A friend sent me this link today. Some interesting info about the movie! There are some spoilers, but probably no more than we'll see on the movie trailer when it comes out. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9189573/site/newsweek/ Heh ... the plot reminds me of several L&C fanfics. <g> Kathy

Yeah, I love the way they're all so danged pleased with themselves for being so 'original'.  Hey, maybe we'll see one of those Harry Potter type court battles - "Those gits stole my story!". I mean, how could they prove they hadn't Google'd 'Superman' and read them online?  LabRat

Yeah, I think I've read this story But I'm glad you posted that, Kathy; it's made me feel more positively about the movie than I have for... well... ever, I guess. PJ (love your sig quote, Labby -- are we grasping at straws or what?)
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

(love your sig quote, Labby -- are we grasping at straws or what?) I think it was pretty clever of them. Vague enough to suit all viewpoints.  Personally, I was finding the episode pretty mediocre up till that point. Then, my shippy radar pricked up its ears and went...hel-lo... LabRat

I'm not real anxious to see this movie as I think their choice of Superman is a complete flaming, boytoy...HOWEVER reading about Kevin Spacey as Lex, now THAT sounds like a winner!! OMG! I can just picture him driving around that lot in his "Lexmobile" with the bullhorn TEEEEEJ

I'm sure posting in Fanfic Related would get you a slew of titles, Snarla. There have been many stories over the years (which can be found on the Archive) which have dealt with Clark going away (to NK, or losing time somehow, or L&C meeting in their younger days and being separated by circumstances) and returning to find Lois has a child already. Off the top of my head, I can think of Sheila Harper's fabulous "Faster Than A Speeding Bullet" (there was an original version set I believe in S3, then a post-marriage reworking of it for TUFS) and ML Thompson's "Without Checking the Water Level". The first NK story like that which comes to mind is Piper's "Three Grandmothers" (though that's a bit different, because Clark doesn't come back). I know I've read many others, though. Start a thread in FF Related, and I'm sure others' memories will be better than mine this morning. Kathy

Kathy, when I read the title of the thread, I thought you were going to tell us about a Lois and Clark movie - starring, of course, Teri and Dean (wishful thinking obviously). So now my heart is shattered and I'm left to pick up the pieces . ML

Ooh! This looks promising. Even if the plotline sounds awfully familiar. Yvonne
