A SUPER MESS \u2014 <\/strong>I finally watched the new Superman movie this week and I have to say as a former and forever-comic-geek, it was rather dreadful all around, and yes, as I read, Krypto the super-doggie, indeed steals the whole show.<\/p>\n Krypto<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, my\u00a0Superman, started with the TV-one with George Reeves and the first-movies with Christopher Reeve. Superman, aka Clark Kent, was always sort of tame and lame and did his best to hide his true identity. The new Superman was sort of a wise-talking, modern-day man who didn\u2019t take crap from anyone.<\/p>\n The writer and director James Gunn certainly had his work cut out for him as the first-few \u201cnew\u201d Superman movies with Henry Cavill, though great, didn\u2019t exactly run up the $ charts. Warner Brothers itself went almost as many changes and the current boss at WB, Zaz the Butcher, did everything he could to ensure a success. Did he get it? It was the top-grossing movie two weeks in a row, but I predict it\u2019ll be streaming in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n For the record, the\u00a0WB logo doesn\u2019t even appear in the credits-rather, DC Studios.<\/p>\n I liked the first two Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel-epics, which Gunn did, and you can see almost all of the tricks from those movies here. I think ten smartest thing Gunn did was to not do an origin story, rather quickly proceed with who Superman is and what just happened. Honestly, origin stories are done over and over, and are boring. Right?<\/p>\n Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane delivers perhaps the best performance ever of the character, though the group I watched it with heavily preferred her in Miss Maisel. It\u2019s a heck of a risk to portray a character like Lois Lane, but I think she pulled it off very impressively.<\/p>\n Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor was just an awful choice. He sort of was what the creators meant, but seeing him crying at the end of the movie was a bit weird.<\/p>\n David Corenswet as the super-man, was impressive at times, but to me, nothing like the earlier Superman. This new version is sort of the Gen-Z brand and somewhat diminished.<\/p>\n I was pretty disappointed, but I knew the reason why the changes happened. The current crop of movie goers probably never even heard of George Reeves or Kirk Alyn, let along Christopher Reeve. Strange, but true. SHORT TAKES \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Carson Daly on Today Show led his New Music Friday with new releases from Chappell Roan; Rene Rapp; Demi Lovato and Maren Morris. Imagine my surprises when they all sounded virtually the same. Maybe all the songs were written by the same committee?<\/p>\n Martha Wash<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sad days for music is all I can say \u2026 Martha Wash (Two Tons of Fun\/Weather Girls) at My Father\u2019s Place on August 22?

More to follow on him \u2026 Watched Rami Malek\u2019s The Amateur over the weekend. What a cast indeed (Rachel Brosnahan; Laurence Fishburne), but it felt like a rerun of the first Bourne movie. Malek was great as was the superb direction by James Hawes; the plot intriguing, but we\u2019ve seen it before \u2026 Shirley Halperin joins Rolling Stone September 1 as its first-ever female editor.

Stay tuned \u2026\u00a0 The now-called awning collapse at Brooklyn Height\u2019s Clark Street Station could have occurred anytime in the last few years. I live near there (as does PIX 11\u2019s Magee Hickey) and always wondered as I walked under it, when it would fall. The awning was the sign for the Hotel St. George which is over 95 years old. Thankfully no one was hurt in the Sunday collapse, but the stop remains closed for the time being \u2026 As we go to press, Rupert Murdoch has announced a California Postpublication. Yes, the celebrity.land on the left coast. Considering the state of newspapers out there, the timing is perfect. The LA Times,\u00a0if you don\u2019t know, is in mass turmoil. I can\u2019t remember the last time we posted an announcement about a new paper starting up. I like the idea.
