kbordson 8 #1 July 13, 2006 *Warning* Reading further will give info on the movie if you haven't seen it yet but do wish to do so. Went and saw Superman 2 last night, and I was suprised by how pleasant the movie was.... it did bring up one discussion point though.... Should Lois give up a good man who loves her and has been with her for the past 5 years while Ka-el was off exploring his past? Is unobtainable love better than contented love? Cuz although she might love Supie... and he her... that relationship would be filled with heartache (big dinner planned and he's off saving some small country from a hurricaine) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #2 July 13, 2006 Hollywood (and fiction in general) rarely protrays relationships accurately. There are very few people in real life who would leave a long term relationship for an ex (and if they do, it's even more rarely the right choice, nor does it last very long). Of course, if said ex was the man of steel, I suppose it might be slightly more likely to occur.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornholio 0 #8 July 13, 2006 Right, she didn't think that Clark was the father, but she though Superman was the father. I think it was pretty obvious when the boy pushed the piano through the bad man. She still hasn't made the connection that Clark = Superman. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah!

Obviously you didnt see all the movies with Christopher Reeve. Lois and Superman most definitely did the deed. She even discovered that Clark and Superman were the same guy. Clark gave up his powers to be with her but then General Zod showed up and started wrecking the earth. Zod! Clark went and got his powers back for the sake of mankind and caused Lois to "forget" that Clark and Superman were the same guy for her own good.

The new movie obviously takes place 5 years after that This is a blog post I made a few months ago about Superman II: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Superman II: WTF? So I'm sitting here watching Superman II on HBO, either because it's one of those films I loved as a child or because I relate to movies about guys who hurtle through the sky in tights, and I'm slowly coming to the realization that this has to be one of the most ridiculous, cobbled together movies ever made. Let's ignore for a moment that Superman and the super villains repeatedly fly to the North Pole at apparently supersonic speeds with people hanging on their backs. Let's ignore that Superman talks about playing a game at school on Krypton (his birth planet), even though the movie opens with him coming to Earth as a baby. Let's even ignore that he throws a big cellophane Superman logo at one of the villains for no apparent reason. There is only one thing I really want to know. There is a scene in the middle of the movie where Superman has decided he wants to become a human being because...Well, I'm not entirely sure, but I think it is has something to do with wanting to have sex with Lois Lane without killing her. Anyway, he enters a molecule chamber where he is exposed to the rays of the red Krypton sun and turned into a normal person. Now, here is my question: When the molecule chamber turns him into a human, WHY DOES IT ALSO CHANGE HIS CLOTHES? As we watch his body go through the transformation, we also see his clothes transformed from his Superman costume into a pair of tight black slacks and a white button down shirt with a butterfly collar. How did a bad 70s ensemble get into a molecule chamber designed thousands of years ago on another planet? The last time we saw Krypton, everyone was wearing luminescent jumpsuits and playing with crystals--It didn't strike me as a planet permeated by disco culture. I won't even go into the way his hairstyle changes in the molecule chamber because I still haven't figured out how his hair changes every time he changes from Clark Kent into Superman. You never see Clark Kent sprint down the street, rip open his shirt, and then whip out a pocket mirror and restyle his hair. Now that I think about it, this movie never really made sense to me as a kid, either. But the beauty of being a kid is that you generally don't care if movies make sense or not. Oh well--I may be too old to overlook glaring holes in the film's logic, but I still get a little of that childhood tingle down my spine every time I watch Superman ask General Zod if he'd "care to step outside."I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Douva 0 #21 July 15, 2006 As a follow-up to my blog post, here is one of the bests exchanges from Kevin Smith's cult classic Mallrats: T.S. QUINT But they're engaged. BRODIE Doesn't matter; can't happen. T.S. QUINT Why not? It's bound to come up. BRODIE It's impossible--Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child? T.S. QUINT Sure, why not? BRODIE He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him. T.S. QUINT How is it that I go from the verge of hot Floridian sex with Brandi to man of steel coital debates with you in the food court? BRODIE Cookie stand isn't part of the food court. T.S. QUINT Of course it is. BRODIE The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It not like we're talking quantum physics here.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.
