It was at the end of the movie before the Bride told Bill about finding out that she was pregnant during the Lisa Wong assignment.

Kill Bill is a good movie.

Magento was always the head of the brotherhood of evil mutants.

If he joined the Xmen in the 1990s that was long after Stanley Leiber had any say.

It is revisionist history to say the decades of comics never happened and years of television and cartoons never happened and even movies that starred the same actor in the title role NEVER HAPPENED.

Lois Lane is a slut.

The director who made the movie claims that he pitched Xmen to the actor he cast as Magneto by saying it was about Gay Politics.

Now that doesn't mean that he put his agenda into Superman but this film is hardly a "conservative epic". Maybe you are reading things into characters actions.

I've always wondered if the original character was based on the premise of Nietzsche's superman,

Possibly. They wrote a number of pulp fiction stories about this premise in the 1920s. I think in one he was a villain. I think in another there was a planet of people with super powers. Some editor (who was also a famous sf writer) advised them to put their super man on a planet of normal men.

The question remains if Lex Luthor would ever give billions of dollars to "charitable trust foundations".

"If you dont go see it your missing the point or never got the point in the first place."

Nope, haven't seen it and probably won't. The fact that it was made by a flamin liberal made me doubt it from the start. The fact they admit to taking this american icon and dumbing it down is offensive.

There is no point I'm missing. Hollywood has made yet another rerun because they lack the creativity to make anything original Americans will watch.

Aaaaah, another fine screed from the wanna-be Coulter.

Why does anyone take anything this hysterical idiot writes seriously? Come on.

You said the world doesn't need salvation so why do I hear it calling out for a Savior.

Nothing I have ever posted could lead anyone to think that I do not believe the world needs a Savior. In fact we already have a Savior, we just need to accept Him, Jesus Christ.

I don't know, it might have been in the late '80s or early '90s. I have an X-Men #1 (from one of their "let's start over" years) and Magneto was head of the Brotherhood, but a lot of the interpersonal dynamics and dialogue indicated that he had been a member of the X-Men for a little while, or, at the very least, a strong ally. Even the animated series played on that dynamic for a time.

I've always preferred Batman to Superman.

So did I for some reason.

Dana Delany was a great Lois.

Uh huh. No mention of 9/11, no mention of Al Qaeda, no mention of Islamofascism and the only enemy worth fighting is.... omnivorism! It makes the PUtAH folks proud. We got a politically correct, feminine Superman and a Lois Lane who's all butch. This could have been a great summer movie. We didn't get one.

Liberals can't even bring themselves to praise American goodness! Wow, the times have changed, and not in a good way, for sure.

Hi, Rastus:

Dana Delaney still is a great Lois Lane. Her voice was featured as Lois Lane's in the most recent Warner Brothers' animated offering "Brainiac Attacks".

The only character's voice to be changed (for the worse, in my opinion) was Lex Luthor's. Warner went with Powers Boothe, instead of keeping Clancy Brown. Whose voice has always seemed very meancing, even when it's not supposed to be.

They also dumbed down Luthor's role to that of occasional Comic Relief, which is just plain wrong!

Jack.

I saw that in the store, but every review I've read said it's to be avoided at all costs. I understand it plays for free on Cartoon Network, so perhaps I'll watch it there and see.

I caught "Braniac Attacks" on Cartoon Network and it isn't one of Warner Brothers' Best Efforts. Around a C when compared to the early Amimated Series.

I'd like Cartoon Network to have a Marathon of the early Batman and Superman Animated series of a holiday weekend.

Jack.

I like remakes and took some time out to see Superman Returns. I included your comment above because after seeing the movie, I think the use of the word rerun is fitting. Apart from the nifty CGI effects, this movie seemed flat like I've seen it before. It was a rerun. For $300,000,000.00 a much more creative story could have been developed.
