Keep your plotholes to yourself!
So yesterday afternoon I traveled to the Fortress of Feminine Solitude to have a girls' night in. I was doing my best to be a pusher of two of my addictions (LJ and BSG). First I showed M my LJ site and some of the cool stuff you can do. (I doubt this particular addiction is going to happen, at least not until high-speed internet is available at the FoFS--and why isn't it available already? The FoFS is located in a well-populated suburb, so why no DSL?!?) Then we watched "33" for the purposes of research--heehee! (I am actually trying to write a Helo-centric fic right now.) I got M to say "mmmm, Helo" with me when he appeared onscreen.* C came home early in the ep, so she watched it too, with sarcastic comments about what they messed up from the original series. Then I showed M and C part of "Flesh and Bone," so I could explain about the creepy/hot! guy they need to be watching. They agreed that he was creepy/hot! but said they didn't need to borrow my season one DVDs; I should be satisified that I got them hooked on "Lost." (They've now seen all of season one and part of season two.)
M and I went to Pei-Wei for take-out. Yum, why haven't I eaten there before? We came back, P showed up and we watched "Superman Returns." Four women plus Diego the wonder-dog (who no longer qualifies as male, so he doesn't jinx the FoFS... and yeah, I know it's not really solitude with four women, but it's such a cool nickname, and extra-appropriate this time, too).
My shallow, random, mostly non-spoilery thoughts on "Superman Returns."
First good look at Brandon Routh--wow, he has Peter Gallagher eyebrows. But only Peter Gallagher should have those! Luckily the eyebrows grew on me, in the non-literal sense. (And on a related note, whoever is in charge of Jamie Bamber's eyebrows needs to STOP overplucking. His eyebrows are more girly than mine.)
Those Clark Kent glasses--he really does resemble Christopher Reeves, it's eerie.
Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor is mwah-hah-hah fabulous!
I like the mini-train sequence.
Every time I see the Superman outfit I think "No capes!" (Edna Mode from "The Incredibles")
When they have Brandon Routh in full Superman costume and make-up, he is so unbelievably good-looking that he seems like a CGI effect.
This movie would definitely be better on a bigscreen.
Lex Luthor: "We do have some time to kill." Hee!
Hey, Frank Langella in a non-creepy role! Nice!
< colbert > Lois Lane... great Mom or greatest Mom ever? < colbert >
That image of the boat going underwater was beautifully done, with the family-in-peril making it very moving.
Richard is way too good for Lois.
Hey, a use for a cape--finally! (Normally capes should only be worn by Hobbits and Rangers.)
Mmmm, peppermint ice cream with melted chocolate on top is simply divine.
No, they killed cute Asian bad guy! Splat!
"Keep your plotholes to yourself"** was said 5 times in 5 minutes during THAT scene with the island in the air.

wisteria_'s hilarious screencaps for this recent phenomenon. The Leoben squeal--that's entirely mine.
**In a Simpson's episode, Homer gets smart (it involves crayons and noses, don't ask for details). He goes to a movie theatre, points out the obvious flaws in the film and is kicked out. While he's leaving, the kid selling popcorn says, "And keep your plotholes to yourself!"
