The REAL Superman Movie is on now. An American clasic, bo loud story, no cgi. Just a pure American Clasic. Never been topped.
And the guy who played Jimmie Olsen was a homo.
Especially if you have media of the original and a player. No chance what you have will be edited or Bowdlerized in some way later, the way ET (guns replaced with walkie-talkies!) and Star Wars (Han shot first!) were.

I want to see the new Brad Pitt movie F1. For 20 minutes I had to sit there and watch previews of the movies to come. You can’t believe the ripped up bombastic AI generated crap that is coming. To say that these movies are directed toward individuals with Attention Deficit disorder is an understatement.
Regarding F1, it’s a 350mill extravaganza that leaves you numb. Not even close to movies like Ford and Ferrari and others.
“It was kind of funny to see how they updated the times, no closet phone booths.”
The TV Clark never used a phone booth. He was always using the store room at the Daily Planet. I liked that show when I was a kid. It’s a little outdated now but still better than the modern stuff.
Jimmy Olsen: “They robbed the entire Daliy Planet payroll!”
Lois Lane: “Why that’s almost ten thousand dollars!”
I must agree, watched him in the mid-50’s on the TV series, B/W, when I came home from Elementary school.
Every day at 3:30 in my town. Early to mid 50’s.
When I watch the old Superman, and hear that intro, I also remember....
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a frog!
Not bird or plane or even frog,
It’s just little oLd me...UNDERDOG!
Yep!
I came across CBS this morning and Christopher Reeves’ son was interviewing the guy playing superman in the new movie. The interview was basically a commercial for the movie as the 2 of them were engaged in a sort of mutual admiration contest. I moved on.
What can I say? It was a wimpy, campy movie, totally lacking in testosterone.
The real Superman movie, you mean the one starring Kirk Alyn, or perhaps George Reeves? Just because your a young whippersnapper doesn’t mean you can ignore the previous Supermans.
And no offense to Christopher Reeves but he always struck me as a kind of prissy Superman.
I agree. Fleischer Studios moved to Miami in 1938 so that might have affected the Art Deco look of their Superman cartoon series since Art Deco is prominent in Miami Beach architecture.
