Comic Book Anniversaries of Note
Apr. 18th, 2021 07:26 pmSo. Action Comics # 1 + 83 years today, too?
Well, I had fun for the 90 minutes it was on. It helped me stay sane (enough).
Interesting to see such a flourish of the cape to Marvel and DC's publications...and the early days of Byrne's Superman in particular, right there on the air for all to see. Was that a specific choice of Moffat's?

Let that baseball team rebrand themselves as the Capes.
Why?
Because that city is where Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first created the Superman franchise in its earliest form.
"The Cleveland Capes".
How does it sound?

I've yet to see her work beyond cameos in more recent shows for TV and film, but this lady was the first to bring the character to live action.
I've no doubt she'll be missed.

Movies: Batman v Superman - Details I
Apr. 2nd, 2016 11:21 pmHad a thought...
( ...that is certainly in speculative/spoiler turf... )
And I'll just leave that there behind the cut. I'll probably edit that out in about a month after original posting, if that's alright.

There.
I'm probably going to do another post later on, dealing with more trivia-minded issues...
Some interesting mapping linkages re: Detroit and Gotham for the purpose of this movie:

Man of Steel: About Perry White
Jun. 13th, 2013 03:32 pmThere's just one more thing.
There's a point in the final third of the movie, where I saw something. I won't say what it is right now. You're going to have to see it for yourselves.
It took about half a day to really sink in, but when it did, I damn near broke down in tears.
Because Laurence Fishburne got the job done.
I've seen other actors play the character, but Fishburne was the guy who understood the human being. And I will defend that casting choice to my death.

Saw the advance screening at the Coliseum here in Ottawa tonight.
I'm going to keep it brief.
Performances from the actors were solid. Good choices by the casting people.
Combat scenes were Intense. Between that and the dialogue, which - sad to say - was entirely realistic where kids and teenagers talking to one another was concerned, I'd be inclined to make very certain that parents or other trusted adults see this one either before or with the kids they plan to take. Saying more than that goes into spoiler turf.
The foreshadows of future instalments are quiet, not drawing too much attention unless you're actively looking for them.
I like this version of Lois Lane as scripted and performed. Very much.
Oh, and one other thing: don't watch the 3D edition if you can avoid it. Your eyesight will thank you for it.
Opinions?

Jun. 12th, 2013 04:39 pmOff to see that movie tonight with friends.
More later, if I have the energy.

So...about Krypton's homestar?
Nov. 5th, 2012 01:48 pmSeems Neil DeGrasse Tyson's been asked to weigh in for DC's current editorial purposes which star and where in our sky we can find it.
I remember back in the late 1980's that John Byrne referred to an unidentified red dwarf located "50 light-years away", partly out of respect for the 50th anniversary of the Superman franchise's founding. I don't think the star in question was ever specifically nailed down by name or catalogue number, although a number of amateur and professional astronomers have come up with usable maps and lists and posted or otherwise published them so that the public - science-fiction, fantasy and super-hero writers among them - could have their own fun with the material.
Before Byrne, there was Elliot S! Maggin with his statement about Antares in either Miracle Monday or Last Son of Krypton. Not sure which novel it was.
And did Mark Waid say something in Birthright about the Andromeda Galaxy?

ruckawriter drew my attention to the situation via this commentary. Go read it. And then act, as your conscience bids.
