Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. 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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Okay, but doesn't the resultant tidal wave of either the Krypto-continent's creation or its precipitous removal still wipe out Metropolis?"
Uh....no. Because of the...stuff.
(Seriously, that scene works better if you ignore the physical reality of it and concentrate on how Superman is symbolically ridding himself of his ties to Krypton in order to save the Earth. It's a beautiful metaphor! With no tidal waves!)

Oh, no...I totally get that. I was completely wrapped up in that at the moment I first saw it.
Fifteen minutes out of the theater the Evil Monkey in my brain started on the "tidal wave, blah blah, millions dead, blah blah" but I told it to shut the hell up.

Yeah, I really do have to remember that it's just being faithful to the source material when it throws all of physics, biology and chemistry right out the window and let it go. Maybe watching it again would help.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I wanted to like the movie, but while that amazing airliner crash/rescue scene was worth my admission price and I liked that they made James Marsden's character a fundamentally good and worthy rival for Lois' affection, I really didn't care much for the whole.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hell, I'm still expecting them to somehow bring back Barry Allen (if they haven't already).
I believe there is an edict at DC Comics against bringing back Barry Allen except in Elseworlds-type stories.
Uh. There's a strong chance that they're bringing him back. It's been implied more than once.
No, really.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Crazy tights wearing man can FLY and you all get upset about the lack of a tidal wave.
Ya'll crack me up.
