I dont think Superman would appreciate it. It's not a Superman appreciation site. It's Armand's personal site where he covers the various things he's interested in. I disagree with most of the political stuff Armand supports, but hey, it's his site. Chris Herzog "The Devil's on the loose and he's dancin' with the Mummy!!!"

He could have had his "Superman Plaque Project Progressing" info posted on a blog plastered with naked babes and I would have mentioned that. While I dont have to click on the political links running down the page, it's hard not to notice them. Typically bloggers add links related to the current one, so I naturally glanced at the right side of the screen. That's all.

I'd love to see someone use Digital to clean up the matte & wire lines, add some subtle camera moves, put some clouds in the FG to match the BG, and colorize that stuff in Legend quality. Just for the fun of seeing it - you'd have something truly Super!

Thanks to Rak, I have a new appreciation for later color seasons, but those first two, as does George Reeves himself, along with the cast, particularly John Hamilton, remains close to my heart.

Jun 30 12 8:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	>i think of movies and tv shows as time capsules.warts and all.i think they should be left as is.< I DID write "just for the fun of seeing it," fb. Not as a replacement of the orginals. To be clear, bela - I think the look of the Second is best. But its one main flaw is Noel - her performance is not even in the same league as Phyllis's. Also, George's work is a bit stiff the first season; he really relaxed into the role by the next batch.

Jun 30 12 11:59 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	he did relax more in the second season .if he was more relaxed with the film noir stories in season 1 it would have been even better in season 1. Last Edited By: flashback Jun 30 12 3:04 PM. Edited 1 times.

They were still feeling their way. I don't see much different in George's portrayal between the two, but yeah, maybe he was more relaxed by Season 2, dunno. But man...Phyllis Coates! Hottie extraordinaire! I like Noel, don't get me wrong, she's fine in the role, but Phyllis is just in another stratosphere to me. I also love the noir feeling of that first season, and they weren't afraid of violence at all.

Watch George again in the Firsts, Bela, trying not to blend it in the mind with the other seasons. His Supes is vocally and physically more stiff, and played like more of a ball-buster. The Second time out, he relaxed and let the character have some humor - because if you really ARE super, you don't have to ACT super.
