THE BATMAN trailer

So it is all happening again, again: Another new Batman movie starring punching, explosions, dark cinematography, noise and sounds, actors, big bangs-bangs, superhero stuff, music loudness and goopy-doo madness squeegledunce, macha macha hey.

People are excited. I get it, I was excited once - intoxicating stuff. But this cover song of a movie isn't doing much for me yet. Maybe because we've had a bunch of Batman movies already? Plus games, animated films, graphic novels, monthly comics, bubble bath foam, breakfast cereals, etc. I don't know.

As a Batman fanman I just feel like I've seen a lot of this before and I really thought NEW was a word people understood. NEW doesn't mean, you've seen it before. NEW used to mean New, as in original, as related to Unique, as in different. I really didn't expect a New Batman movie to basically be 'Here's a bunch of shit you've seen before but from THIS angle.'

I don't know. I am sure it will be fine. Just not unique. That will never happen.

Here I Come

The Internet has long acted as an echo chamber for thought. A place for strangers in strange lands to seek out and explore their passions. Sites sprang out of the dirt, muck and mire to become refuges to the disenfranchised; homes for the hopeless, places of light allowing people to grow and become greater than they thought possible. In the dark, away from prying eyes, the most lascivious discourse imaginable was being spewed fountain-like into the void in the hopes that the shadow laden creatures who thrive on sinister thoughts and feelings would too grow into a force to be reckoned with. Both sides seek understanding. Both sides seek to share their ideals. Both sides believe they are right. One side is wrong. Many years ago I hosted an unpopular but listened to podcast, a highlight among Canadian titles that were bland and properly curated. It was a standout beside shows where a gimmick or a theme drove content as We couldn't be bothered to talk about just any popular subje...

The Latest Reintroduction

Hello, my name is Adam Greene. And despite my worst impulses I do care. This is about the fiftieth time I've restarted this blog. At first it was merely a summary of a lousy podcast. Then it was a repository for lousy pictures. Then it was a lousy, rarely updated, angry blog. Then it was a flower shop. Then it was another lousy, rarely updated, angry blog. Then it was the Huffington Post. And now it's a blog about me for me. For me to discover what I think about things. For me to share things that I can't share on social media because it would be awkward. For me to come to terms with all of the feelings and weird thoughts I have. For me to help myself. Because I like caring. It feels good. And it is time I felt good. Adam Greene deserves it.

Haunted by Dead Weight: The Exercisist

I imagine people would find it hard to believe that I was heavy for years. Heavy is putting it lightly; I was fat as hell. Portly by way of obese. Truly a fat fuck. Not anymore. It has been years since I was overweight: gone are the days of my thighs rubbing together as I walk and I make semi-regular eye contact with my undersized penis, which are really telling signs that you've hit a point of concern: If chapped leg skin and disappearing genitalia doesn't raise a red flag then what does? There were a couple of incidents that opened my eyes to my problem: 1: It was a Sunday and I was going out to lunch with my Father. Nothing upper tier, no tie required. I remember I was wearing a red polo shirt, sunglasses and uncomfortably snug pants and for some reason I noticed myself in the highly reflective glass of a Subway sandwich place. I looked fucking terrible. Really quite bad. First off, my mouth was open as I was gulping down air to prevent a black out from the little b...
