SUPERMAN (2025): Superman, aided by Krypton the dog and the "Justice Gang," battles Lex Luthor. Sloppily-plotted, lore-heavy, obvious, by-the-comic-book feature enacting exactly the formula you expect from James Gunn. Disclaimer: I don't generally like superhero movies, and particularly not Superman movies, and Gunn is very hit or miss for me--when he's being lazy, as he is here, he's a miss. 2.5/5.

"Superman: The Movie" (1978)
The last son of the doomed planet Krypton arrives on Earth and grows up to become a mild mannered reporter and all powerful hero who faces off against the villainous Lex Luthor (the "greatest criminal mind of our time!")
... I don't know when I'll get around to seeing the new "Superman" movie that's now in theaters, so I decided to revisit the one I grew up on. Christopher Reeve is still THE definitive screen Superman in my book, leading an absolutely stacked cast (Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, etc.).
The special FX were pretty whiz-bang in 1978, but haven't aged very well in some places. Otherwise, this is still a fun ride down memory lane.

strange how so many of those 60s and 70s musicians who joined the 27-club (or 26 in Nick Drake's case) already sounded like wisened old timers...

Quote from: pacman000 on July 16, 2025, 09:31:10 PMThe Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries

Kinda feels like a live action Scooby Doo tho without the jokes. Cool intro. Second episode has some virtual sets, used to make the Hardy Boys fall through a floor, shrink, etc. Miniature sets; the actors stand in front of a blue screen. Pretty cool for 1977.

One of my fave TV series as a kid. The one I most remember is THE MYSTERY OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE where the house in question is the Bates House from Psycho 😂😅

Indeed.

Especially if you see how corrupt our government is. 😳😳
