I hear ya...
And yeah, I was very moved by the father/son speech as well. I know some people who HATED the recycled dialogue from the original film, but I thought it was a nice touch. And of course, being spoken by such a beautiful looking man definitely helps. :P (that's me licking my lips btw)
Although, i agree with Del - there are a lot of "please explain" moments with Lois's kid. It wasn't dealt with very well in the cinema release. I would like to think that there are a whole lot of scenes that help that simply had to get cut because of the film's already impressive length and that the DVD might help shed some light. Or maybe they WANT it ambiguous to entice us back for the sequel.
Mind you I wouldn't care if the sequel was 2 and a half hours of nothing but Brandon Routh flying in slo-mo... ;D
*goes giddy at the thought*
*dies*

I totally agree! I just saw the movie last night, and my thoughts mirror those of many of you, but especially Sheyne! I found myself getting impatient with scenes that did NOT have Brandon in them. I didn't care for this portrayal of Lois (not the actress's fault) and there were a few plot questions. The effects were stunning, Kevin Spacey captured the essence of Lex--- BUT.... all I could do was anxiously wait for the next frame of film that contained Brandon. Yeah, that's right, I'm a lecherous old horndog. And if he IS gay, all the better--- that way, when I meet him ::) and he turns down my advances, it won't be because I'm an overweight woman old enough to be his mother, it will simply be because he has a preference for men. ;D See? Ego intact. (Ha!) As I was coming back through the lobby afterwards I was admiring all the different posters of Brandon the Superman movie, and the young assistant manager offered me TWO of the 11.5"x17" posters. I may have to put them in a different room from my Jack & Ennis stuff... my brain might shortcircuit otherwise.
starboardlight:
Lucky dog! Melinda. 2 posters! Did you ask for them? or did the asst mngr recognize you from before and offered them automatically?
Sashca1007:
Aw, Nipith, cut it out! :laugh: NO, he didn't recognize me, and NO it wasn't the same theater where I got my BBM things. My BBM posters and mylars came from the Embarcadero, the Sequoia in Mill Valley, and the Aquarius in Palo Alto. I'm trying to tell you guys, it never hurts to ask!. Last night I was at the Crow Canyon (Regal) theater in San Ramon. 'Superman' was playing at closer theaters, but Crow Canyon has one of those bigger, curved screens that I knew would be perfect for seeing Br.. Superman on. (IMAX is too much, makes me queasy) I did ask if they'd be giving away the big posters, and he said I might be able to get one at the end of the run, but the employees usually snag them first (his words)-- so, he offered me the smaller ones 'to tide me over'!
I'm looking at one right now, and it is doing a sufficient.... no, excellent job of 'tiding' ;) .
starboardlight:
I should do that with "Cars" or "Over the Hedge" and give them to my niece and nephew as presents. I think they'd get a kick out of that.
