It's no Highlander, as Ricky Bobby would say.  Maybe second greatest movie ever.

Though, as Ricky Bobby's daddy would say, "If you're not first, you're last!".

Second place is just first place loser.

What does a fan favorite of the movies even means here?

It never reached Rocky Horror in cult status.  But it was so campy it was one of those midnight movies they'd show at colleges, etc.  Maybe more of a favorite for those who partook of some medicinal herbs?

Is that in human years or in superhero years?
Superman has been around since 1930's and is still able to kick serious butt when he needs to.  Wheel this boy back on the field if he still has some juice!

That isn't possible; Superman can't be that old! Oh, you mean the Marvel superhero, not the moderator. :D

There are a lot of us purist (nerds) out there who are very upset with saying Superman is a Marvel superhero.

 

You can tell it's the off season by how far this thread has gone off the rails - I love it!

Y'know, somehow I missed that.  I grew up reading comic books in the 60's and I always liked Marvel more than DC mags.  My father had hundreds not them - Spidey, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, Sgt. Fury,  and a bunch more.. I learned to read by comic books, not by English class novels, haha.

My friend, we had very similar childhoods.  I think I also learned to read by comic books.  My dad never read them though, that must have been awesome having that library available.

 

I still have boxes of them in my attic.  THey're not worth anything (sort of like my albums) but I just can't part with them.

You're blessed to still have both comics and albums.  My brother got rid of the comics as they had gone moldy from basement floods my parents would have.

 

As for the albums, I used to DJ in the late 70's, early 80's, then again in the 90's (mostly all mobile stuff), but I lost my natural hearing and gave all my records and equipment away.  I wish I had it all back now.  Between my older brother and I we had been collecting music since the 60's. I know how hard it is to part with it.  Don't ever let it go, bro!  Haha.

I'm so conflicted as a mod, because I have to wonder if this thread ever was on topic and just belongs in Misc? haha

Last time I saw anything Superman was the TV show in the early 60s. Never saw a Superman movie.

 

Why does Superman stand there and let bullets bounce off his chest- but duck when an empty gun gets thrown at his head???

Christopher Reeve was the best Superman ever and it isn't even close IMO. You don't know what you are missing by not seeing Superman and Superman II. After the 2nd one they weren't as good but the first 2 are easily 4 Star out of 5 movies. Superman came out in 1978, Superman II in 1980. Superman II was the best where he fought Zod.

Though Reeves was incredible as Superman, I really love the play between Lex Luther and Superman in the 1st one.  Ned Beatty was great in both as Otis.  Highly underrated.  Gene Hackman was…well, Gene Hackman - a great actor.

I agree that he was better than George Reeves, but not by a lot.

    • One of the great things the NFL does is getting people to believe they aren’t rich.   The league made 17 billion dollars in 2021 in revenue.  The average NFL team is worth 5.1 billion dollars.  These guys aren’t broke or strapped for cash.  They can afford these things.     For what it’s worth Holder is reporting that the Colts made the decision not to go after Sneed and then gave that money to all the guys they re-signed last week and had they gone after Sneed it would have been as the expense of some of those guys, specifically Kenny Moore and perhaps Grover Stewartt which tracks with Kenny at least being the last of the group to re-sign.  Physical money wasn’t the issue.  The Colts simply made a choice.  
    • Who has the best RAS score?
    • Frankly the whole Grigson era turned me off of making all the bold moves people want.  He would and they almost always blew up in the Colts faces.  He was saved by the fact he had Andrew Luck and he was just too good to be bad.  Ironically I think if Ballard had had Andrew Luck for his whole time as GM we would be looking at another golden era of Colts football and it would be have been interesting to note both came with the philosophy of build through the draft and reward your own.  Oh well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
    • In 2015 the Colts were considered winners of free agency. Granted there were a few good signings, but we haven't been the same since. Ever since then, I've been completely fine with not signing free agents. 😅
    • Feels like a good time to issue a reminder.  Two years ago, J’Ville spent a fortune in FA.   That was the year they surprised the NFL giving the little WR, Kirk 4/72 which had incentives into the $80’s.   And J’Ville went on to have a good season.    Many here showered the Jaguars with applause and wondered why can’t the Colts do that?!   But here’s what they forget….   In the 10 years BEFORE that one, no team spent more in FA than the Jaguars.   $1.4 BILLION dollars.  That’s billion with a B.  And I think they had one post season appearance to show for it.  So most years Jacksonville “won” free agency and they had almost nothing to show for it.    So when @GoColts8818 says the “winner” of FA typically doesn’t have a very good season, he is correct.  It was his comment that triggered my memory about Jacksonville’s lost decade.  Thanks, GC!
