Considering there are animated Superman movies I still haven’t seen that I’m interested in, I only have so much time in my life.
James Gunn, who I’m not a fan of to begin with, has said that he didn’t want to make a Superman movie until he learned about Krypto, which he breed-swapped into his own dog. Between negative and positive reviews as well as official promotion (most of which was about Gunn, earning the title James Gunn’s Superman By James Gunn here) just didn’t sound like it was really that focused on Superman, and didn’t get him quite right when they did. Not Zac Snyder levels of wrong, but enough that, as someone still on the fence about watching Superman Returns and never got into Superman & Lois despite the praise, I’m just not really sure I want to go through. Maybe things will change, but there are still a bunch of animated Superman movies between HBO Max and YouTube that I haven’t seen, so I’d rather go through those first. Remember, this is personal preference. If you liked what Gunn did, more power to you. I don’t care for what I saw and there’s only so much time in my day. My Finally Watched list is big enough as it is.
Speaking of big lists, over at The Clutter Reports this week I was going to do more digital organizing, but I wanted a project that gave me more of a sense of satisfaction. So instead I tackled a drawer in the kitchen with my dad that really needed decluttering. Now if I can only decide what to call it. It also led to a second drawer cleaning. So it’s a two for one project.
This week at the Spotlight we’re doing two chapters for the Chapter By Chapter review of Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Mirror Image because of length, and getting into the first attempt at creating a Transformers cartoon for CBS, plus whatever else goes on this week worth covering. If anything since real world stuff seems to be burying storytelling discussions. Have a great week, everyone!
