Superman: Man of Steel (2013)


Recommended Posts

Superman 3 (with Richard Pryor) had him infected with bad Kryptonite. :)

Terrible movie, btw.

Anyhow, Superman NEEDS to show anger on a Wrath level, otherwise there is no "human" element to the character.

Early in production It was said he at one point would behave like an "angry god." If I were Zod I'd get a lead-lined titanium jock strap & cup.

Oh god, finally, epic all out superpower battle. It's something the comic and all the superman animated movies do so well, it's about time a movie did this to.

I think what he meant was it needs to be easier to suspend disbelief. In every Superman movie it's been "hey, this God has turned up and we're just going to trust him and stay out of his way."

I'd like to see a more sympathetic look at Lex. See him as someone who says "Look, why are we trusting him? We've put so much faith in him that we barely fend for ourselves. What if he leaves?"

I find it quite interesting seeing Michael Shannon in this, having watched him so much in Boardwalk Empire, it seems really odd!

Yes, Michael Shannon is awesome! He's probably the best actor in this new superman movie! He does the crazy maniac role so well!

:laugh: :woot: :D :rofl:

My goodness! They keep raising the bar with each new TV spot and trailer. "The Fate of Your Planet" trailer is my favourite one so far. I can't wait to see how Superman deals with General Zod and the other Kryptonians. Faora's line gave me the chills: "You will not win. For every human you save, we will kill a million more."

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
