Schnooperman


If you know anyone who's seen the new Superman movie ask them what they thought of it. The only thing that people can say is "it's just like the old ones but with better graphics". Really? who would have thought it? I was expecting it to be more like Emmaneulle 2 but with worse special effects. Yes, special effects, not graphics. Graphics are in games. This is a favourite topic of conversation between me and Mr Coick-Kicker.

Do the ladies featured in your article like to do naughty things to each other, like kissing and stuff?

I for one will not be going to see Superman because it is the same old nonsense about Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and Kryptonite; the writers had 56 years since the Christopher Reeve movies so couldn't they come up with new storyline?

Lex Luthor is the crappiest "super-villain" of all time. Even better "graphics" can't change that fact. And superman is the crapest of all superheroes, he's just to bloomin super.

There was nothing so super about Superman when he fell from his horse and got paralysed. Ha! He should have used his superpowers to fly before hitting the ground and then returning to beat the offending horse to pulp!

The best super-hero of all time was Starsky out of Starsky and Hutch. The best super-villian was the guy that imitated Starsky and even had a red and white car AND a partner that looked like Hutch. My favourite super-power of Starky's was his blue and white Adidas trainers.

That big woollen cardigan/jacket was also a super-feature of Starksy. Allegedly he knitted it overnight before his first day on on the set he would late confess to insiders that it helped calm his nerves before the big day.

Sadly the whole S&H series was spoilt some 20 minutes into the pilot episode when the skeletal frame of pimp Huggy Bear appeared. I cannot understand why someone as sensible as Dave Starksy would ever believe anything that deliquent pimp-come-stoolie said.

On the otherhand, his partner, Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson was obviously entranced by the seedy underworld of the token black informant as he spent much of his later career staring at it from the bottom of a bottle - luckily for Hutch (real name Hutchinson)found solace as tough guys in various episodes of 'Murder She Wrote'. David Starsky found it difficult to resurrect his life after saying goodbye to his LA police career instead turning to treading the boards in the theatre as a backstage wardrobe assistant while moonlighting as a knitting pattern consultant with Wooley Things magazine.

I did indeed knit my own cardigan; BTW does anyone have a spare main cog wheel for a Singer 120s sowing machine?
