Light up another bowl yo!
it was really weird seeing Marlon Brando's name zoom onto the screen in blue text... all of the credits are doing this.
Now there's a shot of the sun? Something weird. A blue orb.... one of them is where Superman came from I'm assuming? OH an ice planet. Not Hoth....
or are those crystals?
So there's a huge orb building and inside is some kind of committee deciding what to do with a few people accused and being held in a couple hoola hoops floating around everywhere. The leader/speaker guy has funky white hair. They are being banished from the planet Krypton? They are found guilty by these giant floating heads.
The White hair guy has a cane that lights up on the end.
DURRELL!
whoa. the orb swung open and the 3 people in the hoola hoops also have a beam of light coming out from beneath them... this is really weird. Hahaha. A weird diamond shape thing oh wait its only 2 dimensional.... whoa. ok so tthat swings by and takes them away. They are seen crammed into the shape screaming FORGIVE ME!
All these people have bright white suits on with different symbols on their chests. Durrell's is the Superman "S".... hmmmm
He's ranting about the planet exploding within 30 days... For some reason he just has a feeling.
OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT DURRELL IS FUCKING MARLON BRANDO. WHAAAAAAAAAT.
Wow.
So they are now going to banish him from Krypton for sparking fear among everyone... I guess he's the only one who thinks the planet will blow up... he says oh I'll stay quiet... but my wife and child and I might leave? I don't know...
So now we see his home and wife and son. They are going to send their son to Earth. WHy?? They are thousands of years behind us. He says he'll need it... I don't know....
The council is investigating him and some misuse of power or something... so he might get in trouble and be banished anyway...
marlon Brando is saying some last words to the little boy before sending him to earth.
So everything in the future is controlled by crystals.
Don't forget the Kryptonite for your flight down, son!
The whole planet is like, crumbling. I think his parents are going to be in lots of trouble.....
oh no the crystal structures of the planet are cracking and people are being impaled! Oh now people are hurtling through the air....
Clark's space ship looks like a mine from minesweep... haha
Oh inside he's getting all the education possible... oh and aging on the way..... so he's going to be super smart...
His pod reaches earth's atmosphere and starts to burn up. It lands in a field and causes a car with a man and a woman in it to get a flat tire. They notice the huge mark left by his ship and then the boy... oh they want to adopt him...
Cut to football practice. Clark's the ball boy. He's the bitch. Got a lot to clean up after this game.... everyone else can have fun but him...
oh man the effect of his super speed is ridiculous.... awful..
we get a foreshadow of Lois Lang on a train that clark run's past.. Oh and he's going to beat everyone to the house or whatever they're staying at...
OH he beat them home...
Oh shit his dad has a heart attack and dies! after telling clark he's here for a reason! sad. funeral up on a hill.
The day finally comes when Clark has to leave. His mother is older and she knew this day would come. Where will he go? North.
So he ends up at like, the North Pole or some shit. It's all ice. he brought the kryptonite rod with him and puts it on the ground. It melts through and then all these ice crystals way the fuck out start popping up. On they are like perfectly geometric... awesome. So Clark goes exploring.
Some of those crystals look reallllly similar to acrylic tubing hahaha
He puts a clear crystal into a VCR and out projects Marlon Brando's face in this weird Andy Warhol-esque effect, floating. He's all like, Hey I'm Durrell. I'm your father. And says other stuff about who he is who Clark (Kallel, only survivor from planet Krypton).
They go on a cosmic journey, breaking through the earthly bounds or whatever. I don't know. He's getting all weird. Ok. So after all that travelling through time and space we come back to the crystal structure and its christopher reeve in the superman outfit and he flies towards the viewer and off the frame. Ha ha what? Ok.
Now we're at the Daily Planet looking thru a camera lens... It's Lois Lane on the othr end of the lens... and te guy taking the picture is Jimmy Olson, dorky photographer.
Clark is in the office Lois and Jimmy walk into. The boss's office, here's that story! They have a humorous bit where clark is asked to open this bottle for the boss and he can't do it so Lois grabs it and hits the bottle cap against the desk and hands it back. He then opens it, but not without a bit more struggling (it's funny because he has super human strength...) and it explodes everywhere.
Clark wants half his paycheck sent to this address. He sends it to his silver haired mother...
After his first day clark catches lois on the way out and follows her talking to her. They get held up by a guy with a gun and clark acts like a complete pussy. I'm not sure I understand this way of doing things... I mean, he could be the shit. But instead he's just a dorky pussy who loves his mother way too much.
Gene Hackman's character is introduced via his voice... Not sure what's going on right now... Not sure I can finish this play by play.... maybe a summary after I finish it? but here's some photos.
