I’m eager for the new Trek, cautiously optimistic on the new Supes.

RT @mhaithaca: “What’s the S stand for?” “It’s not an S.” http://youtu.be/T6DJcgm3wNY
@atlauren I am not sure if I like that retcon, but I am looking forward to that movie like no (man of) tomorrow.
- Andrew Laurence:
@jeffporten They’ve changed the S’ meaning a few times. I’m OK with it.
@atlauren I’ve always loved the 1940s/Earth 2 stylization. Glad to see it coming back.
- Glenn Fleishman:
The children made logical arguments that convinced me to go to Red Robin even though I swore I would never return to one.
@GlennF The menu at Nightwing is grittier and darker. Avoid Jason Todd Robin at all costs.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten Every meal comes with darkness and pain. Tip are a mandatory finger broken.
@GlennF On the bright side, at Batmenu the service is excellent, because the waitstaff is all scared for their lives.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten “I’m Batmanuel, your waiter.”
@GlennF Tip him, or you’ll Tick him off.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten The good part is that all the food is American made.
@GlennF After three weeks of training, you’re promoted to ninja waiter.
@GlennF Also, when you need more utensils, you can just yell “Spoon!”
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten The plates can be dropped at will on the floor, as they’re nigh invulnerable to breakage.

Thinking of taking a vacation to Washington, DC. Relaxation without representation. (/cc @incanus77)
@danielpunkass @incanus77 Strongly recommended. Don’t come in August. And add me to your list of friends in DC.

I don’t follow the comic, but why are the 3 characters at bottom all staring at Superman’s dick here? #didanyoneproof pic.twitter.com/NlZ1Y5Zxp6
@jeffcarlson Super magnetism?
- Jeff Carlson:
@jeffporten I can’t believe someone signed off on it.
@jeffcarlson Considering the number of panels where we are staring at a woman’s breasts — all of them — this doesn’t surprise me at all.
- Geoff Duncan:
@jeffcarlson @jeffporten Perhaps it’s a (ahem) tiny bit of payback for decades of brokeback poses on comic book covers…

- Julio Ojeda-Zapata:
I love Star Trek and Superman equally, and eternally, but no ‘Into Darkness’ trailer has thrilled me like this one. http://bitly.com/11qDqAw
@ojezap This does look like a rocking movie. I hope it doesn’t disappoint us like the last one did.
- Jamie Kilstein:
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG http://ifanboy.com/articles/trailer-the-latest-trailer-for-man-of-steel-is-ohmygodamazing/ … #super #fucking #man #SUPERMAN
@jamiekilstein I, for one, am thrilled to see the return of the 1940s S logo.
- Andrew:
@jamiekilstein Man, that All Star Superman quote gave me shivers.
@Andrew_Graruru @jamiekilstein which was the All Star quote? Never finished that series.
- Andrew:
@jeffporten @jamiekilstein Jor-Els speech ‘they will join you in the sun’, is from the climax of All Star

- Jesse Spector:
First time ever that watching Mad Men on DVR is emotionally uplifting.
@jessespector Right now, Mad Max qualifies as spiritually uplifting.
- Kevin van Haaren:
Don’t believe any news report for 24 hours, even if they claim to be from officials. Don’t watch the videos or the photos. Make a cup of tea
@kvanh Have you seen this yet? http://www.jeffporten.com/?p=5315 More along the lines of that advice.
- Alan Gluck:
WOW…now this is a suite. Two rooms to stretch out, proper bath and king-sized bed. All I’m missing is Heather http://4sq.com/12h6a03
@Airport_Guy Yeah, but my hotel has a poker room.

RT @daveweigel: RT @kasie: Whoever planned the attack – they did it with modern media in mind. So many cameras trained right on the victims.
.@Slate @daveweigel @kasie ALL major events with large crowds will have many cameras. Stop making the criminals sound hypercompetent.

The media has forgot the 1st rule. “Terrorism” is brown foreigners, Honkeys commit “random acts” Too early to say.
.@Angry_Drunk And remember, white people like Timothy McVeigh are criminals, not terrorists.
