That scene where Clark takes off his glasses, straightens up and suddenly  Superman is standing there with that gorgeous grin on his face just give me tingles all over.  Reeve was AMAZING, and I think he deserves a posthumous Oscar for this performance.

Right?!  It should be an ironclad rule that this theme opens every film.  It’s just not Superman without this historic piece.

Richard Donner said this exact thing on one of special features, and now I hear it every time as well.  *sniff*  

I can’t listen to it without crying.

I’m good with the way Zod goes out in II. I think it’s done with the right balance of force and yet is not overtly horrific. Shattered spine? I dunno, I think that’s reaching a bit.

I love you, Angrier Geek! I knew you’d be here to stand by the greatest Superman that we’ve yet seen.

I also have to say that I find this “article” needlessly judgmental and bordering on flat-out mean.

My argument against the validity of this line is always going to be that those who forget the past are doomed to relive it, and TLJ proves this at multiple points.

The film wishes to present itself as breaking from the past, and it does this in two ways, but both approaches, IMHO, work directly against that goal:

Funnily enough, all this shrieking and flapping of feathers just made me want to go back and play D2 again.  I got bored of D3 after a month.  The story was bad and the gameplay, while pretty, didn’t feel as interesting or as tactically challenging as D2.

Ryu got DeCAPitated!  8-D

“Standards were a bit different then.”

Right?! The cinematic necrophilia that Disney was promising to dig up and drag around with all their “new” films gave me zero confidence in their ability to add anything original or interesting to this franchise, and the three movies that they’ve released so far have resoundingly confirmed that assumption for me.

I believe that this has been officially debunked:

The only way I’d want to see a stuffed Ewok in Star Wars again is if a vehicle rolled over it and crushed it like the human skulls underneath an HK’s treads at the beginning of “The Terminator.”

Oh, yes! I take it down every now and then just to re-read Arthur C. Clarke’s “The Sentinel” There is a paragraph near the end of that story that has, for me, one of the greatest single sentences in all of science fiction:

Haven’t seen “Justice League” and I doubt that I will, but this effect from “The Thing” 2011 was supposed to be (I’m guessing) some kind of representation of the alien’s ships computer.

However, it ends looking like some beta version of Tetris where the game just plays itself. As for the creature effects, I wasn’t…

I have loved John W. Campbell Jr’s short story ever since I first read it in “Reel Future.”

It could have been cool, and it started out pretty well, but goddamn did it go south (haha) very quickly! I was almost laughing near the end at how BAD it got, especially CGI effects like this:

Instead of Yandy, why don’t they just be honest and call themselves:

His films are poorly lit in a poor attempt to hide how poor they are of talent, inspiration and creative ability.
