Cavill would make a good 007. Not so much Supe.

Superman: The Movie TV spot for the film's airing on HBO:
[
Too bad there isn't a website denoting when such-and-such a film first aired on HBO; wish I'd kept all those little HBO digests my family used to get each month from 1978-85 or thereabouts.
I bet Dimooch still has them!

Cavill's Kent is his own. And for the record, Kent's not always been a bumbling oaf in the comics, either. It's just that most people who stand by the 1978 film iteration love to pontificate as if it were so. It's like imagining Lex Luthor's always been a snarky real estate mogul. 
From the little we get to see, I liked Cavill's take on Clark Kent. He has a decent, "everyman" quality about him, just as Kevin Costner, who played Jonathan Kent. I was less enamored with the script Costner had to go by, but his performance was really good.
Clark Kent can be either George Reeves' competent reporter, Christopher Reeve's klutzy, awkward Peter Parker-esque take, or anything in between. The Kent in the Bronze Age of Comics was imo mostly a balancing act between Reeves and Reeve.

DC Treasury, 1979.
Well, getting back to this, my new-old copy from eBay arrived yesterday. And I can't imagine why I would ever have gotten rid of this. It's the size of the old Life magazine, and it is just chock-full of photographs, old comics panels, drawings, and plenty of text. Even a little blurb on John Williams and a poignant one it turns out on John Barry, the production designer who died not long after. Some of the photography is a bit fuzzy and the color is vintage 1978 but it is a treat!
I would say that if you're a fan of the 78 movie, like to collect old memorabilia like this, and can find it for $10-$20, it's worth it.

That looks fun, Solium. I have the Star Wars Famous Monsters mag, maybe also one for Close Encounters. Another one for the wish list.

I was at the grocery store the other night and notice like four of those "super anniversary celebration" things that I might want. (Not Superman.). They're $16 a piece! Yikes! I might as well collect soundtracks! (Erm... wait...)
