Yeah, I was joking.

Sorry. That dry British wit sometimes is lost on me.

Also, I've messed up his name before.

OT: Is something wrong with the bold text or something? I keep seeing these < > everywhere.

Routh's Supes needs to smile more. Bosworth's Lane needs to get fiesty and inquisitive again.

How do you feel about Spacey?

Spacey just needs to be more "Luthor". He wasn't investing himself in the character. Not nearly slimey enough as has been traditional (and, no, I'm not looking for Reeve, Kidder, Hackman clones in the casting).

Not nearly slimey enough as has been traditional

That's kinda true. What stood out to me (and what I found kind of unsettling) is that he seems like much more of a bully and a sadist,....and yet he seems to be viewed more sympathetically than previous Luthors, like "Oh well he has his reasons to be evil" or something. This adds another layer of moody darkness to the picture, making it somehow more "disconcerting" in a way, and nothing like any of its predecessors in film or television. Just, well...creepy. (Kind of like, oh I don't know...Apt Pupil?

)

Am I making any sense? These were just my impressions.

And having him direct a Superman film would be very interesting.

If Singer is dispatched from the project, IS it possible that Rami could be brought in? (yay, I spelled it right!

)

What, Raimi?

Rammy!

Rummy! Iwin!

I'd love it if they had Braniac, the Toyman, Prankster, Doomsday or even that villain with the name NO one can spell or remember how to say...(starts with an "M"!) I'm not even going to attempt that one!
