Guess 'The Man Who Could Work Miracles' is in the public domain
One of my favourite old' ti-mee movies from the 1930's, so, not a rip-off an homage?
shareThank you. I thought I would be the only one to remember that movie.
shareSo that makes three of us then ;^> I remember catching the film on TV as a kid, I wasn't that interested to begin with as it was black and white, but I was off school ill, and not well enough to get up and change the channel, one of the rare occasions being ill has been better for me than being well LOL

Did you ever notice that people who believe in creationism look really un-evolved?
Same here, - I just saw a trailer for this film, and it is clearly a rip-off.
shareYou're not the only one. I remember it very well -- and I'm only 68.
The idea isn't new -- Bewitched is a bland variation on it. It's almost always played for laughs, and if not, the treatment usually ends in disaster. "Humans lack the wisdom to use unlimited power." That doesn't seem to apply to the Q Continuum, who get away with it.
This is an odd coincidence, because I'm about to send a letter to Christopher Nolan, urging him to let me present a treatment in which Superman gains god-level powers (through physics, not fantasy), and proceeds to start taking down the real villains of the world.
I suspect this will be one of Terry Gilliam's duds.

In fairness the Q aren't human, just humanoid in form...sometimes.
