January 22, 2019

For DC’s Shazam, which is basically what happens when somebody makes a Superman movie where the main character isn’t a sulking superhuman whose greatest strength is creeping people out with a CGI top lip, that wardrobe cost was pretty high.

I don’t have kids, nor the money to send them to an expensive private school if I did.  However, if I did, I would certainly want to send my kids to a school that goes beyond basic education and actually prepares them for a future employment market which requires a lot of tech skills.
