I apologize for being so late with my moves in the tournament. I've been very busy as of late. But I am back now and am ready to complete the games.

I need a tournament ruling from you guys. I am back too late for my moves with "Dirtywookie". SchemingMind said I was timed out. But "Dirtywookie never abandoned the games. SchemingMind still let me make moves in the games. But, by most rules I would have lost the games on time. If you guys wish, I shall resign from both games. I asked "Dirtywookie" what he wants me to do using the game comments. He has not as yet responded. my fate is in you're hands, I shall abide by your wishes.

Well, wasn't he in space for a prolonged time in COIE and Infinite crissis?

I have a feeling that Lois's mind wipe just took away her knowledge that Clark was Superman, but I bet she remebered the great sex.

If that were true, the mind wipe would be pointless. The reason he gave her the mind wipe was to releave her of the memory of the relationship. She was heart broken and couldn't move on. If he had just removed the memory of Clark being Superman, she would still remember the relationship and would still be heart broken.

Really? Are you sure? Because the Superman from the first movie didn't have any problem taking a peak at Lois' pretty pink panties. If that isn't creepyly perverted I don't know what is.

And I don't care that Lois asked "what color underwear am I wearing?" [/skank], Superman shouldn't have looked. Hell, the lead wall was in the way and after Lois moved and had gone on to the next question he then took the opportunity to sneak a peak instead of moving on to the next question with Lois. Really gentlemanly of you Sups. *rolles eyes*


Are you kidding me ?!?

You answered your own question. He was given permission to look as a test of his abilities, and it was a forward way of flirtation that totally fits with the character of Lois Lane as established in the film. Superman is still a guy, after all. I think you're trying really hard to make the "cute" Superman sound less like a creep.

Nope. No problem here. All those movies suck ass and can fall off the face of the earth. To me (and many other people) they simply don't exist.


But no matter what you say they do exist . I know because I have the DVDs (I got them in sets with the better movies). Just how far does this go? If I kill off a character in one movie or episode of a tv series, can I bring him/her back by just throwing out the episode where he/she died? Does this mean that COIE wasn't needed? DC could have just thrown out all the comic book stories concerning the multiple earths and just said there was only one all along. It has been argued that you can throw out Superman III and IV because they are bad. So who gets to decide which movie are bad enough that they are allowed to be thrown out of the continuity. I think License To Kill was a horrible bond movie. Am I allowed to throw it out. What about the PT?. Alot of people don't like ROTJ, should that be thrown out? How much playing around with the continuity should be allowed? I'm just not confortable with it.

I have a difficult time believing that they will kill off Superman. The might kill him and bring back like they did in the comics, but I doubt they will kill him permanently. I just watched the film tonight I give it a 7. Opening credits were great. Routh did better in the part than I expected. Althought now that think of it I do question the spying on Lois bit. Not just because the Superman from the comics wouldn't act that way, but because the Superman from Superman I and II wouldn't do that either. That brings up another complaint. In
Superman II, Superman broke off the relationship with Lois because the holograms in the fortress of solitude told him if he wanted to be with lois, he would have become human. If he becomes human, he loses the ability to save people and fight crime like he does. He decided that saving people and fighting crime was more important than a relationship with Lois. So, why would he be worried about Lois having a boyfriend in this movie?


*spoiler*
Here is another problem: First in the when was the Superchild concieved? Superman and Lois did not have that kind relationship pre Superman II. At the end of Superman II, Superman broke off the relationship, so the child was not concieved after Superman II as that would have involved Superman giving up his powers and becoming human. Therefore , the child must have been concieved during their Superman's and Lois's romance at the fortress of solitude during the events of Superman II. At the end of Superman II, Superman erases Lois's memory of their romance because their breakup was hurting her too much. So how could Lois possible know at that Superman is the child's father? She has no memory of them having sex! Then again, maybe the new cut of Superman II clears this up.
/*spoiler*

I know we talked about this before, but when I heard the line "truth, justice, and all that other stuff" I came sooooooooo close to throwing my popcorn at the screen and booing out loud. I still say it is p.c. b.s.

*spoiler*
I have a feeling that they are planning to bring Superman and Batman together. At one point in the movie, a tv news report lists a few cities. One of the cities meantioned was Gotham.

I haven't read too many of comics, but I did read COIE and Infinite Crisis. both depict Superman being able to go into space without needing a space suit. So if it is ok for COIE and Infinite Crisis, why is it not ok for the movies to do the same thing?

Does anyone else have a small problem them deciding to throw out Superman III and IV? I know they were terrible movies, but they were made. It is right or fair to throw them out of the continuity? Does this mean the creaters of Star Trek can throw out Star Trek V. What about Godfather III?

While I am glad that they used John William's music, I felt this move would be alot better If John Williams had scored the entire movie. Just my opinion.

Does anyone agree that Kevin Spacey should be blacklisted for his mailed in going through the motions performance? I know he can do 10 times better that that.

Btw, I saw a trailer for a movie that I must see: Invincible. It tells the real life story of a walk on player for the Philadelphia Eagles. I can't wait to see it!

Here is poem that I like very much.

"RAGGED OLD FLAG"

I walked through a county courthouse square,
On a park bench an old man was sitting there.
I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."
I said, "Your flagpole has leaned a little bit,
And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it.

He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down.
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,
But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag."

"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing _Oh Say Can You See_.
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams."

"And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on through.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag."

"On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun.
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp and low a time or two.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam."

"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land she's been abused --
She's been burned, dishonored, denied and refused."

"And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land.
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in.
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more."

"So we raise her up every morning,
Take her down every night.
We don't let her touch the ground
And we fold her up right.
On second thought I DO like to brag,
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that Ragged Old Flag."

Written by Johnny Cash
