SQUEEEE!!


*jumping up and down with anticipation*


I couldn't tell you just why I'm suddenly so thrilled by this. Over the last few days, since I saw the new trailer at the theatre, I've been on pins and needles. I watched the original the other night, and a copy of the second film is on its way from Netflix.

Really, it was the first trailer that did it for me. I saw it in April, I think, and hearing the music from the original film in it almost made me shriek with delight! (Seriously, I had to cover my mouth.) Honestly, it's all so... Remember seeing the first trailer for LOTR, and realizing that they'd got it right? This is like that for me. After that Nicolas Cage nonsense, I'd totally given up hope that this might not suck.

But thank the gods for Bryan Singer, who is no slouch! Like PJ, he realized No, you can't fuck with this. There can be no sly winks, no campy derision, no nihilist deconstruction. Not with this guy. It's all or nothing. He's either the Man of Steel, superhuman demigod from a distant galaxy, paragon of Honesty and Strength and Just Plain Fairness, or forget it. (Now, Lex Luthor, on the other hand...)

So am I delighted? Yes. Am I impatient? Yes. Am I squealing? Like a stuck pig.


Yes, I am.


P.S. I'd kill for that poster. Well, maybe not kill. But I'd definintely set fire to some great public building.

I really can't wait to see this film. Isn't it it great how Superman keeps appealing to people, over and over again? They made the Christopher Reeve films in the 70s and 80s, and there was the tv series in the 90s, and now there's this new film, and people just don't get tired of it. It's wonderful!!

And yes, Bryan Singer! And Kevin Spacey! You really can't go wrong there... ;)
