Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Superman (1978)

Miss Teschmacher: It's too good to be true. 
He's 6' 4", has black hair, blue eyes, doesn't drink, 
doesn't smoke, and tells the truth.
Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, some people can read 
War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple 
adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a
chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.
Miss Teschmacher: Lex, what has chewing gum
got to do with the secrets of the universe?

A very happy birthday to the great Valerie Perrine today! It took all my energy not to use a quote of hers legendary performance in the Village People masterpiece Can't Stop the Music but I figured since a new Superman movie just got announced today this was fitting. 


But speaking of Miss Teschmacher -- what did y'all think of Sara Sampaio's turn in the role in the James Gunn movie? I was worried for most of the film that the whole dimbulb "influencer" stereotype was too much, but I do think the movie flipped it on its head by the end and she was pretty funny. And I know there are a lot of people who'd lose their minds for some of some in-depth Skyler Gisondo reporting. Personally I like my journalism nerds in the form of Marc McClure's Jimmy Olsen... hey! That gives me an idea...
