00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.839
Everyone? Welcome to the Part Time Nerd Podcast with your
3
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:05.879
pals out in a rapidave.
4
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.719
I'm Allen marty Man. How you doing.
5
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:08.599
I'm doing good.
6
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.960
How you doing? Brother? Wow? Just another beautiful day here
7
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.640
in the neighborhood.
8
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.279
There we go, there we go, and we're back with
9
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.039
another Superman movie. This one's the two thousand and six
10
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.760
Superman Returns. And this one had, I mean, just a
11
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.679
laundry list of people in it, right.
12
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.359
Yeah, the cast was pretty good, but you know I
13
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.879
had it right here. You got Brandon Ruth, Kate Bosworth,
14
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.719
Kevin Spacey, James Marsden, Parky Poser or Posey Poe Poser,
15
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.320
Sam Huntington. There was a couple I saw in a
16
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.320
cow pen, and there was somebody else. ID knows, like, Hey,
17
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.479
I know you, but you know I didn't. I didn't
18
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:44.719
write it down. I was like, okay, I just let
19
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.200
it go. Okay.
20
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.280
And this movie works as a sequel to the og
21
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.920
Superman movies. So this is a sequel to the Christopher
22
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.000
Reeve movies. It takes place somewhere between five to ten
23
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:07.840
years after the events of Superman four. There's no definitive timeline.
24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.040
The only thing you know was when this movie starts,
25
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.400
Superman's been gone for five years, is the only thing
26
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.319
that you know, Some astronomers had found like pieces of Krypton,
27
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:21.560
and so he went, he went to go check it out.
28
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.040
It's like, what's going on?
29
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.280
Shows back up five years later and uh.
30
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.239
I mean things have changed except there things have changed.
31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:43.200
Uh, not to mention technology has advanced drastically, right, flat
32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.200
screen TVs and all that cell phones. I mean, it's insane,
33
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.560
you know how far technology has advanced since you know,
34
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:52.879
five to ten years.
35
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:53.840
But hey, you know.
36
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:58.840
What it is, what it is. I thought this movie
37
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.319
was just a little slow.
38
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.000
Oh it's incredibly slow, incredibly long, and incredibly just sucks.
39
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.199
The critics love it, but I am just not having it.
40
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.360
I'll give you that breakdown real quick. While Lex Luthor
41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.280
plots to destroy him once and for all, the man
42
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.759
who still returns after a long absence to much to
43
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.800
a much changed world. Lois Lane has moved on with
44
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.280
her life and society has learned to survive without him.
45
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.199
Superman might must find a way to reconnect with her
46
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.039
and find his place in a world that may no
47
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.520
longer need him. Yeah, No, she's got a kid too,
48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.199
so he's trying to step in and you know, fill
49
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:31.639
that role.
50
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.400
He's like, hey, what's going on? And you got James Marsden,
51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.840
who is I mean you just look at just about
52
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.400
ninety percent of the movies that he's cast in he's
53
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.000
a cuck and majority of them.
54
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:44.360
Right, he's the nice guy.
55
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.199
He's a great guy.
56
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.080
Right, he's a nice guy.
57
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.639
Whatever girl he's with he gets, she leaves him for
58
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.639
someone else, I mean in every single movie, and she
59
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.360
doesn't really leave him in this one.
60
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.120
But yeah, it's coming.
61
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.120
Right, if there's a Superman Returns Part two, they would
62
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.759
no longer be together. Let's just put it that way, right.
63
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.840
Yeah, yeah, it sucks for him, but you know, yeah,
64
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.560
you're you're not wrong. Let's just say that.
65
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.439
I mean, it's crazy because he's literally he's always cast
66
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.759
as this great guy, right, and you know, everything's awesome,
67
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.919
and then some other dude shows up and then he's
68
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.960
just kind of cast to the side.
69
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.039
Yeah, and he did nothing.
70
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.400
Didn't do anything wrong, Yeah, nothing but good things.
71
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.080
I will say this, This movie's two hours and thirty
72
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.879
four minutes long two thousand and six is right to PG. Thirteen.
73
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.919
But yeah, it was a long two and a half hours.
74
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.400
I looked down a couple of times to kind of
75
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.759
see what the time was. I was like, man, it's
76
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.599
like it's almost noon. I mean, what the hell's going on.
77
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.919
It's like I started this movie yesterday and it's a
78
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.719
long burn. And I don't like Kevin Spacey much these
79
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.879
days anyways, So just seeing him on scow, you know whatever.
80
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.840
It wasn't for the fact that he was such a
81
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.360
horrible person, right, Like, so if you factor out the
82
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.840
fact that that you know, he's a horrible person, right,
83
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.800
But like in two thousand and six, when you watch this,
84
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.080
you were just like, man, this guy's great, right because
85
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.000
we didn't know then, right.
86
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.399
I did like his return, like no, wait was this
87
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.519
before after? This is definitely after or before uh that
88
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.759
other like Wall Street collapse movie when the bubble pops
89
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.600
and the mart uh mortgage thing. He was, He's in
90
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.160
that movie and I watch him like I'm sittre looking
91
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.279
him and you know, I'm glad you lost your job
92
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.240
a piece of shit, like you didn't lose his job.
93
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.319
Yeah it's a yeah, but yeah, no, I mean that
94
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.040
was one of the things that I wrote down here,
95
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.360
is like we're robbed of like a great actor because
96
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.680
he's just such a piece of shit, Like yeah, and
97
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.079
it's kind of it is a little bit hard to
98
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.279
kind of go back and watch him and enjoy his
99
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.600
performance because you're just like, this guy's a douche. They're
100
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.759
just like, Eh, this guy's awful. But put that aside,
101
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.800
he's kind of, you know, he was a good actor,
102
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.360
you know.
103
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.120
Before we found out came out summer time. Okay, so
104
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.240
this is supposed to be like a blockbuster movie, right,
105
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.839
two hundred four million dollar budget, and what did you do?
106
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.279
I don't. I just said that much. Google's lost its touch.
107
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.959
I'll tell you that you normally have that usually right there. Okay,
108
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.519
So Superman returns two thousand and six cross three hundred
109
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.000
and ninety one million dollars worldwide, including two hundred million
110
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.639
domestically and one hundred ninety one internationally. There you go.
111
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.120
So it made a couple of bucks.
112
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:36.079
Yeah, I thought you had Superman going around being sad
113
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.600
all the time. Joining you're missing is you know, the
114
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.839
black makeup in a black suit and then he's emo Superman.
115
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.720
I thought it's funny he's been gone for X number
116
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.040
of years at least he's been gone for five years, right, Yeah,
117
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.759
he's back for five minutes and all of a sudden,
118
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.000
Lois's life is in danger.
119
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.720
Yeah, get that, chick. I mean, how many times was
120
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.040
she in angel before? And somehow we got out of it? Yeah?
121
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.279
That plane the they we're trying to launch a rocket
122
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.639
into space off of a plane.
123
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.639
Filled with a bunch of press members. Yeah, yeah, how
124
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:13.759
is that a good idea?
125
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.040
I don't know. I'm not I'm not I'm not.
126
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.800
Picking up did really well in ninety nine.
127
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.279
Let's just see if we can put a rocket to it.
128
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.759
Or was it ninety eight, whatever freaking year was, whatever
129
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.279
it came out.
130
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.439
But yeah, now Lex is out of jail. He gets
131
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.480
out because they appealed and Superman was a witness and
132
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.959
of course he's gone, so he can't come to, you know,
133
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.639
testifying in the appeal, so they just let him out,
134
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.839
which I I think that's a little bit of flawed
135
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.360
logic there, but whatever, Okay, we'll go with it. You know. Stupid,
136
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.399
he looks up, he becomes like a He finds a
137
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.040
sugar mama when he gets out, who kind of helped
138
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.399
him get out, and you know, now he's got all
139
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.759
her riches is in her yacht, you know, because he's
140
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:02.959
got to go to the first thing he does, go
141
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.600
to Fortress of Solitude with supermanus back. The first thing
142
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.920
he starts doing is stalking Lois. You know, Uh, there's
143
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.240
a lot of creepy creepiness going on in here. Uh
144
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.800
with with all the stalking that's going on by Superman.
145
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.120
Then you've got you know, Lois who's mother of the Year, right,
146
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.959
and she's going she goes to the yacht that lex
147
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.839
Is on and takes her kid with her, Like, yeah, yeah,
148
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.000
how is that a good idea?
149
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.480
Well, you know, you want to go for a ride
150
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.839
on a boat? Will never be here again?
151
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.399
You know, why not.
152
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.480
I'm not gonna sit on this this this this podcast
153
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.920
in bash single Mothers. It's just not gonna happen, sir.
154
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.399
Oh no, I'm talking about Lois as mother.
155
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.000
Okay, she's horrible.
156
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.439
Let's just put it that way, not to mention you
157
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.639
find out spoiler alert, that's Superman's kid.
158
00:07:58.800 --> 00:07:59.120
Okay.
159
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.319
So again, poor James Marsden gets suckered in thinking this
160
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.399
is his kid and raising him all the while she knows,
161
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.360
she knows, like so.
162
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.399
A paternity test that birth should be mandatory. I don't
163
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:17.279
care if you're married or not.
164
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.240
And Lex's whole plane is he's got these crystals he
165
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.839
got from the Fortress Solitude, and he's going to use
166
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.079
them to throw in water, uh, to create new land, right,
167
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
and he's going to use that and sell it, have
168
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.840
his own little land. He finds some kryptonite to infuse
169
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.480
the island that he creates with kryptonite. Uh, so that way,
170
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.519
you know, we can take care of Superman. You know,
171
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.879
he's selling to birds with one stone. He gets his
172
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.360
own little island, and he can get rid of Superman.
173
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.240
Side that island, the landed that helicopter on it, hell
174
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.320
like really had room for the helicopter at high tide.
175
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.840
That thing's gone on. That thing's got down.
176
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.360
That was that was the test island, right, had like
177
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.080
seven crystals left. And then Lex always managed to you know,
178
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.720
he shacked up a kitty in this one.
179
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Yeah, you know. And and as always, but I'm just
180
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.200
saying he's you know, I'm not she's not better than
181
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.080
miss missu what's her names, Miker, test maker, test Maker,
182
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:17.039
But she's okay.
183
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.919
I like her, a nice lady, you know, and as always,
184
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.120
whatever girl, he shacked up with always starts to have
185
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.240
regrets and doubts right and sabotages him in this case,
186
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.840
drops all the crystals right as they're trying to get off.
187
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.240
She's like, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm so sorry. He's like,
188
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:41.080
what are you doing? You know? And the other thing
189
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.960
I got on this is passwords and movies are always
190
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:53.559
the worst. Like there's no number, symbol, word combination or
191
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.279
anything like that. You know, He's He's sitting there trying
192
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.200
to guess Lewis's passwords.
193
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.600
Right man, when they had pass murder, you know what
194
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.840
I mean. He guesses his name, his kids name, and
195
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.320
Clark Center.
196
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.840
Why don't you try Superman? He's like, all right, buddy, whatever,
197
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.960
and then he types it in and it works.
198
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.879
Like bro, I just saw the clip from the Office
199
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.639
when the whole network goes down and they're trying to
200
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.320
log in and they're like, try zero zero zero one
201
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.440
or whatever, and it keeps going through and they were like,
202
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.120
I remember it was kind of funny. I chuckled it.
203
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.240
He goes, try big boobs, try big boobs, and he
204
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:24.639
types said it. She goes, you're writing it and goes,
205
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.480
I'm trying anything. He goes and he goes, didn't work
206
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:34.919
with big boobs with a Z. Yeah, I mean they didn't.
207
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.480
They just didn't. You know, your first password was stupid.
208
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.320
It was just a word or two. It wasn't very long.
209
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.639
It didn't have to be sophisticated, you know nothing. You
210
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.399
don't have to worry about it. He's losers trying to
211
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.159
get in your account.
212
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.799
Yeah.
213
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.159
No, I just got to chuckle out of that, you know.
214
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.240
Just but that's like all movies, right, In any movie,
215
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.279
the password's.
216
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.919
Always one two three four five. That's that's a password
217
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.960
to a planet. That's that's a password to a god
218
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.759
damn planet that's got a wall around it or whatever
219
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.080
you want to call it, an orb or.
220
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.799
Whatever, has a password one two three five. Change the
221
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:22.000
password on my luggage, my luggage. So Lex creates this
222
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.759
whole island infused with kryptonite. Superman lands on it. I
223
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.840
find it hard to believe that he's not feeling the
224
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:29.600
effects of it.
225
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:30.639
When he lands on it.
226
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.360
Right, or getting close to it right, like we've seen
227
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.080
this in other movies. Right. Uh, but yeah, then Lex
228
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.000
and all the boys starting, Lex and Calki start kicking
229
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.759
the crap out of him, and then kind of just
230
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.480
throw him off of the end of it. After he
231
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:53.799
stabs him with kryptonite again, rookie, rookie move like, don't
232
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:58.480
let him get away, you know, they end up saving him.
233
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.279
He flies back because he's he's got to take care
234
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.039
of everything. And somehow he's able to lift the planet
235
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.919
filled with kryptonite that has kryptonite coming out of it
236
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.039
towards him and throws it into space. But when he's
237
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.919
in space, he's in space when he throws it right
238
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.440
and then falls, That's not how space works.
239
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.519
I don't think anybody, just whoever made this movie had
240
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.759
any any sense at all, Like then he's taking care,
241
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.480
you know what I mean. And it's crazy like with
242
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.639
the reviews and how high they rig this movie. I'm like,
243
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.600
this movie sucked. I thought it was awful, Like I don't.
244
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.000
I didn't care how it started, I didn't care how
245
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.360
it progressed, and I didn't give a f And I
246
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.159
only cared because I knew it was over when I
247
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.159
saw the credits and I cheered over it was over.
248
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.120
And you know, Superman he's in critical condition after all
249
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.919
this because he falls back to Earth. And what's the
250
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.879
first thing he does when he gets healthy stock stalking
251
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.080
his kid. Right at this point, he knows it's his
252
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.679
kid because you had the moment earlier where you had
253
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.600
the guy with the Joker tattooed. You like the Joker
254
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.919
tattoo on the back of the guy's head.
255
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.879
I appreciate it. And he was like playing the piano
256
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.000
and stuff. I was like, Okay, I like this guy.
257
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.120
Yeah, this guy's got something. But yeah, he starts going
258
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.559
after Lois and the kid pushes the piano at him,
259
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.919
but he can't really call upon his powers. You know,
260
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:29.639
he's an as well. It's just yeah, raw emotion, you know.
261
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.399
But yeah, I know the Superman goes in there and
262
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.919
you know, talking to him while he's sleeping, very creepily
263
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.000
as he's creeping on Lewis, and just he put off
264
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.559
very stalker vibes in this movie.
265
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.039
I've seen this move before. It was called Red Dragon.
266
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.120
If I'm not mistaken. He just left out some other parts,
267
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.960
but it's pretty close. It's pretty close.
268
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.519
I mean, next thing, you know, he's gonna be fixing
269
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.080
a Lois at dinner and he's gonna have a rabbit
270
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.559
in the soup.
271
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.720
You know, I can't handle these stupid.
272
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.200
Oh the cgi. Wasn't that great, like bordered on catwoman
273
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.639
bad at times when he's flying.
274
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.840
I wouldn't say that bad. It was pretty bad, but
275
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.480
it was, Yeah, it wasn't great.
276
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.720
It was very obvious. It was very obvious when it
277
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:26.399
would go from him to computer generated him, Like there
278
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.960
was definitely you know when we're limited buyer technology. But
279
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:36.759
I feel like the original Superman movies did a better job, right, Yeah.
280
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.480
Well they always talk about that, how they like go
281
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.960
a little bit further back and it was like, you know,
282
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.679
like was it Pirates of the Caribbean like Davy Jones.
283
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.279
They're like, we had this technology, but no one seems
284
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.480
to know how to use it anymore.
285
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.360
It's like, but I mean all in all, like it's
286
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.679
not it's better than Superman four.
287
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.879
Okay, I mean no, I would.
288
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.080
Say better than Superman three.
289
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.480
At this point, I thank Let me tell you what
290
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.279
the scores were. How about that these people have lost
291
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.320
their minds IMDb six point one out of ten, rotten
292
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.159
Samanta seventy two percent common is that common sense? It
293
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.279
doesn't say it runs common sense media, which sounds insane
294
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.799
four out of five stars.
295
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:18.399
Uh.
296
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.480
Fifty nine percent of Google users like this movie. Common sense.
297
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.879
Media is out there on its own planet.
298
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.679
I mean, so I remember watching this in the theaters
299
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:32.159
when it came out, obviously right, and liking it. But
300
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.559
then I also remember like it not sitting right with me. Yeah,
301
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.679
after I watched it, and then you remembering Star.
302
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.440
A Superman movie.
303
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.080
I was. I was. It's just like when the prequels
304
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.840
first came out, right, you know, you're like, holy crap,
305
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.720
I get more Star Wars.
306
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.480
It's so great.
307
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.639
It's so awesome, and you watch it and you're like, man,
308
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.759
this is the greatest thing ever.
309
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.200
And you're like, I never said that, but I did.
310
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.879
I still watch them now, Like I go back and
311
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.639
watch them. This movie I'll never watch again. I watched
312
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.720
the pre handful of times a year. Yeah, I mean
313
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.080
it's weird.
314
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:03.240
You know.
315
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.759
I got a Star Wars shirt on. We're talking about
316
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.039
Star Wars. I'm just saying it's like.
317
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.120
But yeah, but then I remember like going back and watch,
318
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.120
like buying it when it came out on DVD, right,
319
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.840
and had it and watched it and was like start
320
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.720
and then it started clicking with me all like just
321
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.559
the whole stalker thing with with Superman in this right,
322
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.559
you're just like I did think Brandon Roth did a
323
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.120
good job as Superman, like very Christopher Reeve, Like you know,
324
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.720
they didn't do a lot with with him as Clark though,
325
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:37.799
like you didn't get you didn't get like that clear obvious,
326
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.559
like very clumsy and goofy when he was Clark, right
327
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.639
that that you did with the Christopher Reeve once, because
328
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.519
he spends more time being Superman in this, less time
329
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.960
being Clark Kent in this, and when he's kind of on,
330
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.279
he's usually just standing still, like you know, as opposed
331
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:02.120
to when he's Yeah, you know, but I don't know
332
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.200
it was it was okay. I'll say it was okay.
333
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.920
I don't think it was awful. I've seen much worse
334
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:14.160
movies than this. I'll continue to watch much worse movies
335
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.160
than this, and I'll probably end up watching it again.
336
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.640
You know. I go through every once in a while
337
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.839
and watch all Batman movies, all Superman.
338
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.240
Movies, all Marvel movies.
339
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.960
You know. You know, I'm just sitting here and I'm like,
340
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.839
I ain't got nothing to watch, Let's let's go through
341
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.480
these again. I will see it again, you know, and
342
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.799
I'm not going to be like, dude, I need to
343
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.440
go watch Superman Returns again. It'll be like I'm watching
344
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.359
the Superman movies. This one's next, you know, kind of
345
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.079
kind of that, right, let's see.
346
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:44.359
Here we got.
347
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.880
Superman Returns feels like a movie that really wants to
348
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.480
recapture the magic of the Christopher Reeve films, but it
349
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.400
never fully gets there. Brandon Roth does a solid job
350
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.400
as Superman, but the movie is so slow and serious
351
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.759
that it kind of drags itself down, and honestly, for
352
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.960
hu Superman movie, some of the special effects look surprisingly black,
353
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.799
especially during the big action moments. Kevin Spacey is having
354
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.480
fun as Lex Luthor, but the movie just never feels
355
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.799
exciting enough. It's not terrible, it's just kind of there,
356
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:19.920
a very okay Superman movie. So yeah, boom, there we go.
357
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.119
You got any other final thoughts? No?
358
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.920
Can I please move on with my life?
359
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.079
Yeah? Yeah, I allow it. I will allow it. But
360
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.279
what do you guys think of Superman Returns? Where does
361
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:34.920
it stack up in your Superman movies?
362
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.599
Uh?
363
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.960
Do you think Brandon Ross should have had a chance
364
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.039
to play Superman again?
365
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.400
I don't know. You tell me, because I don't know.
366
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.240
I don't know anything.
367
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.400
But hey, guys, Thank you so much for watching. It's
368
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.960

in the neighborhood.
8
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.279
There we go, there we go, and we're back with
9
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.039
another Superman movie. This one's the two thousand and six
10
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.760
Superman Returns. And this one had, I mean, just a
11
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.679
laundry list of people in it, right.
12
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.359
Yeah, the cast was pretty good, but you know I
13
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.879
had it right here. You got Brandon Ruth, Kate Bosworth,
14
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.719
Kevin Spacey, James Marsden, Parky Poser or Posey Poe Poser,
15
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.320
Sam Huntington. There was a couple I saw in a
16
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.320
cow pen, and there was somebody else. ID knows, like, Hey,
17
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.479
I know you, but you know I didn't. I didn't
18
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:44.719
write it down. I was like, okay, I just let
19
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.200
it go. Okay.
20
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.280
And this movie works as a sequel to the og
21
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.920
Superman movies. So this is a sequel to the Christopher
22
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.000
Reeve movies. It takes place somewhere between five to ten
23
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:07.840
years after the events of Superman four. There's no definitive timeline.
24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.040
The only thing you know was when this movie starts,
25
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.400
Superman's been gone for five years, is the only thing
26
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.319
that you know, Some astronomers had found like pieces of Krypton,
27
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:21.560
and so he went, he went to go check it out.
28
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.040
It's like, what's going on?
29
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.280
Shows back up five years later and uh.
30
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.239
I mean things have changed except there things have changed.
31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:43.200
Uh, not to mention technology has advanced drastically, right, flat
32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.200
screen TVs and all that cell phones. I mean, it's insane,
33
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.560
you know how far technology has advanced since you know,
34
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:52.879
five to ten years.
35
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:53.840
But hey, you know.
36
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:58.840
What it is, what it is. I thought this movie
37
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.319
was just a little slow.
38
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.000
Oh it's incredibly slow, incredibly long, and incredibly just sucks.
39
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.199
The critics love it, but I am just not having it.
40
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.360
I'll give you that breakdown real quick. While Lex Luthor
41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.280
plots to destroy him once and for all, the man
42
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.759
who still returns after a long absence to much to
43
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.800
a much changed world. Lois Lane has moved on with
44
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.280
her life and society has learned to survive without him.
45
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.199
Superman might must find a way to reconnect with her
46
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.039
and find his place in a world that may no
47
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.520
longer need him. Yeah, No, she's got a kid too,
48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.199
so he's trying to step in and you know, fill
49
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:31.639
that role.
50
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.400
He's like, hey, what's going on? And you got James Marsden,
51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.840
who is I mean you just look at just about
52
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.400
ninety percent of the movies that he's cast in he's
53
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.000
a cuck and majority of them.
54
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:44.360
Right, he's the nice guy.
55
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.199
He's a great guy.
56
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.080
Right, he's a nice guy.
57
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.639
Whatever girl he's with he gets, she leaves him for
58
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.639
someone else, I mean in every single movie, and she
59
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.360
doesn't really leave him in this one.
60
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.120
But yeah, it's coming.
61
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.120
Right, if there's a Superman Returns Part two, they would
62
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.759
no longer be together. Let's just put it that way, right.
63
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.840
Yeah, yeah, it sucks for him, but you know, yeah,
64
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.560
you're you're not wrong. Let's just say that.
65
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.439
I mean, it's crazy because he's literally he's always cast
66
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.759
as this great guy, right, and you know, everything's awesome,
67
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.919
and then some other dude shows up and then he's
68
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.960
just kind of cast to the side.
69
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.039
Yeah, and he did nothing.
70
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.400
Didn't do anything wrong, Yeah, nothing but good things.
71
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.080
I will say this, This movie's two hours and thirty
72
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.879
four minutes long two thousand and six is right to PG. Thirteen.
73
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.919
But yeah, it was a long two and a half hours.
74
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.400
I looked down a couple of times to kind of
75
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.759
see what the time was. I was like, man, it's
76
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.599
like it's almost noon. I mean, what the hell's going on.
77
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.919
It's like I started this movie yesterday and it's a
78
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.719
long burn. And I don't like Kevin Spacey much these
79
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.879
days anyways, So just seeing him on scow, you know whatever.
80
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.840
It wasn't for the fact that he was such a
81
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.360
horrible person, right, Like, so if you factor out the
82
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.840
fact that that you know, he's a horrible person, right,
83
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.800
But like in two thousand and six, when you watch this,
84
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.080
you were just like, man, this guy's great, right because
85
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.000
we didn't know then, right.
86
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.399
I did like his return, like no, wait was this
87
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.519
before after? This is definitely after or before uh that
88
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.759
other like Wall Street collapse movie when the bubble pops
89
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.600
and the mart uh mortgage thing. He was, He's in
90
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.160
that movie and I watch him like I'm sittre looking
91
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.279
him and you know, I'm glad you lost your job
92
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.240
a piece of shit, like you didn't lose his job.
93
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.319
Yeah it's a yeah, but yeah, no, I mean that
94
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.040
was one of the things that I wrote down here,
95
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.360
is like we're robbed of like a great actor because
96
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.680
he's just such a piece of shit, Like yeah, and
97
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.079
it's kind of it is a little bit hard to
98
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.279
kind of go back and watch him and enjoy his
99
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.600
performance because you're just like, this guy's a douche. They're
100
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.759
just like, Eh, this guy's awful. But put that aside,
101
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.800
he's kind of, you know, he was a good actor,
102
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.360
you know.
103
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.120
Before we found out came out summer time. Okay, so
104
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.240
this is supposed to be like a blockbuster movie, right,
105
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.839
two hundred four million dollar budget, and what did you do?
106
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.279
I don't. I just said that much. Google's lost its touch.
107
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.959
I'll tell you that you normally have that usually right there. Okay,
108
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.519
So Superman returns two thousand and six cross three hundred
109
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.000
and ninety one million dollars worldwide, including two hundred million
110
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.639
domestically and one hundred ninety one internationally. There you go.
111
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.120
So it made a couple of bucks.
112
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:36.079
Yeah, I thought you had Superman going around being sad
113
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.600
all the time. Joining you're missing is you know, the
114
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.839
black makeup in a black suit and then he's emo Superman.
115
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.720
I thought it's funny he's been gone for X number
116
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.040
of years at least he's been gone for five years, right, Yeah,
117
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.759
he's back for five minutes and all of a sudden,
118
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.000
Lois's life is in danger.
119
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.720
Yeah, get that, chick. I mean, how many times was
120
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.040
she in angel before? And somehow we got out of it? Yeah?
121
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.279
That plane the they we're trying to launch a rocket
122
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.639
into space off of a plane.
123
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.639
Filled with a bunch of press members. Yeah, yeah, how
124
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:13.759
is that a good idea?
125
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.040
I don't know. I'm not I'm not I'm not.
126
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.800
Picking up did really well in ninety nine.
127
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.279
Let's just see if we can put a rocket to it.
128
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.759
Or was it ninety eight, whatever freaking year was, whatever
129
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.279
it came out.
130
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.439
But yeah, now Lex is out of jail. He gets
131
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.480
out because they appealed and Superman was a witness and
132
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.959
of course he's gone, so he can't come to, you know,
133
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.639
testifying in the appeal, so they just let him out,
134
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.839
which I I think that's a little bit of flawed
135
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:50.360
logic there, but whatever, Okay, we'll go with it. You know. Stupid,
136
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.399
he looks up, he becomes like a He finds a
137
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.040
sugar mama when he gets out, who kind of helped
138
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.399
him get out, and you know, now he's got all
139
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.759
her riches is in her yacht, you know, because he's
140
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:02.959
got to go to the first thing he does, go
141
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.600
to Fortress of Solitude with supermanus back. The first thing
142
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.920
he starts doing is stalking Lois. You know, Uh, there's
143
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.240
a lot of creepy creepiness going on in here. Uh
144
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.800
with with all the stalking that's going on by Superman.
145
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.120
Then you've got you know, Lois who's mother of the Year, right,
146
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.959
and she's going she goes to the yacht that lex
147
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.839
Is on and takes her kid with her, Like, yeah, yeah,
148
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.000
how is that a good idea?
149
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.480
Well, you know, you want to go for a ride
150
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.839
on a boat? Will never be here again?
151
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.399
You know, why not.
152
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.480
I'm not gonna sit on this this this this podcast
153
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.920
in bash single Mothers. It's just not gonna happen, sir.
154
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.399
Oh no, I'm talking about Lois as mother.
155
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.000
Okay, she's horrible.
156
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.439
Let's just put it that way, not to mention you
157
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.639
find out spoiler alert, that's Superman's kid.
158
00:07:58.800 --> 00:07:59.120
Okay.
159
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.319
So again, poor James Marsden gets suckered in thinking this
160
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.399
is his kid and raising him all the while she knows,
161
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.360
she knows, like so.
162
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.399
A paternity test that birth should be mandatory. I don't
163
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:17.279
care if you're married or not.
164
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.240
And Lex's whole plane is he's got these crystals he
165
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.839
got from the Fortress Solitude, and he's going to use
166
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.079
them to throw in water, uh, to create new land, right,
167
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
and he's going to use that and sell it, have
168
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.840
his own little land. He finds some kryptonite to infuse
169
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.480
the island that he creates with kryptonite. Uh, so that way,
170
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.519
you know, we can take care of Superman. You know,
171
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.879
he's selling to birds with one stone. He gets his
172
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.360
own little island, and he can get rid of Superman.
173
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.240
Side that island, the landed that helicopter on it, hell
174
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.320
like really had room for the helicopter at high tide.
175
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.840
That thing's gone on. That thing's got down.
176
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.360
That was that was the test island, right, had like
177
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.080
seven crystals left. And then Lex always managed to you know,
178
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.720
he shacked up a kitty in this one.
179
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Yeah, you know. And and as always, but I'm just
180
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.200
saying he's you know, I'm not she's not better than
181
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.080
miss missu what's her names, Miker, test maker, test Maker,
182
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:17.039
But she's okay.
183
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.919
I like her, a nice lady, you know, and as always,
184
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.120
whatever girl, he shacked up with always starts to have
185
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.240
regrets and doubts right and sabotages him in this case,
186
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.840
drops all the crystals right as they're trying to get off.
187
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.240
She's like, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm so sorry. He's like,
188
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:41.080
what are you doing? You know? And the other thing
189
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.960
I got on this is passwords and movies are always
190
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:53.559
the worst. Like there's no number, symbol, word combination or
191
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.279
anything like that. You know, He's He's sitting there trying
192
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.200
to guess Lewis's passwords.
193
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.600
Right man, when they had pass murder, you know what
194
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.840
I mean. He guesses his name, his kids name, and
195
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.320
Clark Center.
196
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.840
Why don't you try Superman? He's like, all right, buddy, whatever,
197
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.960
and then he types it in and it works.
198
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.879
Like bro, I just saw the clip from the Office
199
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.639
when the whole network goes down and they're trying to
200
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.320
log in and they're like, try zero zero zero one
201
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.440
or whatever, and it keeps going through and they were like,
202
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.120
I remember it was kind of funny. I chuckled it.
203
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.240
He goes, try big boobs, try big boobs, and he
204
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:24.639
types said it. She goes, you're writing it and goes,
205
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.480
I'm trying anything. He goes and he goes, didn't work
206
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:34.919
with big boobs with a Z. Yeah, I mean they didn't.
207
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.480
They just didn't. You know, your first password was stupid.
208
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.320
It was just a word or two. It wasn't very long.
209
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.639
It didn't have to be sophisticated, you know nothing. You
210
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.399
don't have to worry about it. He's losers trying to
211
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.159
get in your account.
212
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.799
Yeah.
213
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.159
No, I just got to chuckle out of that, you know.
214
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.240
Just but that's like all movies, right, In any movie,
215
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.279
the password's.
216
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.919
Always one two three four five. That's that's a password
217
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.960
to a planet. That's that's a password to a god
218
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.759
damn planet that's got a wall around it or whatever
219
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.080
you want to call it, an orb or.
220
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.799
Whatever, has a password one two three five. Change the
221
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:22.000
password on my luggage, my luggage. So Lex creates this
222
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.759
whole island infused with kryptonite. Superman lands on it. I
223
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.840
find it hard to believe that he's not feeling the
224
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:29.600
effects of it.
225
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:30.639
When he lands on it.
226
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.360
Right, or getting close to it right, like we've seen
227
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.080
this in other movies. Right. Uh, but yeah, then Lex
228
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.000
and all the boys starting, Lex and Calki start kicking
229
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.759
the crap out of him, and then kind of just
230
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.480
throw him off of the end of it. After he
231
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:53.799
stabs him with kryptonite again, rookie, rookie move like, don't
232
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:58.480
let him get away, you know, they end up saving him.
233
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.279
He flies back because he's he's got to take care
234
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.039
of everything. And somehow he's able to lift the planet
235
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.919
filled with kryptonite that has kryptonite coming out of it
236
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.039
towards him and throws it into space. But when he's
237
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.919
in space, he's in space when he throws it right
238
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.440
and then falls, That's not how space works.
239
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.519
I don't think anybody, just whoever made this movie had
240
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.759
any any sense at all, Like then he's taking care,
241
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.480
you know what I mean. And it's crazy like with
242
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.639
the reviews and how high they rig this movie. I'm like,
243
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.600
this movie sucked. I thought it was awful, Like I don't.
244
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.000
I didn't care how it started, I didn't care how
245
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.360
it progressed, and I didn't give a f And I
246
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.159
only cared because I knew it was over when I
247
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.159
saw the credits and I cheered over it was over.
248
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.120
And you know, Superman he's in critical condition after all
249
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.919
this because he falls back to Earth. And what's the
250
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.879
first thing he does when he gets healthy stock stalking
251
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.080
his kid. Right at this point, he knows it's his
252
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.679
kid because you had the moment earlier where you had
253
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.600
the guy with the Joker tattooed. You like the Joker
254
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.919
tattoo on the back of the guy's head.
255
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.879
I appreciate it. And he was like playing the piano
256
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.000
and stuff. I was like, Okay, I like this guy.
257
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.120
Yeah, this guy's got something. But yeah, he starts going
258
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.559
after Lois and the kid pushes the piano at him,
259
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.919
but he can't really call upon his powers. You know,
260
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:29.639
he's an as well. It's just yeah, raw emotion, you know.
261
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.399
But yeah, I know the Superman goes in there and
262
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.919
you know, talking to him while he's sleeping, very creepily
263
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.000
as he's creeping on Lewis, and just he put off
264
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.559
very stalker vibes in this movie.
265
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.039
I've seen this move before. It was called Red Dragon.
266
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.120
If I'm not mistaken. He just left out some other parts,
267
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.960
but it's pretty close. It's pretty close.
268
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.519
I mean, next thing, you know, he's gonna be fixing
269
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.080
a Lois at dinner and he's gonna have a rabbit
270
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.559
in the soup.
271
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.720
You know, I can't handle these stupid.
272
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.200
Oh the cgi. Wasn't that great, like bordered on catwoman
273
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.639
bad at times when he's flying.
274
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.840
I wouldn't say that bad. It was pretty bad, but
275
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.480
it was, Yeah, it wasn't great.
276
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.720
It was very obvious. It was very obvious when it
277
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:26.399
would go from him to computer generated him, Like there
278
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.960
was definitely you know when we're limited buyer technology. But
279
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:36.759
I feel like the original Superman movies did a better job, right, Yeah.
280
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.480
Well they always talk about that, how they like go
281
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.960
a little bit further back and it was like, you know,
282
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.679
like was it Pirates of the Caribbean like Davy Jones.
283
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.279
They're like, we had this technology, but no one seems
284
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.480
to know how to use it anymore.
285
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.360
It's like, but I mean all in all, like it's
286
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.679
not it's better than Superman four.
287
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.879
Okay, I mean no, I would.
288
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.080
Say better than Superman three.
289
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.480
At this point, I thank Let me tell you what
290
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.279
the scores were. How about that these people have lost
291
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.320
their minds IMDb six point one out of ten, rotten
292
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.159
Samanta seventy two percent common is that common sense? It
293
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.279
doesn't say it runs common sense media, which sounds insane
294
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.799
four out of five stars.
295
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:18.399
Uh.
296
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.480
Fifty nine percent of Google users like this movie. Common sense.
297
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.879
Media is out there on its own planet.
298
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.679
I mean, so I remember watching this in the theaters
299
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:32.159
when it came out, obviously right, and liking it. But
300
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.559
then I also remember like it not sitting right with me. Yeah,
301
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.679
after I watched it, and then you remembering Star.
302
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.440
A Superman movie.
303
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.080
I was. I was. It's just like when the prequels
304
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.840
first came out, right, you know, you're like, holy crap,
305
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.720
I get more Star Wars.
306
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.480
It's so great.
307
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.639
It's so awesome, and you watch it and you're like, man,
308
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.759
this is the greatest thing ever.
309
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.200
And you're like, I never said that, but I did.
310
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.879
I still watch them now, Like I go back and
311
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.639
watch them. This movie I'll never watch again. I watched
312
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.720
the pre handful of times a year. Yeah, I mean
313
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.080
it's weird.
314
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:03.240
You know.
315
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.759
I got a Star Wars shirt on. We're talking about
316
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.039
Star Wars. I'm just saying it's like.
317
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.120
But yeah, but then I remember like going back and watch,
318
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.120
like buying it when it came out on DVD, right,
319
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.840
and had it and watched it and was like start
320
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.720
and then it started clicking with me all like just
321
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.559
the whole stalker thing with with Superman in this right,
322
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.559
you're just like I did think Brandon Roth did a
323
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.120
good job as Superman, like very Christopher Reeve, Like you know,
324
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.720
they didn't do a lot with with him as Clark though,
325
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:37.799
like you didn't get you didn't get like that clear obvious,
326
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.559
like very clumsy and goofy when he was Clark, right
327
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.639
that that you did with the Christopher Reeve once, because
328
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.519
he spends more time being Superman in this, less time
329
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.960
being Clark Kent in this, and when he's kind of on,
330
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.279
he's usually just standing still, like you know, as opposed
331
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:02.120
to when he's Yeah, you know, but I don't know
332
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.200
it was it was okay. I'll say it was okay.
333
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.920
I don't think it was awful. I've seen much worse
334
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:14.160
movies than this. I'll continue to watch much worse movies
335
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.160
than this, and I'll probably end up watching it again.
336
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.640
You know. I go through every once in a while
337
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.839
and watch all Batman movies, all Superman.
338
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.240
Movies, all Marvel movies.
339
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.960
You know. You know, I'm just sitting here and I'm like,
340
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.839
I ain't got nothing to watch, Let's let's go through
341
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.480
these again. I will see it again, you know, and
342
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.799
I'm not going to be like, dude, I need to
343
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.440
go watch Superman Returns again. It'll be like I'm watching
344
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.359
the Superman movies. This one's next, you know, kind of
345
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.079
kind of that, right, let's see.
346
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:44.359
Here we got.
347
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.880
Superman Returns feels like a movie that really wants to
348
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.480
recapture the magic of the Christopher Reeve films, but it
349
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.400
never fully gets there. Brandon Roth does a solid job
350
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.400
as Superman, but the movie is so slow and serious
351
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.759
that it kind of drags itself down, and honestly, for
352
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.960
hu Superman movie, some of the special effects look surprisingly black,
353
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.799
especially during the big action moments. Kevin Spacey is having
354
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.480
fun as Lex Luthor, but the movie just never feels
355
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.799
exciting enough. It's not terrible, it's just kind of there,
356
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:19.920
a very okay Superman movie. So yeah, boom, there we go.
357
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.119
You got any other final thoughts? No?
358
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.920
Can I please move on with my life?
359
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.079
Yeah? Yeah, I allow it. I will allow it. But
360
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.279
what do you guys think of Superman Returns? Where does
361
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:34.920
it stack up in your Superman movies?
362
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.599
Uh?
363
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.960
Do you think Brandon Ross should have had a chance
364
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.039
to play Superman again?
365
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.400
I don't know. You tell me, because I don't know.
366
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.240
I don't know anything.
367
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.400
But hey, guys, Thank you so much for watching. It's
368
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.960
always I'm Alan. I'll talk to you later.
369
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:49.839
Deuces
