And the entertainment stretches on...
...but does anyone care?
Personally, I'm glad to see the Democratic primary season stretch on a little further. It allows them to tear one another apart before the general election in November. I'd prefer Hillary as the Democratic candidate, primarily because I think she's unelectable. Oh well, we'll see what happens as time rolls on. On to today's comic book movie:
#4--Superman (1978)
Another instance in which special effects had finally advanced to the point that a particular subject could finally be treated in a live-action film. Iconic performances from Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Marlon Brando as Jor-El, and Christopher Reeve as Big Blue himself propel this into the top 5. The writing in this movie is so tight that Brandon Routh stole several lines and mannerisms directly from 1978 for Superman Returns in 2006. Clark Kent's race with the train and Superman's turning time backward make this worthy of inclusion on anyone's list.
Memorable Quote:
Jor-El: [at the Fortress of Solitude] So, my son. Speak.
Young Clark Kent: Who am I?
Jor-El: Your name is Kal-El. You are the only survivor of the planet Krypton. Even though you've been raised as a human, you are not one of them. You have great powers, only some of which you have as yet discovered.
