Hi Queenie,
Oops. I guess it shows that although I enjoyed both versions of the movie, I am not a fan of it in the same way I am of L&C. I remembered both the shooting and the burn scene as revelations, and I went with the one that worked here. But I had forgotten completely that only one of the two versions had Superman consulting his mom -- and it was the burn scene version. Oops.
Consider my story taking place in a universe halfway between the Donner and Lester universes.
Joy,
Lynn
