[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Finally saw it. *buuurp* I love how you saw footage of Superman sitting in a bar, knocking back a few cold ones, intercut with shots of Lois being slammed into every wall and surface six ways 'til sunday on the shuttle-liner. And Superman's like, "Yeah, yeah, in a minute!" X-treme nitpick: The bullet fired at Superman's cornea made the sound of an empty shell when hitting the ground, instead of a solid slug. To quote Luthor; "WROONG!!" I remember Parker Posey when she pulled dance moves in indie-movies and was semi-hot. This was not hot, it's too bad she didn't get to really [i]live[/i] in this movie. But then again, who does? Spacey was good, and I do think his real-estate scheme was concurring with the original; Gene Hackman wanted all of Australia for himself, the most undeveloped landscape of the planet (plus Otisville). Good that Frank Langella finally got some space to act a bit, even if he wasn't as acerbic as J.K Simmons' J. Jonah Jameson in "Spiderboy". I feel he's gotten the wind somewhat blown out of him since breaking up with Whoopi. Also, this must be the first time he's acted in the same movie as Kevin Spacey since "Doomsday Gun"(1994). It's so funny how that movie in VHS- and DVD-releases nowadays has a big picture of Spacey on the cover as a drawing card, although it the movie's all about Langella, and Spacey is just some forgettable CIA agent that once was a friend of Langella's character. I didn't like Kate Bosworth at all. Stiff and bald. I'd've preferred the other Kate B. I shudder to think that the times have moved along so much that the other Kate B. is not eligible to be Superman's girlfriend, would've been considered old compared to the kid who played Superman. It's wrong I tell you. The short nod to the times past, when Lois and Cal-El were talking, mentioned a time when he went back to see what was left of Krypton, just "to see it for himself". Is this covered in any of the comics or something? I'm surprised they added it to the script, even if it was just filler for the time-discrepancy when Superman was "Away". P.S. I now have a nice Humperdinck-collection. Not just "Release Me" (thanks to "The Fast Show") but "Quando Quando Quando" (Superman elevator scene). Tha's it. *buuurp* [/QB][/QUOTE]
