  • Superman and the Case of Physical Media Versus Digital Media – Part 3

    If you haven’t noticed by now, or unless you’ve been living under a rock, the Superman film series has come out now on 4K Ultra HD format from Warner Home Video in both regular and steelbook formats. I managed to secure a copy of the steelbook set for my collection, and so far in the…

  • Continuity Matters

    And now we come to that one thing that is so much a part of every fanboy’s dream, whatever the franchise is… continuity. I don’t know where it began, or how, or with which franchise it started—it may have been the James Bond franchise, first with the Ian Fleming novels, then with the 1969 film…

  • In the Very Merry Month of May…

    The month of May always brings about changes. The transition of weather from spring to the first hints of summer, graduations from high school and college, the start of the summer film season in theaters when those first big films that have been heavily awaited are released. Vacations planned or taken. The list goes on…

  • Those Super Cameos! – Postscript

    So I’ve been in the middle of my next blog for the site, as well as laying down the groundwork for a special Superman III 40th anniversary blog coming soon, and earlier today at work this thought crossed my mind… There was one more cameo from within the Superman films that I completely forgot about!…

  • The Legacy Reunion: One Year Later

    This is something that I’ve wanted to share for quite some time, and it would have come earlier in the week, but I’d battled a nasty stomach bug for a good part of the week, and only now am I strong enough to get this blog finished and ready to share with you. Sometimes you…

  • “Superman IV” Overseas…

    So earlier in the week I noticed on Facebook that someone had a copy of the overseas version of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace on VHS. It was a German VHS tape with the subtitle Die Welt Am Abgrund, which translates to The World at the Abyss. That’s a much stronger translation than The…

  • “Superman III” 40 Years Later

    As we mark the 45th anniversary of the release of Superman: The Movie, 2023 also marks the anniversary of another Superman film with the 40th anniversary of Superman III, the third installment that was more of a lame comedy in the eyes of a number of fans than what they had seen in the two…

  • The Many Faces of Lois Lane

    It’s hard to imagine the Superman film series without Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. In the same way that Christopher Reeve so perfectly embodied the dual portrayal of Clark Kent and the Man of Steel throughout the film series, Kidder redefined the character of Lois Lane for the series. She helped make Lois a very…

  • The State of the 4K

    As the new 4K set of the Superman films are being released, a number of people in overseas markets have begun receiving their copies of the limited edition steelbook set. Some have posted unboxing videos on YouTube, and some others have uploaded the main title credits from Superman II and Superman II: The Richard Donner…

  • Those Super Cameos!

    This past Thursday night I caught the series finale of Star Trek: Picard, which brought to an end the 36-year odyssey of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was a finale that left me cheering, laughing, crying, and not wanting it to end. But during the finale I, like many other viewers, spotted two cameos…
