Superman Returns

[elovsiereh]

i'd like to clarify one thing. i SUPPORT our troops. i salute your wife and your son for the great service they are doing our country. i suspect that some ridiculous phraseology has led this thread into a misunderstanding of what means what.

fuck it - let's just kill some al quaeda and have a beer.

But it was deleted, and you did notice, and you made a gay thread about it.

My ass, My son is older then you, he serves in the Military try to keep up.

 

[dagash]

Did you ask Mom?

 

[...::: Tzapu14 :::...]

Oh, he serves in the military.

They probably don't serve bacon cheeseburgers and Miller Lite there, do they?

Do you realize that if you dropped dead of a heart attack right now, no one would miss you?

This should've been post #2 in this thread.

People in foriegn countries, liberals, regular people. Mainly those in foreign countries. They probably want the movie to sell better. People will probably argue about "the Ameircan way" and make comparisons with how faults of America and how the phrase is false. They might bring the war into it, saying America isn't about justice and goodness.

It's bullshit drama people create. Putting something very patriotic in a movie that will go overseas during a time of war MIGHT cause drama. They jsut wanted to avoid it.

Anyone heard they took out, "Truth, Justice and the American Way" and used "Truth Justice and all that stuff" WTF is that, If they would have left it out period but the left wing losers said this...."



SUPERMAN?S motto, ?Truth, justice and the American way,? has been rewritten in the new ?Superman Returns? to ?Truth, justice and . . . all that stuff.? Jeannie Wolf reports on Movies.com that screenwriters Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris wanted to avoid outdated jingoism. Dan: ?I don?t think ?the American way? means what it meant in 1945.? Mike: ?He?s not just for Metropolis and not just for America.? Dan: ?He?s an alien, from Krypton; he has come to Earth to be kind of a savior for this world, not our country . . . And he has no papers.? Mike: ?What would happen with the immigration laws we have now?? Dan: ?I?d like to see someone kick him out!?



This is what made the character what he is.



Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me, even when I grew up on the old TV show. Reeve was meant to be Superman/Clark Kent.

He made us believe a man could fly as an actor and then he made me believe a man could be a Superman as a human.

uhh. yeah - we're aware that phrase has been used. if you were aware of the current political climate, the use of "american way" has been misconstrued to mean various evil things. quite the type of thing that would cause grave-spinning imo.

Easy to say for a moderator, How about we go to another board where some moron didn't give you any power to alter my posts? How about we post who and where we are? Game, there post whore?

The movie is for entertainment. I'm sorry you thought too much into a phrase that was said, at most, a couple of times throughout a two and a half hour movie.

It was not deleted, can't you read? If it were never mentioned nobody would have caught it.

The World didn't change. you Emo types are like every generations versions of holding hands and singing songs.


Things have not changed.

Rewording a phrase for a movie to make more money is suddenly worse than making a fourth movie in a franchise to make more money...stop being such a cockmaster.
