I should be asleep right now, but mind just keeps going back and forth on recent Superhero movies i have seen. There's so much artistic and computer generated ideas embedded in this movies that i sometimes find my brain absorbing the visual information from each new entry in Hollywood’s format of choice, processing it through senses, cataloging it in memory banks, and more often than not, hitting the mental equivalent of the “spinning pinwheel of death.”
