Thursday Thirteen: 13 things about Superman Returns

June 29th, 2006

Superman Returns

Thirteen Things about Superman Returns

I took Max to see Superman Returns for his 9th birthday. I took the afternoon off of work, and with two other moms, loaded up a couple cars with kids and went off to the air conditioned movie theater to see the new super hero movie. These are my simplistic and superficial impressions of the movie and the movie going experience (I’ll try not to give anything important away:

  1. First and foremost, Brandon Routh is so breathtakingly beautiful that it almost hurts my heart.
  2. I would prefer that PG-13 meant bad language and not gratutious violence. There isn’t too much gore, but there is one scene that I sat through cringing and wishing my son were sitting next to me so I could cover his eyes.
  3. According to Kevin Spacey, he shaved his head even though Gene Hackman wore a skull cap.
  4. Over, it was a good move. It was entertaining, the action was good, and they kept with the original look and feel. But a tad too long.
  5. Brandon Routh is a beautiful boy. Did I mention that already?
  6. Lois Lane is a lousy mother.
  7. A moive theater is not a good place to stay on your diet or eat healthy.
  8. Kevin Spacey is a great actor and is awesome in everything he’s in (except Seven…don’t even get me started on that abomination).
  9. Going to the movies with a bunch of kids jacked up on soda and sugar is sort of a bad idea.
  10. I’m really glad I didn’t see the movie before taking the Florida/Missouri trip since I’m already terrified to fly.
  11. Why can’t I remember what else I’ve seen Parker Posey in?
  12. I wish they would sell veggie dogs in movie theaters.
  13. It’s getting harder and harder to believe that Lois Lane can’t make the connection between Clark and Superman.
