SR sequel delayed.

Seriously though, pause the DVD and check out the scrabble board.

I don't own the DVD but you've got me curious. What's it say?

^ Me too, the only word I remember jumping out was "alienation"

Warner needs to let the Wachowski brothers give us a Superman movie.

V for Vendetta ruled!!!!!

oh and so did the Matrix movies.

'Have you ever tried NOT being a Mutant?' is one cringeworthy line for example.

If I'm not mistaken, Joss Whedon did some script doctoring on X-Men, and that line is attributed to him.

It's very similar to dialog he wrote for Buffy's mother, Joyce, in Becoming, Part II, after Buffy told her she (Buffy) was a vampire slayer:

"I mean, have you tried not being a slayer?"

I loved Superman Returns. I thought it was filled with emotion, character, drama, love.... and i was dreading it would be a generic super hero film. I didn't want it to end.

I hope Singer DOES come back for the next one.... and as for the Gay thing, if you're looking for a connection.. you're going to find one. Being alienated or an outcast does NOT automatically mean he's talking about gay. What about black? or disabled? or any other number of minorites.

You need to stop looking into things so much.

X-2. Whedon had nowt to do with that one.

I thought the film was ok, not great by any means - the main reason is that the film never made up it's mind. Was it going to be a homage to Donner, was it going to be campy, was Superman going to be a troubled superhero (yet again, with that one ), I couldn't find my way? In all honesty, the film would have worked without Lex Luthor - and that to me was a real shame.

I recently saw the DVD again and my opinion of it has changed some what. I think it was a fantastic sequel to the Donner films. I think it works great as a final chapter. But a poor first chapter. But I will add that I do think as first chapters go, it was better than X-Men #1.

I've said from the beginning that the whole reprising Donner was a mistake. Singer's a great director, but this direction was a poor choice.

And the gay thing, I really don't see it. Generic "outcast" comments apply to Superman and mutants and don't automatically mean "gay."

I'd like to see Singer off the project, bring back Abrams and keep Routh.

Or dump the SR continuity completely and make a huge budget movie with the Smallville cast and continuity since the series has to end next year.

Jason dying isn't a bad idea, or he could become Bizarro himself.

I'd love a Smallville movie or swapping Routh for Abrams. Hell, I'd love a swap of Abrams on Superman and Singer on Star Trek.

Well, let's see ...

I've got the following: HILL, LULL, FOOT, FEET (referring to a fettish, but not exclusively a gay one), ALIENATION (ambiguous, and I don't mean ambiguously gay), VIEW (as in "homosexual view"), VOICED (as in, "He voiced his homosexual view.), NARY, ZOO, STOP, PADDING (or PADDINGS ... it's kinda shaken up), HILL, BENT, FARE, RARER, MEN (gotta be gay), TEE (is golf gay? ) FAX, WAY (as in, "Oh, he's that way?") ...

Oooo, here's a good one! SQUIRMS. As in, "Someone on this board squirms a bit too much at the thought of gay people."

Seriously, man, was this just a joke to get people to look at the Scrabble board? 'Cause I don't get it.

SOOOOO funny. I have a buddy who is friends with Michael Dougherty (I've met him about a dozen times) one of the screenwriters, and they are all gay. They are nice, because I heard that the gays are nice, anyway, there were no gay overtones for superman returns....but doesn't florida look like supermans peep....?
