I personally always loved the Christopher Reeve movie " Somewhere In Time ", it really was a excellent movie.

Regarding the Superman "curse, " I always thought it highly coincidental that the first two men who became famous for playing the role had essentially the same last name (minus an "s"), and they suffered the most legitimately tragic fates.

One of the strangest ones for me is Edwin Booth (the older brother of john wilkes booth) and the most famous actor in the world at the time, saving the life of Robert Lincoln, the president’s son, seconds before he would’ve been crushed by an oncoming train.

Passion of the Christ was, and is, the most moving and realistic portrayal of Christ I've ever seen. I bawled my eyes out when I saw it in theaters.
I was not the only one.
It got a standing ovation from a room packed with people. Not a single chair was empty.
I'll never forget it. 💖

What was strange is Christopher Reeve played a quadriplegic character in the movie "Above Suspicion". His last movie before actually becoming a quadriplegic.

You’re born with scoliosis. You may not have a curve in your spine at birth but it develops as you grow. Linda Blair would have had it, and it definitely wasn’t caused by being slammed around a bit. Otherwise everyone that was ever on a the gravity field ride, or rode on a zipper ride, or a roller coaster would have scoliosis.

25:14 🏇Christopher Reeve was allergic to horses. He had to take allergy shots just to be around them shooting Somewhere in Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. I wish he’d taken that allergy as a sign to stay away from them. 🏇

I was on military leave in Cologne Germany from Iraq, I went into a shop at a mall connected to the train station and the very first hat I picked up was made in my home state Rhode Island! Later I took pictures of a 300 year old cathedral behind the station and when transferring to my laptop I noticed a spirit halfway up floating just outside the church, it looked like a pope or bishop offering something with there hands outstretched.

The James Dean car “curse” was the subject of a Supernatural episode. It was one of my favorite episodes.

[troot]

What about Lincoln had a Secretary with the last name of Kennedy and Kennedy had a Secretary with the last name of Lincoln.

[kelseyholt]

Dean was not technically at fault in the accident. The teenager driving the other car turned in front of him. However, there is speculation that between the speed and the low body style and silver color of the car, it would have made the car very hard to see.

John Schneider played the dad on "Smallville" which was a Superman-based show. His ex-wife dragged him through the mud financially, his compound in Louisiana was hit by a storm causing major damage, he was in jail for a few days for not paying alimony due to all the financial issues, and his current wife died. Sounds like the Superman curse is alive and well!! UGG!!

FDR was an old man. He didn't have the healthiest of lifestyles. He didn't want to run again. He wanted to spend his final years in retirement, but felt that he needed to stay in office with everything that was going on.

I noticed the date on the New Yorker Magazine was November 22, 1941. 22 years later another major tragedy happened.

Way to go Sir Isaac. The most trouble I ever had with math was Calculus.😢

[jedilegoarts]

Alec Guinness was always strong with the force.

In an astonishing coincidence, many actors who played Superman got old and faced hardships. Ironically, this curse has extended to people who had nothing to do with the role. Coincidence? 😮 😮 😮

Regarding The Passion... cold temperatures do not cause pneumonia. The actor getting chilly did not "almost cause him to get pneumonia". How do you "almost get pneumonia"? That's like saying someone almost got herpes. Or almost got cancer. You either have pneumonia or you don't. You can't almost get it. As for the lightning strikes.. you can clearly see that they are filming on mountain tops and elevated terrain. They also would be the only spot on that elevated terrain where there would be metal light poles, camera rigging, sound rigging, electrical cabling lying around, etc. There is nothing strange about people standing on a hill top holding metal poles in their hands and getting hit by lightning.

A person doesn't invent math. It is discovered.

Webber did two shows, Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. Godspell went from a university project to the off Broadway Cherry theater to movie very quickly for something that small. The final scene in JCS the flock of sheep was not planned. As they were shooting the sunset, they just walked into the shot. Norman Jewison thought it was a good sign. I thought it was a sign of approval from above.
