Movie Notes: Superman (2025)

I take notes when I watch movies and after the movies, I post those notes on the internet. These are my notes for Superman. Notes made after the movie are made in <<>>'s.

Previews

Naked Gun 2025 - Okay

 

Smurfs - Are we still doing "that's gonna leave a mark"? Are we still doing it or did we go all the way around and the back to "that's gonna leave a mark"?

 

The Odyssey - Initially thought this was "The Return" with Ralph Fiennes. But it's The Odyssey with Tom Holland. I've seen hotter Telemechai. 

<<Discussion has since been consumed by the *horror* of a dark-skinned Helen and a transgender Achilles. Which is a shame.>>

 

Wicked II - Okay. It's a part three? Can't even guess about the arc of this series.

 

Treason and Truth - Again; GUNS are our most powerful weapon. The truth is up there, but guns are very powerful. And apache attack helicopters. They've got guns and missiles.

 

Project: Hail Mary - Obvious mix of Interstellar and The Martian. Written by the The Martian guy. No kiddin'.

 

Fantastic Four - Looks good. Interesting to put together context clue from the Thunderbolts and the last mini trailer. [Man, I was wrong about most of that.]

 

Cat & The Hat - Bill Hader? "A new world." Yeah, let's make the Seuss-iverse happen. ::(

 

Welcome Back - Is that the The Last of Us woman?

 

One Battle After Another - Very different from the first trailer.

Growing up, people told me they'd read The Bible and I never thought too much of it. I assumed it was something everyone got around to doing. Like having sex or getting a driver's license. As an adult, I now realize not everyone has sex in their lives. And also, fewer have read The Bible.

I should specify: the Christian Bible, not the Star Trek: The Next Generation series bible.

Personally, I think it's more important that Doctor Crusher can diagnose diseases at a glance, than יְחִי הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה, whatever that means.

The Bible is just a collection of books written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. It's a collection of books and scrolls. Accounts and even just collections of letters from a couple of guys.

What collections of turn-of-the-Anno Domini writings are and aren't in The Bible isn't a matter of some unified history with one authority over them. It was a system of shared, hand-written texts that would have yearned for the anarchic underground zine resources of the late 20th Century.

A Bible–the bible most of us think of as The Bible–wasn't formed until, I think 1546 and the Council of Trent . And look, Orthodox Christians, Mormons, and Latter Day saints all have their own take. Mostly because those later two–or should I say "Latter Two"--didn't see anything particularly unique or magical about 1546. As long as their god may deign to speak, The Bible is a living document.
