The Grauniad’s Kryptonite

I have never seen to many tortured, anti-American metaphors in a single Guardian item.

'Probably the most heterosexual movie I've ever made. Really'

If America's wars at home and abroad have imbued Superman Returns with something of a home court advantage,
Flawed assumptions forgetting the malaise of (Saint) Jimmy Carter, and working the entirely unrelated into a movie review:
