Went ot see "Superman" this afternoon. I liked it. This new guy, Brandon Routh, makes a good Superman, though maybe I think that only because he looks so incredibly like Christopher Reeve.
Don't care for Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. Margot Kidder was a better Lois Lane, though Terri Hatcher is the ultimate Lois. Kevin Spacey was a hard-core Lex Luthor, compared to the somewhat comedic Gene Hackman.
The little exchange between Superman and Lois about the world needing a savior was quite interesting. I'm sure, once it's out on DVD, that clip will show up in numerous church services as a sermon illustration.
Pam and I watched "Munich" last weekend. I read the book upon which it was minimally based back in the 1980s, when people still said the story never happened. Reviewers played up the angst which the Israeli assassins felt, but I was actually a bit disappointed with that part; I though the hype exceeded the substance. But the action was good, and I enjoyed the movie. It just wasn't what I expected.
Okay, that's enough pop culture fluff for this week.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
You might want to take a second look at the message of Superman's "all that stuff."
