just a quick note to say...

I actually REALLY liked this movie. I don't know what it was about it that did it for me. I think Brandon is a good pick for it, but I honestly don't think anything would replace the old black and white TV show. Frank Langella... he's the Nixon in Frost/Nixon? If so, then he was in Dave - awesome, awesome. He was a real bad guy, but he got his. He was also in The Ninth Gate - freakishly bad in that too (bad guy, not bad actor). Oh, well - carry on.
yeah, it just totally wasn't doing it for me. i suppose i probably should've given it the benefit of a full viewing before i totally write it off... but it's too late for that! :) I don't remember the old tv show, but I do remember the new adventures of Superman back in the 90s, and i loved that show.

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.

I absolutely could not stand Kate Bosworth as Lois. Boo.
I'll have to watch it again. I think I just liked it for the special effects. Now that I'm thinking about it, something about the plot line sucked - but scenes like him picking up that huge chunk of mountain or whatever it was - was cool.

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!

I'm so glad I am not the only one who didn't like Kate Bosworth! Whatever happened to her? I think she kinda faded out. Was she ever in a decent movie?

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 will.

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?"
She was in The Rules of Attraction, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I'm pretty sure she was just meh in that too.
