Newsweek's David Ansen Can't Remember the American Way
Mon, 06/19/2006 - 2:02pm
In his review of Superman Returns, Newsweek's David Ansen can't bring himself to say truth, justice and the American way:
In "Superman Returns" (written by Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris from a story they cooked up with Singer), the caped crusader for truth, justice, etc.(Brandon Routh) returns to crime-ridden Earth after a five-year detour amid the remains of his home planet. [emphasis mine].
Is "American way," so much harder to right than "etc."? Was this a cost-cutting measure, saving 8 characters?
