The original Man of Steel, Christopher Reeve, is both quadriplegic and dead. You'd still have more fun spending two hours with him than watching this movie.
If the headline isn't enough to convince you to click on this link, I'm not sure how a pithy blurb is going to help.—BK

At least it's more civilized than the barbed wire steel cage match they use to decide the winners at the Latin Grammys.
Is it possible to mine an iota of excitement from this year's Oscars? Is Rooney Mara the name of a female person? Can a chat room transcript still make for captivating reading even if nobody in it is impersonating a 15-year-old girl? We aim to answer all these questions with a hearty "Indeed, sir!"

What could go wrong with a homemade "I Love V.D." T-shirt?
As someone who enjoys seeing movies in the theatre so much more than at home, I know this man's lament. It is nearly impossible to watch an entire movie without at least one jackass trying to ruin it, and the anxiety that someone might is enough to curtail my viewing by about 90%, much to my dismay.—JS
