Dean1700 4 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Sydney-Australia:As a tribute to the amazing life of Christopher Reeve a last minute change in television programming for Friday 15 Oct 04, by Channel 9, has seen Superman -The Movie return to the small screen after an absence of many many years.I am unsure of the movie's full length however I am hoping it is the same print that I taped in 1986 (which by the way I still have and watch) that I worked out to be roughly 173 mins (without commercials).Better get the VCR ready.

Dean1700 4 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 A check of the local TV program shows that Superman is listed for 8.30pm Eastern Australian local time with a running time of 170 mins. The program shows it finishing at 11.20pm. If this is the case then they appear to be showing it commercial free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,248 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I watched it. It had commercials. But it was brilliant. Never seen a Superman movie in my life, and never heard a score save for the main march. It was so full of everything good in a movie. I laughed, I cried, I actually cared when Lois was in trouble at the end.He will be missed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 This isn't directly related to Christopher Reeve, but it was while casually watching Superman on TV a few days before I left college for the summer after my freshman year that gave me the push to buy the Rhino complete score release when I got home, and started my Summer of Williams Discovery in 2000.

Dean1700 4 Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 It was great to see such a good quality print of such a great movie and even if it did have commercials in it I enjoyed it. I can never get enough of the Helicopter rescue with Supes making his first appearance. The whole build up to it is so well executed.I remember see the first episode of the 1950's TV series long ago (no I'm not that old. It was shown as a repeat (re-run for those in the US)) where Superman (aka George Reeves) makes his first appearance and it is interesting to see who they did it back then. I will not make a comparison here because I don't think they should be. There is a 20 year/multi-million dollar difference between them.But because I know there are longer versions of the movie floating around somewhere I will be forever disappointed with the shorter versions as the story just doesn't seem to be anywhere near complete.Is there a complete script anywhere on-line at all?

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Kopspijkers just did a rather tasteless sketch on "the death of Superman." Ouch.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
