Not to crap on anyone's childhood, but I hated the Kidder Lois. She screamed ALL the time. I mean, when I rented the first movie my aunt turned to me and said "She's a screamer, isn't she." Oye. Lois really didn't do anything for me. And don't get me started about the "musical number" that when on when Superman takes her for a ride...
For some real obnoxious screaming heroine action, check out Kim Basinger in Batman (if you've done so already, do it again). The favorite Bat-flick of many is totally ruined for me in the second hour by a woman who screams at every possible turn. One who apparently photographed dead bodies on the front lines of war.
I was born in 1983. I didn't really grow up with Superman at all. This new movie may be as important to me as the original 1978 movie is to some of you older fans.
