Over the weekend I watched Superman Returns for the first time.
I was flipping through the channels and saw it was coming on and decided to see if it lived down to my expectations.

First of all, my low expectations made watching it highly, highly enjoyable! I really liked the movie, it's a really good follow up to the second and canon-shafts Superman 3 & 4, which I think we can all agree were, um, not up to par.

Anyway the reason I'm a sissy: You know the part where Superman picks up the crystal continent, hurls it into space and then falls to the Earth?
I cried.
Like the big baby I am.
I also cried when he sat beside Jason in the night and spoke to him like Jor-El did in the first movie.
*wibble*

And what was up with Lois?!?! Dude, you were okay, but where was the spunk?! The attitude?! The whole deal!?
Once again Lois falls victim to the writing of men who really don't know how to write women *sigh*.

The guy who played Clark/Superman had mighty big boots to fill and he did so very well.
Petty he overshadowed the whole movie, I mean other than Clark/Superman, everyone else was average or lower.

All you say is true, everyone else was good, but I was just so overwhelmed by how good Superman/Clark was!
It was a petty he overshadowed everyone else (imo), but cast was really, well, haha, well cast!

That kid was so cute!

Ooooh, poly-family *claps happily*. Even though my OT3 is normally Clark/Lois/Bruce.

Maybe I had my slash goggles on, but I couldn't help but read Clark as gay!

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
