I've been trying to figure out the right way to paraphrase that Santayana line about history in order to fit our current moment. Here's what I've got: Fascists lie about history because they want to repeat it.

This kills me every time. #language #humor #nerdhumor #linguistics

Hello, I am a creative writing professor in a film. I am in my 50s, yet sleeping with my female students in their 20s. I still have a full head of hair, but haven't written anything of merit for 20 years. I've a drinking problem, am grouchy yet loveable, and will be redeemed by the end of the movie.

Hello, I am a law professor in a film. My office is the size of a ballroom, panelled in ancient oak. My desk is teak, with a leather top, and has no technology of any sort on it. I wear only tweed, and have a secretary called Margaret.

Hello, I am a scientist in a film. All my liquids are brightly coloured. The time it takes to perform tests and experiments is dependent on plot requirements, not biology or chemistry. Also, my safety glasses are extremely stylish.

Hello. I am a person in a film or television drama. I never use the toilet.

Me walking out of Superman for the second time: “Man, this is the movie of the summer!” Me walking out of Fantastic Four: “Man, Superman is the movie of the summer!”

The new Superman film is a lot of fun: bright colours, sincerity, a fair bit of silliness. This is objectively the correct vibe for a Superman film, and I'm happy we finally found our way back there.

#Superman director James Gunn has released the full mural of metahumans in the Hall of Justice

In “Superman Smashes the Klan,” Superman is obviously anti-Klan. But according to scholar Chris Gavaler, the popular mythologization of the Klan is tied to the birth of the superhero in ways that might affect our understanding of Superman’s approach to justice. 1/12 #Superman

In advocating for inclusivity, “Superman Smashes the Klan” draws (quite literally) on an internationally-inflected style that brings manga, Max Fleischer, and DC house style together to create a charming mosaic that advances the themes and meanings of the story. #Superman 1/12

i saw superman yesterday, it is as good as everyone says it is, truly just peak superhero content movie thar makes me wanna be a better person fr

This is such a little thing, but I was so glad that Superman didn't have Budweiser product placement. Both Man of Steel and Superman Returns show Clark drinking a Budweiser and I just think he'd have better taste than that.

I hate calling movies "important," but SINNERS and SUPERMAN are vital works of mainstream art at a moment when we're about to lose our country (if we haven't already). Coogler and Gunn are appealing to our better angels (in very different ways), and targeting obvious villains. Now or never, folks.

Definitely the best live action DC movie in a long time, and easily one of the best Superman movies since the 1978 one. Granted, neither of those are high bars, but this movie was way better than I thought it was going to be.

Superman is the story of a man who gets cancelled because his parents are creepy patriarchal racist eugenicists and decides to make up for it by trying to be a better person rather than doubling down on it and bemoaning the excesses of cancel culture--no wonder the online right hates it so much.

A better Superman than Dean Cain

It’s a shame Dean Cain turned into another Trump as* licker, I genuinely loved how he played Clark/Superman on “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”. You’d think a guy who played the character for several seasons of a TV show would have a better understanding of the character.

Even though it openly borrows some of the iconography and the theme I enjoyed that Superman was the first Superman movie since Superman 1978 that didn't feel like it was just a sequel or a remake of it.

Saw it a few hours ago, it’s a delightful movie. Better than any Superman product I’ve watched in a while.

We saw Superman yesterday. Really enjoyable movie. While it does a few things better, doesn’t really surpass the original Donner film. Maybe close to on the same level.

Superman returned a feeling of hope to me that I haven't felt from superheroes in a good long while. And, of course, dogs make everything better. Read my full review: www.kuaf.com/show/ozarks-... #filmsky #superman #moviesky

Superman is like a better Force Awakens, superb cast and a very fun, very watchable energy that can cover up larger story issues in the moment

Just a reminder that Dean George Tanaka, better know as ‘Superman’ Dean Cain, was a DEI hire. Thank you.

Am I the only person who doesn’t think Superman 78 is perfect? It’s fun! It gets a lot right. Reeves was born to play Supes and he’ll always be the gold standard. He and Kidder have great chemistry. Etc. It’s also silly, it has weird tone problems, and the less said about Brando the better.

Last time I saw Superman in a theater he was a miserable fuck so let's hope this one's better!

"Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" started right here in Ohio. Proud to see Superman return home—and to see Cleveland’s skyline and spirit shine on screen. This is a celebration of our history, creativity, and heart.

Here comes one more thread about Superman. Last one before I see the new movie... If you follow me, you might know something about my Dad, Michael Avallone.vWrote around 200 published novels, some of them selling millions of copies… but a roller-coaster career. 1/?

Things I never expected this month. Jurassic World Rebirth is a better film than Superman. Not that I didn’t like Superman. I did. It’s fun. But damn. They made a really good dinosaur film.

We've needed a FUN Superman movie for years now. No offense to Brandon Routh or Henry Cavill - They were good actors for their versions of the character, but for current times? This is a Superman EVERYONE can fall behind. For Truth, Justice, & a Better Tomorrow, GO SEE THIS MOVIE! #Superman

It’s hard to describe the differing approaches in the two versions of this movie without making the theatrical SUPERMAN II sound bad, which it’s not But this is far less jokey, which is better, and it simply has fresher work from a cast who hadn’t already been on this two-movie project forever

See, the thing about a good Superman story is that he actively inspires me to be better. That’s kinda the whole dang point. It was even better on second viewing btw. I’ll let you know after the third. And fourth. And fifth. And…
