Well... Imo, EVERYONE is a freak, to some degree. There's no exceptions in life, but I won't bash the guy for being different- but I just think he shouldn't be so disrespectful when wearing the costume and putting it on tape for the world to see. The fact that he has a resemblance to Reeve makes the disrespect even worse.

The guy was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last week dressed as Superman with his bare legs exposed and covered in shaving cream and he was shaving them with a razor like a woman. Okay, that's not a freak I guess.

All I'm saying is that the idea of bashing people JUST because they're different than the norm or the majority isn't something I'm into. I'm pissed at the guy for what he's doing while wearing the costume and putting out in the world. Whatever he does in his own life sounds a little bizzare, but that's his thing.
So long as people don't do anything harmful to others, people should be allowed to be as weird as they want....... as long as they DON'T bother me (or dress up as Supes and do pornographic gestures in public where kids could see, like this guy did).

Of course he's nice... he's Jewish.

I was waiting someone to make that comment because I never really understood what she meant with that line.
"Of course, he's Jewish" - implies that Superman is nice because he's Jewish, and Jewish people are nice.
But she doesn't say that. She says her line more like "Of course he's Jewish", without the comma. So, this means either...
a) Only Jewish people are nice people. Well, at least according to that woman. If one say "he's a nice man, of course he's Jewish" it's heavly implying that no stinking Catholic, Protestant, Buddist, Muslim etc etc etc can be a nice man.
This proposes an interesting reflection on what Mankiewicz thought about gentile people. Food for thought...
OR
b) her comment about Superman being Jewish has nothing to do with him being a nice man. Maybe she looked closely at his "private parts" and had the misfortune to say her line immediatly after that other woman said "what a nice man", effectivelly linking the two comments together.
Even though in America the act of circumcision is widespread, so she couldn't have deduced he was Jewish just by looking at his schlong. Although she was at Niagara Falls and maybe was a Canadian citizen, and I don't know if Canadians like to remove skin from the penis of their infant babies. If so, a man without his "helmet" could only be Jewish, the lady could've thought.

I think people are making kindof a big deal about the way he acts, talking about him ruining Superman's image and all that, but he does seem strange. What exactly is the appeal of impersonating Christopher Reeve as Superman and then making a fool of yourself in public?

I saw an interview with this chap when I lived in L.A., when asked about his feelings on Chris Reeves accident he commented " When Reeve had his accident, it hit me about as hard as it hit him."...
Yeah fracker, except he was never able to walk again. You Piece of poop! I'm not as attached to Reeve as most here are, but that comment pretty much told me this guy was a douche bag!

I'm not sure what he's meaning to imply there.

I guess he was so "devastated" when he heard the news. That I can understand, a lot of people were sad/effected by it. But to compare your feelings with what Reeve was actually going through is nonsense. I saw it as just another way for this guy to "attach" himself to Reeve.

Yeah, well I suppose it's possible he didn't mean anything by it, but you saw the interview yourself and I don't know much about the guy.

^yeah, that guy is so... 'unlikeable'. ugh. Any way, I didn't want to start a thread just for this, and even though I'm not one of those who thinks Brandon is a Reeve clone, sometimes the resemblance between them is so eerie (in a good way). They are like cut from the same cloth. Edit: here is another example,

Great pics, stargazer! For my two cents, I'd prefer a whole separate thread for Routh as Reeve lookalike, with images to show the similiarities, though....

^Aw, so glad you liked them. And your wish is my command, but I'll do it tomorrow morning; too late right now for me.

From certain angles, Routh does resemble Reeve, only with a more sunken face and skinny neck.

Y'know, I used to think he had a skinny neck, but some of his recent pictures prove the man is getting MASSIVE! He's definitely not a guy I'd start trouble with.

"Of course he's Jewish!" always said to me the old lady saying it just KNOWS Superman's Jewish because she wants him to be. Like an old Jewish woman that wants her granddaughter to date another man. "Is he Jewish? He'd better be Jewish."

Check out this pretty good documentary for a look at these people who prowl the Hollywood streets dressed as famous characters soliciting tourists for money. www.amazon.com/Confessions-Superhero-Maxwell-Allen/dp/B000Y7ZHB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1276303698&sr=1-1They are essentially panhandlers dressed up as superheroes to lure people into approaching them. Many of them have psychological issues (duh) while others are trying to pay some bills while pursuing their acting dreams. I used to think they weren't doing any harm, but I've had to change my mind about that. I can see how people would feel harassed by them and the police have had frequent complaints about them which have sometimes led to arrests. Not to mention the companies that own these characters can't be happy to see them acting inappropriately. As for Superman, AKA Christopher Dennis...well, he's been discussed thoroughly on these forums before but basically, he's not doing the Superman character any favors and it sucks even more that he looks like an emaciated Reeve.

Christopher Dennis.....mild-mannered, huh? I distinctly remember a video of him dry-humping a prostitute (in costume).
