Topic of the Day: pretty much just the Christopher Reeve movies. I had seen bits of the George Reeves shows, just enough to be aware of them, but not enough to really form an opinion of them. I never watched the Tom Welling TV version, and only saw the first two Henry Cavill movies. I liked them, but didn't love the direction that they decided to go with the storytelling. I haven't seen the newest reboot.

I slept rather well, but not as well as the night before.

Amazon Fresh surprised me by arriving around 6:15. Usually, in the 6:00-8:00 delivery slot it's closer to 7:15, so that was a really pleasant surprise. The young man making the delivery was very helpful, but the idiot who packed the delivery ruined a loaf of bread by overpacking the bag.

DR John G, yes, I agree with you. Hitchcock would have loved Deneuve.

No new Amazon reviews in over two weeks. We seem to be stuck on nine 5-star reviews. I suppose that's better than ninme 1-star reviews.

I really liked the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie, although I disliked the "turning back time" plot twist. The cartoon version appeared sporadically on TV during my childhood, so I'm pretty sre I never saw all of them. I do believe I saw every one of the TV series; it was something my brother Macbeth and I never missed.

Besides the various Superman versions mentioned, I also watched a good number of episodes of "Lois and Clark" and really enjoyed it whenever I saw it, though it never became must-see TV for me.

Austen-adjacent:

Longbourn, a novel by Jo Baker, is about the lives of the servants of the Bennet family (from Pride and Prejudice).

Even if not on Amazon, I've at least read the user reviews for almost anything on Consumer Reports, for a long time now.

Are we to understand that BK has jumped in his listening from G to T? What is this world coming to?

I have never consumed anything Superman. Not a show, not a movie, not a cartoon, not a comic book. I don't know why.

I forgot "Lois & Clark"! My friend K Callan played Clark's mother, and I really liked the show. I probaby repressed it since the dumbass playing Clark is an ICE /Tramp supporter.

I read it as soon as it came out; I'm still not certain of I liked it or not.

TOD

I "collected" (not really, but I wish) the Superman (and related) comics in the early 1960s. If only I'd known I should keep doing it, and preserve them all. But I truly loved them. I know we watched the TV show, but it was probably sporadic and I probably only saw a couple of seasons' worth, if that. Might be fun to view them now.

Just recently I watched the first three movies in the Christopher Reeve series, and mostly liked them, especially the first. But yes, the turning-time-back thing, at least this time, didn't work for me. I hadn't seen it in years and had actually forgotten about that.

Not even songs from the cast album of the Charles Strouse - Lee Adams musical?

I never was a DC Comics fan, so I never read Superman. I really liked Superman 2 and the first few episodes of Lois and Clark as well as the few original animated shorts I saw.

John G. · « **Reply #28 on:** September 23, 2025, 05:57:11 AM »

Yes, I do like the musical, but I can’t bring myself to watching the TV version on YouTube.
