If you're wondering why anyone would do such a thing, I'm not actually sure. It seems eccentric at best.

I know part of it was Sean T. Collins, who maintained a daily blog for an entire year about the movie Road House. (Since compiled into a book called Pain Don't Hurt.) I remember asking myself, if I were to try something similar, what would it be? Which movie could I write about with that kind of confidence? And one that hasn't already been exhaustively strip-mined for commentary?

I first saw it when I was three years old. I've seen it enough times since then to have it more or less committed to memory. The answer was obviously SUPERMAN.

I succeeded in my project. I tweeted 982 times, over the course of 365 days, covered 34 topics, for a grand total of 45,469 words, all about this one movie. I learned more about SUPERMAN than anyone rightly needs to know. And I ended up deleting the whole thing.

Anyone familiar with the situation at that time can probably make some educated guesses as to why. Let's just say Twitter never was the healthiest online space, but, in late 2022, it was getting especially foul.

Fortunately, I saved everything I wrote. Most of it, I stand by. On some of it, my perspective has evolved. Here, I present all of it, unabridged and (mostly) without revision. Make your own judgments.
