I agree that when we were watching the original Superman TV we thought his flying scenes were awesome...then they movie makers kept raising the bar on special effects.

To be honest, I was never a big fan of any of the Superman movies or t.v. shows. As a kid, I was always frustrated by how stupid the people of Metropolis were not to recognize that Clark was Superman just because of his stupid glasses. I thought it was ridiculous... he didn't change his hair or add a fake mustache and beard. Just the glasses. And NOBODY noticed! Bah!! <br /><br /><br />Yes, obviously, I never outgrew it. :-)Nickyhttp://www.weworkforcheese.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-45604262933391713532013-06-06T20:42:43.371-05:002013-06-06T20:42:43.371-05:00Yes, that would be fun to find several valuable ol...Yes, that would be fun to find several valuable old comics....I never tend to find things of value though, so I am not holding my breath.

But I am hopeful this will be a decent movie. I find the Super Hero genre kind of interesting. The historical information how the super heroes characters came to be is even fascinating. So many of them were written by Jewish men at the beginning of WWII and had overtones of religious ideals in the first stories. Stan Lee (Lieber) actually had The Thing pray with a Torah visible over a fallen comrade to bring him back to life. (although I don't remember who he was praying over.)<br /><br />I have seen trailers of the Lone Ranger movie and it nearly looks like a spoof. It's going to be hard to take it seriously as a modern version with Depp wearing a crow on his head.<br /><br />You're right, of course, all of this is pretty trivial in the big scheme of things. The value of that book means nothing in a real historical context....well unless I find one...then it will be super (no pun intended) important.<br /><br />Hope your work levels off some.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-15250484823992889562013-06-06T07:06:51.910-05:002013-06-06T07:06:51.910-05:00I agree with you...Christopher Reeve was the ultim...I agree with you...Christopher Reeve was the ultimate Superman.

On the other hand, the modern update worked really well for Batman ... Batman Begins is one of my favorite movies. The update I'm not sure I'm going to like is The Lone Ranger, with Johnny Depp as Tonto. But I usually see them all in spite of getting tired of overblown special effects. I love it, by the way ... "the most important comic book in the history of comic books." How important is that in the scheme of things, anyway?<br /><br /><br />Sorry to be a day late, by the way.
