It's called opinion. Like buttholes everyone had one. So are you saying anyone who doesn't like a movie you like are "liars"? If you do you must have a pretty big opinion of yourself.

No, that's not what I said at all. Learn some reading comprehension.

 

[JayKay]

Dude. Seriously. Get a damn life.

I've seen some of your posts in the suit thread, don't tell ME to get a life.

Lame argument.

All right Saph that is enough. I am just going to let Excellsior know you are back. Have fun being banned again. You really need to get a life. Your crap is getting old. And you need to learn that you don't call people liars.

You been reported Saph. And Saph, why can't you just leave well enough alone? Why do you have to keep coming back here? You are banned for life. Dude. YOU ARE BANNED HERE FOR LIFE. THE MODS DON'T WANT YOU HERE. Is that clear enough for you. Get over it and go back to the SR butt smooching at Bluetights. Damn.

He needs to grow-up and respect other^people's opionions.

SC, it is Saph again. Join date after his last banning. all of a sudden he is a power poster. This is Saph. I am just going to turn him in and get him banned again.

Bye JayKay, I mean Saph. Thanks Excelsior. I feel bad that you have to keep dealing with this. I don't know why he doesn't get the hint that he isn't wanted here. But thanks again. Your the best.

Matt, I used to think you were a fairly credible individual until I clicked the link on your sig. What a lame ass waste of time. You are truly sad.

umm, k?

I agree with this.I didnt love S.R.,but I didnt hate it either....I think the haters carry it a bit far sometimes though..anyway,I try to like all C.B. films,but some of their supporters make it really hard sometimes.

I learned that the films rabid defenders and the films rabid haters are equally pathetic.

I was dissapointed but geez, it's just an opinion. People here take a film that the general public has already forgotten way to seriously, both the haters and the lovers.

#34. I learned that Jimmy Olsen is never going to get a promotion
#35. I learned that criminals with helicopters carry around REALLY big guns

I'm a fan of the original (1 and 2). This one was ok. I didn't love it much, but I didn't hate it. I'm bothered by the usual stuff like the suit and the fact that Superman likes to hide in the bushes and be a peeping tom. The action sequences were pretty good. The movie just left me with indifference about the whole thing.

I prefer Batman Begins and the Spiderman movies. I know that will probably label me as some kind of crazy person by some, but so be it I guess. t:

#36. I learned to never work with Lex Luthor, because it will only get you crushed by piano, a giant rock or stuck on some deserted Island

No those situations are not the same at all. Let me give this example, if you had an important meeting in work which you HAD to attend, but no one told you about it happening, and then you got sacked for not attending it, would you feel hard done by?

I think it all depends on the status quo of meetings at your place of work. If you know that there are usually meetings on certain days and times or that unexpected meetings get called and you are required to be there, then yes you might get sacked. In much the same way, SUperman would know that when you have sex with a woman, the possibility of pregnancy was there and he should've acted accordingly. Realize, the abandonment and absenteeism, is more of an emotional one than necesarrily physical. There is no doubt that he is not physically around, but at least he could have communicated his intentions about leaving. This way Lois would know she didn't just get ditched and if conception had taken place, she would have known who the father was and that SUperman cared enough to explain himself and intended to come back to be with her. By not saying anything he is saying to Lois, "You aren't important."

And anyway LOIS may not have known she was pregnant at that point either. And you cant abandon something you dont know about anyway, i dont know were your reasoning comes from.

My reasoning comes from this line of thinking.

If you are going to be involved with someone sexually, you should be prepared for the respnsibility of any outcome. WHile pregnancy may not be the first thing on your mind, you should at least be cognisant of the possibility and act responsibly. If you do not you are acting irresponsibly. That is why I say that Superman acts irresponsibly when he leaves without telling Lois about his mission to Krypton. Addionally, it is mean and immature, but that's a different argument.

For some people when it comes to sex, acting responsibly means not engaging in sexaual activity at all. For others it may mean using contraceptives. At the very least, you have to be open and honest with your partner, otherwise it is just sex and not an expression of love and commitment. While some people 'just have sex,' I believe that is an irresponsible behavior. I also believe that we are supposed to believein the movie that Lois and SUperman had sex b/c they were in some sort of relationship and were having sex an an expression of love, and not just having sex b/c they were feeling randy. I just can't see a situation where Superman and Lois can be in a loving sexual relatinship AND at the same time have SUperman be unable to be honest with her. That just comes across as out of charater and contradictory.

Let's look at third situation : If you don't know you have an STD and you transmit it to someone else, are you somehow not responsible b/c you didn't know you had it? I say no. You acted irresponsibly and transmitted the disease to someone else. There is a point where responsibilty goes beyond specific knowledge of certain events and resides in how you act no matter what that specific knowledge is. If you could steal something w/o getting caught would you do it? I'm really pointing to a higher level of responsibility and in some cases morality.

Like buttholes everyone had one.

Everyone had one? Where have they gone? Mine's still there...

#37: I learned Lex Luther is a desperate con artist who sleeps with old widows for money.

 

[JamalYIgle]

#38: That depending on the movie , you hear the same complaints.
*Spiderman: Casting,organic webshooters, no Gwen Stacy until the third film,changing Doc Ock, Changing costumes no rubber mask on the Green goblin.Oh and the "actor X didn't work out enough for the role" even though you see footage of him in shape.
*Fantastic four: Casting, costumes, the Thing's make up, Doctor Doom being changed,now people are *****ing about the Fantasticar.
Same thing with the X-men, Superman,the Bat movies. All I hear is complaints, and it really boggles the mind.

#39. Superman is an idiot.

#40. Lex Luthor is an idiot.

#41. No matter what near death experience Lois Lane goes through her hair and make-up will always stay intact and she'll never bruise.

#42. A lot of staring and rehashing lines/scenes from Superman '78 somehow counts as a story and character development.

SR was not as bad as everyone made it out to be. I will concede it lacked action,but had a decent story.
I liked the humanization of superman,if you watch his reactions to lois saying he didn't love him,to the article she wrote. Showed he had some emotions.

I overall liked SR over X3. Ya X3 had more action,but the movie just fliped floped around no real continuity. Best scene was the end scene with Phoenix destroying everything, thats it. O,ya Mystick(sorry I spelled it way wrong,but you know who I mean), she was soo freaking hot. Never knew a blue chick could turn ya on..

#43. That today's super-tough, street-wise, precocious kids can be terrified into fits of screaming by nothing more than a man's hairpiece

#44. That a seasoned, Pulitzer-prizewinning reporter can go on an investigative inquiry wearing an evening gown and taking her child with her

#45. That Superman is dumb enough to believe his FoS, harbouring all that's left of his entire civilisation, can be protected by a mild snowstorm.

#46. That museums are dumb enough to keep exhibits of kryptonite on public display in a world where everyone knows it's Superman's fatal weakness

(regardding #46) You know X-maniac... how you managed to misinterpret such a simple clear scene really goes to show how determined you are to make up excuses to not like this movie.

That particular meteor is not called kryptonite. His designation is: Adis Ababa L9 Pallasite Meteorite. Not exactly a detailed description of its effects on Superman, now is it?
The museum curators obviously did not know the meteor was kryptonite, otherwise Lex Luthor would clearly not need special goggles to identify it. I am quite sure that those pieces of kryptonite that are known as kryptonite are in the posession of the military. Just in case...

Dear Ms Vader of 'Baltarstar Galactica'....I am not 'determined' to 'make up' 'excuses' to not like the movie. Otherwise i wouldn't have the novelisation, The Art of SR - and the DVD on order!

I was merely playing the game being played in this thread.

One can only wonder why Addis Ababa is such a meteor hotspot though. But thanks for the information.

You know, I have the movie playing on a loop at work and that scene kinda made me laugh out loud at how rediculous it was. Also, when Lois walks on board a boat...you know..that she doesn't own or anything...Singer made a big deal about the "Wig room" scene...OMG WIGS! SHOCKING!

Superman Returns 2 : Luthor and Kumar go to the wig house

#47. Superman needs 'S' shields on the bottom of his shoes for....something....like.... uhm.../runs away

I mean, a super-powered man in the heat of passion would prove to be a health hazard for the woman!!!

But here's the thing: in SII Lester*, he had given up his powers BEFORE he and Lois slept together.

#48. Lex Luthor doesn't know how to pick women. First, Ms. Teschmacher saves Superman in the first film, then Kitty dumps the crystals in Returns.
