Nothing can stop him. He can star in movies from the grave.

I can't think of a big-name movie I'm less interested in.

I think I'll always associate Christopher Reeve with Superman. Then again, Christian Bale breathed life back into the Batman franchise, IMO.

I remember reading a short story by Connie Willis several years ago that centered around a young woman struggling to make it as a "real" actress in a near-future Hollywood in which virtually all films were cast with digital recreations of long-dead actors. Seems like we're getting there.

Considering there are supposedly computers that can learn to imitate people's voices, I've always wondered if you could feed an actor's dialogue from al his movies to teach it.

Sounds like an interesting concept. I suppose with the advancement of technology it's possible. Like the AI type voice you hear when calling a bank, and you tell it your account number and it reads back the digits and letters. If you were able to get voice clips of an actor and retrieve every letter in the alphabet...

My (amateur) guesses are the change in voice over age as well as inconsistency of inflection would cause problems for the programs, though.

Superman sucked. Christopher Reeve was a sucky actor. This movie looks sucky so far and they totally didn't update Superman's lame ass look. Brandon Routh looks like he's 15. All I see is a whole lot of suckitude.
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."
