He's Super, Thanks For Asking
Some photos have started popping up online from the new Bryan Singer Superman movie, Superman Returns. I liked hearing that Singer wanted to continue with the franchise of the classic 70's Donner/Lester films, rather than starting all over and "modernizing" the character.
And these images, found on Latino Review by way of Ain't It Cool News, seem to confirm that the movie will have a cool kind of retro style.
This is, apparently, the Fortress of Solitude. Pretty spiffy. I aso dig the leathery look of the cape. Is this post particularly nerdy all of the sudden, or is it just me?
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet....
Kevin Spacey finally looks back to his old crazy bastard self, instead of the award-grubbing weenie we've been saddled with ever since Pay It Forward. It looks like he's genuinely going for an evil Lex Luthor, as opposed to Gene Hackman's "Moe from Three Stooges" take on the character.
Seriously, I love the Donner films, and I love the cartooniness of the Hackman and Ned Beatty performances, but that's the one element of the old movies I think could stand an update. Lex Luthor never really feels like a credible threat. He's in the second movie entirely as comic relief, leaving the actual villain duties to Terrence Stamp.
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
So, yeah, a truly badass Lex Luthor, like an egomaniacal capitalist nutjob who's truly bent on world domination, that's really what this country needs.

One word to sum up your blog and life, as you speak your mind, to an invisible crowd, is Pathetic. Maybe working at a video store for the rest of your life is an acheivement, maybe it isnt so you think writing can earn you the respect you been needing, but after reading a couple of stuff you have written, I realize, you have nothing good or anything of calibre to even give what you write any sort of appreciation. I realize you have failed, and what you write is a beleif to signify that idea. Your a bad critic, but than again you dont even deserve the title of being a critic, after reading your reviews and your comments on movies, you are nothing but another moviegoer fanboy/girl who thinks for themselves, what you like is the best, if you dislike it, everybody who likes it is completely wrong. My best suggestion for you is to read highly qualified critics, maybe you can have more respect for movies. Just because you seen a certain old movie or a foreign movie doesnt mean you know movies. As you have stated, CRASH is horrible, but than again, it will indeed have nominations this oscar season, and I hate to let you know, but you have nothing going in your life, to come close to what Paul haggis or any writer director producer you dislike have acheived, when they ask you what you do, you say proudly to them that you work at a video store, and recommend them a movie you love, just to feel better about yourself, it helps you get through the day, change your name ,its horrible, find a new career, outside the internet, these things are bad for you.
Mr. Welles gives an impassioned rant, and has an apparently devastating grasp on English grammar and syntax. He makes some convincing points. You know, I never particularly liked Hitler's work, but he was extremely successful at it for a while there, so that's at least something. And while you may think that it's a bit severe to compare Haggis to one of the cruelest dictators in history, you're wrong. I have no choice but to agree with Welles. Fuck you, Lons, you...damn think-for-yourselfer.
