Superman's Father Dies...Again

Glenn Ford, the man who portayed Jonathan Kent in the original Superman movie has passed away. Ford was 90. Apparently, he was in other movies. Who knew?

My favorite Jonathan Kent line from the movie (after noticing that young Clark Kent has been showing off a little):

" I know. You can do all these amazing things, and sometimes you think that you will BURST WIDE OPEN unless you can tell someone about it, don't you?... There's one thing I know for sure, son. And that is, YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON. I don't know what it is, exactly, but I do know this much: it's NOT to score touchdowns."

Ford delivered that line perfectly.
