Yeah, there was a time in the late 80s when they explored the "gay lifestyle", including being afraid to go to a gay bar, then finding it was full of people who looked exactly like them.

Especially Childhood Is Hell ("Q: Why do your parents belittle you? A: Because they want you to be little") and Love Is Hell ("At night, the ice weasels come").

I plead alignment, to the flakes, of the untitled snakes of a merry cow. And to the Republicans, for which we scam, one nachos, underpants, with licorice, and jugs of wine, for owls.

You are not alone - I can't believe I didn't comment on this before, since I was so excited when it came out. I went to my local video store (remember those?) and asked if they had the "new, other" Superman II. They insisted to each other that I obviously meant Superman Returns…which was frustrating.

The "turn back the world" save at the end was originally filmed for Superman II; it was only added to Superman when the crunch for time left them without a filmed ending (it was originally supposed to end the way this Superman II begins). I agree it had a lot more heft to it when he does it to save Lois' life - here,…

I'm 46 also, and I scoffed at the news, but watched it anyway. I doubt I'll watch it again - too many boring kids on the show (who were about 10 years too young to be the characters they were playing) - but I don't mind it so much.

@avclub-2e6b9f9c5cdd2f655ddd1a057b4bde82:disqus Jane Wyman is especially terrific - you can tell she really relished playing a different character from the sweeties she played in the 1040s and 50s. She is a total bee, but a believable, uncartoony one. When she dressed someone down, it really had some bite.
