I dunno and don't care. I'm just hoping the Mr. doesn't make me watch it. I think the Kevin Spacey thing will be enough to turn him off it.

Lex Luthor is NOT a stand-up comedian

Hey, somebody else gets it. I never read a single Superman comic in which Lex cracked a joke, that I can remember. He was EVIL, period.

Lois with a child?

not going to work.

This is also the production that caused a big stink when they tried to make Jimmy Olson a homosexual.

They also tried to totally and completly change the superman outfit to something completly totally differnt.

I have no incentive to see this in the theaters or even rent or buy the DVD at this point.

The LAST thing I want to see is Superman PC.

Perhaps this is how hollywood accounting is going to bury all the losses they are about to suffer this year.

They inflate the cost of the movie and then hide the actual profits of other movies.

If this were wallstreet Hollyweird accountants would be in bigger trouble ant Enron.

The ones you mentioned all sound like over hyped duds based on the commericals I have seen.

Even the promo fluff is pushing me away from the drek.

Do you know of some other movies? Seems to me this year is going to be WORSE than last year for theater owners.

I especially like this one; although I'm more a Marvel guy, I imagine it's long been a personal fantasy of DC fans:

I wait until a movie is released in DVD. About the same price, and you get to keep it--or turn it into a frisbee.

Not absorbant but still protective.

It's awfully kind of AOL to continue to send them in the mail. Just when you think you've run out of coasters/frisbees, AOL comes through.

One day, when I own a house with a large enough garden, I'm going to have a trap shooting kit made that will allow me to fire off the CDs that come in the mail for target practice.

That's gonna' be some LARGE yard, Ivan! If you miss, you can just point to the hole in the middle and claim that you really made a bull's eye. THAT would be a clinton/kennedy-thing to do.

I'm not in the habit of emulating Socialists. And yes, I would like to have a large yard someday. ;)
