@Orb2069 - ten years of an 8AM wake up at Nintendo casts doubt on that sticking part. ;)
Working on cleaning house on time for tomorrow's job start and watching the Richard Donner cut of Superman II.
Even with all its flaws, I prefer this cut to the others. The bad guys really feel threatening, the movie feels far more serious. It's really weak in the Niagra Falls sequence (which is Richard Lester footage, and just the bare minimum to tell the story) and the East Houston sequence (which originally took place outside Washington DC and never filmed), but otherwise far stronger than the theatrical.
It was never about "won't someone think of the children?!"
Woke up with this in my head, so now it's in yours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzLT6_TQmq8
@thegibson @socketwench - When that scene hits our screens, everyone in our house sings,. to the DuckTails theme:
"Duck Tits! Wooo-oooo!"

@socketwench - it also doesn't help that I was completely stricken by 80s lacepunk. I love 80s lace punk. I WANT 80s LACE PUNK TO COME BACK.
@socketwench - Outside of the hair that could pick up over-the-horizon-soviet-radar Lea Thompson in HTD was Baby Trans Goals for me.
@Aminorjourney - ...working on it.
If, someday, #USAnians look around and wonder what happened to their national status and prestige in the world, they will have an unusually clear transition point to look at.
Today will be looked back on as the day the rest of the world stopped even pretending to believe Americans' "we are the shining city on the hill, an example to the world" credo had the slightest bit of truth left to it.
Embarrassing. Shameful.
