I'm not dead!

But, yeah, I kinda fell of the face of the Earth for a while there. It happens - more often lately than I'd like, but there ya go.

Last Tuesday, I had another fab night out with the Midnight Movie MafiaTM. Of course we saw Superman Returns. Seeing as how it made a buttload and a half in the last week, I'll spare y'all the review. But I will give a highlight reel...

  • Kate Bosworth & Brandon Routh seemed a litle young. They were definitely going for the Spider-Man audience. (Awesome trailer for SM3, BTW - put him in the black costume and all geeks are happy.) Despite some wooden moments, neither ruined the movie.
  • Kevin Spacey was all over the place as Lex. I like my Luthor totally evil, with flecks of humor, not the other way around. And David's right - as good as Parker Posey was, Jennifer Tilly would've rocked it. As of now, I am going to start a campaign to get her the role of Harley Quinn in the next Batman movie (No matter who they cast as the Joker, she'll be perfect) .
  • Brandon Routh owes the world a legit shirtless moment. Though I'm kinda glad we didn't get it with him as Superman. The whole idea of finding Superman hot is, as I told Jason and Chad over drinks beforehand, kinda like finding Jesus hot. Didn't stop me from inspecting the package, but still...
  • The John Williams theme got way too much play. It's iconic, I love it, we get it, he's Superman. A real shame, because I liked the music that was composed.
  • In my opinion, the most successful aspect of the storytelling, was the love story. This, if you ask me (and hello, you are reading MY blog) is also the most difficult to pull off. The unspoken feelings and starcrossed nature to Lois & Clark's love is about as real as it gets.

So much for sparing the review. I'm home all day tomorrow, so there will be blogging then as well.

Until then, I'm J.
