Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I've considered re-editing Temple of Doom but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Man, I hope for a Superman Returns Sequel. We've already got a good plot line established and I wanna see how things turn out with the whole love triangle and *spoiler wisper* Upermansay onsay.

For as bad as people are bad mouthing this movie, 75% of the critic reviews have been good. You have to remember that this movie is battling 5 fronts:
1) Bring back to life a dead franchise
2) Remove the stink of the last suck-tacular films that were splashed all over the good name of Superman
3) Bring back the fans of the old movies
4) Bring in new fans to the Superman story (I fall under this one)
5) And to top it all off, this movie is not "Superman Begins." They had to start in the middle of an already developed story and take it from there. Unlike Batman, some doors and options were no longer open to suggestion. Superman had to work with what he was given in Superman II.

And I think it was wonderful. When my cousins come to visit, I might see it a 3rd time. I love it that much.

I'm working on my niece's education by letting her watch I and II, then I hope to take her to Returns. I think she's more excited about Pirates 2 though. *sigh*

I wish my own son was old enough but he isn't. But I'm having a hard enough time trying to convince my wife that he's ready to see The Wizard of Oz. I really look forward to the day that he and I take trips to the theatre to see more than animated fluff. Seeing Star Wars and Superman in their initial theatrical runs with my family is a fond memory and I hope my own son enjoys the movies as much. In this day of commercials, cell phones and rude audiences, I wonder if he'll even care.
