Ironhand

Haven't seen it yet, but it seems as if nowadays there is no such thing as an ongoing Superman series.  Instead, there is a sort of cyclical rebooting of his origin story.  Then a few years later, they do it again.

Maybe they are conanizing Superman.

I will shortly be sending my adaptation of The God in the Bowl to my webmeister  to add to the Scrolls of Ironhand.  I will use this thread to inform you when it actually appears on my website.

I am combining both movies in a single thread, even though I haven't seen After Earth yet, because, looking at the trailers, they both seemed to be the same movie.  Humanity dressed in shiny jump suits  returning to a post-apocalyptic Earth.  One involves a romance, and the other is about a father and son.  Both seem to involve a lot of ego on the part of the big name star.

Tom Cruise manages to look continuously noble while getting the holy $6i4 beat out of him.  And Jaime Lannister is there.

Did anybody watch Defiance?  I don't have much of an opinion yet.  To  me, it looks like a Western with aliens.  Doesn't look much like St. Louis, even if it is ruined.  The set doesn't even look like a ruined St. Louis.
