Pun intended, but I'm not lying about the article or the rejection - he really tried, bless him. It's nice to have a name to go with it when people throw out accusations of stagefright and whatnot... as you can find out from this link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paruresis - it's an ailment which affects almost 15% of males at some point!

If it is, as almost every reviewer would have us believe, the most relevant form of the judaeo-christian mono-myth going around then I think you can consider Superman Returns the re-Genesis chapter, and thus its length is unavoidable. If i'm honest I didn't even notice my legs were dead half-way through, and it's not like Singer overly indulges in a Superman 2-esque half-hour re-edited montage of the original Superman- his recreation of the early years is totally necessary, having (as it does)to fend off Smallville's 'alternative' version of the genesis process. Whatever, I'm being a pedant- and James Marsden does stinks up the screen like old raw chicken. <br> <br> So far as "selling out" goes, it's a bullshit concept that you'll only avoid if you a)are in a band that is good enough to not sign that lucrative deal or b) unwilling to work for anyone or anything, other than yourself. Basically, it's just another way of saying "no, I don't want to end up working in a starbucks."And i should know, I work for Borders.
