On the eve of the latest installment ( and much anticipated) of the Superman franchise, I being the Superman-iac that I am...and yes i just fucking said Superman-iac..and yes its fucking lame...but those are the cards i was dealt and yes ive seen a hilary duff movie so FUCK YOU...jesus, im so sorry- that was just my midday breakdown. but the truth of the mater is that i am watching Superman The Movie - and yes...its a beloved classic because its old- and it has its uplifting moments and general superman mythos that everyone loves to see - and everyone realizes that yes it is campy and that christopher reeves became the iconic mold of how superman was supposed to be - and margot kidder as lois lane is frightening, because A) she looks old and B) picturing her completely freaking out and going on a drug binge ultimately winding up in some fucking families back yard in a california suburb missing her front teeth-makes me me really happy because someone in the public eye losing their mind and going batshit crazy cracks me up--but not even those things make it a "bad" movie...but it is disturbing and i'll tell you why: after the "superman saving the day" montage in STM (Superman The Movie) the final clip is of good ol' supes saving a little girls kitten out of a tree (for real not the new perverted meaning of "saving a little girls kitten out of a tree" that me and my friends use) and after he saves Frisky (The Cat) and proceeds to fly away, the young girl goes inside yelling to her mother what just happened and how a man flew in and saved frisky out of the tree, as any excited youngster who just saw a man FUCKING FLY would be-the best part is this - after the girl says all of this - best part - proceeds to say "what did i tell you about lying!?" - no big deal right? - wrong - because IMMEDIATELY after saying this you hear the sound of a hand SLAPPING a face!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT - the mom HIT her little kid in the FACE for being, of all things, A LITTLE FUCKING KID!! - that or the little pigtailed girl wasn't about to take any sass off her cranky old bitch of a mom - but thats a little less likely, still funny though - so im assuming that richard donner had severe mommy issues while filming this movie - and probably did alot of Acid- im done now
