Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The guys next to me complained that our audience was lame because no one cheered for Superman.
It was a sweet teaser, and seeing him in flight was...it looked impressive. But they've fucked him up so much recently. I needed to see dialogue.

Because books.
I got The Hobbit at The Avengers!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We also got an Oz trailer.
I am ... reserved. I was more on board when I thought that the blonde was Ozma, but then I found out it was Glinda and I went back to being reserved.

The flight scene in the big air rescue of Superman Returns was maybe the best I've ever seen, but it didn't make the overall movie any good.

Oh, and by sweet, I didn't mean suh-weet, I meant it was cute.
Amy did your Hobbit preview end with Gollum? That didn't get an outright cheer, but there was definite audience response, over any of the other returning characters.

I saw TDKR with amyth and others tonight. I liked it a lot, and thought the pacing and editing was much better than the previous Batmovie. We had a Hobbit preview as well as a Bourne one, so I was all around happy with things.

Ugh, and before I go to bed, late night movie leavers are the ABSOLUTE WORST. I didn't pick the line with the long backup, but it only takes one guy who's handing the attendant (who they repeatedly tell you won't be there, so please pay at the plentiful machines (which I swear take coins)). And then the guy direct;ly in front of me hadn't validated, but six thirty in the morning, fine -- three bucks and passed.
Since I am the teacher's pet, I had done all the homework. So I cheerfully told him so, about which he gave not one smidgen of a fuck.
WhatEVs standing up dude. Soon I will be lying down.
