Episode 2 - The Return of Head

Second Episode of Head Speaks

You can download it from:  Episode 2: The Return of Head!

Editors note:  During Geekin' With Head, I mention the CW show Arrow.  I mention (twice) that it was renewed for a second season.  It should have been THIRD season.  So when you hear me say the upcoming season is Season Two, replace that in your head with Season Three.

This episode I dedicate to the memory of James Spence of Merced CA.  He passed away June 17.  I've known James for over 20 years (we used to work together at Target).  Me and his son (Jason Spence) are really good friends.

R.I.P James Spense.

Hollywood Babble On

This episode I make a change.  Gone is Hershel and Things That Piss Him Off... Here is Bitches, Moans, and Gripes, by myself, no character.
This week in Bitches, Moans, and Gripes I once again blast "Reality" t.v.   I ridicule Finding Bigfoot, The Bachelor/Bachelorette (and related shows), Teen Mom, Toddlers and Tiaras, and call out the stupidity of "Kidchella" and the whole Kardasian clan.

Also, At The Movies, I look at the FANTASTIC show, Impractical Jokers, starring James (Murr) Murray, Joe Gatto, Brian (Q) Quinn, and Sal Vulcano.  The premise of the show is four life long friends, try to embarrass each other.

New Batman in Man of Steel 2????

My next blog post was going be Head's Geek Credentials, where I talk about comics and my comic origins.  But I just ran across some news on the intertubes, so that post will have to be postponed....

Apparently someone in DC/Warner Brothers has lost their fuckin' minds.  Several sites are reporting that the new Batman (which will first appear in Man of Steel 2, coming in July 2015) is going to be Ben Affleck.

Now don't get me wrong.  I'm not an Affleck hater.  I think he's a fine actor in the right vehicle.  I enjoyed him in all of Kevin Smith's films (Dogma, Chasing Amy, etc).  Hell I even liked him in 'Forces of Nature".  Yes, I'll admit I watched it and thought it was a decent movie.  Hey... don't you dare fuckin' judge me!  Don't you dare!

But Daredevil... Don't get me wrong.  I enjoyed Daredevil for the most part.  Most people that refer to the movie say it was a horrible movie or they hated it or other such nonsense.  But I liked it (again, for the most part).  But there are two things I didn't care much for.  1) the Matt Murdock (blind lawyer)/ Elecktra playground fight (no, seriously... a BLIND attorney fighting that well in the playground in the middle of the farkin' day???) and 2) Affleck as Daredevil.  I think the movie would have been a lot of better if there was a different actor playing Daredevil.  I guess whoever is in charge of Batman over at DC/WB didn't watch the Daredevil movie.  Or read any of the criticisms of the movie.

Rumors where circulating that Joe Manganiello (from True Blood) and Ryan Gosling were in the running for Batman.  My personal opinion would be that either of these would be a decent if not great Batman.  But Ben Fuckin' Affleck?  I don't know man, I just don't know.

 And I know... He was da bomb in Phantoms, yo!

Anywho....

Now after all that ranting and raving, don't get me wrong.  I will go see Man of Steel 2 (or whatever they decide to call it) in 2015 when it's released.  I'll definitely be there.  And hoping for the best.

I guess we'll have to wait until July of 2015 to see how it's going to turn out.

Feel free to leave comments below and let's discuss this.

Until next time, keep it funny. Remember.  Humor covers a multitude of sins.  8)

The next Batman?  We'll see in July 2015!
