Waiting for Superman 80hat

A few weeks ago, I attended a screening of the new documentary, "Waiting for Superman." I went less for the topic of education reform than to analyze and learn from a well-received documentary film. I had my professional hat on, primarily because this was a film from Participant Media -- a company that does very well with activist films. Though I may not always fully agree with the perspective of their films, I am fascinated by their company structure and have much to learn from them. Plus, I know one of the cinematographers (Erich Roland) and I was eager to see his work.
"Waiting for Superman" is a well-crafted argument for change. It is both an essay film -- the "big idea" film -- and a character-driven story. While it examines the structural problems that have created "dropout factories" among a wide variety of school systems, it also offers some success stories. But what got me was the hunger of the kids to escape the futures that seem to be pre-determined for them. I didn't expect to cry at the conclusion. But I did. Yes, I will admit it. Watching the children work so hard to overcome the roadblocks created by the adults touched me.
I recommend watching this film in order to have a broader knowledge of the problems that plague many schools ... and ultimately our culture and economy. I have to give props to the director, Davis Guggenheim, for being willing to call out adults who have created structures that benefit them to the harm of the students they are charged with educating. We all have a vested interest in changing an educational system that offers protections to inept teachers -- job protections that workers in other industries don't enjoy, either. It's not good market practice and it certainly doesn't equip the next generation.

Watchmen Hero Nite Owl II To Be Next Superman? 80hat

Watchmen star Patrick Wilson, who played Nite Owl II in Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Alan Moore’s cult comic book series has thrown his name in the hat to be the next Superman.
Wilson revealed to MovieWeb that he would love to work with Snyder again but is worried that maybe he is too old to play the Man of Steel…

“When I heard he signed on I called one of my agents and said that I hadn’t talked to Zack or anything but that I just wanted to read it. I don’t even care if I’m right for anything, I just want to know what he’s doing.”

When asked would he be happy to follow Brandon Routh as Superman…

“Oh man, who knows? I love seeing all the Jon Hamm comments and Jon is like, ‘What? I’m over forty, this is ridiculous.’ So I don’t know. That is such a big thing, who knows? I remember when Watchmen came around I didn’t think I was really age appropriate or right for that but then when I jumped into it I was able to make it work. So who knows? I would be happy to do anything with Zack again.”

<<<THOUGHTS>>>
No thanks. There’s no way that Wilson lands the Superman gig. Didn’t Snyder say that his Superman script would be focusing on a younger Superman. At 37 years of age, Patrick Wilson is surely too old?

Lakers-Timberwolves Preview: Superman Is Dead 80hat

We here at Silver Screen and Roll like to name our version of the daily links, "The Credits."  Each day, the Credits are given a movie title that fits the theme of the day or the previous night's game. If you noticed, today's movie was "Superman Returns." In the movie, Lois Lane had written a prize-winning article titled, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." Unfortunately, for both Lakers and Timberwolves fans alike, this might also be true for the NBA's version of Clark Kent (apologies, Shaq and Dwight) - former Lakers assistant coach and current Wolves head coach, Kurt Rambis, who returns to Los Angeles to face the Lakers tonight.
When Kurt Rambis was an assistant coach here in L.A., his primary role was as defensive coordinator. The defense played OK under his guidance. The Lakers did win a championship in his last season, but when he left for the Minnesota job, the D became dominant. Don't believe me? Just remember 83-79 in Game Seven. Or read the post C.A. published last night. Anyway, the Lakers never lost a step with their defensive coordinator gone. In fact, they got better. In Rambis' defense (no pun intended), Ron Artest does make a difference, but gone was the reliance on a strong side zone that often left wide open threes raining down on the Lakers. Back was the tough man-to-man, and versatile switching that gave the Lakers what turned into the toughest defense in the NBA (when it mattered), as well as the NBA's best three-point defense. These Lakers definitely didn't need Superman.
The Timberwolves? They don't need Superman either. They need the whole Justice League. 

Joe Manganiello Denies 'Superman' Rumors: Could a Wrestler Be the Man of Steel? 80HAT

As the new 'Superman' reboot gains speed with filmmaker Zack Snyder coming in to have Supes eye-laser blast people and zip around faster than a slow-mo speeding bullet, it's time to start looking at actors. It might be hard to see past Brandon Routh, who channeled Christopher Reeve pretty darned well, but that's precisely what the superhero powers that be are doing.

As casting rumors started bubbling, Joe Manganiello's name quickly got added to the heap. Though not a big name in Hollywood circles yet, he's gotten some superhero work on the old 'Spider-Man' franchise as Flash Roberts, and is currently Alcide Herveaux in the sexy vamp show 'True Blood.' But the actor has jumped onto Twitter to set the record straight, but it might just be a case of sneaky, careful punctuation.

On Twitter he wrote: "Just to be clear... as of today, I am not 'negotiating' to play SuperMan [sic]" He continued: "...but keep your fingers crossed and thanks for the wishful thinking." Ah, clarity... Perhaps we're just used to bad grammar and an all-out lack of punctuation on Twitter, but it seems noteworthy that Manganiello chose to add quotation marks around the word "negotiating." Could he possibly mean that he's just being clear about what stage of the process he's in? Or, is this meant to tell us that he is, in no way, being considered?

Well, if Manganiello doesn't play Supes, there are a few actor-wrestlers reportedly up for the gig. Bubbling rumors have actually stated that both John Cena and The Rock -- aka Dwayne Johnson -- are also being discussed to play our Clark Kent/Superman duo. Now that is something we weren't expecting, though perhaps it makes sense since both men are very comfortable performing stunts in tights, and Cena's chiseled jaw could make the wrassler/actor a very beefy Superman.

Which way should Zack Snyder and his team go? Are you Team Manganiello, Team WWE or someone else entirely?

True Blood‘s Manganiello may play Superman 80hat

 

I believe Jamie and Peter over at TMT first reported that “True Blood” Lycanthrope Joe Maganiello was pursuing the chief role in Zac Snyder’s new “Superman”. Most seem to like the idea – he has the frame, the dark complexion, the good looks, the shadowy mop…age on his side. But anyway, just how interested would Warner Bros and Snyder be in casting this relative unknown as the new Man of Steel? Had they even heard his cries to be considered?
Seems so.
 reported earlier that Manganiello appeared on a panel at EyeCon this weekend and confirmed there had been “talks” of some sort between he and the Super-crew.
Manganiello was quick to update his Twitter account with clarification – he isn’t actually in “negotiations” but there’s ‘something’ going on. , “Just to be clear… as of today, I am not ‘negotiating’ to play SuperMan …but keep your fingers crossed and thanks for the wishful thinking!”
In other words, the actor has met with Snyder and Warner Bros about playing the role. That likely also means that so have a dozen or more other young bucks, including Brandon Routh (who played the role in “Superman Returns”), Tom Welling (who plays Clark Kent on “Smallville”), Scott Porter (who played Jason Street on “Friday Night Lights”), and – maybe? – Jon Hamm (“Mad Men”).
Manganiello is great as Alcide on “True Blood”, and he fit the part of Flash Thompson perfectly in the “Spider-Man” movies, but is he Superman?
I see there’s a swell of support for Manganiello on the internet (though a couple have pointed out that the guy’s “big nose” might cost him the job) but there’s just as many campaigning to have Routh reinstated.
Here’s a fan-made Manganiello as Superman pic :
