I'm not sure I even want to admit this on a superhero message board, but I never even had HEARD of X-Men until the film was playing in theaters. I had no clue. Yeah, I know I said I had comic books strewn across my floor as a kid. But they were ALL Superman comics. LOL For X-Men, who was cast or not cast - as the case might be - was totally moot to me. Hell, Danny DiVito could have played Wolverine and I would heve been like, okay. Kinda short - but maybe he's *supposed* to be short. [wink wink]
No doubt. How amazing would it be to have gone to high school with Clark Kent?
Wait, I did!!!
I spent four years with the guy. I even know his parents. They're pretty cool. Mom makes great apple pies, and father is a little stubborn, but he's a great dad. Clark is afraid of heights and hates peas. He likes flannel, but blue looks best on him. He likes to play hoops and football. He has a passion for astronomy, and a fascination with Native American cave paintings and lore. His first words were his birth mother's name, Lara. His friends are loyal, if not a bit nosey at times. Clark has a secret, but he'd be horrified to know how many people actually know it. Geeze, even *I* know. Poor guy. Somebody should just tell him to relax 'cause everything is gonna work out peachy. Then again, it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey that counts...
*sigh* Is any of this sinking in yet? Like I previously said, I used to watch L&C too, but I never wanted Dean Cain to play Superman in a film. He was just another actor to don the suit.
Heh. As if physical attractiveness doesn't influence most of the guys posting about who they feel should play Lois?
See, THIS is a perfect example of where somebody's opinion is valued less because they're labeled biased. I know this is gonna make some folks here cringe, but fanboys need to wake up to the fact that Superman appeals to more than just a male audience. And when it comes to entertainment, men aren't very different than woman: sex appeal IS important.
I would be interested to find out WHY the photo was shuffled so much. What was it about Reeve that turned Donner off at first?
Well, that's one hurdle cleared, I guess.
He's got the features that worked for Brandon Lee 
Features that wouldn't work for Superman but definitely would work for a role like that.
) Glad you posted it, it's really one of the more beautiful shots I've seen.
(I can say that over here...it's a Tom Welling thread!)
