Superman Returns The Official Brandon Routh IS Superman thread.

[triplet]

Your story about driving in Kansas *does* sound scary. I'm just suffering from cabin fever, but I can't imagine the fun of driving in a blizzard. When you had to stop four hours from home, was it basically a white out condition where you couldn't even see a foot down the road?

yeah, basically. The snow was the loose powdery stuff that only seems to happen out West here, never saw that kind of snow growing up back East.

And the storm had started out as freezing rain, so the roads were covered with an almost solid sheet of ice, the snow was getting heavy and the wind was whipping it around and the sun had gone down and I had the kids in the car.

And People were blowing by me like I was standing still and it was them that scared me more than anything.

It was when I'd seen some dude spin out in front of me (he was OK, just ended up pointing the wrong way on the side of the Interstate...) that I decided to pull over at the first opportunity... unfortunately, it was at least another hour before I got to an exit with a hotel.

There's a whole lot of nothing in Kansas, if you weren't aware...

I probably would have wrecked the car and died under a foot of snow. Hell, it rains here in California and nobody knows what to do.

You would have flown, which is what I shoulda done, so you woulda been fine.

As for California: I lived in there for awhile (up on the Monterey Peninsula) and you're right: you guys really don't know how to drive in weather...

Lest we forget, back when Caviezel was linked to the role, Rich Johnston came out and asserted that Caviezel must be a closeted gay if he got cast. If Singer had cast him, the gay rumors would be swirling around him as well. So how can we take the gay claims around Routh seriously when Caviezel was targeted as well? It seems like people are just looking for excuses to bash Singer and are picking on his actors in order to do so.

So, what's the reason for these rumors?

A leading man in a Singer film must be gay because the director is?

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard so I think you're right. People are looking to bash Singer and are using these inane rumors as thin excuses to do so.

 

[Clarkman]

Among so many reasons, this "casting couch" crap makes no sense because Brandon Routh was brought up by McG! Not by his alleged boyfriend Singer. In fact, if we are to believe in what the serious insiders say, Singer's number 1 choice was Tom Welling. Routh was a compromise between Singer and WB. Now, if you were a blockbuster director willing to cast your boyfriend as the lead, would he be your second option? Would he be your "compromise" option?

Hi all,

Just a quick mention to let you know that "COLD CASE" starts on SkyOne this thursday.

According to IMDB, it is episode 7 that will feature BRANDON ROUTH. So expect to see it in 7 weeks.

Hope this is of interest.

I am saddened that this got merged. Now it is lost in this enormous thread and UK fans are worse for not knowing.

There is a world outside the US, you know Supes.

I'll put it on BR.C. I'll update again as his episode nears.

 

[Captain Villa]

Thanks but I doubt it would get the same exposure.

Yeah, it's hilarious ... we're having all of these "severe weather alerts" for bands of heavy showers moving across Los Angeles. Not for rain. Not for sleet or snow. Not for violent thunderstorms.

Showers.

I suppose the alerts are mainly for a risk of mudslides in the hills, but still ... you get any kind of weather around here, and people go into brain fart mode. Our "crack" local hysteria news teams (Channel 4 is the worst with their "storm watch" reports) don't exactly help either.

If there was any amount of snowfall, we'd all be dead.

You don't take them seriously. The woman (and others) making those claims is clearly bored and has nothing better to do with her life. Ultimately, I guess it just tells you something about the rampant hatred of homosexuals in this country, which is awful.

Oh well. Hopefully we can put this subject to rest until the next gay bashing troll wanders into the boards ...

Is this season 1 or season 2?

Edit: Did some digging. This appears to be the premiere of season 2. Season 1 seems to be winding to a close.

There are two things I never take seriously, ever: George W Bush and media rumors about movie actors´sexuality...

 

[Puckenstein]

*Sigh* Not again.

You know this won't end unless he makes a public statement about his sexual orientation - which will never happen. And even then, people will still question it.

Actually, she seems to be really turned on by the idea of Routh and Singer on the "casting couch." Which doesn't make it any easier....

I agree with one of the above posters. Until/unless Routh makes a statement, this rumor-mongering won't go away. People are still clinging to Rich Johnston's line about Singer's so-called "gay role model agenda" like it's holy scripture, and the only thing that's going to short-circuit it is Routh coming out and stating exactly what he is. Which, as previously mentioned, probably won't happen because (a) the gay claims likely are false and (b) it would be really embarrassing to have to publicly state your sexuality one way or the other. What a mess....

 

[superfever]

who is she btw? a maggot isn't she?

anyway, people love to believe you are either gay or playboy for the actor; lesbian or **** for the actress in this industry. people need gossip to live and carry on their lives. yeah, they are pathetic, so be merciful to them.
