In Megan Park’s wide-eyed, warm-as-the-waning-summer-evenings sophomore feature, My Old Ass, time itself is a trip.

With her last summer in the picturesque lakeside town of Muskoka, Canada, before she heads off to the University of Toronto,

Fixing Our Laser Eyes on the “Superman” Trailer Easter Eggs, Character Glimpses, and Krypto

The first trailer for James Gunn’s Superman soared into view yesterday, with Superman himself, played by David Corenswet, starting the trailer in a nose-dive into the arctic ice. It was an intriguing way for Gunn to re-introduce the Man of Steel, banged up and clearly in pain (when Superman is having trouble breathing, you know things are serious), in need of assistance from his super-pup, Krypto. While there’s little doubt that Krypto will be a major star,
