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 readWar and Peace and come away thinking it's a simpleadventure story. Others can read the ingredients on achewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.Miss Teschmacher: Lex, what has chewing gumgot 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...

Valerie is so perfect as Miss Teschmacher it seems impossible to think she was far from the first choice. Goldie Hawn was offered the role first, then Ann-Margret but both passed. Haven't seen the new film yet but I can't imagine anyone matching her work. Wonderful actress who waited to long to capitalize on her breakthrough in "Lenny".
Have you seen the "Valerie" documentary about her? She is terribly ill and it's tragic to see her so diminished but her spirit is indominable.
Speaking of HOT...have you seen the guy who drew that? He's the current Batman pencilier. Very talented. Very hot. Name is Jorge Jimenez. GotDAMN!
Jorge is indeed a studly snack, he drew Superman and Super Sons just a few years ago, and still does a lot of very sexy Superman. I can't be bothered to read batwank no matter how talented the artist.
