It was announced that British actor Henry Cavill has been cast as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman in the Superman re-boot movie due out next year. I’m not filled with dread over the decision, by any means, but it is a little sad to see America’s greatest hero being played by an Englishman. That’s like casting a Scotsman as England’s great hero, James Bond. (No kidding…really? Ok never mind) But I’m unfamiliar with Cavill’s work so I can only go by his look…and he certainly has the eyes and jawline to play the Man of Steel.
But the thing that concerns me is something I read about the REASON they cast Cavill. A studio exec was quoted as saying, “We’re really going to try and make Superman as contemporary as possible.” Which some have interpreted as meaning they are going to ditch the John Williams theme that has been synonymous with the character since the 1978 movie. This, to me, is simply not acceptable. The John Williams has become as much a part of the Superman character as his cape and tights. When you see Superman’s big red “S,” the theme starts playing in your mind.
You were humming it before you pressed play, weren’t you?
Fortunately some composers have had the good sense to turn down the assignment already. Hans Zimmer reportedly turned down the job to write a new Superman theme saying, “I’m not thinking of rewriting Beethoven’s ninth, either.” Which is exactly the point. If you write a new theme to Superman, you will not do better or even as good as Williams’. Which only leaves you to do worse.

Another bitter entry from Tim? Must be a Wednesday!
Cracked totally screwed the pooch this week with their contest where participants were challenged to show what famous movies would look like if they were made in Japan. Look I get it. Cracked does these contests and there have to be winners and losers. But not ONE of my entries were picked and I think some of the ones they DID pick suuuuuuuuuuuuucked! This was the prompt we were given:
Cracked Prompt:
These will be classic movies, if they’d been made in the land of anime, robots and unspeakable perversions.
You can go here to see all the chosen entries…but I’d say almost half of them don’t stack up to these:
Can’t get much more classic than Snow White. I even took the extra time and effort to give her huge anime boobs and eyes. Now I will admit that the contest was jam packed with tentacle entries but mine was first and I think mine was funniest. (Certainly funnier than the Graduate one they chose) Read the rest of this entry »

Another Kevin Smith blog? …yup
Can we just let this guy fly already? This stress is clearly effecting his decision making process!
Kevin Smith is coming out with a new horror movie soon. It’s a pretty big departure for him from his usual comedies. I probably won’t see it. No offense to Kevin, I’m just not a horror movie guy. But that’s OK. I don’t have to be into EVERYTHING Kevin puts out. Just like I don’t like EVERY Harrison Ford movie, I don’t love EVERY Disneyland ride, and (believe it or not) I don’t listen to EVERY Michael Jackson song (Although I am LOVING Slave to the Rhythm). Artists change, artists grow, artists experiment…I get it. Maybe you’ll catch me with the next one (although the next one apparently going to be a hockey movie…so not likely)
So this is not a blog trying to tear Kevin down for trying something new. Not at all. Bravo sir. Set a course for “out there somewhere” and engage at warp 9. No…this blog is a face palm in text form about Kevin making the same mistake a third time. Read the rest of this entry »
