Do you realize the only "minority" character was a pimp?!
" That is a bad OUTfit!"

I think we need to cgi in some 'diversity' .
Ahaaaahaasas!
Brm


I'll bet he was an influential pimp; he certainly made a profound impact on our Sigerson Holmes' life!

I feel like I've already posted this here before, but someone loved the movie so much that he transcribed the entire Petrou book and posted it online:

You gotta hand it to them for their dedication! I'll skim the pages, as it were, but a proper book would be preferable.

How about DC Comics' making-of publication? I never knew this existed.

Is it worth tracking down? I was a mere 8 years old in 1979, so the restrictive $2.50 price tag would have been more than my meager allowance could bear, and I know I didn't have the patience to save my dough, and I would have plunked down for two $0.40 Superman comics and some Atomic Fireballs instead.

I have this one too - and I'm glad I still do. But I haven't looked through it in years, so don't know if it's worth it.

EDIT: Apparently I am mistaken or I have mislaid it. I do have the Merit Publications photo album, which is enjoyable.

I've ordered hundreds of comics from these guys, Superman and Action Comics included.

Meanwhile, the wait for a re-release of Superman: The Movie's score continues...

Mine's in some box in the closet. Haven't looked at it in years either.

I have at least 2 copies of Superman by Williams that are mint and unopened. Last time I looked they were doing nicely collecting dust.

My trusty iPhone keeps his music alive though.

CD or LP? If they're the former--specifically disc 1 of the Rhino 2-disc set--it probably won't play properly.

If they're LPs, that's good in a "I-was-there-for-Superman-Mania-in-'78-and-'79" kind of way. I never owned the LP.

I still have mine, in french. I suppose it was published in many countries. A fine collector item, printed in large format, but the editorial content is close to a press kit, oriented to the general public. Do not expect revelations...

It looks to be on the pricey side! Better hang onto those, boys!

Nothing will ever beat the blue box, but those Superman scores, all 4 movies, do deserve their own cd release and time in the spotlight.

There are now less than 100 copies of the blue box and that's the end for this release.

I just picked one up on ebay for $10 bucks plus shipping, which was about my limit. I gotta see it again, to see if I did have it before.

"Out with the old (edition), in with the new (editions)."

At least that's what I'm hoping. smile

I'm hoping your Rhino was an exception, not the rule. I plan to get mine out and test it, but it's going to be a few days before I can do that.

It won't matter too much either way, because my digitized versions of all the Superman CD editions are fine. The physical CDs are saved as souvenirs and backups of last resort.

Yes. I would be interested. Let me email you back.

Sadly, WB's quality control also extends to their DVDs of a certain vintage:

I've been playing the heck out of my recently-(re)bought copy of the Rhino Superman. I'm using it as an interim copy until (or if) the 40th anniversary release happens.
