Christopher Reeve's Superman Helped Me Embrace My Disability

It’s 1988, and I am in the hospital. In one of my earliest memories, I am fighting against a severe case of asthma. My immune system is weak because of my cerebral palsy. My Grandmother Gwen, brought me a Christopher Reeve-era Superman pillowcase. I spent days in that hospital bed, watching a VHS copy of 1978’sSuperman: The Movie. The Richard Donner film started a lifelong obsession with characters in capes. Like myself, Clark Kent was adopted, and my own parents were not dissimilar from Ma and Pa....

Dishmantled Review: Blast More of This Quibi Show Into My Face

Quibiis living up to every surreal expectation we could have imagined and I’m losing my mind over it. Everything on this network is like a throwaway30 Rockjoke come to life. The new streaming service delivers its content in 10-minutes-or-less chapters, which can be a detriment to something like, say,a show calledMurder House Flip. Turns out you need more than six minutes to tastefully discuss the murder and dismemberment of real people, no matter how nice of a gazebo you can build....

However, it’s still a valuable IP to Warner Bros., andlast October we reportedthat HBO Max was developing a series based on the character withGreg Berlanti,Marc Guggenheim, andSeth Grahame-Smithas executive producer and Grahame-Smith as the showrunner....
