Kryptonite

So for the past few days, Peter has been furthering my knowledge of cinema by having a Superman marathon. Straight on through the first four and then to the newest release, "Superman Returns". I found it funny in "Superman III" how superman was battling, not his arch enemy, Lex Luther, but computers. A super computer designed by Gus Goreman, to do whatever he tells it to. Greedy Ross Webster takes it upon himself to abuse this great power for his own financial profit. Superman gets in the way of his plans and is served some bootlegged kryptonite that instead of producing the desired effect of death, turns him into a selfish, conceited Superdouche. So after a weird inner struggle/conflict/battle, the man of steel regains some composure and takes out the computer with some acid that turns deadly with heat. Again Superman saves the day. Well, anyway, Gus doesn't want to hurt any one so he backs out and ends up on Superman's good side. I feel like I'm the only one who realizes that Gus gets away with stealing thousands of dollars and actually being the one that gave him the tar infested kryptonite in the first place. I give this movie 2.5/5 stars.

You can find a plot summary at the Internet Movie Database. This one [in my opinion] doesn't quite do it justice, but it's great if you want to hit up some other flicks.

Well, it's 3:11 am. time for bed if I hope to make it to Volleyball class at 9.
