Short Story: It was good...
Long Story: It was really F*cking good. All the actors were great, special effects were awesome, storyline was well written, GO SEE THIS MOVIE! The only thing I didn't like about it was that they did the same thing they did to King Kong: they made it into a love story. Not that chick flicks are bad, but when I go to the theater to see Superman, I don't want to see a love triangle. *SPOILER* Superman leaves for 5 years and Lois Lane gets married in his absence. *SPOILER ENDS*. That sounds more like Days of our Lives to me.
Now to the part where I may get a little controversial. Has anyone else who has seen this movie noticed it blatantly portrays Superman as Christ? Here are my reasons: 1) Every time he falls, his body drifts into a position not unlike that of Christ on the cross. 2) He gets stabbed right where the Spear of Destiny stabbed Christ. 3) He's a Son sent to mankind by his Father to save mankind from itself. Sound familiar? And finally, 4) He "dies" to save mankind but is resurrected. But, not only is Superman Jesus, people are going around saying that he's gay in this movie. SO-FRIGGIN-WHAT? Should it matter? Why can't we have a Gay idol? I don't think there's any good reason.
I wonder what the Catholic church will do now that we have a movie portraying a gay Jesus? Maybe they'll try to prove that Jesus did have a kid to prove it untrue...
"COME ON, PEOPLE! We need to De-homo Jesus STAT!"
yah know, you used to go to hell for that kinda stuff...
I always relish the after-movie talk. You know, the one you always have as you're leaving the theatre? Well, this time my dad and I were talking about what it must be like to be married to Lois Lane and live in Superman's shadow...How can you live up to the fucking Man of Steel?
and as we always do, we mocked the characters from the movie...Here's the discussion as well as I can remember it.
-"You know, honey, Superman used to fly me to India."
-"Sweetheart, you know we can't afford plane tickets right now..."
-"Superman never worried about money"
-"Superman this, Superman that. Well, if Superman was so friggin perfect why'd you marry ME?"
-"He always left the toilet seat up."
and then, after the movie, we had to go to Rite Aid for some bathroom stuff, and in the shaving aisle I saw a hair removal product called "Aussie Nad's"...Think about it for a second...
Seriously, though, all the razorblades were in those locked glass boxes...I call them "bullshit boxes" because you shouldn't have to deal with them.
That's all for tonight, signing off.

----- I really enjoyed this review of Superman the (next) movie, especially the after-movie comments. I didn't see Superman, and probably won't, but I enjoyed the notes about the J.C. analogies. Love that kind of stuff.
----- What about your review of the second Pirates movie? I loved the first one, and was a bit disappointed in the second because (1) I didn't think it was as funny, (2) it had a little too much gratuitous gross stuff, like the severed fingers and toes (plus I didn't think it at all believable that Jack Sparrow would bite the toenail on a severed toe like that, and (3) Kiera Knightly's (I forget the character's name)lip-lock on Jack in order to trick him seemed pretty mean-spirited for that character. I know the producers needed some way to get to leaving Sparrow to appear to be dead or otherwise in trouble for the cliff-hanging ending, but the Knightly character had been portrayed as really likeable up until then, and that left a BAD taste in my mouth. ----- However, I must say that the final, final scene of the movie, with the close-up of you-know-who, improved my feeling about the whole movie.
----- On another note, I don’t think your blog’s name, about averge or geek, applies in your case. If you’re going to use a title that actually doesn’t apply to yourself, why don’t you work Pamela Anderson’s name into the title – I understand that’s worth hundreds of hits a day. Although maybe these days you should put Kiera Knightly into the title instead!
