Supergirl Arrives in Six Days: Are You Ready?

Or, do you even care?

I wasn't a big comic book reader when I was young. I read a Green Lantern here, a Richie Rich there. But, I never really dabbled much otherwise. But, being familiar with many of the DC characters I knew of Supergirl and a bit of her background. When she had a cameo toward the end of last year's Superman, though, I wasn't impressed. 'Great, a drunk party animal. Hilarious.' I thought it really distracted from the Superman movie I was trying to watch at the time by shilling for another movie still a year away.

But, that year has now passed and the movie opens Friday. Rotten Tomatoes still has no numbers posted yet, but the reviews should start coming in the next few days. And, while I'm a bit cynical when it comes to how good a trailer looks and how that predicts the movie's quality itself, I must admit that I am intrigued by the trailer.

If you haven't seen it yet, give it a watch. I don't know, maybe it's just the song they use....

1. I can't remember the last I went to see a movie in a theatre

The outrageous price of a ticket and everything else once you’re inside turned me off to it forever. I have better things to spend my money on besides getting ripped off for a couple hours of entertainment,

2. I take advantage of the discount Tuesday prices at my local Regal and Cinemark theaters.

It's $6 on those days for members, plus discounts on concessions, though I never spring for much more than a soda, which is also about $6. Sometimes I'll smuggle in a box of Raisenets that I can get at Kroger for only $1.50/box.

It's worth it to me, but we all have different spending priorities, and YMMV.

5. So, you never even caught one of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies on tv?

Not casting any aspersions, just curious.

I never watched the tv show, so I can't render any opinion. I know it ran for several seasons. Maybe if the movie's decent I'll circle back and give it a go. Looks like there'd be 126 eps to wade through, so it would have to be good to warrant that sort of time commitment.

7. Sorry, I got confused for some reason and thought you were talking about the Supergirl tv show, so I responded as such.

MeTV shows the old Superman tv show every Saturday night right after they show an episode of the original Star Trek. Yeah, I can see how, even 70 years ago, it would have been seen as a bit hokey.
