Everybody’s Chattin’ – Vol. 26
Happy Friday everyone! It's the last day of May but sadly I'm still wearing jackets these days... with umbrellas in tow!! It's been a pretty lame Spring, and it looks like it's gonna be slow going Summer too 😦 But hey, I'll be seeing Man of Steel is exactly 11 days, so THAT definitely puts …
Superman: The Movie in 1978, The Year
…
An excellent historical perspective of my favorite superhero film. Putting Superman: The Movie in the context of that era made me appreciate this a whole lot more!

Random Thoughts: Man of Steel casting ideas
Upon hearing news last week that Zack Snyder & co. are looking for a middle-aged Superman (though he specifically mentioned 35-40, now since when is that middle aged??!), I immediately conjured up a list of actors previously starring in Snyder's movies worth considering. But before I posted that list, my blogger friend Sam from Banana …

Scene Spotlight: Superman rescues Lois – Superman: The Movie
This might seem like a completely random choice today, but in fact I'm sort of inspired by Kick-Ass' err... kick-ass box office this weekend. The movie tells the tale of a high school student and a comic book die hard fan who decides to be a superhero himself. The action comedy also stars Nicolas Cage, …
