But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I just thought this instantiation of it made no sense.

I thought there were meteor rocks in the puddle the telephone pole collapsed into, which of course explain everything.

The place where I thought a character was being stupid was when Lana came out of the house into the rain to see Adam. She should have dialed 911 and stayed put. (Yeah, Chloe and Jonathan were in danger -- but when aren't they?)

And I never thought of Clark or Superman as being especially smart, but I really don't know comics canon at all.

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

Good comic timing's smart.

Eh. I've known dumb funny comedians. I don't lend it much credence.

I mean, it's sexy, but not always smart.

Art Crawl!!!

Do you think it's an innate sense? Like being able to carry a tune or something?

I can't even.

Parker's a total brainiac (heh), one of the [many] things that made Tobey McSquid so unbelievable for me, but on a human scale. I think Supes is supposed to be inhumanly smart, something that Tom Welling is struggling to portray to us with the writing he is working with.

Has the show ever even commented on Clark's grades? I agree that the actor doesn't come across as very intelligent, but I wonder if they're trying and failing or if it's just not on their radar screen, what with the really cool inner ear shots to show us.

Oh, that was cheap.

Beautiful, but cheap.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Oh, the No Organic Webshooter Campaign. Their literature at cons was how I first found out there'd be a Spider-Man movie. Still, among the superheroes, it's always seemed to me that there was a mixture of intelligence levels and types of intelligence - among the X-Men Xavier and Beast were brilliant, but Wolverine's only chance at winning on Jeopardy would involve threatening the other contestant's lives and making Alex Trebek give him points in exchange for removing the lit cigar from his hand.

Kitty Pryde's bright. Cypher was bright before he was SLAUGHTERED. Jean Grey's only bright in the movies. Wolverine despises book learning, but gets crap done (sort of a Jack O'Neill with built-in cigar and blades).

Most of them are pretty damned average, I think. I mean, no reason to think Wolvie's book-dumber than Nightcrawler.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Not in the movie.

Remind me -- how did that go?

It was just....there, when Peter woke up all buff and spider-y. Feh.

And did you see they're in talks for Spidey 3?

Dude, I'm DYING for Spidey 2, in large part b/c Michael Chabon wrote the screenplay!

Spiderman has funny lines in the comics. Good comic timing's smart.

I was hooked on Buffy from quip #1, because of how Spider-Man-like her fight-and-quipping is.
