When David Tracy offers to buy it.

Ironically, that is where they all died.   Someone made a photo opportunity while they were waiting for tow trucks.

I still love the timeless design. It really doesn’t look as dated as the Supras of any generation, and it had proper luxury and a V8 option. I would love to find the JZ engine with the 5 speed manual that hasn’t been molested by a teenager. A buddy of mine has the JDM imported Toyota Soarer version of this same car…

THE VAN HAS THE FIVE SPEED STICK OMGROFLCOPTER

I agree with David Tracy. That is very troubling.

I think in the late 1970's when Donner was making the first two Superman movies, Lex Luthor still wasn’t a hypercompetent businessman. He was the mad, but highly intelligent scientist in a green and purple jumpsuit who pretty openly devised schemes to defeat Superman. The concept of Lex-as-a-businessman didn’t arrive…

I did always think this was cool:

My biggest complaint regarding Superman in cinema is that nobody can really get Lex Luthor right. He should be a hypercompetent businessman who views Superman as a figure stealing his place as humankind’s absolute best, but both Donner and Singer chose to make him into a shady real estate baron.

I am also much more forgiving of this movie’s flaws than I should be. :)

This movie gets two things right. That plane rescue sequence and casting Brandon Routh. His turn as Ray Palmer in the Arrowverse shows he has exactly the right amount of “Aw, shucks” type charisma to play the Big Blue Boy Scout but the script and direction of Returns doesn’t let him show that.

2006 Posey pretty much was the avatar of ideal Lois Lane, which made Bosworth’s miscasting so much more apparent.

i remember watching this in the cinema and thinking “why the fuck isn’t Parker Posey playing Lois Lane”. She was perfect for the role instead of that kate actress. 

That plane crash scene- holy SHIT, I’d forgotten how incredible that actually was. 

The rest of the movie still had some nice grace notes: his flying through town making no noise other than the flapping of his cape (compared to the near-mandatory fwhooshing of other Supermen); his tearing round grabbing plummeters and dealing with the damage from Luthoria before he heads of to confront Lex; the…

No, Man of Steel was Zach Snyder’s Objectivist power fantasy of an asshole who only seems to save people he personally cares about and is fine with dooming his own species to extinction by destroying the Kryptonian Baby Grapes, the only known means to repopulate the species, for no real reason.

Yeah, that plane rescue sequence is still thrilling. Superman just flying through debris, instead of dodging it, was a nice touch. What’s especially agonizing is how early in the film that is, and then it’s almost nothing after that. It never truly soars again. It’s a frustrating experience. I’d been hyped for the…

Yep, that’s an E30 dash with some gauges where the radio was. So we’ve got Porsche, Chevy, Chrysler, and BMW parts in this thing. 

Which quickly approached bankruptcy without Jobs. 

I’d say the third gen, as well. Clean lines, very 80s (pop-up headlights!), well proportioned, and almost sleek.
