I mean for the love of all that is bulging, there was one shot where he looked positively... flat... down there.. That scene where he flies up to get a bit of strength from the sun.. the camera moved up his body and there was a shot of him from above and looking down.. NO damn bulge at all!! I'm like, what are they wanting to turn him into a woman??

Sheyne,
I can tell your frustration from your new avatar. I bet you were looking at Brandon's picture at the time. ;D
I have not watched the film, so can't say that I share your enthusiasm. He is very handsome in the pictures. Thanks for posting them!
Sheyne:
Jenny, believe me when I say, it was my PLEASURE.. :-*
Here's anotherie...

Chris Reeve's pants are clearly higher on the waist and higher cut on the thigh. But look at underwear back then, compared with now... With everything being "hipster" and "boy leg" these days, Brandon's were always going to reflect current fashion...

Ooooh, Sheyne, you're my heroine! Thanks for finding and posting that color pic of Chris Reeve!
Actually, "back then," I was wearing bikini briefs that were cut way lower and way higher than the brief part of Chris Reeve's costume. I also had the figger to wear them. ;D OK, OK, I know, too much sharing. ...
Here's a "digital castration" story for you. Actually, I guess it predates "digital." Anyway, about 20-odd years ago, I remember seeing a photo in a men's clothing catalogue advertising a pair of full-length running tights. You could easily tell that the model had, er, been "blessed." The next issue of the catalogue had the same photo of the same model in the same pair of tights--except that the bulge had mysteriously disappeared! Except, again, if you looked really, really closely at the page--trust me, I did--you could see a "ghost" of the crotch bulge! :o
Sheyne:
That's pretty funny, Jeff.. :laugh: :laugh: And no probs whatsoever in finding the Chris Reeve pic. Just do a search in Google Images "Christopher Reeve as Superman".. there are some truly beautiful pictures of him. I chose the one that's on here, obviously cause we wanted to compare the red briefs. But there's some gorgeous face and upper body shots of him. My god, he was a beautiful man in his day. His story is unbelievably sad and when they eventually make a movie about his life - and they will, they have to - I hope Brandon Routh is still young enough to play him. He'd do a fabulous job. Just IMO, of course! :P
Another pic for the hell of it.. ;D
