I own it, I keep putting off calling that number, probably do it tomorrow, hopefully. Not that either thing really seems to be a huge deal... I mean I want the correct disks just to have the right thing, but I can't imagine I'm going to watch the commentary to Superman III too many times, haha.
But there's so much stuff in that box set, it's ridiculous really. If you want to see something really hilarious, or terrible, go check out the "Superpup" TV pilot from 1958 on the "You Will Believe" disc. Doesn't take long to see why that thing never aired, haha. I thought the behind the scenes documentary for Superman Returns was excellent too. There's still so much stuff I haven't watched yet though.
And I liked the Donner cut, kinda rough around the edges in parts but they definitely put heart into the movie. The Jor-El material might be the most powerful sequence in any of the Superman movies, and they cut it out because of money, that's crazy. That made the whole movie for me. It was pretty good considering what they had to work with really, also kind of sad to know how great it would've been had Donner been allowed to finish it. I'm sure some people have kind of put the first movie, the Donner cut, and Superman Returns into their own little trilogy now. I'm glad Bryan Singer will be allowed to make the knock-down blow out sequel Donner was never allowed to make.
