I purchased the DVD versions of Superman i and II the other day because they were on sale from Wal-Mart. I know, I know. Wal-Mart sucks. But here in my little burg there really isn’t much choice. And what can I say? Wal-Mart’s got good prices. My feeble attempts to ween myself from the supersweatshop are not working out very well. It’s probably my parents’ fault.

So anyway, I bought the two movies. I don’t recognize Superman III and IV as legitimate parts of the series. They sucked more than I can say, so they don’t exist. It’s a lot like Star Trek V.

I don’t have much for this post, except to say that Supe saved Lois Lane and the helicopter AGAIN! I mean, how many times has that guy done that, now? You’d think he’d get tired of that, but he keeps doing it over and over and OVER and always with a smile on his face. You know, Lois is kind of a klutz. Supe just doesn’t get annoyed with her at all.

Must be because of that hot bod of hers.

Update: Why doesn’t Supe just give Lois mouth-to-mouth? She’d only been dead for a minute or so when he found her. You’re telling me those super lungs of his can freeze entire lakes but they can’t give one mere mortal woman life-saving CPR? Maybe this guy isn’t so super after all.

Update in response to Shelli’s first comment: I agree that it was “in the script” and we were supposed to think that the man in black has come to call on Lois Lane, and here comes Supe to save the day. My point is, instead of giving her CPR, which would have worked just as well, he instead reverses time, and causes a whole bunch of other plot holes. If he’d have just given her CPR, he would have accomplished three things at once:

1 - He’d have saved her life (most important, I think)

2 - He’d get to kiss her multiple time. On the lips, even!

3 - He’d have to pump her heart to get it going, which would undoubtedly end up with him getting to cop a feel. Multiple times. Granted, he’s pretty much not going to be able to enjoy it because he’s, you know, saving her life. But Supe’s a guy, and he would probably flash back to that point after everything was over and don’t tell me he wouldn’t be smiling.
