Man of Steel Drinking Game (movieboozer.com):
Take a Drink
- Whenever you check your watch.
- Every time you are reminded of Independence Day, The Matrix, Avatar, or any other movie. (For me that includes Troll 2, because Russell Crowe popping up to help Lois in one scene reminded me very much of Grandpa Seth—I realize I am probably the only person in the world to make this correlation.)
- At every “subtle” religious metaphor.
- Every time pop-up Russell Crowe appears.
- Every time Michael Shannon bugs his eyes out.
- At every obvious product placement.
- When Superman does. (Yes, Superman drinks a beer in this movie. I don’t so much have a problem with the fact that he does, but Budweiser? Really Superman?)
- Every time someone says “codex.”
- When you hear a song from the Singles soundtrack.
Take Two
- When they don’t even try to make it a metaphor.
Do a Shot
- If you catch the one nod to Lex Luthor. (Whom I predict we’ll be seeing more of in the next film.)
