Intercepted images from Josh Schwartz's film starring Victoria Justice and some ginger scout who I wished had more screen time.
The title is misleading; there was no fun to be had in any size. At least the stars were leggy.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Fun Size
Intercepted images from Josh Schwartz's film starring Victoria Justice and some ginger scout who I wished had more screen time.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: "Superman: The Movie" Documentaries
Intercepted footage of three short documentaries about the making of Richard Donner's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (1978). They can be found on DVD and Blu Ray copies of Superman: The Movie.
TAKING FLIGHT: THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERMAN
This portion recounts how the Salkinds convinced Warner Bros to let them produce an A-list Superman film, attaching Mario Puzo, Marlon Brando, and Gene Hackman to the project, and one phone call to Richard Donner on the toilet made history.
MAKING SUPERMAN: FILMING THE LEGEND
Stories behind shooting two Superman films at the same time and the controversy over the Salkinds squeezing Donner out of the director's chair. And, I don't care what people say, I like '70s Margot Kidder regardless of her bipolar disorder.
THE MAGIC BEHIND THE CAPE
The crew explains the visual and special effects techniques used in the late '70s to make Superman work. A lot of scale models were made and Superman's costume was changed to a different shade of blue because the costume would have conflicted with the color of the special effects blue screen.
35 years later, MAN OF STEEL brings Superman back to cinemas in a new light on June 14th.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: The Sessions
Intercepted images from Ben Lewin's film based on an essay by Mark O'Brien.
Some might be put off by the sexual subject matter, but the film doesn't exploit sex or the handicap of the protagonist. Instead, the two help explore love and faith in a surprisingly light-hearted and mature way.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Robot & Frank
ROBOT & FRANK (2012)
Intercepted transmissions from Jake Schreier's film starring Frank Langella.
It's a nice, understated film with a lot of good performances. And it's nice to see great actors getting good roles in their old age.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Decoy Bride
THE DECOY BRIDE (2011)
Intercepted transmissions from Sheree Folkson's romantic comedy starring the lovely Kelly Macdonald, David Tennant, and Alice Eve.
It's enjoyable enough, but the parts are better than the whole.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Intercepted transmissions from Shane Black's film.
It must have been love at first sight for Shane Black and Robert Downey Jr., both of who would go on to work together again on Iron Man 3.
