Okay, question for all you movie/comic/Superman experts (that means anybody who knows more than me, which is everybody); I have a question for you.
Tonight I watched Superman Returns. I never watched Superman Came the First Time (if there was one), and I never read the comics but Superman is just a part of everybody's childhood, so I imbibed some his histoy by osmosis.
But my question is... at the end of the movie did Lois go home with Richard, or did Richard drive off into the sunset all by himself while Lois went home with the kid to hang around waiting for Superman to "be around" every once in three blue moons?
WHAT IS THIS??!!!??
Okay, okay, I know this is Lois Lane, and he's Superman, but why drag a perfectly innocent bystander into the situation, make him a really nice guy (of super-human qualities actually), who actually saves Superman's hide, is a really good father, and loves her so much, and she ditches him to go for some muscle-bound dude in a cape who is never around? Besides that he has a sickening smirk and a stupid curl in the middle of his forehead.
Actually this really is a question, not just a rant. I really wasn't sure at the end of the movie which guy she stayed with. Can somebody tell me?
On to the drug bust:
So, my dad does interior painting for a living. I also make a living painting (myself, the floor, and other people included). Current job is in a low-income section of town. We were painting the dark panelled walls of a tiny house owned by a really sweet black lady of 75 or 80. She keeps a loaded pistol in her bedroom. I saw it- cute little thing.
So one day I was at home writing instead of painting. I called Daddy to ask him a question and he calmly starts telling me the neighborhood news.
He was minding his own business painting away, when he happened to glance out the window. And nearly dropped his brush, I'm sure. Across the street a full SWAT team was surrounding an ugly pink house. He counted 6 or seven vehicles and lots of big guys in full gear with large guns all around the house. Some suspect was hand-cuffed to a chair in the yard.
Funny thing is, he never heard them coming (which is the point, I guess). He just looked out the window and there they were.
And guess what folks, that's about it to the story. The SWAT team searched the house, left with on suspect- not the one hand-cuffed to the chair- and drove off into the sunset. End of excitement.
Just think if somebody had started shooting? Nice tiny house across the road made out of paper and cardboard? And Daddy stand at the window calmly telling me all this? RUN FOR COVER!!!!!!

Such excitement! I bet your brothers wish they could have been there like anything. I know I wish I could have! :)
About Superman, I haven't watched it, but I'd say just go with whomever you prefer. :)
Well, this movie is filled with modern ideas crap and has nothing to do with the real Superman[ie, the comic book]. In the comicbook, Clarke and Lois are happily married and there is no little boy and nobody named Richard.
Stupid movie...
I think she goes with Richard. I also am a little confused with Superman vs. Richard, but I think that she really loves Richard and Superman is an infatuation...if it's possible to do both. It seems like it would be difficult to live that way; I certainly don't want to. As to Superman's sickening smirk...I like it. :) I enjoyed the movie, but I'm a sucker for superheroes.
I'm all excited about the drug bust! YUCK! I just killed a stink bug. Anyway, I some sort of drug bust the other day, but it was more like naughty teenagers leaving highschool being detained by police. There was no SWAT team, unfortunately.
VERY blogworthy, my friend. CRAZY!!! In lil ol' McD?
I agree. My impression from the movie was that she stayed with Richard, but I may have been reading my own hopes into it (I definitely think she should have).
I should add the disclaimer, however, that I despise Superman and the whole Superman genre, and don't think a more idiotic superhero concept could possibly have been imagined (except maybe by a pot-smoking George Lucas -- if anyone could make it worse, he could).
As for the other story, most exciting indeed!
But what happened to the person handcuffed to the chair?
The way you told it it sounds like they left him or her there when they left. (Which adds a great element of dark humor to the whole story, but even in McD I don't suppose that would hapen).
that is exactly what happened! They left the handcuffed individual behind. My dad saw him later, sitting in his pickup truck talking on a cell phone.
Cool! I wish I was there!
Oh,and I think she stayed with Richard.(at least I hope she did)
Wait- still handcuffed- and sitting in the truck?
no! Un-handcuffed and sitting in his pickup truck. I take it he owned the house and was being "detained" in the chair until the house was searched. Or maybe he just happened to be there and they couldn't pin anything on him... who knows? Anyway, somebody else left with the SWAT team, but this particular fellow was let go.
I do not like Superman. That's all there is to it. Batman is much better. Or Spiderman.
