So I went to movieicons @ LJ for Pirates icons and snagged the one up here (wanting to bring in a little humour).
This one was hard to resist though:
I also saw Superman this friday. I was expecting to probably like the action, not the movie itself (the trailer made me laugh it was so horrendously cliche). I really very much enjoyed it though! I'm quite into comic movies, and I love Batman, Spiderman and X-Men (which are all comics I've been into to some degree). I've never seen or read any Superman (no comics, no movies, no Smallville, no Lois and Clark), but the story is well known to me (even with it never drawing me in, you usually get the gist of it when in comicland and movieverse). The movie sure had cliches, but it was all handled really well and with a wink, while the story itself had lots of drama to entertain an angstchick like myself.
The scene with the airplane was thrilling (and the ending in the stadium hilariously tacky). Best scene in the movie, actionwise.
I actually like that Superman, unlike the aforementioned heroes, isn't shunned by society or maligned by the press, but instead really is considered to be everyone's hero! What a novel concept! :)
It didn't hurt looking at this guy either:
(Would you have guessed this really was a post practicing adding pics in a post?)
