Oh yeah, we can see the resemblance

Wow — you go for a few weeks without any Enron-related news goodness, and then, in the same week, you get Jeff Skilling eating worms and Ken Lay inspiring Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor in Superman Returns. Here's the item from the NY Post:

IF Lex Luthor seems more evil than usual in "Superman Returns," which opens June 28, you can thank the disgraced former chairman of Enron. Kevin Spacey, who portrays the Man of Steel's biggest nemesis, tells the London Evening Standard: "There's a lot of Ken Lay in him this time. He is more smartly dressed than I think we have seen him looking before. I like to call the look, 'General Rommel goes to dinner.'"

Can't you just imagine imagine Luthor, needing a little extra money in his devious plot to destroy Metropolis, drawing millions of dollars out of a specially created loan fund at LexCorp? While you're waiting for the movie to hit theaters, check out the Evening Standard's full interview with Spacey (via Loren Steffy).
