Please, not another lonely god...

I've just seen a trailer for the new Superman film "Superman Returns" (remind me again why I need to install iTunes when all I want is Quicktime?), and at the end you hear Jor-El's voice - this won't get a spoiler cut, because those who don't know who Jor-El and Kal-El are obviously don't care about Superman comic books - anyway, Jor-El says, "They can be a great people, if they wish to be. All they lack is a light to show the way. For this reason above all I sent them you, my only son." All this with very heroic music.

Good Grief! Since when is Jesus Superman's secret identity?


... and yes, I am probably going to watch it anyway. I grew up on DC Comics!

I somehow can't really get excited over this movie. My love for Bryan Singer may be vast and enduring... but Superman always bored me. :(

It's dialogue straight from the 1978 movie, to which this is intended to be a replacement second sequel (thus wiping Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace from our grateful memories).

The KE/JC connection is fairly heavily underlined in the final scenes, apparently.

Quicktime is evil, evil, evil!!! Uninstall it, go to filehippo and install quicktime lite. Not Itunes and no placing itself in your startup everytime you watch something.

Just install Quicktime

You don't need to install iTunes when all you want is Quicktime. There is an Quicktime-only-installer on the apple page..

PS: Thanks for your congratulations.
