Let's dust this one off for those who need a reminder. Past tense of "lead" is "led." It is NOT "lead," unless you're talking about the metal.
This is one of the most common editing corrections I have to make and it drives all of us who know the proper past tense batty to see it so often.

I have a billion words to say (and have written a fraction of them already) but, in the meantime, James Gunn made the exact film that the world needs right now. That it happens to be a Superman movie is a bonus.
So happy to be excited to be in the DC universe again.

You seem happier.
Thanks, I saw #Superman and I haven't stopped vibrating since. It's bright (brave) and bold. Every performance is spot on. It looks and feels magnificent. I have had plenty of time to sit with the film and—and I cannot stress this enough—I don't have a single complaint about it.

I'm always excited to hear about new games, but the reality is that I'm so far behind in gaming that I probably won't be getting around to any of them until they're available used for super cheap and everyone's debating which of the two sequels is better.

I enjoyed "Superman Returns" when I saw it in 2006...but rewatching it today, I don't think it's aged well. That's for a number of reasons, but mostly, it's just pretty dull. Still, it has one important lasting legacy, which I discuss in this month's Superman column: www.dc.com/blog/2025/05...

Rumors are that immersive Phantom in NYC will also be linear.

It's Superman Day and I realized I never shared my latest column. We've now gotten to "Superman IV" and...well, you can see why it ended the franchise. But have you watched it lately? It's surprisingly prescient in some fascinating ways. Read my thoughts on the DC website: www.dc.com/blog/2025/04...
“Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” is Surprisingly Prescient | DC
For all its flaws, Superman IV is actually a lot tighter and more focused than the other three films. It's also still strikingly relevant and in some cases, even prescient.

One thing my absence from Twitter resulted in was me completely missing this year's SDCC hotel lottery. I was already iffy on going this year, so I think this may be the final indicator that I should just stay home.
