Zio Paperone e la scorribanda nei secoli

English release: Money is the Root of Upheaval Literal: Uncle Scrooge and the scavenger gang through the centuries

by Jerry Siegel, Romano Scarpa, and Sandro Del Conte

After waking an Egyptian pharaoh from a millennia-long sleep, Uncle Scrooge summons Donald and Gearloose, eventually realizing that they can restore the pharoah to his rightful throne via a trip to ancient Egypt in Gearloose’s not-quite-finished time machine. That doesn’t go quite as planned, and on the way home, they manage to turn the future into a money-mint-land or somnethin’?.

Superman I

Superman

by Mario Puzo et al. , directed by Richard Donner

The humor didn’t quite click for me, but I did enjoy other parts including Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, the John Williams score, and a well-presented Superman mythos including his first time-travel rebellion against the don’t-mess-with-history edict of Jor-El.

As for the actual time travel, I had always assumed that the Man of Steel time traveled as he always did, via high speed, but in the extended edition of the movie, Donner states: “And he stops the world. And now it’s actually going backwards. Which means, none of this actually happens.” Is that right? Does he reverse the spin of the Earth? CJ Moseley has more to say on the matter over at the Time Travel Nexus.

Superman II

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

by Mario Puzo et al. , directed by Richard Donner and Richard Lester

Richard Donner, the original director of Superman II, was replaced partway through the production. Almost 30 years later, a DVD of the movie was put together including most of his footage and a time-travel ending that was pretty much identical to the end of Donner’s first Superman movie (and equally lame).

Jeepers, I have seen some faraway looks in my time, but with that look, you might as well be on the North Pole or someplace.
