They could still be underneath.

The world's first superhero flys back to the big screen June 14th, and his eyelazers will surely scorch the enemies of truth, justice and the American way, freeze-breathing anyone who dares to touch his special lady friend Lois Lane. That's right, a new attempt to revive the oldest school of comic book icons, Superman, is about to take place in Man of Steel - and the question on everyone's mind is: Will it be as good WITHOUT the red underpants on the outside?

Totally normal. On Krypton.

It's been a rough, long journey coming to terms with the realization that our beloved "Supes" would not be wearing his famous red briefs. I for one tend to think of myself as a positive thinker. Many assume that Supes will abandon the crimson speedo altogether. I am of the belief that Superman hasn't stopped wearing underwear. He simply wears them underneath his clothes, like everyone else on this planet.

Recent Releases:

Django Unchained ~ Revisionist history and revenge fantasy come to play again in Tarantino's latest.

John Dies At The End ~ From director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep) comes a movie that's sort of like Buckaroo Bonzai with some Ghostbusters thrown in, rub some Fight Club paste on and that's John Dies at The End.

Older Movies of Noteworthiness That Pertain To This Arcticle:

Superman III (1983) ~ In this bizarre Superman sequel, Richard Pryor plays a devious computer genius who creates Kryptonite from scratch-  well almost. Instead of weakening Supes, it causes him to stop shaving and become a mean drunk. He even....fornicates.

Bug (2006) ~ Michael Shannon will be going mono y mono with Supes in Man of Steel, but first watch his brand of cracked out crazy and evil in this Willam Friedkin (The Exorcist) directed film that plays like an adult after school special from Hell. It makes you realize that drugs can be really, really unhealthy.

It is a glorious time to be anticipating the summer blockbuster, ESPECIALLY if your midi-chlorians are in a bunch over Tony Stark saving people getting sucked out the side of a 737 air ride controlled jet! My miniaturized arc reactor hums like a Denubian Slime Devil in heat!
As all of the worthy civilization is fully aware, Phase 2 of the Marvel Universe's diabolical plan for cinematic domination will be coming into play with Iron Man 3, directed by Holywood's former highest paid screenwriter and monk Shane Black! Myself in particular am quite ready to do a Special Edition Death Star explosion, shock rings and all- as a response to such news!


Shane Black....in Predator (1987)?

Need I explain further? Shane Black has only directed ONE other film besides the aforementioned Iron Man 3 and it is  Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which is humorous and engaging (and available in Kris' Picks at St Johns Videorama). It stars Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. And it is a violent mismatched buddy flick, so it's safe to say Shane Black is not straying too far from his magical witticisms.


Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Historically noteworthy, Shane Black was famous for writing Lethal Weapon and other such classy films like The Last Boyscout and The Monster Squad - available at most or all FOUR of our wonderful locations!
