Your review of Superman is ultra fair, but it didn’t get there for me. Those extra pieces cluttered it, and it all felt aggressively fine…but I’m totally with you on Cornenswet. The guy was great here, perfect for the aw shucks optimism Gunn sought, and your line about Cavill but with extra eye life is spot on. Most of the performances were solid, but he stood out, getting me on board with a character I’ve always rolled my eyes at.

Even if I didn’t love the cohesive whole, I appreciated the parts and what was being done here. I enjoyed reading your response and relegislating my own in contrast.

That cow photo feels like it could itself be a massive book. I’m sure I’ve left unexpected oddities in donated books before, but never as mesmerizing a trinket as that cow…
