Some of it was a bit of a stretch.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think what he's doing is a great thing. I actually saw that house when I was visiting friends in Cleveland. It's nice to know that someone is trying to save it.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880478510237219406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836299369568387109.post-21077061303878082912008-09-11T10:27:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:27:00.000-04:00I didn't really care for Brad Meltzer's book, but ...I didn't really care for Brad Meltzer's book, but I think that it's a great cause that he's backing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836299369568387109.post-65283591396324827752008-09-10T14:03:00.000-04:002008-09-10T14:03:00.000-04:00Ellen -- I agree it's sad when things like that ha...Ellen -- I agree it's sad when things like that happen I actually saw an article about a month or two ago about what the restoration plans for the Poe house were.<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure your donation will help.

Only recently has anything been done to help and preserve Edgar Allen Poe's house in New York. And I saw first hand the deteriorated condition of the Edith Whorton House. It's heartbreaking really. After I saw the condition of The Superman house in the video you posted, I went over to that site and donated some money. I really hope that the Siegel and Shuster Society raise enough money to repair and preserve that house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836299369568387109.post-24041873563348132772008-09-09T11:30:00.000-04:002008-09-09T11:30:00.000-04:00Dave --- Good to know the kids are turning to clas...Dave --- Good to know the kids are turning to classic movies such as the Reeve Superman movies. Personally, I wasn't all that impressed with Superman Returns. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, I just didn't find it to be great. Although, I have to say, Kevin Spacey made one hell of a Lex Luthor. Byt they way, do your kids watch Smallville?<BR/><BR/>Anon --- True. It was pretty underhanded what the people at DC did to a couple of teenagers, who happened to create one of the most recognizable chracters of our time.Bobby Mangahashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335616508441176887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836299369568387109.post-54823903158328624422008-09-09T09:57:00.000-04:002008-09-09T09:57:00.000-04:00As much as I like the character of Superman, I thi...As much as I like the character of Superman, I think it's absolutely disgraceful how DC Comics tricked Siegel and Shuster out of theri creative rights to Superman when they signed the two on as staff artists. And then that horrid company fired the two when they asked for money. It was THEIR creation after all. And even though they eventually paid them a yearly sum AFTER the first Superman movie was a success, it in no way makes up for what Siegel and Shuster could (and should have) earned. And the fact that the rights to Superman are still being contested is just ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836299369568387109.post-30966853498712473672008-09-09T09:50:00.000-04:002008-09-09T09:50:00.000-04:00I still have a huge collection of my Superman comi...I still have a huge collection of my Superman comics. And I loved the shows. I have the old ones and the Lois and Clark ones all on DVD. Plus the movies. Of course my kids love <I><B>Superman Returns</B></I>, but they've started watching the Christopher Reeve films too. Of course, they still haven't watched the 1950's version. Oh well. At least they're watching the classic Superman movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
