All other things aside (and anyone can feel free to chime in here), am I the only person alive who thought Man of Steel was flat out excellent? I can't seem to find a soul in the real world who agrees with me on this one. The best I can hope for is "it wasn't bad, but it was no Thor!" Ugh. Light years beyond any other film adaptation of any other superhero EVER except for Nolan's Batman (and, when I'm in some rate for of nostalgia, Tim Burton's Batman to a much much lesser extent).

Oh and I had some final thought on Scorcese and the influence of Goodfellas on both genre pics and ensemble pieces, but for the life of me I can't remember a goddamn word of it. Blah

i don't think i've bothered seeing man of steel. but if it's the one about amy adams in the north pole or something i think it was an unmitigated piece of shit.

for my taste anyway.

i'm really not much into superheros. really haven't been since i was 9. i went from superhero comix to astérix to war novels to fantastic novels to grownup novels to film.

i do like some children's films though. but superheros are in that in-between space that doesn't do it for me. miyazaki >> stan lee.

i did like avengers though because it was funny. joss whedon can do great stuff.

oh i also liked x-men 2.

oh and hellboy. del toro rules.

batman zzzzzzz. i had a batman scooter when i was 3 though. without even knowing what banging was, i wanted to bang catwoman.
