I'll grant you that there were anti-camp moments -- Luthor stabbing Superman for one, or Gene Hackman leaving Christopher Reeve to drown in his underground swimming pool with Kryptonite around his neck for two -- but it's balanced against the whole "Say it ... WRONG!" scene and such. That's my opinion.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-38542691134163233782008-07-15T11:22:00.000-05:002008-07-15T11:22:00.000-05:00Let me make sure I'm reading this right: are you s...Let me make sure I'm reading this right: are you saying you think Spacey's Luthor was campy? If so, I totally have to disagree with this. Sure, the background's the same Silver Age one from the first movies and, initially, that's always gonna be little less provocative than Luthor's current backstory in continuity (and Smallville). However, a man who guts Superman with a shiv is anything but "campy." FWIW, Spacey's Superman scares me more than Nicholson's Joker any day of the week. Ultimately, I don't think it's the Jokers vs the Luthors, but this new crop of interpretations vs the older ones.bkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946195400727987200noreply@blogger.com
