superman's public image gets tarnished by Democrat Senators.  SM saves Lois Lane a few times and there is some collateral damage so the Dem Senator starts questioning that SM thinks he's God.  It's awesome because on this topic they show new clips from night time news shows with the usual suspect "experts" weighing in on SM, it's kind of funny.

Batman starts buying this stuff and it doesn't help when one of SM's actions killed some employees of Wayne Industries.  Anyway BM goes after SM and after fighting for a while they realize they are on the same team and join forces with Wonder Woman to kill a creature Lex Luther put before them.  I thought the creature was supposed to be the devil, he was a bad a$$.  

At the end of the movie SM is exonerated but something else happens and I will leave that out.

I'm not really into comic book stuff and I probably won't see this movie until it's played on TV during a rain delay of a baseball game, but I'm confused by the concept.  Sure seems like superman could just toss batman into the sun and the movie is over in 12 minutes.  I'm sure there is a lame plot around the obvious imbalance in super powers, but still.  The whole concept just sounds like weak sauce.

I'm sure CGI superhero fights will pile up the cash from the fanboys and 13 year olds though.

Since VCR's came out I hadn't gone to a movie theater since Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in 48 hours.  Saw it on a date in St. Cloud.  lol  I was kind of proud of how many years it had been too.  Well when I got remarried about 8 years ago the manager of the theater here got 310 to Yuma since I like westerns.  Of course he gave us free passes as part of our wedding present.  I didn't want to hurt his feelings to keep up my streak so we went.  He was happy that he broke up my streak too.  I do like a movie in a theater but there is no place like home.  The popcorn is cheaper too, I can't afford it neither Smurfy.

Tuesday not Wednesday.  I'd assume Tuesday's are a light movie day.  I'm one of those employers that pays the matching 7.65% of your FICA and Medicare, double that amount for myself.  "Big Business".  Many times you hear that small business is the backbone of the economy so once a year we get a Tuesday afternoon to take our kid to a movie for $5.

You're like my wife, "you went to a movie on a Tuesday?"  Yep. 4 times I had to go outside of the theater and make or take a phone call too.  It was a blast. :)

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
