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."

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
