BRING THEM BACK TO US!<BR/><BR/>Francine-- I suspect you are fun to take to the movies. This reminds me of another super-hero movie moment. In Batman Returns (Hmmmmm), Catwoman licked Batman on the face and (someone) said YUUUUUCK! very loud, which was a good moment for everyone in the theater.<BR/><BR/>Matt-- Yeah. This has been an issue in comics for a couple of years, actually. The globalization of things makes it weird to think that an alien who can be around the world in a few minutes somehow chooses to stand for "the American way". Which then means we have to define the American way. And why hasn't Superman gone in and cleaned up Iraq, anyway? I can answer that one, at least. It is because, as this movie showed us, clearly, he is too busy thinking about getting Lois in the sack.Matt Mikalatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279070118483678882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-1152488643513867622006-07-09T16:44:00.000-07:002006-07-09T16:44:00.000-07:00Did anyone when the editor was listing the things ...Did anyone when the editor was listing the things he wanted to know now that Superman was back, "the American way" didn't make the cut. He just asked, "Does he still stand for truth and justice?" Apparently "the American way" isn't very popular right now and might hurt international marketing...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723414883886657305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-1152393655078110102006-07-08T14:20:00.000-07:002006-07-08T14:20:00.000-07:00so you know the part where superman first comes ba...so you know the part where superman first comes back and he confronts Lois about the whole pulitzer-prize-winning article "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman"? She says, "The world doesn't need a savior - and neither do I." At which point I whispered rather loudly, "Yes you do - His name is Jesus!" That was the best part of the movie for me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-1152338583536964632006-07-07T23:03:00.000-07:002006-07-07T23:03:00.000-07:00talk about disappointing movies ...superman and pi...talk about disappointing movies ...<BR/><BR/>superman and pirates 2 were both pretty blah, where are the quality movies these days?Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034208600237076535noreply@blogger.com
