In other words, they're exactly as effective as those anti-drug films they used to show us in Junior High, so I guess I owe <i>Keep Off The Grass</i> and <i>Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb</i> an apology.<br /><br />Suezee, I'm sure George Reeves has his partisans in Greater Crapperstan, but seeing how <i>The Adventures of Superman</i> came and went before I was born, I too fall into the Christopher Reeve camp (although I do have a soft spot for Kirk Alyn).<br /><br />GM, I've got <i>Sucker Punch</i> in my queue, but now I'm thinking I might bump it up. Snyder really does deserve his own chapter in the next book, don't you think?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-45761315390535986152014-06-23T11:16:05.261-07:002014-06-23T11:16:05.261-07:00...

I'm still skeptical that it could out-awful <i>Sucker Punch</i>, but I'll have to give it a whirl when it shows up on Netflix.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME!!!<br /><br /><i>Well, what about all the collateral damage in Avengers, huh?</i><br /><br />I get the feeling Snyder and Goyer both saw <i>The Avengers</i> and said (like a couple stoned guitar players) "I can do that". And we bought our tickets and sat down to watch <i>A Hard day's Night</i> and got the Rutles instead. There was no "real" Superman here. Nothing about this guy aligns in my head with the comix, TV, or other theatrical Supes. Like so much SF these days, this thing was all FX, and no story. And bad FX at that, seeing as how they served mostly to put the over-the-top violence over the fence and out of the park. But foul.<br />I will not be wasting any hard-earned money on <i>Batman vs Superman</i>, I can tell you that.
