maristuWow. I just updated my site. It now has a recs page, which hopefully will be updated more frequently than my journal was :P
While I was going through the vids I have saved in my HD, I ran across![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bonibaru's Inside Out, a Lex/Lionel vid. So I watched it again. And was awed. Again. So yeah, it's old, but go watch it. Again. Because it's really good :)
Also, I added a page for Goss's vid (Bad to the Bone). I feel so happy when I get things done :)

On other news, the fannish gods conspired to make this weekend high on fannish viewings (or something like that). First off, for some reason hubby decided to watch the Cartoon Network on Sunday, and it was showing the Justice League. Heh. So much better than the old version... Very cool episode. I've come to two conclusions: 1) Batman is definitely my favorite hero ever (unless you count Graphic Novels, in which case I'd go with Rorschach (Watchmen) or V (V for Vendetta). I like them bitter and slightly crazy *g*); and 2) Joker is my favorite villain. I just adore his sense of humor. Remind me what I'm doing again watching Smallville? ;)
And then, just to top things off, we flipped over to TNT and the movie they were showing was... Superman! Yup. Amazing. We couldn't have pulled it off if we'd planned for it, definitely. I hadn't watched that in *years*. And I have to say, I almost gave up, because the first hour is just so damn boring. No, really. Jor-el. Krypton. Young!Clark. *Yawn*.
But... Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent! So cool! So dorky! So like Tom Welling in many respects! And, as Superman, so sarcastic and fun! Yup, love him. Always.

So, I guess that's what we do around here with meta discussions, huh? Read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and try to unlock the secrets of the universe? Sounds good to me *g*

Hehehe. Just watched the season premiere again, with my husband. And really? I liked it a lot. Plot holes aside, it was pretty darn good. Hubby thought so too...
[Scene where Lionel holds Lex's hand and tells him that he loves him, or almost]
Hubby: Wow. Look at that. He's actually showing affection. I didn't think that was possible...
[Lionel then procedes to tell Lex that he's blind, and that he should have left him to die]
Hubby: Uh, I take that back...
*g*

Absolutely. He is classic. He is a Juilliard man, trained in the classics, and his presence has always been a bit stagey, but that fit just perfectly for the dual roles of Kent/Superman. Will always have a very special place in my heart for his Superman. Glad others feel the same. Tom carries on a fine, fine tradition!

Yeah, one of my favorite Gene-as-Lex lines, too. Fuck it, I'm going to rent Supes I and II this weekend and get my fix! It's been too long...

I've got to get more involved in this meta thang. I just can't take SV seriously enough to get all philosophical and deep about it. But...that's my hangup.

Ooh, Superman II! Can you believe that I actually tried to rent them both at Blockbuster and they didn't have them! Grrrrr! How dare they not have a classic like that??? Hopefully, it'll play on cable sooner or later...

I don't get involved, per se. I just, you know, rant. And sometimes write stupid things :P I don't take SV too seriously either, mainly because I don't think they take themselves too seriously. And that kind of bugs me, 'cause it has so much potential... The only character I can be slightly philosophical about is Lex :)
