What a nerd!

Just came back from watching Superman Returns. What a fun movie! I don't know too much about the Superman story from the comics, so I can't say too much about that. But coming in almost completely clueless about Superman lore, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I guess I can understand why X-men 3 was such a big hit for those who aren't dorky enough to delve themselves in the X-men comic book universe.

Anyway, I really liked how it paid tribute to the classic Superman movies from the Reeves days. I smiled when I saw the cheesy fonts for the opening credits, and Clark Kent is a total dweeb. Lots of fun moments. I did think that Lois was a bit irritating a lot of the time, but I didn't know if she's supposed to be like that or if that was just Bosworth's acting; however, it wasn't hard to get past that, and she was, for the most part, likeable. The rest of the characters were spot on from what I could tell (Spacey is too awesome as Lex Luthor).

I sort of dragged Joe into watching it with me because I didn't want to watch it opening night by myself. I mainly wanted to see it so soon because Oli is in Indonesia and I want to rub it in his face that I got to see it opening night and he didn't...as he's done to me countless times before.

Also, I hate the movie audience these days. The whole clapping and cheering thing when something cool happens is way too annoying. One real treat was seeing the new Spider-man 3 teaser on the big screen, but I didn't need everyone clapping at the end of it. "Lameness" is the word that comes to mind.

I've been doing a lot of outdoorsy type things the past week, and I have lots of pictures to prove it. I just haven't had time or been in a place that has proper programs to let me edit the photos so I could upload them. I'll let you know when I get them up finally; I hope to upload them by the end of this week. I'll probably end up doing the Flickr thing, so I'll tell the stories of those trips through the pictures and captions instead of writing a blog about them. That would be more fun, I think.
