thanks for all the birthday wishes *g*

Just have to say, I have the best mom, EVER. I now own a copy of The DC Comics Encyclopedia. *geeks out*

Saw Superman, and I liked it. I really liked it. It wasn't as good as Batman, of course, but it was up there. If you don't pay attention to the plot, and just concentrate on the pretty, all will be well.

I do have a question for anyone who's seen it. , was one of the planets the meteor-thing shot by Apokalypse?

If so, you know, what an awesome little shout out.

Hey,

Saw it and loved it. Brandon Routh made a great, vulnerable Supes (and pinged my Gaydar like Whoooa) Jimmy Marsden had more screentime and dialogue than in the entire X-MEN series and Jimmy Olsen was a big ol' Queen. Plus I loved the little, subtle touches- Superman's cape *not* moving when he was in space, the way he used his hands to slow and alter his flight pattern, the cannibalistic Pomeranian *g*.

The only thing I didn't care for was Jar Jar Jason and Martha Kent being introduced then forgotten about.

I agree. It would have been easier to go with the tacky/corny route while in tights, but he managed to avoid that. However, I do think his 'Clark' needed some work.

Jimmy Marsden had more screentime and dialogue than in the entire X-MEN series

I was impressed with him too.

Jimmy Olsen was a big ol' Queen.

He was quite happy to see Clark again, wasn't he? *g*

The only thing I didn't care for was Jar Jar Jason

Actually, I didn't mind Jason as much as I thought I would--and, I really really thought I would. I think he redeamed all the vacant stares with the piano-fu.

and Martha Kent being introduced then forgotten about.

Well, she did show up at the hospital, but she stayed outside with the waiting throngs. It's not like she could have gone in and demanded to see her alien son, you know?

You too? *sets out kryptonite laced carrots*

Hey,

I've never really cared for Superman- who gives a toss about a hero with no darkness in him and who cannot be harmed by conventional means? Routh made him more approachable and friendly.

Loved how Richard learned all about Clark from Jimmy, not Lois!

The Piano-Fu was ace, true. Although poor Jason's going to be firing blanks when he grows up, as hybrids of two different species are nigh always sterile *g*

Also enjoyed Gay Aussie Rules star turned actor Ian Roberts as Lex's camera wielding thug.

:deflects your Kryponite carrots with super-eyeball: C'mon, it's Routh/Marsden. How can I not slash them?! *eg*

I've never really cared for Superman-

While I'm still a Bat-family girl at heart, I think what started my push towards Superness was Tom Welling's cheekbones. *g*

Hey,

He is pretty, true, but the show plumetted in interest for me after the first season. Much like THE OC, things got a whole lot less homoerotic in season 2 (er...not that I ever watched THE OC, you understand). Plus Welling then did the ultra-shite remake of one of my fave movies, JOHN CARPENTER'S THE FOG. I was like "Bad Tom! Papa Spank!"
