SR Novelization is Now Available!!(SPOILERS IN HERE)

[Wilde]

Hey guys! It looks like the Superman Returns novel is now on sale, and is in stock on WalWart.com:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4544846

Soon we will know everything! :D

[Excel]

Buy It!!!!!Read it!!! tell us what happens!!!

[Metropolis_Man]

Im going to search for it tommorrow. Thanks for the news Wilde!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I don't know where the book section of Wal-Mart is even at. I might go right now since I'm bored.

[Wilde]

I just called two of my local Wal Marts, and neither of them had it. But one member at the the Planet just reported that he found the book at his Wal Mart today.

So everyone start calling those local Wal Mart stores!

If anyone finds it, make sure you let us know!

[Showtime]

Why do you guys want to read it anyway? The movie is spoiled, even more so.

[SuperDaniel]

I just want to know if the kid is his or not...

[Wilde]

Why do you guys want to read it anyway? The movie is spoiled, even more so.

Well, there are certain questions we have been debating over forever, such as: "is the kid Superman's?" It will be nice to finally know for sure, and end all the stupid arguements.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I'm going in! Cover me!

[SuperDaniel]

Did u buy it?

[Wilde]

I'm going in! Cover me!

Good luck! Please bring back some awesome spoilers!

[Metropolis_Man]

I got your back Snake.

[Showtime]

Good intentions, but as most of you know, that will only ignite the arguments.

[Metropolis_Man]

Gasoline for the fire maybe, Showtime?

[Kane]

Get it Get it!

[Wilde]

Good intentions, but as most of you know, that will only ignite the arguments.

Yes, finally having all the facts will incite some new arguements.

However, it will put an end to all the "is the kid his?" and "does the kid die?" and "how does this happen?" debates and arguements!

[Excel]

i wanna know about the ****ing action!

[Excel]

would it be at target ill get it if they have it.

[Wilde]

would it be at target ill get it if they have it.

Actually, Wal Mart is the store famous for putting some things out early. I don't think Target would have it out this early, but it is definately worth it to check!

Another good place you guys should try is Borders books, if you have one near you.

[Binker]

Guys: even after you buy this book, will you still see the movie?

[TRUE]

^^Or BN

[SuperDaniel]

Its funny...i need to fight the urge to have it and read it...its funny...When i read the Spider-man novelization and when i saw it in theaters, it was great. But when i read the script for Batman Begins, i spoiled the whole movie and it almost ruined my experience. So i don`t know what to think of this...

[Metropolis_Man]

I'd say get it and read it after the movie. Or just wait until after the movie to read.

[Showtime]

I dont know how the stores are allowed to have these books out so early.

[SuperDaniel]

I don`t think i can fight this urge...its Superman...i need to know if its good or not...

[Metropolis_Man]

I dont know how the stores are allowed to have these books out so early.

Wal Mart owns everything.

[Gaurav Sharma]

I read the 6th Sense novelization before I saw the movie and honestly for some reason like the novel better. The novel is a little more elaborate and explains the nuances of small little things that the viewer would not have known but that were placed in the movie with certain intention by the director. The movie seemed a little thin against the book in terms of emotions. Maybe its about imagination, when you read a book or a novel you paint pictures in your mind about the characters, situations and so on, but the movie may not be able to leap as high and wide as imagination.
So, I would rather not read the novelization before the movie, I would buy it later though because for me if its Superman its worth buying.

[Matt]

Movie books are usually a bit on the weak side. Some second rate author who can't write using bland, repetitive descriptions (for example, I bet he describes Superman as having lightning fast speed, reflexes, etc or some variant of it at least six times in the book) adapting someone elses work because his attempts at "storys" have been rejected time and time again by publishers.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Fission Mailed on the SR novel. Didn't find it.

However, I found the Topps cards, with pics I've never seen.

Should I post scans? I bought like 12 packs.:D

[SuperDaniel]

Oh yeah!! Post it...and the description on the back!!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Oh wow! Some great pics!

Gimme time to adjust my scanner so it comes out good.

[Metropolis_Man]

Woah you found the cards man. I've been looking at Wal Mart for the past or 4 weeks and nothing yet.

[SuperDaniel]

Oh wow! Some great pics!

Gimme time to adjust my scanner so it comes out good.
Thanks so much, man!

[Wilde]

Definately post any of the new pictures! And keep calling around for that novel guys! One of us is bound to find it!

[TwilightPro101]

Haven't found the book yet but found the action figures in Wal-Mart and X3 junior novels.

[Matt]

I called...out of morbid curiousity, the Wal-Mart Super Center here has it. Hehe, funny, the one person who can find it, won't spend six dollars to bother reading it.

[Wilde]

Has anyone ordered the book off of the site yet? If someone does, we'll at least know everything in a couple days.

[Thunder Emperor]

I called...out of morbid curiousity, the Wal-Mart Super Center here has it. Hehe, funny, the one person who can find it, won't spend six dollars to bother reading it.
lol you should get it i will look for it to see how bably singer fed this up. but i will let you all know.

[Wilde]

I called...out of morbid curiousity, the Wal-Mart Super Center here has it. Hehe, funny, the one person who can find it, won't spend six dollars to bother reading it.

I hate you Matt... :p

But seriously, if you get the chance, just look real quick and see if the kid is his! I think that is what everyone reall wants to know!

[Matt]

lol you should get it i will look for it to see how bably singer fed this up. but i will let you all know.

heh, Singer's translation of Donner's vision isn't worth my 7 bucks.

[SuperDaniel]

Yeah...and tell me if he has super-powers or not...

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Here's a taste. I have like 12 packs to go through, hehehe. I did get a cool embossed foil that I'll post.

There is a strange moire pattern in the scan. I have an HP all-in-one. If someone knows how to get rid of it, lemme know.

Should I start a new thread with my Topps scans?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/Col_Kilgore/topps/scan0002.jpg

[Wilde]

lol you should get it i will look for it to see how bably singer fed this up. but i will let you all know.

Yeah, I bet that would be the most unbiased and even-handed book review of all time. :rolleyes:

Because we all know we can trust you, of all people, to give the story a fair chance, based on your amazing record of positive thinking, and rational, well thought out posts....

:p

[Matt]

I hate you Matt... :p

But seriously, if you get the chance, just look real quick and see if the kid is his! I think that is what everyone reall wants to know!

Well, I don't plan to buy it but tomorrow my wife and I are going grocery shopping. I may stop in the books and skim and let you guys know. I usually get groceries at Giant Eagle as I disapprove of Wal-Mart's anti-union policies..but I'll see if Liza wants to go.

[SuperDaniel]

Nice but i`ve seen that before. Put in the topps cards or in the new Superman pics thread, i guess..

[SolidSnakeMGS]

OH NOES, I have a card that shows Jason...

playing a keyboard piano!!

[Matt]

Yeah, I bet that would be the most unbiased and even-handed book review of all time. :rolleyes:

Because we all know we can trust you, of all people, to give the story a fair chance, based on your amazing record of positive thinking, and rational, well thought out posts....

:p

To be fair, any review of the book as a book will be negative because any author who writes a movie book is a hack.

[Wilde]

Here's a taste. I have like 12 packs to go through, hehehe. I did get a cool embossed foil that I'll post.

Should I start a new thread with my Topps scans?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/Col_Kilgore/topps/scan0002.jpg

Sure, you should start a new thread. Are there many actual NEW pictures of Superman?

[SuperDaniel]

And i heard in the bluetights podcast that the yatch has a piano on it... :(

[Matt]

OH NOES, I have a card that shows Jason...

playing a keyboard piano!!

Gaaaasp! Foreshadowing!

[SuperDaniel]

Alright...thats something i admit i wont like it...

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Ok, here is one of Superman, than I am going to go scan as many per page as I can. I may be gone a while doing so, but rest assured, Snake will come through for you guys.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/Col_Kilgore/topps/scan0005.jpg

[SuperDaniel]

:up: A nice resolution of this pic!!!

[Matt]

Just so you know, the SR novelization is written by Marv Wolfman, one of the best comic book writers of all time.

Nice, but that kind of re-enforces the notion that it will be bad. Comic writing is ten times different than novel writing. Has he written a novel before?

[Matt]

I get that you are ecited, but dude...start a thread instead of pulling this one off topic...Colonel Kilgore ;)

Dude, please post any new shots of Superman in really high-res, if you can!

[MatchesMalone]

Nice, but that kind of re-enforces the notion that it will be bad. Comic writing is ten times different than novel writing. Has he written a novel before?

:rolleyes:

Yeah Matt, tell that to Elliot Maggin and Greg Rucka. Or Neil Gaiman.

[CConn]

Nice, but that kind of re-enforces the notion that it will be bad. Comic writing is ten times different than novel writing. Has he written a novel before?He wrote the Crisis on Infinite Earths novelization. And saying comic book writers can't write novels isn't entirely true; Greg Rucka has written several successful novels, Denny O'Neil has written more than one, Neil Gaimen, Brad Meltzer, and it's just plan hilarious to hear you say "[Marv Wolfman's] attempts at "storys" have been rejected."

[Dark_Lord]

Thanks for doing this. Great pic!

[Gaurav Sharma]

The 6th Sense Novelization was done by the director- MNS. It was definitely worth a read. However, Matt's comment about movie novel writers may be based on SM3 and 4 which based on the reviews I read recently were definitely worth missing.

[Matt]

^ :rolleyes: Yeah Matt, tell that to Elliot Maggin and Greg Rucka. Or Neil Gaiman.

I'm just saying, its a different art. For the three you named there are countless who failed the transition.

[Matt]

He wrote the Crisis on Infinite Earths novelization. And saying comic book writers can't write novels isn't entirely true; Greg Rucka has written several successful novels, Denny O'Neil has written more than one, Neil Gaimen, Brad Meltzer, and it's just plan hilarious to hear you say "[Marv Wolfman's] attempts at "storys" have been rejected."

I wasn't aware who wrote it at the time.

[Metropolis_Man]

Yes, those trading cards rocks!

[Wilde]

Ok, I have official ordered the book from WalMart.com! I should have it in a couple days!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Ok, I have official ordered the book from WalMart.com! I should have it in a couple days!

Ok, we all expect a scan of EVERY page!

:D:D

[Wong Fei-Hung]

Check your local stores. Amazon.com has this available for sale, so the release of this book is confirmed. Also, Target.com has it for sale.

[SuperDaniel]

So, in the comming days, a lot of people will spoil the whole movie for them selves...I`ll make sure i don`t read spoilers of the end of the movie...

[The Sage]

I wouldn't bet on finding the answers in the novelization. Let's not forget the ending of the X2 novel was different than that of the actual movie. Jean lived in the former, died in the latter.

[Wilde]

I wouldn't bet on finding the answers in the novelization. Let's not forget the ending of the X2 novel was different than that of the actual movie. Jean lived in the former, died in the latter.

There is always the possibility of some differences between the two. But the novel is guaranteed to answer most questions, and spoil most of the movie!

[Saint]

To be fair, any review of the book as a book will be negative because any author who writes a movie book is a hack.
So I guess Denny O'Neil must be a real hack.

[Nivek]

And Peter David.

[Tzigone]

I want to read the book, but not until after I see the movie - I don't want to be that spoiled (and I'm kind of worried about different endings). I may have to abandon SHH until the movie comes out. But I'm not sure if I have the will-power,

[Nautica7mk]

If I find it, I'm totally reading it. lol

[Nivek]

well, if it's put up, put it in spoiler text.

Im curious, but have to agree movie novels are very fickle things, some are dead on, some are better than the finished film, and some are just crap.

But hey, the Hulk novel helped change my perspective on the film, and it was a bit better in some parts. But the final film ended up having major discrepencies with the Novel.

[KrypJonian]

Good lord...

I don't know what to do....:(

I don't really mind spoilers. I read the BB script and don't really regret it, but I've waited damn near my whole life for this flick, I don't know if I can risk it.

I may have to join Tzigone and disappear for a while...we'll see

[Nautica7mk]

Damn. Three Wal-Marts around the Schaumburg, IL area and none of them have it. Sigh. Perhaps the Skokie Wal-Mart has it. And Borders rarely have it early, at least in my location.

[musclesforsupes]

COol get it!

[Captain Villa]

Good lord...

I don't know what to do....:(

:up:

Too right.

I dont mind spoilers but not total revealing of everything.

The complete story should be taboo...................and maybe bannable for revealing it.

[Binker]

The BB novelization had negetive reviews because nothing of how good that movie was were in the book. I think you guys shouldn't get the book over the idea that the novel might not present the movie in the right way.

[The Kid]

key word being "might"

I'm sure many will take their chances of being wrong or right anyway, as I certainly will if I ever get my hands on the novelization for returns.
Somebody get it so we can see how much of it relates to these topps cards... Quick! go!

[Mr. Thing]

:up:

Too right.

I dont mind spoilers but not total revealing of everything.

The complete story should be taboo...................and bannable for revealing it.

That's a bit far, because as the novel is out on general release, I don't think they'd be doing anything wrong.

[Nautica7mk]

Somebody get it so we can see how much of it relates to these topps cards... Quick! go!
I am so trying. lol If I can't find it this afternoon, I'm going to have to order it online. I love to read. I often read books before watching the films (and make a point to do so when it's a novel-based movie).

[Visionary]

Just find out if the KID is Superman's, and if the boy has powers. We pretty much know most of the story.

[Bad Superman]

Just find out if the KID is Superman's, and if the boy has powers. We pretty much know most of story.

Agreed :up:

[Fatboy Roberts]

The complete story should be taboo...................and bannable for revealing it.

I'm sorry, but that's so reactionary and stupid, Villa. C'mon.

It's a SPOILER FORUM. If you don't want to be spoiled, GET OUT. It's pretty much that simple. No one's gonna think any less of you if you do, and it's not like there isn't another forum for you to discuss non-spoiler things

But banning people because YOU don't have any willpower is silly.

Again, it's a Spoiler Forum. The whole POINT of this board is to find out what happens before you go into the theater. Reading this novelization is part of that.

I've always hated the idea of spoiler tags in a spoiler forum.:up:

I agree. If one doesn't want to know what is going to happen via spoilers, then don't come to a "spoiler" website.

[Captain Villa]

I see your point but I think there is a huge difference between "Spoiler" & "Spoilt/Spoiled".

It is one thing to spoil a scene but surely not the whole story ?

If the whole of the section was based on such thinking, then why are "spoiler tags" advocated ?

[Captain Villa]

Triple post :mad:

[Captain Villa]

I think we'd all be happier.


Can this man ever argue a point without getting personal ?

[Fatboy Roberts]

Spoiler Tags are advocated for people like you who get mad at other people for exploiting their lack of willpower. So to ensure less people whine and complain because they want their cake and eat it too, the people who understand what a Spoiler Forum is meant to do make concessions to those who'd rather apply their own definition, and they put tags on things.

There is no difference between Spoiler and Spoiled. That doesn't even make any sense. Spoilers SPOIL you. If you read some, you're spoiled. If you come into this forum, you pretty much say "I want to be spoiled." It's up to you to decide WHEN enough is enough. Asking for people to be banned because you don't trust yourself to make that decision is totally backwards.

Ah another one who cannot argue without personal innuendo - Maybe you lack the willpower you mention, so much ?

The difference between "Spoiler" & "Spoiled" is quite one of plurality, for most people with an inkling of the english language, to understand.

[The Kid]

I see your point but I think there is a huge difference between "Spoiler" & "Spoilt/Spoiled".

It is one thing to spoil a scene but surely not the whole story ?

If the whole of the section was based on such thinking, then why are "spoiler tags" advocated ?

No, I think that since it's still the spoiler section, that means anything goes. It's up to you to go where spoilers aren't permited although I personally feel some spoilers are most spoiling than others, but this type of movie probably won't contain deep shocks for us so I don't mind knowing the whole story going in. If it were a murder mystery, youknow, a whodunnit sort of thing, then I'd not want it spoiled at all.

[hoopy3]

Well everyone, I just ordred in from AMAZON.COM 1 day shipping. Is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Will let anyone know that wants to what the story is about.

[Fatboy Roberts]

Ah another one who cannot argue without personal innuendo - Maybe you lack the willpower you mention, so much ?

Oh, stop condescending to me and dwelling on "personal innuendo" which isn't even a commonly accepted phrase, plus you misused the word "innuendo." I mean, I could pretty much guess what you're saying, but don't think I didn't notice you completely dodged most, if not all, of the argument, choosing instead to focus solely on your grievous personal injury because I'm actually correctly reflecting your mindset :)

You're trying to use my words to stab me with and you're holding the knife by the wrong end. You're just cutting your hands all up and pretending you look smart while doing it.

All of my points still stand. If YOU'RE personally uncomfortable with the idea of being spoiled, then YOU need to leave. People DO NOT need to be kicked out at your suggestion because you feel the spoilers are getting too hot. I'm sure you're familiar with the old cliche about temperature and the kitchen?

The responsibility is on YOU to make yourself comfortable. Banning people for using the Spoiler Forum to post Spoilers is so innately contradictory as to be comical almost. Except you're serious about it, which is sorta perplexing.

Here, I'll repost some of my last reply especially to see if there's anything you can seriously argue against:

If you come into this forum, you pretty much say "I want to be spoiled." It's up to you to decide WHEN enough is enough. Asking for people to be banned because you don't trust yourself to make that decision is totally backwards.

You got anything for that?

[Captain Villa]

Yes, again I see that point and it is very valid - However, the Spoiler section is more of a popular section where most things are posted non spoiler related, simply because it has the popularity and traffic.

Things such as "manips", "Collectibles" etc........are not spoilerish but remain here out of simplicity of being the #1 SR forum.

By rights, they should be moved elsewhere

If you are going to make it solely a "Spoiler section".................then that is what it should be, with everything else moved out.

It is one or the other.

[Nautica7mk]

Well everyone, I just ordred in from AMAZON.COM 1 day shipping. Is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Will let anyone know that wants to what the story is about.
I should do that as well. Calling Wal-Mart is downright depressing. I don't think they even try to see if they received it.

[Matt]

I got the book, this morning, by the way. Its only 344 pages, I could have it finished by 7 oclock. I am debating whether or not I want to share this information with the posters of this board.

Just don't go in the spoiler threads. Dew said no spoilers in titles. You have no problem.

[Fatboy Roberts]

Whoa, thought you said it wasn't worth the 7 bucks?

Wait...I get it, what IS worth 7 bucks is lording information over fanboys on a messageboard for personal gratification/revenge for being "mistreated."

That's understandable, I guess. :)

[Captain Villa]

Just don't go in the spoiler threads. Dew said no spoilers in titles. You have no problem.


And what if you want to look at manips, collectibles etc......you see, you want it both ways.

This forum is a mess and now you want order to something that has none.

[Matt]

Well, to be honest, there is some satisfaction in being the only one who could find it...but in all honesty, I bought it to read it.

[Showtime]

I think that is the reason Justin split Bluetights, there were similar issues.

[Showtime]

Well, to be honest, there is some satisfaction in being the only one who could find it...but in all honesty, I bought it to read it.

Where did you end up finding it?

[Matt]

And what if you want to look at manips, collectibles etc......you see, you want it both ways.

This forum is a mess and now you want order to something that has none.

Then go in those threads! Spoilers are not allowed in titles of posts! you can very easily be in the spoiler forum and read none.

[Captain Villa]

I think that is the reason Justin split Bluetights, there were similar issues.


What has he done ?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Villa your being quite silly..

Banning people for revealing story details.

what next..banning people for posting anything at all.

:p

[Matt]

Where did you end up finding it?

Super Wal-Mart

[Showtime]

What has he done ?

They way he split the forum into non spoiler and spoiler sections. Collectables and what not would be in the non spoiler section and if it is put in the spoiler section it is immediately moved.

[M.O.Steel]

remember now, the phoenix story was not in the X2 novelization, so as far as i'm concerned, the book doesn't solve anything.

[Fatboy Roberts]

there is some satisfaction in being the only one who could find it...but in all honesty, I bought it to read it.

Well, when you finish reading it--feel free to share. It'll be cool spreading love (or poison, depending on how the book is) amongst the fans. Trust me. You'll dig it.

And what if you want to look at manips, collectibles etc......you see, you want it both ways.This forum is a mess and now you want order to something that has none.

Oh, there's plenty of order, you're just way overstating it now. If you want to look at a manip, I doubt NOVELIZATION PAGES are going to be in there. If you want to look at a figure, I doubt SCRIPT QUOTES are just going to randomly pop up.

And even if they did--so what? It's the SPOILER FORUM. Those things are all spoilers ANYWAY. YOU are personally uncomfortable with spoilers getting to a certain point. Again, it is YOUR responsibility to cut yourself off when you hit that point, not cut the WHOLE BOARD OFF so you don't get hurt or whatever. Your outlook on the thing is backwards.

A thread stating 'NOVEL SPOILERS: BLAH BLAH BLAH" is pretty organized, isn't it? Chances are you'll know not to go in there. Spoilers aren't supposed to go in thread titles so that's already covered, so as long as you pay attention to what the titles are and what subjects they're about, you should be able to avoid aimlessly wandering into them.

And if you don't trust yourself NOT to do that, then you need to pursue other avenues of posting fun :)

The common thread here is that it's YOUR responsibility to cut yourself off, not the Mod's responsibility to cut the forum off for you. For example--if you're so worried, why did you plunge straight into a thread entitled "THE NOVELIZATION IS OUT" if you didn't want the story spoiled for you? How do you not know what MIGHT be inside based on that title?

remember now, the phoenix story was not in the X2 novelization, so as far as i'm concerned, the book doesn't solve anything.

That is such an anomaly, and nowhere near the normal. Yes, Singer's in charge of BOTH productions, but that doesn't mean one follows the other. And the circumstances behind the X2 plot switch were pretty different/hectic. I'm not so sure the same thing has occurred here.

[Nautica7mk]

I just got off the phone with my Tower Records contact, next Tuesday, Superman Returns Story Book is out. Still no novelization in my area.

First paragraph:

There was a time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest.


Hehe, sorry, In all honesty, I'm not going to be sharing a thing with anyone here...because quite frankly, I am treated like **** on this board on a daily basis. Its nice to have some means of revenge. I apologize to the good posters, but...its the way it goes

[Fatboy Roberts]

LOL. I knew you were gonna be super-petty about this. LOL. Great job, Matt. Way to short yourself.

10 to 1 you didn't actually buy the book, either. But it'll be fun to whip up the fanboys into a froth as "get-back." Ah well. You aren't the first to use fanboy messageboards as a surrogate for actually achieving something worthwhile. As long as that hole in your center is filled somehow, I guess it's a positive.

Teh Interweb spins round and round :)

Oh, I have it. Had I a digital camera, I would post a picture of the book and today's newspaper.

Super-petty? I'd just rather not share something with people constantly talk down to me.

[Matt]

and you wonder why.

:)

No, see, you guys wonder why. I posted opinions, and I have been attacked on a personal basis on this board daily. Why the hell would I give you guys anything?

[Captain Villa]

Villa your being quite silly..

Banning people for revealing story details.

what next..banning people for posting anything at all.

:p

Yeah, maybe that was a bit harsh :p

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

dude i don't care..i think your all right.. your ok in my book.

:cool:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Yeah, maybe that was a bit harsh :p



just a little.:supes:

[Fatboy Roberts]

Why the hell would I give you guys anything?

LOL. Some punishment. It's a published novel. Someone else is going to post about it, and then where did your "revenge" go? Poof. Gone. Hell, people won't even remember that you ever held this over their heads in a couple days. Some revenge. Hell, that IS the definition of super-petty. It's spiteful, too, but it's ultimately ineffectual because this stuff IS going to get out without you--so you're not actually hurting anyone.

And as an aside--if people keep talking down to you, that might be a sign of something. At the very least, you might want to re-examine your postings and at the worst, stop visiting a place that obviously causes you so much emotional pain that you hatch a plan to exact revenge on MESSAGEBOARD POSTERS for your own personal gratification. It's a bunk hostage situation with a crappy ransom attached to it, LOL. "Give me respect and kisses on my asscheeks or you wont find out about Superman 2 months early! HA HA!!! MUSTACHE TWIRL!"

just some thoughts.

[Matt]

dude i don't care..i think your all right.. your ok in my book.

Hey, C. Lee wanted civility on this board, maybe this will teach members to be a bit kinder to people with whom their opinion differed.

Yes and if you go back a couple of pages, you'll see that you're the first to fling mud......again.

Anyway, talking of C.Lee , I would be very interested in his thoughts on this.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

We can only teach..


they can be a great people matt if they wish to be... they only lack the light to show the way..for this reason above all..there capacity for good.. we have sent them you our only son...

Hey......................Matt, old friend, old buddy, old pal... nice avatar... "i kid you not" oh lol. He was great, what an actor... You're great too, a real cut above the rest you know... how about we talk in pm about this little novel you seem to have... Just you and me. Let the rest of these moops wait a while... ha ha :up::) :supes::ghost: hee hee

And in the civility thread, when everyone was being kind, you were the one who continued with the insults.

I'm sure Lee wouldn't care. I don't have to post spoilers if I don't want to.

LOL. Liar. MUSTACHE TWIRL!! VILLAINOUS FUN!

The book is dangling over a bubbling cauldron and I'll just drop it in unless I get what I want! MUAHAHAHAHAHA WRINGING OF HANDS! MUAHA. I will tie this novelization to the traintracks and jump in Engine No. 9 MYSELF!

By the way, your analysis of my "rant" is a non-sequitur. But maybe that's another of your secret supervillain weapons. Armed with illogic and a hurt butthole, MegaMatt DEMANDS RESPECT MUSTACHE TWIRL!! LOLZORS.

See, now if you really didn't care, why bother with all this?

[Octoberist]

Matt, I understand where you're coming from.

At the sametime, I won't let some of the details of Superman bother me, since I've been angry at X3 since the dawn of that production. I need to look foward to at least one comic book movie, and it'll be Superman.

[hoopy3]

I posted this a little while ago, but If everyone can just wait until tomorrow, I will be glad to PM, post or whatever any info about the book they want...I should get it in the early afternoon.

[Wilde]

just some thoughts.

Exactly.

Matt, you and I almost always disagree, that's just the way it is. But dude, this whole "this is what you guys get for mistreating me" nonsense is really quite rediculous.

Because like Fatboy said, very soon, your self imposed 15 minutes will be up, and you won't be able to use spoilers to "earn" phony apologies, because someone will happily share them with us for free.

I you want people to start seing you differently, this is not the way to go about it...

But don't worry guys! If Matt still wants to hold the novel ransom, I might be able to get the book this afternoon. So, we'll get the spoilers, even if he is still acting like a child.

[Fatboy Roberts]

See, now if you really didn't care, why bother with all this?

Because it's fun to write. If you didn't really care, why would you buy a book you didn't want? Oh that's right, because you were in the store and this thought ACTUALLY crossed your mind IN REAL LIFE while you stood in a Super Wal-Mart:

"Yunno, I think it'd be fun to show those guys at The SuperheroHype boards that they wont have me to kick around. I'll buy this stupid book and then I'll tell them I'm not going to tell them ANYTHING about it. OOOOHHH giggle giggle IT'LL BE GREAT. That'll show em. That's definitely worth 7 bucks"

See, me writing goofy little characterizations takes much less time and effort. You actually went to a store and spent your own money for the sole purpose of trying to piss off people you've never met or seen in person on a Superman Messageboard.

One of those is an example of caring. The other is not. Like I said--the info's going to get out without you, and no one's going to care you ever pulled this in a couple days. :)

So these are just free shots, nothin big.

[Octoberist]

I posted this a little while ago, but If everyone can just wait until tomorrow, I will be gald to PM, post or whatever any info about the book they want...I should get it in the early afternoon.

why thank you hoopy.

I'm curious about Jason's father, Luthor's portrayal, and any hints to a sequel.

[Matt]

No, I went to the store and bought the book because I would like to read it. I also bought The Da Vinci Code. This is just a fun little bonus.

[Matt]

Exactly.

Matt, you and I almost always disagree, that's just the way it is. But dude, this whole "this is what you guys get for mistreating me" nonsense is really quite rediculous.

Maybe, but like I said, even if I were willing to share, why would I waste my time scanning for people who are nothing but rude to me?

[Octoberist]

scan on my friend.

[Desk]

Why should Matt feel in any way inclined to post details from the book?

More likely than not many here would accuse him of twisting information or just flat-out lying.

[Octoberist]

come on desk, you know you want to know the details too :)

[Matt]

Why should Matt feel in any way inclined to post details from the book?

More likely than not many here would accuse him of twisting information or just flat-out lying.

Another very valid point. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

I really doubt I'll even read it today. I'm probably going to read the Da Vinci Code today as I want to read it before the movie.

[Fatboy Roberts]

Why should Matt feel in any way inclined to post details from the book?

Matt shouldn't. No one's saying he should, actually, not in this thread, we're saying holding the novel ransom is silly because the details are going to come anyway. Well, holding a novel 'ransom' is silly period, but apparently Matt is seriously wounded by the lack of respect he's recieved on this messageboard.

Finding a different one and not returning for even more abuse doesn't seem to have crossed his mind, however. Which is also weird.

But why look at this thing with common sense when we can just make up reasons for other people and trust in those instead. Poor, poor victimized Matt, having to resort to holding a gun to the novelizations head so people can, in his words, "kiss his ass." Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, because Matt pretty much damned himself with this goofy, nonsensical move. Hell, I don't think anyone's actually said they WANT Matt to tell them anything, which makes this even funnier.

I think people here should be honored that their lips are so important to Matt's self-esteem :) It's quite a gift Matt has given us, this understanding.

[Desk]

come on desk, you know you want to know the details too :)
I'm interested to know, but I wouldn't ask Matt to put himself in a position where he's only going to find himself the subject of even more bile.

After all, who wants to be the bearer of bad news?

[Octoberist]

Darn...where did you buy it? WOuld it be at Borders or barnes and NOble?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

We already know the bad news in this movie.

[Octoberist]

which bad news?

[Wilde]

Yeah, I'm not aware of any "bad news"....

[Nautica7mk]

Darn...where did you buy it? WOuld it be at Borders or barnes and NOble?
The most likely place to find it is Wal-Mart or ordering it online.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

the kid..the only thing that..well gets to me..i can't not dislike it.

[The Kid]

You're going to love him Robo.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

You're going to love him, Robo.



If you say so dude.. go to the avatar thread..there is a presant for you there.

I relly have not noticed this, to be fair, it is just a spat between Fatboy & Matt.

However, Matt has not helped himself over the last two weeks or so.

No, there is a funeral scene in the trailer - thats it. No idea who is in the coffin.

as he says alot of the time.."was there a need for the insult..no."

villa apologise.:up:

okay. I wasn't thinking on what I wrote at the time, really. Usually, I don't do stuff like that, and it just slipped out.

It's all good :)

Practically everyone and their mother knows at this point, and isn't there still speculation that he returns at the end to save the day?

[Fatboy Roberts]

Weird. My original post here got eaten. I don't remember what it was, though. Yay board.

[Excel]

everyone just chill. if matt doesnt wan to post em he dont have to, and t aint like hes the only one whose gonna get the book so calm yall asses down.

[Bad Superman]

The only thing that I want to know is about the little fiend. Once I have that cleared up I will know if, FOR ME, the franchise will be a mess or not.

[Wilde]

Is Matt seriously still playing his hostage game with the novel?

[Bad Superman]

Is Matt seriously still playing his hostage game with the novel?

I don't know but someone sooner or later will give out spoilers. Im pretty sure about that.

[C. Lee]

If someone reads the book and want to put info from it on here....PUT IT IN SPOILER TAGS....I've already got several PMs worried about it....PUT THE INFO IN SPOILER TAGS......AND DON'T SAY TO ME "THIS IS ALREADY THE SPOILER SECTION".....

[Matt]

Is Matt seriously still playing his hostage game with the novel?

In all honesty, I haven't even taken it out of the bag yet. I am utterly engrossed in The Da Vinici Code. which I want to finish before the movie comes out.

There is no point in spoiling the SR book for me by looking ahead so you guys can have spoilers.

Glad you're enjoying the Da Vinci Code. Coincidentally, I also just bought the book a few days ago. Figured I should see what all the fuss was about. I am almost half-way through it, and it is very interesting so far.

But please, can you just check really quick, and see if the kid is his? That isn't going to spoil the book for you, because we all already assume he is, and we are just waiting for confirmation.

Help us out here Matt...

:D

[musclesforsupes]

Who needs to read the book, just go and skim through it pick out the major issues like

The Kid
Plot
Ending
Old Suit Reference
Superman I and II

[invincible mann]

marv wolfmans a good writer
i would like to read the whole thing

Not really.

So I guess I should be thankfull that it's not my job to amuse you...

:D

[David Ford, RPD]

To be fair, any review of the book as a book will be negative because any author who writes a movie book is a hack.

Even when it's the guy who wrote Man of Steel. And what Denny O'Niel?

[invincible mann]

sorry for the double post
glad da vinci has fans here
cant wait till friday

[invincible mann]

or chris claremont who wrote the X3 novelization

[Kane]

Wolfman is amazing. Crisis on Infinite Earths is a very comprehensive read...alot of thought and detail went into it.

[SuperDaniel]

C`mon, Matt. The whole idea of Superman is to forgive people and go on. Don`t care about the insults, man. Just share what u know with us.

[Fatboy Roberts]

C`mon, Matt.

Oh, stop trying. Dude probably doesn't even have the book in the first place. He straight out ADMITS he wants people to kiss his ass to get him to cough up spoilers--and you're actually going to TRY? Forget it. About 5 people just on these boards ALONE will have the novel themselves within the next 2 days, and they're not gonna play chintzy games with it in order to inflate their sense of self-importance. Stop wasting your time trying to get through to this guy.

I've already got several PMs worried about it

Well then you tell those people to tuck in their effing panties and GTFO of the spoiler section if they're getting THAT sketchy that they've got to whine to a mod because they can't exercise the self-control they don't have. It's pretty simple.

I've completely come to terms with my lack of self-control, it's why I visit Spoiler Sections :)

[Superman \S/]

I'll buy it........but read it after i see the movie. :D

[Nivek]

I really, really doubt he has it. Or better yet, that he spent money on it.

[Superman \S/]

Who knows, i for one trust Wilde.

[Nivek]

well, when it comes to this film, and fans getting merchandise a month and a half early, Im very sceptical.

Hey, if it is availible at these Wal-marts, post the location, google it, and find out if they are in fact for sale there.

[Wilde]

Dude, it's in stock and for sale on both Amazon.com and WalMart.com. Two reliable sites, in my experience.

I actually bought it from WalMart.com yesterday. They said I should have it by Friday.

This isn't some big hoax.

[Fatboy Roberts]

post the location, google it, and find out if they are in fact for sale there.

Well, that's a good way to shut down those stores selling it, actually. Might as well just email Warner Books and let em know which stores are breaking street date directly ;)

There's your answer Nivek. looking foward to seeing what the book contains Wilde. :up:

Well, if If by the time I get it, Matt is still playing his little hostage game, and no one else has already spoiled everything, I will definately post all the best spoilers!

[Nivek]

And Matt is supposedly the only person here who picked it up at a store? The guy who posts 48 "Dis is gonna suck" posts a day about this film?

I just called two local Walmarts, no one is saying they have it.

[Superman \S/]

Well, if If by the time I get it, Matt is still playing his little hostage game, and no one else has already spoiled everything, I will definately post all the best spoilers!

Awesome. :up:

[ultimatefan]

Just remember guys, that the novel IS NOT THE MOVIE. A lot of things change. For instante, in the Spider-Man 2 novelization the scene where Doc Ock talks to his tentacles, the tentacles actually call him "daddy!" Fanboys went crazy over the unbearable cheesiness of it and it wasn´t in the movie...

And Matt is supposedly the only person here who picked it up at a store? The guy who posts 48 "Dis is gonna suck" posts a day about this film?

Maybe that's a good sign.

He claims he hasn't taken it out of the bag yet (BS), despite the fact that he drove all the way to Wal Mart just to pick it up.

I guarantee that if he has it, he would have already checked to see if the kid is Superman's. And if he in fact is Superman's son, Matt would be on here right now whining about how the movie is doomed, and how Singer destroyed Superman!

So hey, maybe the kid isn't Superman's! :eek:

But I bet if he has it, he has already read quite a bit of it, and is realizing that the story is actually really good. Maybe that's why he's not posting anything...

That is of course, if he even has the book.

Uh huh. Unless he's B.S.'ing everyone to rile them up...

[Wilde]

Like I said, "if he even has the book".

[Nivek]

Well, heres a little detail about Wal-mart I think is pretty enlighting. The stores books and magazines are supplied by local vendors, who also have reps that stock the shelves. also, two of the stores just said their book shipments dont come in till Wednesday.

[Wilde]

Yeah, my local Wal Mart's said they didn't have it yet, but also that their book shipments usually come Tuesday or Wednesday. So hopefully they'll have it tomorrow.

[invincible mann]

so at this point NOBODY has it ?
frustrating

[Nivek]

Nobody should have it yet. Its street date is listed as May 28th.

[SuperDaniel]

No. Some Wal-Marts have it. Wilde just said it. He ordered his.

[invincible mann]

yeah but wal marts gotten novelizations early before
like X men 2

[Wilde]

Again, both WalMart.com and Amazon.com have the book in stock, and anyone can order it.

[Nivek]

Ordered, not in hand. The book is not being distributed just yet, at least to stores.

And if they were, well short of calling out someone (or at least ask for the managers name and stores location on the reciept), I dont think anyone here has it in hand yet.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I called my local Barnes and Noble and they said it wasn't supposed to be out till next MONTH!

[SuperDaniel]

^^ Bul****!

[Nivek]

I had Borders and Books a Million say may 28th and 30th.

[Nautica7mk]

Borders actually have it in order. It should be coming in within the next few days.

[Captain Villa]

If someone reads the book and want to put info from it on here....PUT IT IN SPOILER TAGS....I've already got several PMs worried about it....PUT THE INFO IN SPOILER TAGS......AND DON'T SAY TO ME "THIS IS ALREADY THE SPOILER SECTION".....


:up:

Maybe you need to make a closed sticky thread, reminding them too.

[GreenKToo]

I went to two wal-marts,and a books-a-million,neither had it. a wal-mart employee looked it up,and said at least a week and a half before they will have it.books-a-million said first week of june.

[Showtime]

This book is not supposed to be out until JUNE. If a bookstore has it out and is selling it, they will most likely be punished for it.

[GreenKToo]

yup,thats what the lady said at books-a-million.same thing.she also said ,when i told her that someone bought a copy at wal-mart,that they sometimes break the publishers release date,but she doubted they would this early.not saying anyone here is lying or anything,thats just what the lady said..:up: This book is not supposed to be out until JUNE.

I think it is more of a sad forumer being an attention seeker.

[hoopy3]

I don't think so...at least i hope not...i did order the book from amazon today and they told me it will be at my apartment by tomorrow afternoon.

[jacob301]

you might want to try a local place like longs or albertson.. a grcoery store type of place to find the book.

Banished into the Phantom Zone?

[Visionary]

So, did anyone READ whether the child is Supes and if he has powers. Also, what excuse does Clark Kent give the Daily Planet for being away from work for 5 to 6 years?

[Matt]

1) Niviek, I do have it.

2) I am just very much so into The Da Vinci Code right now. I've yet to even touch it.

[Nivek]

Niviek, I do have it.


Sure, then give us the Wal-mart managers name and store location off your purchace receipt just we can see if it's there. No harm, no foul.

[Matt]

1) I am not going to go to Wal-Mart to find the manager's name.

2) I won't just because you asked me Nivek.

[Visionary]

Forget that, just answer my 3 questions above by skimping through the book.

[Matt]

VIsionary, I like you, but I've already said my mind on the matter....I am reading The Da Vinci Code...so I can finish it before the movie. When I finish that I will read it and answer whatever question your heart desires. I do not want to ruin the book induldge the fanboys on this board.

[Nivek]

Well, you dont need to go to the store, ol' chummy. Any purchace receipt from any Wal-mart will have the store managers name right above the phone number and location. It's a simple validation request. If you put it up, it will just prove me wrong and you right, and make me look bad.

But I can understand why you cant supply the goods... because you dont have a receipt to produse the managers name.

Interesting....I didn't get the memo that everyone was supposed to keep all reciepts from now on to prove to people on the Hype if they have something. Poor ol' me just throws them away unless they are a big purchase item....I guess I risk you calling ME a liar in the future.....bad form mate, bad form indeed.
