We have been looking up this week, enjoying Superman new and old. This year’s Superman is James Gunn’s first film as head honcho for the DC Universe, and bears many of his technicolor trademarks. But how much does it owe to the OG, 1978’s Superman the Movie, starring Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman? And does the original still stand up 47 years later? Which film has the longest opening credits we’ve seen in forever? Which film did we watch twice in the space of six hours? Which film takes an hour and nine minutes before we see any superfeats? Which film has the best toupees? And why, why, why, why, WHY do we keep saying ‘Batman’ instead of ‘Superman’?
Plus: an alien invasion by CGI slugs from 2006, a hyper violent low budget superhero spoof from 2010, a happy week spent in a state park, two boxes of candy cigarettes, a concert with St Vincent, a very long single from Laurie Anderson, and some tantric advice for Sting as we join the Seven Minute Climax Club…
