A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese.

Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.

Also, does he fly a LOT faster than the speed of light? I mean, we're assuming Krypton is pretty far away, right?

Or does he employ relativity for himself + earth-spinny-time-machine when he gets back, erasing hundreds of years of non-Supes Earth history?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In Superman, the Animated Series, Superman needs to wear a spacesuit, and he flies between planets in the spaceship that brought him to Earth.

Hey. New board.

I always assumed that the spaceship he flew to earth in was a standard, close-to-light-speed thing that didn't take too long by his standards thanks to relativity.

Wrong, or never addressed?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He makes like the audience and waves his hands.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Bravo just did 100 scariest movies--some I've never heard of. But the commentary was fabulous. Rob Zombie has the driest sense of humor. Sadly, I'll probably not watch the films I've not seen because I dislike horror movies.

The movie Superman is essentially the pre-Crisis Earth-1 Superman, who could fly way WAY faster than light. Though it sounds like maybe they're employing some elements of the post-Crisis Superman, whose powers remain even under a red sun until he slowly depletes them through use?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That might have been the special that turned me on to The Audition. When Rob Zombie said it freaked him out, I went straight to Netflix and didn't watch any of their clips.

Yup. That's the one. When you freak out Rob Zombie, you know you've hit paydirt.

It seemed like half the people they interviewed picked The Audition as one of the scariest. Though perhaps its plot of a crazy person torturing someone in the film industry hit too close to home.

Matt, remind me--what exactly did he do for a living before he started auditioning women. Was it creative? I thought the film stuff was his friend.
