Superman Returns Spacey Hosting SNL May 20th

Cool. Spacey should be a good host. He does have a pretty good sense of humor it seems.

 

That's cool. I might have watched if this was ten years ago, but I hate SNL now a days.

 

Yeah, despite my dislike for the show, I'll probably end up tuning in for it.

 

They probably will. I expect Routh to be pretty big after SR hits theaters. At least for a while.

 

^If he does as good as Reeve did (and I have great faith that he will), than he'll stay "BIG" for all time, just like Reeve.

 

Funny you said that...He wasn't a big actor (true)... But did he not become remembered as the man of steel ever since?? He did fantastic as superman, and that performence alone made him popular for all time. At least up until now.

 

It'll be good to see Spacey host again. The last time he hosted it was hilarious. Then again, we're currently in a season where neither Steve Martin or Alec Baldwin were able to get the cast back to a truely funny status, so if they can't do it, I don't know if anyone can.

 

Spacey would be an awesome host...I hope Brandon does a suprise cameo!

 

last time he hosted it was during the Star Wars SE rereleases. One of the sketch's they did was "tapes of the auditions" of different stars trying out for parts. Spacey did Chris Walken trying out for Han Solo and Walter Matthau trying out for Obi Wan. I think he may have done others, but those are the only 2 I can remember. It was hilarious. They had Daryl Hammond as Richard Dryfus trying out for C-3PO, Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds trying out for Han Solo, damn funny stuff. Can't remember much else, but it was like 9 years ago, I was 12, lol. I can't be expected to remember everything, .

 

Cool about Spacey. He's hosted before and I'm sure will do fine. He's quite funny.

As far as Reeve, you all need to watch Somewhere in Time. It's not the usual movie a lot of you would have seen, but it shows that Reeve can do a lot more than just Superman.

It always saddened me that Reeve didn't do more high profile stuff. He was a very gifted actor and it's a tragedy his true talents weren't seen on a larger scale beyond Superman.

 

As cool as Spacey is, I shall not go back to the world of the unfunny SNL.

 

TPTB offered him those roles?!? they must have been senile.

I couldn't imagine reeves uttering lines like

"get your ass to mars, get your ass to mars"

"Consider it a divorce"

LOL

On the other hand those movies might have been more cerebral than action if he was onboard

Spacey was great in that 1997 star wars test screenings sketch

"what the bleep is a wookie?"

 

for those interested in the Spacey's first time hosting here are trascripts from his episode:

Awesome. This will be great exposure for the movie.

 

we can probably expect a tv trailer.
