well, "at last", the new Superman film, Superman Returns, has been released, after years of speculation, assumptions and so forth. going on numerous reports and screenshots on the internet (you know where to find them if you are so inclined), it would appear that the world is awash with pirate copies already. no mean feat, that, since as far as i was aware they had a huge security shroud wrapped around this one. oh well.
in regards of the above, i cannot for the life of me figure out why they do not just release the things on DVD at the same time as they do at the theatres. i mean, money earned is money earned, however people chose to pay to see it. no?
i have no doubts that i will bear witness to this film eventually, but i am in no rush. some "making of" thing on TV recently suggested that this lad playing the caped flying machine looks like a reasonable mimic of Christopher Reeve, but the problem could well be Lex Luthor. Kevin Spacey is a fine actor, if one pretends that the over-hyped, over-achieving and general disaster area that is American Beauty just never happened, but Gene Hackman was so outlandishly OTT and class in the originals that i cannot see how the more "restrained" interpretation of the part will hold up. ho hum, will be worth a look to see exactly what footage of Marlon Brando they have inserted and how.
be most excellent to each other, and if you want to see Superman return, please try to do so via legal, conventional means.
