Truth, Justice, and the American Way


Their Superman:

My Superman:

“Able to blow out candles in a single breath!”

I have vauge memories about seeing the first two Superman movies as kid. If you didn’t know me when I was 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or, more to the point, didn’t attend any of my birthday parties, you might not know that I loved Superman.

Not only was birthday cake Superman every year, but so too was my Halloween costume. My bed was covered with Superman sheets & Superman posters hung on my wall. Apparently, I once I even made a cape out of a pillow case & wanted to jump out of my 2nd story window thinking I could fly like Superman.

Watching Superman Returns, I have to say there where moments where I could feel the eight year old boy in me still jumping with glee. This movie is fantanstic. A++ Brandon Routh is a worth successor to the Superman role & pulled it off magnificently.

Derek is right. Go see this movie. Now.

Although I’ll leave it to you to decide which Superman is cuter.

    My last comment didn’t post for some reason.

    Anyway. Is that Chris blowing out the candles on your cake? That seems odd.

    It was a thing Mom did. After we blew out our own candles, you & Chris would want to do it too, so she would re-light them & let you guys blow them out.

    Of course, you being the youngest, wouldn’t know this.
