No place to run, no place to. Hide.
Are you being serious right now?Yeah.
You'd let me interview you as Superman?
(01:32):
Sure. Ready.
Let's do it, Cronkite. Superman.
Miss Lane. Recently you've come under a lot
of fire for what some might it'sit's a lot.
(01:53):
Today the Secretary of Defense said he was going to look into
your actions. That that's funny.
My actions. I stopped a war.
Maybe. Not maybe I did.
In effect, you illegally entereda country.
This is how you're going to be. I'm not the one being
interviewed. Superman, Did you consult with
(02:14):
the president? No, you.
Seemingly acting as a representative at the United.
States of anybody. Except for.
Me. Around the world and doing good.
I would question myself in the same situation and consider the
consequences. People were going to die,
Superman. Hey buddy, eyes up here.
(02:59):
Your choices, your actions. That's what makes you who you.
Are Superman. He's not a man, he's an it.
(03:29):
I somehow become the focal pointof the entire world's
conversation. I will not accept that.
I cleaned your boots. I'll go get them for you.
(04:13):
All right, ladies and gentlemen,my name is Brett Keene.
You are watching and listening to GOD TV Radio.

station. You can also check out my new
CD, my album release as well as but.
So let's get into the trailer ofSuperman, the official trailer
(04:34):
by DC. There's actually been quite a
few clips of a lot of that material and content already out
there, like the dog and the bleeding in the snow and some of
the robots and everything that are a part of the, I believe the
Fortress of Isolation is what they call it.
(04:56):
Well, first I'm going to put AT like this.
This is hard for me to watch these newer versions of
Superman. I was in love with the older
version with Christopher Reeves didn't really care for much of
the other Superman's long beforehim.
(05:16):
And that was probably because they didn't have the kind of CGI
effects and neat stuff, and theydidn't concentrate really on
character building. Back in the 50s and 60s, it was
pretty much, you know, he runs in, saves somebody.
And there wasn't really no storyline.
I enjoyed the TV version of Loisand Clark.
(05:37):
I do like Dean Cain's version ofSuperman, but not even close to
Christopher Reeves. Henry Cavill came along and I
remember I felt like, are we ready for this?
Well, Henry Cavill wasn't the the first one.
There was another guy, Ruth or something like that, who played
(05:59):
The Return of Superman. And it wasn't a bad movie.
The guy looked a lot like Christopher Reeves, a skinnier
version, and he had the whole Superman and Clark Kent kind of
personality. See there's always been kind of
a problem with Superman movies. Either they focus too much on
(06:21):
Superman or they try their best to make Clark Kent as clumsy as
possible. But usually it is that the movie
spend too much time on Superman and his heroic feats and actions
and not really the human side ofthem.
Where Man of Steel with Henry Cavill, actually, he showed you
(06:42):
what it was like for him as a child.
I know people are going to say, well, there was a damn TV show
that had like 20 seasons to it, Smallville.
You could have watched that. That wasn't terrible or bad or
anything, but I don't know. I just wasn't feeling that one
as much. Henry Cavill, whenever he got on
(07:02):
the screen, it wasn't just HenryCavill himself, it was also the
other people, the guy who actually played.
What's that damn name? The Zod.
Oh my goodness, said Scream. And I will find him.
I will, you know, destroy him, dismember him and all that kind
(07:23):
of stuff. That guy was, that guy was raw.
He was brutal, man. He is an actor that I enjoy
watching a lot. I just can't seem to get the
damn name out. You guys can tell me in
comments. And then the woman who played
his mother. Absolutely beautiful.
(07:44):
And then there was Russell Croweactually playing the part that
before in the Chris Reeves, Marlon Brando played the
original father of Superman, andhe was good.
He was pretty good. I heard that he was an annoyance
to deal with for the other actors as well as directors
(08:06):
'cause he didn't like to actually read his scripts.
He just wanted to get out there,say a couple things and take the
paycheck. But Christopher Reeves really
made it. And of course, the late deceased
Gene Hackman playing Lex Luthor.He added some humor, but he also
made it intense and made you actually concerned.
(08:28):
I think that Superman was good all the way up to 3-4.
Got a little cringy with the Nuclear Man and then them over
dubbing Gene Hackman's voice over the Nuclear Man, which I
didn't think was necessary because the Nuclear Man already
had. The guy who played Nuclear Man
actually had a cool voice. They could have just used Let
(08:50):
him talk. They could have added, I guess,
a lower pitch to it. So this Superman comes along.
My issue is, ladies and gentlemen, is that I'm getting
wary. I'm getting fatigued by all
these different versions of Batman, all these different
versions of The Flash, all theseversions of, I think they took a
(09:13):
long enough time with Wonder Woman.
There was no way we were going to get the older version back.
And she did a successful TV show, the original, back in the
80s. It was plenty of time went by to
go ahead and do a remake or a new version of her.
And the new Wonder Woman is beautiful.
She's absolutely sexy, glorious in every way.
(09:33):
But Superman, boy, they just keep on doing it.
The Snyder universe. Oh, I got, I went ahead.
I didn't like the Justice LeagueSuperman video, not the edited
version, but I did sit down and throw some cash down.
I bought the entire four or fivehour Z Snyder thing and damn it,
(09:58):
that's a bad ass movie. They should have never cut
anything out of that. That made the movie a totally
different deal all together. Yeah, incredible.
The introduction itself, you already got your skin crawling
and sugars down your spine just by watching the start of that
movie from beginning to end. Fantastic.
(10:23):
So what do we got here? We got James Gunn.
He's put out his version of Superman.
Here's how I tolerate these new remakes.
I just pretend to myself that that Henry Cavill Superman is
still alive and running around. And the character Superman, that
was Christopher Reeve, he's got his own alternate universe.
(10:43):
Henry's got his and I'm willing to accept.
I'm open minded and I got to be honest with you, ladies and
gentlemen, I was really nervous.I knew that they were throwing
around the idea doing Superman, but I was getting really nervous
because everybody was talking about we need a homosexual,
(11:04):
black, lesbian, polka dotted Superman.
And I'm like, no, we don't need that shit at all.
I don't need any of what was putin any of those categories.
I do not need Superman to go woke.
To me, that would have been like, I'm ready for the
Antichrist, the end of the worldkind of thing.
(11:25):
I don't need to see that shit. Can Ioffer some advice to people
out there who are mentally deranged and feel like that kind
of shit's got to be pushed into everything in your politics?
Why don't you learn how to be creative and unique, create your
own stupid ass characters and then make a comic book out of it
(11:45):
or a movie. And when you go broke and shut
then at least you can tell yourself you tried.
But leave my legacy characters alone.
Leave characters alone that havealready been established and
lore. Don't fuck with it.
Don't touch my shit. And for those out there who
think lesbians need to be represented in black people and
(12:07):
all that, you can always use Spawn.
He's one of the most bad ass fucking characters in the world.
There's always Blade, you know. There's plenty of awesome black
superheroes, you do not need to tell us that they're not
represented enough. We love them, we've accepted
them, they're a part of our lives.
OK, so fuck you on your whateveris going on in your brain.
(12:31):
Maybe you don't know enough about comic books and movies
yourself to realize that people of all color and diversity are
fucking represented fine. Hell, they turned Batgirl into a
lesbian and it's got it was one of the most annoying fucking
things I had to watch. People are going to say, why do
you got a problem with lesbian Batgirl for?
(12:53):
Because the whole fucking reasonanybody watched Batman was
because this was a guy who was stripped of his identity, was a
a kid that watched his parents get murdered in front of him.
The last thing on his fucking mind is where he was getting
Dick and pussy from. Batman was The Dark Knight.
He went out and fucking took outderanged ass lunatics who were
(13:15):
destroying the city of Gotham. That was the priority we were
concerned about, not who he was having sex with.
In fact, most of the Batman movies stayed away from
relationships. The idea was Bruce Wayne is a
very isolated person. Anyone that he tries to have a
relationship with it would be crippling for him.
It was one of his vulnerabilities as a human.
(13:37):
He didn't want to drag people into his pain and suffering.
Alfred would constantly complainyou need to get married, fuck
the Batman costume, have a real life, be happy for once.
That was the entire point. The psychological attributes of
Batman, why people love him. We bring back girl along and she
(13:58):
ain't got no real. She had a tragedy where
supposedly Batman tried to save her and she got dropped in a
fucking hole or something and her mom died and the sister
turned into a a like a bullshit version of I forget what the
Joker's girlfriends called Holly.
No, I don't know. I don't give a shit.
(14:20):
I don't really care about that character.
She's been blown up all over that Suicide Squad shit, and
she's not all that for me. I think she's been, for some
reason, people took a psychotic female and turned her into a sex
object. You weird sick fucking pervert
to you. Yeah, It's like right on the tip
(14:42):
of my tongue what her name is. I guess it doesn't really
matter. So this Superman, while the
graphics are great, the special effects are nice.
It's obvious that the idea and concept behind this version of
Superman is they're trying to bring back the Christopher
Reeves concept. An innocent guy who is found
(15:07):
himself in our world with powersand abilities, and he's trying
to use them for good. It appears as though there's a
lot of fucking shit going on here.
He's got giant Godzilla monstersknocking fucking buildings over.
You've got super villains who are kicking the shit out of
everything and killing people. You got Lex Luthor who looks
(15:28):
like AI don't know he he doesn'tlook like a cool Lex Luthor.
I'm sorry, but he doesn't. Does anybody ever watch to come
or read the comic books? Lex Luthor is this built
corporate looking guy. He's strong, he's tough.
He's not some kind of weird, like fucking warped face guy.
(15:51):
He's the type of guy that women adore and people look up to.
He's real smart, knows how to run business.
I mean, he's a human being who actually gives Superman a run
for his fucking money. So I don't know.
I don't know what I think about Lex Luthor.
People have to understand that Superman and Batman and The
(16:12):
Flash and all these type of characters, it's not just the
hero themselves that make the movie or the comic book or the
film or a show. You have to have the enemies
have to be bad ass too. They have to be interesting.
They have to be fucking smart. People are bored of seeing the
dopey ass bad guy who ends up eventually basically telling his
(16:35):
whole plan to the bad guy or thegood guy and then getting
himself killed in the end. You want to believe that there's
an actual struggle there, and you can't have a real struggle
unless your foe or your enemy issmart, strong, and has his own
actual justifications that you can almost relate to and
(16:56):
identify with. That's what makes them so
attractive. And Batman's characters are a
lot like that. That's why the Joker's so
popular. At least some versions of Jack
Nicholson. Heath Ledger version and Mark
Hamill, the cartoon animated version.
He's an idiot in real life, MarkHamill.
(17:17):
But as the Joker, he excels. And I don't have to remind
people, I suppose, that he was Luke Skywalker back in the day
when Star Wars actually meant something to us all his
children. So yeah, this Superman, well,
this is the first time in the movies, at least the comic books
(17:39):
did it 100 times. But this is the first time
they're introducing Super Dawg, the character that plays Lois
Lane. She appears to be pretty and
cool. That's one thing that was
missing from the Christopher Reeves version of Superman.
The woman they chose is Lois. Good actress which helped to get
(18:01):
through the movie looking at her, but when it came to
physical appearance, he wasn't something even an average man
would find attractive or interesting.
I suppose back when she was 20 years old you'd she was one of
those, you know, double bag themtypes.
But as she got older playing Lois Lane, it was just it just
(18:21):
didn't look right next to Christopher Reeves.
Christopher Reeves was an absolute God like figure is
where her she well, I hate to bemean, but she looked like dog
shit. The Lois Lane in the Henry
Cavill movie, in the Lois Lane that played in the roof's film,
(18:43):
he a roof or whatever the fuck his name was.
She was pretty and she was able to carry herself.
She was believable as Lois Lane,sadly, and Lois and Clark, the
woman who played Lois, although she was pretty, she was fucking
annoying. Absolutely annoying.
(19:04):
All these other Lois's, wheneverthey got into trouble, you
wanted Superman to save them. This girl and Lois and Clark, if
it wasn't for Dean Cain you would have been like, yeah just
let her let that rocket or elephant fall on her and just
get rid of her ass and get rid of the lowest part and just keep
it as Clark as Superman or something.
(19:26):
Couldn't stand that woman. Oh constantly bitching and
saying crazy shit. Worst fucking journalist on the
planet. Well, so you guys are probably
waiting for me to say something about this Superman.
Well, I don't know what to actually say.
(19:46):
A lot of what I was seeing on the screen, I don't know what
the fuck I'm looking at. It appears as though the
Fantastic Four is going to be making a cameo appearance.
I recognize I think his name wasnot Hawkeye but Birdman or.
Hawk Man or some shit like that,that was a character.
I've seen a lot of covers of thecomic books but I just did not
(20:08):
find that character interesting and never got into that comic
book. But who knows maybe this movie
will do it. I don't know.
Why are there fucking monsters? I don't know, maybe they opened
a portal, maybe a dimension openup and that's why all these
assholes are flooding in along with the these fucking Godzilla
(20:28):
like creatures. I don't know, it was just a lot
to look at. It was obviously it brings out
the child and all of us, the nostalgia by hearing the fucking
old Christopher Reeve music, butall amped up with some kind of
cinematic vibe to it. That's cool and you're waiting
(20:49):
for that. I got to be honest with you, I
love Christopher Reeve's old Superman music, but I was
starting to get kind of, I was starting to get attached to
Henry Cavill's music. It was very powerful and
emotional. It really, really fit the mood
(21:11):
of the movie and shit. Very good.
I wonder what they're going to do though.
I'm curious, is Superman alreadygoing to be grown up?
It seems like with every Superman or television show
Superman, they always got to show the little baby and the
fucking ball of spikes that get shot out in the universe and
comes to Earth. They usually revisit what
(21:33):
Superman was like as a kid and then they get into it.
Or are they just going to jump right into it?
Are they going to say Superman'shere and do like one of those
things where while we're watching it, he has flashbacks
of what he used to be? Or Dad?
Because I did see the old man with the cross eyes.
I've seen him in the movies before.
He usually plays a fucking weirdo or a bum or something.
(21:56):
But apparently he's going to be,you know, old Kent who adopted
Superman when he landed in the cornfield and shit, taking care
of him. I wonder how that's going to go.
I noticed there wasn't a woman and every Superman the father
dies either from a heart attack or being destroyed by a tornado
(22:18):
while Superman watches. This time it looks like the old
man's alive but no imagery of the of Miss Clark.
You know the the old woman. Maybe they're reversing the
story and letting the dad live this time and killing the old
lady. I don't know.
(22:38):
Well, it it's a movie I'm going to want to watch.
It's I'm not really so excited. I feel the need to go out to the
movie theater and fucking donateblood in order to afford movie
theaters around here are super expensive.
We're talking if I took my kids to go see it that are young
adults. Now we're talking 60 fucking
(23:00):
dollars and that's before soda and popcorn and bullshit.
I was really hoping that a lot of these movie people would keep
their word and make it to where I could just stream movies at
home and shit that are at the theater, but they fucking
haven't gotten around to gettingthat straightened out.
So I guess I'll have to wait forthe DVD or Blu-ray or whatever.
(23:23):
I don't, you know, Honestly, I don't really deal with fuck DVDs
anymore. Blu-ray, I usually buy them off
of Prime or some movie places that I go through the app
through my either my Xbox or my machine like that.
Yeah, so there it is. Whoop, There it is.
(23:45):
It looks good. It looks interesting.
I'm willing to give it a shot. Lot of shit going on.
I hope there's not so much pile into it that we don't get an
actual storyline that's not justSuperman thrown into a world of
hurt. Do you notice that?
Do you notice that every single trailer about Superman so far is
(24:07):
about him getting the shit kicked out of him being dropped
from the sky in the cement or he's fucking bleeding in the
snow or something? It's always Superman hurt.
This is the first time we're in a trailer.
We actually get to see him talking while getting, while
seeing flashes and him getting hit with a fucking tank shot at
(24:27):
having cams thrown at his head. Is that the focus?
Superman getting spit on by humans?
And basically they're taking Superman into the New Testament,
you know, where he's trying to do good and then you, you know,
beat him up or try to abuse him and, you know, try to kill him
in the end. Is that what we're going for?
(24:49):
A New Testament, you know, JesusSuperman type of story 'cause
that's basically what I've been seeing every damn time I turn on
a clip of this. It's Superman getting shit
whipped out of him, or grabbed or punched or, you know, speared
by some big WWE wrestler lookingson of a bitch.
(25:10):
You guys notice that? Am I missing something here?
Is he not getting his ass kickedin every fucking moment of the
trailer except for whenever he'syelling at Lois?
No, I'm just trying to be a goodguy.
I'm just trying to do right. You know?
Technically, he's being physically abused and
emotionally abused by the woman that he loves.
(25:31):
Instead of supporting him and encouraging him, she's getting
Superman pissed off and then she's going to write a paper
about him and cause more trouble.
That's Lois for you. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
God bless.
Born in the shadows of a flickering light, Tiny hands

I didn't like the Justice LeagueSuperman video, not the edited
version, but I did sit down and throw some cash down.
I bought the entire four or fivehour Z Snyder thing and damn it,
(09:58):
that's a bad ass movie. They should have never cut
anything out of that. That made the movie a totally
different deal all together. Yeah, incredible.
The introduction itself, you already got your skin crawling
and sugars down your spine just by watching the start of that
movie from beginning to end. Fantastic.
(10:23):
So what do we got here? We got James Gunn.
He's put out his version of Superman.
Here's how I tolerate these new remakes.
I just pretend to myself that that Henry Cavill Superman is
still alive and running around. And the character Superman, that
was Christopher Reeve, he's got his own alternate universe.
(10:43):
Henry's got his and I'm willing to accept.
I'm open minded and I got to be honest with you, ladies and
gentlemen, I was really nervous.I knew that they were throwing
around the idea doing Superman, but I was getting really nervous
because everybody was talking about we need a homosexual,
(11:04):
black, lesbian, polka dotted Superman.
And I'm like, no, we don't need that shit at all.
I don't need any of what was putin any of those categories.
I do not need Superman to go woke.
To me, that would have been like, I'm ready for the
Antichrist, the end of the worldkind of thing.
(11:25):
I don't need to see that shit. Can Ioffer some advice to people
out there who are mentally deranged and feel like that kind
of shit's got to be pushed into everything in your politics?
Why don't you learn how to be creative and unique, create your
own stupid ass characters and then make a comic book out of it
(11:45):
or a movie. And when you go broke and shut
then at least you can tell yourself you tried.
But leave my legacy characters alone.
Leave characters alone that havealready been established and
lore. Don't fuck with it.
Don't touch my shit. And for those out there who
think lesbians need to be represented in black people and
(12:07):
all that, you can always use Spawn.
He's one of the most bad ass fucking characters in the world.
There's always Blade, you know. There's plenty of awesome black
superheroes, you do not need to tell us that they're not
represented enough. We love them, we've accepted
them, they're a part of our lives.
OK, so fuck you on your whateveris going on in your brain.
(12:31):
Maybe you don't know enough about comic books and movies
yourself to realize that people of all color and diversity are
fucking represented fine. Hell, they turned Batgirl into a
lesbian and it's got it was one of the most annoying fucking
things I had to watch. People are going to say, why do
you got a problem with lesbian Batgirl for?
(12:53):
Because the whole fucking reasonanybody watched Batman was
because this was a guy who was stripped of his identity, was a
a kid that watched his parents get murdered in front of him.
The last thing on his fucking mind is where he was getting
Dick and pussy from. Batman was The Dark Knight.
He went out and fucking took outderanged ass lunatics who were
(13:15):
destroying the city of Gotham. That was the priority we were
concerned about, not who he was having sex with.
In fact, most of the Batman movies stayed away from
relationships. The idea was Bruce Wayne is a
very isolated person. Anyone that he tries to have a
relationship with it would be crippling for him.
It was one of his vulnerabilities as a human.
(13:37):
He didn't want to drag people into his pain and suffering.
Alfred would constantly complainyou need to get married, fuck
the Batman costume, have a real life, be happy for once.
That was the entire point. The psychological attributes of
Batman, why people love him. We bring back girl along and she
(13:58):
ain't got no real. She had a tragedy where
supposedly Batman tried to save her and she got dropped in a
fucking hole or something and her mom died and the sister
turned into a a like a bullshit version of I forget what the
Joker's girlfriends called Holly.
No, I don't know. I don't give a shit.
(14:20):
I don't really care about that character.
She's been blown up all over that Suicide Squad shit, and
she's not all that for me. I think she's been, for some
reason, people took a psychotic female and turned her into a sex
object. You weird sick fucking pervert
to you. Yeah, It's like right on the tip
(14:42):
of my tongue what her name is. I guess it doesn't really
matter. So this Superman, while the
graphics are great, the special effects are nice.
It's obvious that the idea and concept behind this version of
Superman is they're trying to bring back the Christopher
Reeves concept. An innocent guy who is found
(15:07):
himself in our world with powersand abilities, and he's trying
to use them for good. It appears as though there's a
lot of fucking shit going on here.
He's got giant Godzilla monstersknocking fucking buildings over.
You've got super villains who are kicking the shit out of
everything and killing people. You got Lex Luthor who looks
(15:28):
like AI don't know he he doesn'tlook like a cool Lex Luthor.
I'm sorry, but he doesn't. Does anybody ever watch to come
or read the comic books? Lex Luthor is this built
corporate looking guy. He's strong, he's tough.
He's not some kind of weird, like fucking warped face guy.
(15:51):
He's the type of guy that women adore and people look up to.
He's real smart, knows how to run business.
I mean, he's a human being who actually gives Superman a run
for his fucking money. So I don't know.
I don't know what I think about Lex Luthor.
People have to understand that Superman and Batman and The
(16:12):
Flash and all these type of characters, it's not just the
hero themselves that make the movie or the comic book or the
film or a show. You have to have the enemies
have to be bad ass too. They have to be interesting.
They have to be fucking smart. People are bored of seeing the
dopey ass bad guy who ends up eventually basically telling his
(16:35):
whole plan to the bad guy or thegood guy and then getting
himself killed in the end. You want to believe that there's
an actual struggle there, and you can't have a real struggle
unless your foe or your enemy issmart, strong, and has his own
actual justifications that you can almost relate to and
(16:56):
identify with. That's what makes them so
attractive. And Batman's characters are a
lot like that. That's why the Joker's so
popular. At least some versions of Jack
Nicholson. Heath Ledger version and Mark
Hamill, the cartoon animated version.
He's an idiot in real life, MarkHamill.
(17:17):
But as the Joker, he excels. And I don't have to remind
people, I suppose, that he was Luke Skywalker back in the day
when Star Wars actually meant something to us all his
children. So yeah, this Superman, well,
this is the first time in the movies, at least the comic books
(17:39):
did it 100 times. But this is the first time
they're introducing Super Dawg, the character that plays Lois
Lane. She appears to be pretty and
cool. That's one thing that was
missing from the Christopher Reeves version of Superman.
The woman they chose is Lois. Good actress which helped to get
(18:01):
through the movie looking at her, but when it came to
physical appearance, he wasn't something even an average man
would find attractive or interesting.
I suppose back when she was 20 years old you'd she was one of
those, you know, double bag themtypes.
But as she got older playing Lois Lane, it was just it just
(18:21):
didn't look right next to Christopher Reeves.
Christopher Reeves was an absolute God like figure is
where her she well, I hate to bemean, but she looked like dog
shit. The Lois Lane in the Henry
Cavill movie, in the Lois Lane that played in the roof's film,
(18:43):
he a roof or whatever the fuck his name was.
She was pretty and she was able to carry herself.
She was believable as Lois Lane,sadly, and Lois and Clark, the
woman who played Lois, although she was pretty, she was fucking
annoying. Absolutely annoying.
(19:04):
All these other Lois's, wheneverthey got into trouble, you
wanted Superman to save them. This girl and Lois and Clark, if
it wasn't for Dean Cain you would have been like, yeah just
let her let that rocket or elephant fall on her and just
get rid of her ass and get rid of the lowest part and just keep
it as Clark as Superman or something.
(19:26):
Couldn't stand that woman. Oh constantly bitching and
saying crazy shit. Worst fucking journalist on the
planet. Well, so you guys are probably
waiting for me to say something about this Superman.
Well, I don't know what to actually say.
(19:46):
A lot of what I was seeing on the screen, I don't know what
the fuck I'm looking at. It appears as though the
Fantastic Four is going to be making a cameo appearance.
I recognize I think his name wasnot Hawkeye but Birdman or.
Hawk Man or some shit like that,that was a character.
I've seen a lot of covers of thecomic books but I just did not
(20:08):
find that character interesting and never got into that comic
book. But who knows maybe this movie
will do it. I don't know.
Why are there fucking monsters? I don't know, maybe they opened
a portal, maybe a dimension openup and that's why all these
assholes are flooding in along with the these fucking Godzilla
(20:28):
like creatures. I don't know, it was just a lot
to look at. It was obviously it brings out
the child and all of us, the nostalgia by hearing the fucking
old Christopher Reeve music, butall amped up with some kind of
cinematic vibe to it. That's cool and you're waiting
(20:49):
for that. I got to be honest with you, I
love Christopher Reeve's old Superman music, but I was
starting to get kind of, I was starting to get attached to
Henry Cavill's music. It was very powerful and
emotional. It really, really fit the mood
(21:11):
of the movie and shit. Very good.
I wonder what they're going to do though.
I'm curious, is Superman alreadygoing to be grown up?
It seems like with every Superman or television show
Superman, they always got to show the little baby and the
fucking ball of spikes that get shot out in the universe and
comes to Earth. They usually revisit what
(21:33):
Superman was like as a kid and then they get into it.
Or are they just going to jump right into it?
Are they going to say Superman'shere and do like one of those
things where while we're watching it, he has flashbacks
of what he used to be? Or Dad?
Because I did see the old man with the cross eyes.
I've seen him in the movies before.
He usually plays a fucking weirdo or a bum or something.
(21:56):
But apparently he's going to be,you know, old Kent who adopted
Superman when he landed in the cornfield and shit, taking care
of him. I wonder how that's going to go.
I noticed there wasn't a woman and every Superman the father
dies either from a heart attack or being destroyed by a tornado
(22:18):
while Superman watches. This time it looks like the old
man's alive but no imagery of the of Miss Clark.
You know the the old woman. Maybe they're reversing the
story and letting the dad live this time and killing the old
lady. I don't know.
(22:38):
Well, it it's a movie I'm going to want to watch.
It's I'm not really so excited. I feel the need to go out to the
movie theater and fucking donateblood in order to afford movie
theaters around here are super expensive.
We're talking if I took my kids to go see it that are young
adults. Now we're talking 60 fucking
(23:00):
dollars and that's before soda and popcorn and bullshit.
I was really hoping that a lot of these movie people would keep
their word and make it to where I could just stream movies at
home and shit that are at the theater, but they fucking
haven't gotten around to gettingthat straightened out.
So I guess I'll have to wait forthe DVD or Blu-ray or whatever.
(23:23):
I don't, you know, Honestly, I don't really deal with fuck DVDs
anymore. Blu-ray, I usually buy them off
of Prime or some movie places that I go through the app
through my either my Xbox or my machine like that.
Yeah, so there it is. Whoop, There it is.
(23:45):
It looks good. It looks interesting.
I'm willing to give it a shot. Lot of shit going on.
I hope there's not so much pile into it that we don't get an
actual storyline that's not justSuperman thrown into a world of
hurt. Do you notice that?
Do you notice that every single trailer about Superman so far is
(24:07):
about him getting the shit kicked out of him being dropped
from the sky in the cement or he's fucking bleeding in the
snow or something? It's always Superman hurt.
This is the first time we're in a trailer.
We actually get to see him talking while getting, while
seeing flashes and him getting hit with a fucking tank shot at
(24:27):
having cams thrown at his head. Is that the focus?
Superman getting spit on by humans?
And basically they're taking Superman into the New Testament,
you know, where he's trying to do good and then you, you know,
beat him up or try to abuse him and, you know, try to kill him
in the end. Is that what we're going for?
(24:49):
A New Testament, you know, JesusSuperman type of story 'cause
that's basically what I've been seeing every damn time I turn on
a clip of this. It's Superman getting shit
whipped out of him, or grabbed or punched or, you know, speared
by some big WWE wrestler lookingson of a bitch.
(25:10):
You guys notice that? Am I missing something here?
Is he not getting his ass kickedin every fucking moment of the
trailer except for whenever he'syelling at Lois?
No, I'm just trying to be a goodguy.
I'm just trying to do right. You know?
Technically, he's being physically abused and
emotionally abused by the woman that he loves.
(25:31):
Instead of supporting him and encouraging him, she's getting
Superman pissed off and then she's going to write a paper
about him and cause more trouble.
That's Lois for you. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
God bless.
