      Also Man of Steel, best live action Superman movie? The same movie where Superman doesn't even try to lure Zod to an open field with no civilians but instead fights in the middle of the city, destroying buildings left and right, most likely killing millions? The same Superman that has the personality of a rock? Yeah, no.

    The "dark side of the moon" isn't literally dark; it's called that because we can't see it from Earth because the moon is tidally-locked to the Earth, so the same side of it is always facing us. As the Earth and moon rotate, all sides get exposed to sunlight.

      Superman III is honestly a worse movie than Superman IV. Like yeah, the fourth one is still bad, but it's so bad that it's good. Superman III, on the other hand, was dreadful to watch. The only funny moment from it is the scene in the Olympic Games, other than that it's just Richard Pryor being unfunny and shoehorned deep down into your throat.

    Like, to be chained to a movie like that was embarrassing regardless of whether you were contractually obligated to or not.

    27:58: Isn't there a dark side of the moon that never gets light? Answer: No. The whole moon does get lit up by sunlight, at different times. The "dark side of the moon" refers to the far side of the moon that we never see from Earth. But it does receive light. There's always 1/2 the moon lit up. When we see the moon halfway lit, then the "dark side" is also halfway lit. When we see a small crescent moon, that means that the "dark side" is mostly illuminated. (I'm explaining bc it's interesting and worth understanding. And I think it's often not understood, especially bc the term is misleading "dark side of the moon," it gives the wrong impression.)
