If you're anything like me you could just listen to that theme with Martha Stewart or some crap on in front of you and *still* be moved. Its a theme, like Williams' OT Star Wars themes, that creates a nostalgic and emotional response.
Just curious, not picking on anyone- we like what we like.

You're absolutely right. I could be watching Bushie's State of the Union address and, so long as the Superman theme was playing in the background, I would never turn it off.
There's something about the new movie I don't quite understand... apparently, the new Superman, while not necessarily going back to the beginning, is supposed to, according to one source, "pick up after the original two movies." Did this guy screw up and forget that there were four original movies or is this one negating their existence entirely? No Richard Pryor?
