The Last Son of Krypton.

It's been quite a while since my last post. Not that anybody missed it. Not a lot of people read these stuff, anyway. I can probably count the ones who do and the fingers on one hand would be enough. More than enough, actually. Enough said.
Anyway, I've been wanting to post some of the 'interesting' things I've been thinking about for the past days (or is it weeks? can't remember..).
First, 'Superman' is dead. Yes, Christopher Reeve has passed away. And it would be hypocritical to say I was not affected. Mr. Reeve, representing that guy in the sky, was the one who inspired me during my childhood. He was, for me, the epitome of manhood. Most of all, he gave me the chance to delve into fantasy - the place where creativity is weaved, my 'Fortress of Solitude'. And even way after his paralysis, it's only now that I've come to know how brave he was. Cheers to you, Christopher! Fly Free.
In relation to Superman, Warner Bros has recently announced the new Superman in the new Superman Movie slated for a 2006 release. His name is Brandon Routh. And he is basically not that famous (yet) - like Christopher Reeve was before he donned that blue and red suit.
Also like Tom Welling, before accepting the role of teenage Clark Kent in Smallville. Speaking of Smallville... it just rocks!!! Hah! I've seen the whole last two seasons and it just keeps getting better. Episodes 1, 2 and 4 were good introduction to Season 4. But I can't wait to see Episode 5 (Run) where the young 'Flash' makes his appearance. If you're interested, you can check out a lot about 'Smallville' on this site: http://www.kryponsite.com/ Beware though, a lot of spoilers ahead.
Last one, here's a that great teaser poster for the 4th Season:
Peace!

hehe. comments puro saken din eh noh?

Oo Jas, hinahanap ko rin yung movie na yun eh.
I remember watching it when I was young as well kaya lang di ko maalala details ng istorya. Pero 'yung plot at setting, ibang-iba! Really takes you back in time. And you start to wonder, ano kaya kung saken din mangyari 'yun? Astig siguro.. :)

Ako naman, una kong napanood na movie sa TV namen --
(TV na buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon at nasa bahay ko dito sa Maynila, National brand nya, 18 inches. 'di pa ata pinapanganak bunso namen nun.. kaya mga 1988 pa yun. hehe..) --ay Pet Semetary 2. Grabe, kakatakot yun. Kaya siguro ganito ako ngayon, i hate television - the horrors it creates.
Go figure.

Hehe.
