Sunday Night at the Movies: Superman (1978)



I like superhero stuff from Marvel and DC, at least some of it, and know it gets a little crazy depending on what it can be. Honestly I prefer Batman to Superman but can't find an upload and so I present you with Superman from 1978.

From Wikipedia:

 It depicts the origin of Superman (Reeve), including his infancy as Kal-El of Krypton, son of Jor-El (Brando) and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered disposition in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane (Kidder), while battling the villainous Lex Luthor (Hackman).

 The most expensive film made up to that point, with a budget of $55 million,[6][7] Superman was released in December 1978 to critical and financial success; its worldwide box office earnings of $300 million made it the second-highest-grossing release of the year. It received praise for Reeve's performance and John Williams' musical score,[8] and was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score), and Best Sound, and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects.[9] Groundbreaking in its use of special effects and science fiction/fantasy storytelling, the film's legacy presaged the mainstream popularity of Hollywood's superhero film franchises. In 2017, Superman was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress's National Film Registry.

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

Image
 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Private elite schools teach "wokeness" to kindergarten children

Image
 Ridiculous and unbelievable, rich people are now paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kids to indoctrination centers where they are taught that all Whites are racist, and everything in their society like math and science is "racist". It's all just so demented.  https://nypost.com/2021/12/19/private-preschools-teaching-the-future-elite-to-be-racist/ Private preschools are teaching the future elite to be racist Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd. “Our ...
