Superman Returns
My daughter and I went to see Superman Returns. Those of you who haven't seen it yet should definitely go back and rent the classic Superman (1978), if it's been a while. There are a number of references back to that film, in visuals, storyline, dialog, and even the theme music. It isn't necessary but you'll enjoy it more. I've never watched Smallville or Lois & Clark.I loved Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor (he was perfect; at least as good as Gene Hackman's Lex), and Brandon Routh evokes Christopher Reeve so well. I do have a gripe, though. Lois was waaay too young! At the opening of the film we learn that Supes had been away for five years. Kate Bosworth (Lois) was only 22 while filming, and she looks it! How can we believe those two have a history when she was only seventeen when Superman left? So she was working for The Daily Planet in what, 11th grade? Here's another thing, but it's kind of a spoiler. Highlight the blank space to read it: We're supposed to believe her son Jason is four and a half or five. The actor playing him looks at least seven years old.
Oh well. It was still a diverting film and a good franchise revival of a film made almost 30 years ago.

Highlight the blank space.....neat trick. How does one do that?
I can't believe you missed the X-Man in the movie. Lois Lane's fiance is Scott, Jean Grey's BF (guy who has to wear the glasses).

He looked familiar but I guess I didn't recognize him without his goggle.
Hiding text is as easy as HTML. Set the font color to be the same as the background color. For example, <FONT COLOR=#FFFFFF>This text will be white</FONT>.
The #FFFFFF is a hexidecimal code. You can Google for an HTML color code chart and see the possible colors; there are 16,777,216 shades.
Thanks for asking! I have something lined up starting Monday (unpaid) :-( BUT it looks like a giant monkey wrench is about to hit me over the head. Stay tuned...
