A terrible movie, properly skewed.
The 80s.. growing up, high school, my first job, my first apartment. Great music, never knew how good I had it living at home. No real worries, Mama and Dad took care of everything. Now, staring at 46, heading into a divorce, bills bills bills. Sometimes I would give anything to go back to sitting in my room, reading and listening to my stereo or going over to my friends Steve’s place to play video games on that new fangled NES he just got. Things were much simpler then.
I was 8 or so and stayed home all summer by myself during the day with nary a worry. Can’t think of doing that now, its sad how far we’ve fallen as a society.
I remember the fan press playing up SUPERMAN IV like it would be a return to the greatness of the first two movies, making up for the underachieving SUPERMAN III. I was stunned when I finally saw the film. What a fustercluck! Now, SUPERMAN III looks like an epic in comparision to the fourth film, which was an unqualified disaster.
