Let’s make a deal with Superman
Yeah… I know, this one is out of date. The Pirates of Caribbean have already killed Superman! But never mind… if you don’t want to read this entry, it’s okay, besides, this is my site, I can do whatever I want to do with it. Oh, spoilers alert!
Yeah… I’m sure you already know about it… he was in the front page of Daily Planet a few weeks ago. Superman has returned! I watched the movie in the second Saturday after its release. Everyone I know who have seen it said that it’s a good movie.
So I decided to go to the movie house and see for myself if it’s indeed a good movie: if I’m to rate it, I will give it seven stars out of ten. The love story of Superman and the award-winning Lois Lane sucks! That makes me rate the movie not that high. More so, the plot is not that interesting, the suit Superman is wearing is not the one that I had on my mind when I was still a kid, and if you have not noticed, there’s something wrong with the movie…
What we know just by watching the movie:
- Kryptonite is fatal to Superman
- Lex Luthor stole Superman’s crystals in the Fortress of Solitude that can be used to “grow” anything… it only needs water.
- The new continent is made up of kryptonite.
- Since Superman has landed in the new continent, he started to lose power.
- Luthor stabbed Superman with kryptonite making him weaker.
- After Superman was saved by Lois, Richard and Jason, Lois removed the shard of kryptonite that was stocked in his torso but there was still a small amount of kryptonite that wasn’t remove. Superman gained consciousness and he decided finish his mission.
- He dived under the sea and from there, he lifted the new continent and threw it in space.
This suggests that Superman should be dead by now… but how come he’s still alive? Did he still have reserved energy when he crashed from space?
Three days ago, I decided that it’s time to buy a new book to read. And guess what I bought… a novelization of the movie Superman Returns by Marv Wolfman. I’m already halfway through the book and I found out that there are many scenes that did not make it into the final cut of the movie counterpart. The book’s better, but still, the love story of Loise and Superman still sucks… it’s just more dramatic. Lol. I just hope I’ll find an answer to the question: why Superman is still alive and most important of all…
Why Superman (and all of the western heroes) does not know how to wear his underwear?
Can you answer that question for me? Eh?

Do you think that there will be a grand prize winner in Kris’ “Kapamilya: Deal or No Deal”? I don’t think so… there’s only barely 4% chance that you will choose the right briefcase! Or if there will be one, we have to wait for at least a couple of months to go.
Whenever the contestant and whoever is with him/her shout the amount of the lowest prize the contestant can get, I shout and hope for the briefcase that holds the highest amount of money to be opened!
All I can say is that If I’m given the chance to be the contestant, I will choose briefcase number seven and say deal when the banker’s offer reached PHP100,000.00. But of course, I will not be the chosen because as what I can see, most contestants stick with their chosen briefcase until there are only three or two left briefcases to open. Well, this is just a theory because all of the contestants undergone some interviews.
