I loved R's voice.  So many of the tics from the comics (hurm) that I couldn't imagine as real noises a person made, and he made them all sound right.  Very creepy and skeezy and sad.  I think he nailed the tragic squalor of R.

I swear when Ryan Reynolds bought it in the RIPD trailer, I honestly thought "They re-made Robocop with Dane Cook?!"  The saddest thing is, while I was horrified, I didn't find it unbelievable that that had actually happened.

If they had thought of that, they probably would have changed it, since it contradicts all of the rest of the extremely heavy handed imagery and symbolism they put into the film.

Skipskattle:  There is another group of people who went into it with an open mind, don't particularly care about the Donner films, and just wanted to see a good movie, but still thought it sucked.  I saw it with 2 friends and we all felt this way.  The script is terrible.  It's not that it changes Superman, it's that…

He totally shot people with missles from his bat-plane.  Im sure some of them died.

Not the last of his kind cause he sent all the other Kryptonian bad guys to the Phantom Zone.  Including at least one female he might want to hunt down if he actually has any interest in continuing his species.

Here's something I wanted cleared up.  Were Zod and Jor-El actually long term friends who came to a tragic disagreement over this one issue (as the dialog explicitly states multiple times) or was Zod an evil monster who hated Jor-El as the rest of the movie seemed to imply?

Plot holes aren't things that happen off screen.  Bruce got back somehow.  He's Bruce.  Plot holes are when the movie contradicts its own rules.  Like the planet is going to be destroyed.  And we can send a baby off to a safe planet we've chosen, and we can exile our enemies into another universe or whatever, but we…

I'm one of the few not bothered by the DKR but this was waaaay too much for me.  The first 20 minutes (the Krypton part) makes no sense at all.  Nothing in it holds up to any kind of logical thought. 

That's actually pretty interesting but no way do I believe the writers of this crap movie thought of that.

When the bad Kryptonian lady gave her evolution speech (We are evolution and evolution always wins) shortly after one of several shots of Superman in Christ-post, I laughed out loud.

Persia:
They lost their business when the highway was put in.  So they had lost their business relatively recently.  And presumably they owned the place, so Norman was just scraping by on nothing like many desperate people do.  I still see weird creepy semi-abandoned looking hotels that are open for business today.

I teach College Freshman and I see the same thing.  They are really good at Facebook and texting but a shockingly high number have to be taught how to double space and change fonts.  I have at least a few students every semester that I have to sit down and walk through logging into their email.  It's kind of scary.

Yeah, it's a shame the writer's of the movie didn't think of that, but they didn't because they never even saw that plothole.  She is totally surprised when he is hired.

It just seemed too simple too me.  Like if he could just snap his neck why didn't he do that before presumably thousands of people were killed in their battle?  I thought Superman and Zod were more indestructible than that, even to each other.  If they could just snap each other's necks, why didn't Zod kill Superman…

Are you referring to the reviewers?  Cause I don't think they're speculating.  They don't have to concede the possinility they may have gotten it right.  They actually watched the movie and then decided, for them, he DID NOT get it right.

My friend's band opened for them.  Zia got on stage during their set and started pulling the guitar player's cables out.  He kicked her off the stage (literally, foot to ass while still playing the song).  Then there was a lot of fronting around that the Dandy's were going to fight them or something (ha!).  Pretty…

I think you are, but you have to have a clear favorite in case there is ever war.

Dig, a documentary about the Dandys and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. 

It's the movie.  Many people who watch the movie, despise them (mostly just Courtney looks bad, the rest of them come off ok).  I don't mind Courtney's desperate careerism, but I will always be way more of a fan of Anton's sociopathically focused vision.
