It's a Bird! It's a Plane! No, It's Super Super!

Now in theaters near... someone... but not you!
Superman from La Mancha

This delightful musical features Schneider, the well-loved superindendent from "One Day at a Time" as the Knight of the Botox Countenance. After reading too mant Marvel Comics, Schneider deludes himself into thinking that he is really the crime-fighting superhero Superman. Along with his faithful side-kick Chachi, he roams the streets of Metropolis looking for adventure.

He encounters the woman whom he believes is his true love, Lois Lane. In reality, "Lois", played here by DeVine, is a hard-boiled cross-dressing detective calling himself Ally Pachino. Schneider continues in his delusional adventures until he is finally brought to his senses by The Enchanting Lex Luthor, who is really Tony Danza (playing himself). The Enchanting Lex Luthor convinces Schneider that he is not Superman, but instead a washed-up TV star who should be confining his exploits to reality TV shows. The joke's on Tony, though, as, in a touching death scene, Schneider reveals the entire movie was actually a Fox TV reality show.

The number of the beast....

Ok, I'm now convinced that the millipede is the spawn of Satan:

After years of searching, scientists have rediscovered Illacme plenipes, a millipede that is the world's leggiest creature, in a tiny patch of San Benito County, California

This type of millipede was first discovered in 1926.

Which is an excellent lead-in to the movie I just saw. What other than...
The Gnomon
The Gnomon is a rivetting story about a sundial that is possed by the shadow of Satan. I tell you, I still get shivers just thinking about how that dark, creepy shadow slowly, stalkingly, approached the "noon" mark. It's like having a shadow of a gravestone fall across your heart. The Gnomon is hours of unfettered entertainment. Not quite as good as the original, though. There is just something about the way Gregory Peck stood there without moving for hours on end as his shadow kept time that Liev Schreiber just couldn't quite pull off....
