Christopher Reeve died yesterday. He always seemed like a great guy, even before his equestrian accident. As a huge fan of Superman comics as a kid, he was the personification of the character. No one who played Superman before or since has been as good. I guess it's rather ironic that a man who represented someone invunerable was so vunerable himself. Probably my favorite Reeve film was not Superman, but Somewhere in Time. He played a man who fell in love with a stage actress from the early twentieth century. He discovers a way to travel through time to meet her at the Grand Hotel in Michigan where she is acting in a play. I've watched that film about six or seven times, and every time it touches me in some way. I think that I'll watch it this weekend.
