It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s… the Super Bowl, and It’s Where the First 'Superman' Trailer Should Debut

Happy Thursday, folks!

Today, you received an email from me featuring an ad for the His Three Daughters trailer, so do me a favor and click on it, if you don’t mind. That way, I can afford to continue bringing you this labor of love. Thank you!

Last night, I watched the original 1990 movie version of Presumed Innocent starring Harrison Ford, which, naturally, offered a very similar story as the Apple TV+ series, though it was interesting to see the differences inherent in a two-hour film adaptation as opposed to a TV show that has 10 hours to unfold.

While I do think that the movie pulled off the twist ending with a bit more grace, I will say that the series was a much richer experience overall, though a big part of that, for me, may be because I think Jake Gyllenhaal is a much better actor than Ford. Don’t get me wrong, Harrison is the better Movie Star, but Gyllenhaal has a talent (my god… that closing argument!) that Ford simply does not possess — all due respect.

I’ve heard from a bunch of people who, like me, were a little let down by the Presumed Innocent finale, but my youngest brother loved it, so I suppose this thing was always bound to be divisive. You can’t please everyone…

In tonight’s newsletter, I suggest a marketing plan for James Gunn’s Superman, since DC won’t be hyping it at Comic-Con this week. I also have a little scoop about a hot new graphic novel from James’ brother, Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in Superman. No Bits & Bobs section tonight, I’ll pick it up tomorrow…
