As subtle as a flying brick.

I may have to kill somebody.

According to recent data and rumors, the new Superman Movie is starting up production. Yea, the big WB finally got off its ass and hired a director.
That’s where the good news ends.
The Director is McG, no, thats not a nick name, thats his full name McG. He directed Charllies Angels, and Charlies Angels 2.. 2 of the most .. um.. interesting, movies ever. The only good thing about those movies was the fact they didn’t star J Lo and Ben Affleck
But the bad news doesnt stop there.. Who will play the Man of Steel? Ashton Kutcher. In case you don’t know the name, he’s the guy boning Demi Moore. Yea, that kid from ‘that 70’s show’. Oh, and if that’s not bad enogh, for the hard nosed reporter, and love interest to Mr. Krytonian, Lois Lane, she’ll be portrayed by .. ugh.. Drew Barrymore.
I’m a hardcore Superman fan. Like -hardcore-, but I’m not sure if even I would goto this movie. I mean a remake of the orginal Superman Movie is cool, but, well, fuck.
I’d be up for some cameos by like Christopher Reeves. You know, Superman saving the man in the wheelchair gag, all the classics, but this shit just damn well makes me wanna start projectile vomiting blood at McG and WB.
They had signed Richard Donner up back in August, but since then have migrated to this retard. Mr Donner was involved in the orginal Superman, Superman 2, Get Smart, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., 6 episodes of the orginal Twilight zone, to the Goonies. You heard me, The mother fucking Goonies. His list of projects reads like a best seller’s list of great TV and movies.
I wonder who will play Jor-El or Lex Luthor? Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman replaced by what, Will Ferrell and Brendan Fraser?
WB is evil. The basic forumla for success doesnt involve taking things that were popular and injecting pop culture. Major Studios scare me. McG could probally do a decent Comic Book film, but not Superman. Superman is too stern/stoic for his sloppy seconds style.
I’m gonna go puke.
Oh, and for the record, Superman is Canadian. So stop with this American Pride / American Idol crap.
