just a quick note to say...
I've watched all of about fifteen minutes of Superman Returns.
I'm pretty sure the only reason for me to continue to do so is Frank Langella. (Who [whom?] I most clearly remember from frakkin' DS9, bitches--I could NOT figure out where I knew him from!)
POSSIBLY Kevin Spacey doing his completely-over-the-top-ridiculous thing. Kate Bosworth is a complete wet-rag as Lois. She just does not fit what I think Lois should be. And that Brandon kid seems a little too Clark, and none of Superman. Parker Posey? You should know better.
(I think I actually want to see Frost/Nixon. Has anyone seen that?)
(Yes, I realize that this post is approximately three years too late. Can I help it that I've never had any desire to see this movie, and that the only reason I'm watching it is that it's on FX and I don't feel like changing the channel?)

and yup, Langella is Nixon in the new movie. the dude who plays Frost was also Tony Blair in The Queen (which I quite liked, actually).
I actually saw Superman Returns at a drive-in theater. It was a double feature with Nacho Libre. (We originally went to see Pirates of the Carribean... 2? I think? which was sold out.) I didn't *dislike* it, per se... it just felt kind of antiseptic. It was awesome to see it for 1/2 price at the drive-in, though.
I really didn't like Kate Bosworth, though.
Not that Pirates 2 was much better, mind you. But at least it had Johnny Depp. I have rather unabashed love for that whole trilogy. I'm just so happy they didn't utterly fuck it up, which they could've.
it does piss me off that they put Cap'n Jack into the ride though. I say thee nay. Leave my FAVORITE Disney ride ever alone, dammit!
OK, the part where he put the plane down in the baseball field was pretty badass. I'll give you that.
But other than that, I'm distinctly meh. Let me know what you think if you see it again! :)
I wonder if he cleaned up that mess? It would be pretty difficult to get it out of there without his help. I guess you could use helicopters, but still. It reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld/Superman interview he did I think on SNL once where people called in to ask SuperMan questions and some guy asked "Superman, what are you going to do about all the garbage on the streets in New York?" and he was like "Do I have to do EVERYTHING for you people?"
