As promised in yesterday's entry, in honor of the premiere of Superman Returns, an all-Superman addendum to yesterday's comic section...
So where to start...? The Blue Tights Network seems (to me) to be the same sort of "grass-roots" (in the sense that it's totally not), fan-based marketing device -- similar to the Browncoats for Serenity, last fall. Not that this is a bad model to imitate... But it does seem an imitation (from what I've seen).
Then (in case you've been under a rock) there's the various trailers for the movie, courtesy of the fine folks at Quicktime.
A wonderful cross-section of reviews (though if ever a movie was in the "review-proof" category...) as always at Rotten Tomatoes. (73% positive when I was there.)
And then lest you think I'm only talking about the movie, I felt I should share this article, courtesy of SQ, which was amusing. But not as amusing as this site, which questions (through use of old comic covers) exactly whether Superman's nice reputation is deserved...
So enjoy. Chuckle. Go see the movie (I'm sure it will need support, what with it being a small indie, with no marketing...)
And I'll be back at some point to talk about something else...

Hi - how's the new job going? I'm guessing well, because I have chekced in here at least 7 times and there's never a new post. I don't want to say that I am 'out-blogging' you, but I am. I know that blogging, like yoga, isn't supposed to be competitive, but there you have it.
BTW, I went to the cafepress site you sent me to in search of Buffy-labeled undergarments, and not only did I find some funny T-shirts, but the most awesome bumper sticker ever: My Jack Russell Is Smarter Than Your President. Along with my tank top that asks "W(hat) W(ould) B(uffy) D(o)?" , that will surely put me over the tolerance edge here at work - and then, hello lawsuit! JK - I really like it here - but I can't resist the bumper sticker. I love the pithy skewer of foibles and hypocrisy.
If in your mind "well" = "ridiculously busy" then yeah. But I wouldn't necessarily describe it as "well" otherwise. I hope to get a new post out soon.
