what about tom welling? [sad face]

Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

You've answered your own question there.

Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Have I? I must have forgotten to tell myself the answer...

Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

His sad face. His sad, floppy face, like unto a deflated pancake. Tom Welling looks like a fish that's been having trouble lately.

Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha ha! floppy deflated pan- hey! he doesn't look like that!

besides, that "sad face" was mine. i was giving the sad face.

Giving it to Tom Welling. And he liked it so much he wears it every day.

Casting rumours abound on Superherohype.com:

Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, Van Wilder) has indeed signed on, as a earring wearing, tattooed punk that serves as Luthor's right hand man.

Famke Janssen's (X-Men 1 & 2, Goldeneye) meeting with director Bryan Singer down under was for Superman Returns, and she has snagged the role of Lora, the birth mother of The Man Of Steel, while Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs Of New York, The Last Of The Mohicans) has gotten the role of his birth father, Jor-El.

As for the other villians, Jude Law (Cold Mountain, Gattaca) has finally signed on as General Zod, and Kevin Bacon (Mystic River, Apollo 13) has signed as John Corbin.

Finally, Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile) has gotten the role of a reporter at the Daily Planet, who becomes Clarke's rival after his return. Expect WB to make these casting bits official in about a week.

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

Never mind Kevin Spacey & Kate Bosworth OFFICIALLY signing on as Lex & Lois.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

That's OLD news.

FYI: John Corbin is aka Metallo, the man with the Kryptonite heart!

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

That'll be a stretch for him, for sure.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

what do you mean?

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

Jude Law is Zod? Surely that can't be true?

Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

Aside from the fact that "Zod is Law" sounds awesome, that's pretty shitty.

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

I feel like it's karma for his good looks that he's such a horrible actor.

Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Huk-L, re:

John Corbin is aka Metallo, the man with the Kryptonite heart!

Have you seen him act? Tres stiff!

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Forgive me if this sounds condescending.

Are you talking about Kevin Bacon or John Corbett (of Sex in the City/Northern Exposure/My Big Fat Greek Wedding)?

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

OH FUDGE please condescend away I am stupid ign'ant douche and deserve the hatred of the entire interweb. (That is: yes I was thinking of CORBETT - who's John Corbin?)

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

John Corbin (sometimes Corben) is Metallo's human ID.

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

OK, so let's just pretend that I can read, I didn't make that boo-boo, and that none of this actually happened. (Huk-L, please to send Pol Manning over w/ a bottle of Calgon & a Quizno's sub.) (Not because of this - just because.)

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:22 (twenty years ago)

Which reminds me that in the first arc of Superman/Batman, it was suggested that in his pre-Metallo days, Corben may have been the dude who shot Thomas and Martha Wayne. This was never really followed up, and I'm beginning to think that this may come into play again with all the time travel chicanery going on w/r/t Batman's origins in the current arc!

Call in John Byrne to rewrite this thread.

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Explain said chicanery. It sounds like DC hav gone recton mad.

Vic Fluro, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

Okay...SPOILERS...In issue #14, three shadowy figures appear, first at the Kansas landing site of Kal-El's rocket. They kill the Kents and take the baby. Then a few years later in Crime Alley. I can't remember the exact details, if they prevent the Waynes' deaths or if they just scoop up young Bruce.
Flash forward a few years and we find that Superman and Batman a despotic rulers of Planet Earth, having been raised by the 30th Century Legion of Supervillains, Saturn Queen, Cosmic King, and Lightning Lord, who further aided their cause by preventing (usually through murder) the origins of many of the Silver Age heroes (which is actually borrowed from a Superfriends episode!).
But Wonder Woman and Uncle Sam (as well as a few other heroes, mostly Earth-X Freedom Fighters!) stage a resistance, and blow up the world by the end of #15.
#16 opens with Batman and an ailing Superman encountering intelligent apes and Kamandi the Last Boy on Earth...Supes dies...then they zap to a modern day city (I can't remember if it's Gotham or Metropolis or NYC) where they're being attacked by DC's Western heroes. Jonah Hex busts a Green-K cap in Superman's head. And they're in another reality again. Somewhere along the line they've realized that whenever one of them dies, they're both transported to another reality.
So now they meet Future Superman (last seen in S/B #2), who has allied himself with Metron and Darkseid to set the timeline straight. They're sent back to make sure their origins unfold as they're supposed to. First they make sure the Kents take baby Clark home, and then they go to Gotham to watch the Waynes die. Batman (somewhat expectedly) jumps in and grabs the killer's gun and kills him. Then he fades away, since Batman can't exist if the Wayne's don't die (so, um, maybe they did die back in the first issue?).
In #17 (which came out last week), Superman travels to a present day where there was never a Superman (since he's been in the time stream) nor a Batman (since the Waynes still live). Unchecked by the Dark Night Detective, Ra's Al Ghul has killed all the other heroes, though Sgt. Rock and the Haunted Tank patrol the streets.
Supes visits idle playboy Bruce Wayne and somehow awakens his Bat-nature (which is tough to swallow, but, um, no more than anything else in comics). They dig up the corpses of the JLA and set out to face Ra's, reviving the old gang in the Lazarus Pit while they're there.
When they finally reach The Demon's Head's chambers they find Ra's hanging out with a buttload of 30th Century baddies. TO BE CONTINUED!

Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

How does he awaken the bat nature? Does he actually hurl a bat through the window at super speed?

This all sounds terrific, which is strange because I'd heard S&B was a pile of poo.

Vic Fluro, Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

The first arc: A GIANT METEOR IS HEADED TO EARTH AND IT WILL KILL EVERYONE EXCEPT SUPERMAN! was a lot of crazy, implausible fun, the Supergirl arc was interminably dull, and then this one is fun again. It's all been scripted by Jeph Loeb, so who knows what his problem is.

As for how Superman awakens the Bat-Nature, he just takes Bruce to Crime Alley. The cool part, though, is that Bruce winds up putting on a very Infantino-esque batsuit that his father had worn at a costume party earlier that day. That's right, I said earlier THAT. DAY.

NEW PERRY WHITE!

from comicbookresources.com:
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Actor Frank Langella, who once chilled moviegoers as Count Dracula, has stepped into the role of Superman's boss, Perry White, in Bryan Singer's upcoming comic book adventure 'Superman Returns' for Warner Bros. Pictures. Hugh Laurie originally was cast in the role but bowed out because of a scheduling conflict with the Fox television series on which he stars, 'House.'"

More in the name of nostalgia than comparison, Superman: The Movie, the most successful of the Christopher Reeve big-screen entries, grossed all of $7.5 million in its opening weekend in 1978, Exhibitor Relations said.

AS IF! (though, um, movie tix were what? a buck in '78?)(and also, movies didn't necessarily open as widely, nor was there as much of a give-a-shit about SEEING IT BEFORE THE INTERNET SPOILED IT)(and also, movies had to compete with ROLLER SKATING)

pull quotes:

* "Superman returns with a bang"--Peter Travers, Rolling Stone. = Krypton explodes = BIG BANG = Jor-El is God = Superman is Jesus
* "A sleek marvel of fun"---Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly. = Yeah, I don't see WB using THAT WORD in their ads.
* "An action adventure that's as thrilling for what it means as for what it shows"--Richard Corliss, Time. = The bulge, Pt. 2
* "Will pull down stratospheric B.O. around the globe"--Todd McCarthy, Variety. = Does he have to fly with his arms raised? Oh wait, not that kind of B.O.!

Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 26 June 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

This is a glum, lackluster movie in which even the big effects sequences seem dutiful instead of exhilarating. [...] Even the editor, Perry White (Frank Langella), comes across less like a curmudgeon, more like an efficient manager.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 26 June 2006 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

Ebert's a grand fellow who certainly loves movies (that the most prominent critic in the US happens to be a genuine cinephile is indeed a miracle) but I wouldn't be inclined to trust his judgement completely:

he seems to take issue with the physical likelihood of Superman's powers and they way they're seen, just like he did w/ Spider-Man 1. He invokes Archimedes w/r/t LEVERAGE and later wishes that the Lane-Baby was sassy like a SpyKid.

Spacey as Luthor: line of Oscar winners in comic-book-adaptations gets longer
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Perry White, blustery editor of the Daily Planet, proclaims in Superman Returns that “Pulitzer Prizes are like Academy Awards. No one remembers what you got one for.”
Good thing Lex Luthor wasn’t in the room. Playing egomaniacal villain Lex is Kevin Spacey, the latest in a venerable line of Oscar recipients who have gone slumming in comic-book adaptations.
Starting with 1978’s Superman, virtually every major superhero franchise has made the leap from comics to big-screen with at least one Oscar winner on board.
For their Superman, director Richard Donner and producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind persuaded two-time Oscar winner Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, The Godfather) to wear snow-white hair as Superman’s dad and best-actor winner Gene Hackman (The French Connection) to go bald as villain Lex Luthor.
“You’ve got to credit Donner, the Salkinds, all those people who said Superman, a comic-book movie, can be an epic,” said Superman Returns director Bryan Singer, who also cast Oscar recipient Anna Paquin (The Piano) and future winner Halle Berry (Monster’s Ball) as mutant heroes in X-Men. “They really deserve the credit for credibilizing comic-book movies.”
Since then, superheroes have turned up alongside a parade of Oscar winners. Jack Nicholson (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Terms of Endearment) played the Joker in Batman. Its sequel, Batman Returns, co-starred Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter). The second sequel, Batman Forever, featured Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive).
Last year’s revival, Batman Begins, had two-time winner Michael Caine (Hannah and her Sisters, The Cider House Rules) and Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby).
Dick Tracy featured three Oscar winners — Warren Beatty (best director for Reds), Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man) and Estelle Parsons (Bonnie and Clyde) — plus two co-stars who would win Oscars shortly after, Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) and Kathy Bates (Misery).
Hulk had Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), Spider-Man had Cliff Robertson (Charly) and the Batman spinoff Catwoman came the year after Berry won best actress for Monster’s Ball.
Though Catwoman flopped, Berry said making the movie was as enjoyable as any other and that she does not let the Oscar win limit her choice of roles.
“I haven’t taken it all that seriously. It was a great night, a great moment, nobody takes it away, but I didn’t get that great moment and receive that statue operating my career with any standard people try to put on me,” Berry said. “I got it by being free enough to make individual choices, being free enough to take chances and risks, being free enough to organically choose what moves me as an artist.”
X-Men co-star Paquin agreed. Just 11 when she won the supporting-actress prize for The Piano, Paquin said the Oscar never has dictated what characters she plays.
“I think it’s pretty safe to say there’s nothing terribly conventional about my career. I mean, generally the Oscar bit doesn’t usually happen to small children or people who have never acted before,” Paquin said. “So as far as people having some kind of preconceived notion as to what exactly you’re supposed to do and how you’re supposed to do it, I just kind of have to say I’m doing it my own way.
Batman himself eventually won an Oscar. George Clooney, who starred as the Dark Knight in Batman & Robin, won the supporting-actor prize for last year’s Syriana. Other co-stars in Batman movies who went on to earn Oscars were Nicole Kidman (The Hours), Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential) and Jack Palance (City Slickers).
Superman Returns technically has three Oscar winners. Besides Spacey, it features Eva Marie Saint as Martha Kent, Superman’s adoptive mother, and archival footage of Brando as the hero’s biological father, Jor-El. Saint won the supporting-actress Oscar opposite Brando in On the Waterfront.
Fresh off his early ’70s career revival with The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris, Brando signed on for Superman and raised eyebrows among film snobs.
“Oh, pooh on them. He was so good in that role,” Saint said. “An actor acts, an actor works. That’s what I do, and I continue to do it because I love it. ... If something comes along that’s exciting, you do it, and this was exciting. It’s fun. My grandchildren think it’s cool.”
Spacey, who won Oscars for American Beauty and director Singer’s The Usual Suspects, said Superman Returns finally gave him the opportunity to work with Brando. The film features a sequence where Spacey’s Lex interacts with a recording Brando’s Jor-El left for Superman.
On the set, Spacey only had audio of Brando’s performance to work with, the filmmakers inserting images of Jor-El later. Still, it was an unexpected opportunity for Spacey to share a moment with a screen legend, one double Oscar winner to another.
“Just the whole idea of being able to do a scene with Brando was pretty flabbergasting, because you know, I’d waited my whole life to work with Brando,” Spacey said. “For me, it was just a gas.”

FROM THE WIKI, WHICH IS NEVER WRONG (EVER)!:

Superman's Kryptonian name, "Kal-El," resembles the Hebrew words ÷ì-àì, which means "voice of God."

That reminds me, I GUFFAWED (in appreciation) when Lois and Asthma-Boy were on the boat and they walked into a room and saw LUTHOR'S WIG! Nobody else in the theatre laughed. I think I was the only one who laughed loudly at the doggie-cannibalism thing too.

(by LUTHOR'S WIG, I of course mean LUTHOR'S WIGS)

I recall there being a less chilly reception in my theater for the scenes you speak of, Huk - Texans are just meaner, I guess.

Maybe I was just laughing hard cuz I was DRUNK.

Yeah, we laffed it up in NC too. I think we also laughed when the henchmen got squished.

I was probably at the screening sponsored by the Royal Canadian Society for the Prevention of Animal on Animal Crime.
