The widely-admired Superman, which has a 93% Rotten Tomatoes rating, opened last Friday.

It wasn’t easy, but I’ve managed to not see Waiting for Superman for several months running. I missed it at Sundance, Toronto, and at last weekend’s Hamptons Film Festival. All of these misses were obviously my fault. And yet I was never invited to a single Manhattan screening by Paramount or agency reps. Not once.

I’ll correct this situation sometime this week. I’l catch it at a commercial venue or get a screener for Paramount reps.
