My niece took me to see Superman at the Imax, and I'm glad I went to see it. not only was it beautiful and moving (the first bit) it inspired me like crazy, it reinforced my love for the Boys. You know, Brandon did a nice job-he was a good Superman, he was a decent Clark. Spacey wasn't bad, he wasn't that clown horror Hackman was. I wish he'd played it just a little scarier though, the parts he freaked were great.

Watching Brandon made me realize that Thomas will probably aways be my Superman, and Mikey will always be my Lex.

And, I'm going to kick both their asses something fierce in the next story. Because I love them and love hurts.

I have love for what Singer did even though yeah, I have some issues with the film and its redundancy. Of course, the love I have for the movie in no way mitigates the love I have for SV and Mt. Welling. Which means now I have a minimum of three Clex incarnations in my head: Justice League/Superman TAS, Smallville and Superman Returns. Oy!

lol!! I *love* JLA Lex, and DC has been very interesting with Lex. So sure, I get the multiple loves. *G*

One thing I liked so much about the movie was that the kid made flying look like the most fun you could have,and that his powers weren't an unfortunate affliction that reminded him daily what a freak he was--teenage Clark was loving the hell out of it!

Lex Luthor: Man of Steel! LOVE IT!

Right? Singer's take reminded me of Superman TAS with that. Except the animated Clark started out a bit mopey, but the flying's what changed his mind about being a "freak."

You know my theory about Smallville Clark and why he doesn't fly (beyond the fact that it's hella expensive *g*)? Flying is the last thing that separates him from the rest of us. Not flying is an act of will for Clark, a conscious choice. The moment he embraces that difference? He becomes Superman.

Omgosh, yes, yes! That's so true! What a wonderful moment that would be too--everything that happened before would be nearly meaningless compared to what was about to happen, in a way.
