'Mann of Steel' – another box office bomb

WARNING: contents of this post may cause nausea, have your air sickness bag handy.

Apparently Michael Mann agrees with the label, his Twitter feed says:

Mann_of_steel

The movie referred to is this one.

Well, we all knew it was simply a matter of time before Mann took on the persona exhibited by his followers.

In case you don’t know, SUNY’s Professor Scott Mandia is the guy running Mike Mann’s legal defense fund.

My only question is, why does he need hip wader boots?

From Scott Mandia’s blog he captions this photo: The Caped Climate Crusader: Battling the evil forces of global warming deniers. “Faster than global T rise, more powerful than a stranded polar bear, able to leap over rising seas in a single bound.”

No adult would dress like that in public.

That Mandia “earnest face” pic looks like something off a scambaiter site.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make climate communicators, and best selling authors. Which is a bit of a misquote, but then Euripdes was somewhat prescient:-
Doth some one say that there be gods above?
There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool,
Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you.
Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words
No undue credence: for I say that kings
Kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud,
And doing thus are happier than those
Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity
Is built-up from our good and evil luck.
Same stuff requiring waders, different set of indulgences on sale. False prophets can still generate real profits, especially with some enabling rent-seeking legislation.

And people believe that this delusional narcissist practices hard nosed, reality based factual empirical science?
I would not trust him with the remote control for the TV.

Well I saw the film critic (of Man Of Steel) on redlettermedia… Maybe he should have watched it before using that name…

Seeing that picture again was quite painful. Even more so this time since I noticed the woven in speedo’s long pants “stupor hero edition”© {°×°}

Steel can also be spelled: s-t-e-a-l. Taxpayer research grants anyone?

For a Mann of Steel he sure is reluctant to debate in public. More like Mann Mouse!

If Mann didn’t exist, it would be necessary for the skeptics to create him. I, for one, would not have been a skeptic had I not encountered Micheal Mann. He’s the gift that just keeps giving.

You reminded me … I don’t think I have noticed an airsick bag for years.
Maybe there is one in the setback pocket … but I rarely care to look too closely at what is in those.

So Mandia once dressed up in a ridiculous costume for a Halloween party or similar. Good for a laugh I agree. And certainly the pretentiousness of the whole climate crusader thing with the hockley stick definitely deserved to be ridiculed. But having laughed at this picture a couple of times now, I’m really pretty much laughed out. Seeing the picture now just makes me uncomfortable.

Mann is simply outstanding in his field…. or is it someone else’s field that he is squatting on?
And that picture reminded me of an old movie…”The Three Musketeers- Men in Tights” it was a bad spoof on the original Three Musketeers.. I still cant get that bad image out of my head……

Any news on Mann’s various bits of litigation?

Based on Mann’s expanding Pillsbury Dough Boy girth he should be, “Mann of LaMunchy”. 😉
