Phantom Stranger has since posted some more direct
evidence of Krypton being in another galaxy (Jor-El
dialogue), and I'm still very vaguely remembering a
reference by Superman to Lois, perhaps in the rooftop
interview scene with them. At the beginning of Smallville
season 5, Clark also tells Chloe Sullivan that Krypton is
in another galaxy, though he has no personal knowledge
of that. With the series ongoing it could be retconned
that he didn't know the exact story (see a possibility later).
In any case the first Reeve movie does seems to have
started the intergalactic ball rolling in Superman, and not
in a good way IMO.

I don't think so, and never did. Few in the audience of SR could tell you
what a galaxy is, which is the nearest to us, which one we live in, etc.
Often, when someone says galaxy he *means* solar system, and someone here
includes all the actors and characters in all the Superman movies. It could
be claimed quite rightly that if a character says galaxy it's reasonable to
assume he means galaxy. But, believing he really means solar system creates
few problems with continuity and solves many.

I'm going to pretend that you didn't say that, just for my own sanity.

I mean, seriously, are we really going to let major lapses go because
we know that somewhere out there some idiot doesn't know his ass from
his elbow? Just because there are morons who cheerfully go on
Jaywalking to display their ignorance doesn't mean we should allow
filmmakers to get away with putting retarded **** in their movies.
