    Samurai Champloo--any good?

    How about this? :) On an "anime samurai" note, has anyone seen Peacemaker? I've seen some clips of it and it looks pretty good.

    Batman Begins sequels to feature the Joker

    Adrien Brody? He looks the part.

    Lucas convinced Ep III will tank?

    Neither film bombed. However, AotC, considered by nearly everyone to be the better film, made less money than TPM. According to Box Office Mojo, worldwide, TPM made $924,488,301 and AotC $649,476,740 (and TPM did over $100 million more domestically). People who saw the first didn't like it...

    Lucas convinced Ep III will tank?

    This attitude probably explains why he cut Bai Ling out of the film. For those who don't know, she played a character called Senator Bana Breemu, but was cut after announcing she's posing for Playboy.

    Marvel & Sci-Fi presents Man-Thing

    I taped it when it aired and finally got a chance to watch it. And I have to say, I thought it was actually pretty good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't as bad as the reviewer made it seem. I was expecting Catwoman. On the plus side, it was well directed and had some nice cinematography...

    Liefeld to draw issues of Teen Titans. Comics fans mourn.

    I have to admit, I do get some strange enjoyment out of Liefeld's art. It's like watching a "so bad it's good" movie. I love seeing his version of "normal" people who are all as hideously huge as his superheroes. I remember his drawing of this old guy with grey hair and a mustache, a small...

    Kevin Smith review of Revenge of the Sith - Spoiler Filled

    Episode I sucked, but II was much better. I bought the AotC DVD, but I tend to skip over anything with Anakin and Padme (which is actually a bad thing since they are the leads). Like you, I'm hoping that Lucas found whatever he lost since the original trilogy for Ep III. I'll just be happy if...

    Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series

    That reminds me, I don't know if anyone's mentioned it here, but Kevin Smith is rumored to be an executive producer on the series: http://www.insomniacmania.com/news_default.php?id=1777 As for Clones Wars, I didn't like the animation either. I'm not a fan of Genndy Tartakovsky's designs. I...

    One Scene Movies

    I love that scene! :D Casshern has a couple good moments, but it's too pretentious. To paraphrase another review, if a major plot point in your film involves characters wandering around the mountains and stumbling upon an abandoned castle with an evil robot making factory in the basement...

    No talk about "The Batman"?

    If Gordon isn't around, how are they going to introduce Batgirl? Don't tell me she'll be Alfred's niece?! :eek:

    No talk about "The Batman"?

    I actually feel the opposite. I hated the new Bane, but liked the Joker. But, then again, I've always hated the Joker. I think it may be mostly due to his overexposure. I don't like the new series very much. I watched the Joker, Penguin, and Bane episodes, and I tried to watch the Man-Bat...

    Marvel & Sci-Fi presents Man-Thing

    I found one review of the movie: http://www.moviehole.net/reviews/1487.html "If film fans are let down with the result, imagine how the comic fans will feel: Not only is there really only the one fleeting appearance from the title character, but also his background story is almost near...

    What about Ensign Ro going undercover as a member of the Maquis? Or the 2-parter where Picard infiltrates a gang of, um, pirates, I guess, as "Galen"? I can't remember the details, but Riker ends up pretending to go rogue and the device the pirates were after was some kind of ancient Vulcan...

    Well, in that episode, she was kidnapped and forced to do it. The one that bugs me is when Dr. Crusher had to solve the murder of the Ferengi scientist. The whole plot revolved around her suddenly becoming a "metaphasic field" (or somesuch) expert. For one episode, she's incredibly interested...

    Marvel & Sci-Fi presents Man-Thing

    Actually, not true. Swamp Thing debuted in '72, Man-Thing in '71. Swamp Thing was influenced by writer Len Wein's story the previous year in DC's House Of Secrets (they probably worked that character in later Swamp Thing stories when they revealed there were previous Swamp Things). However...

    Your Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Shows!

    But I always thought that you were good in them. :) I really, really wanted to like Jack. It had some good ideas, but went a little too goofy. Plus, I could never get past the look of it (the recycled Hercules sets). It had a great theme song, though. And I like it's sister series...

    Marvel & Sci-Fi presents Man-Thing

    IIRC, it was supposed to go theatrical, then direct-to-video, and now it's going straight to TV. Doesn't fill me with much hope.

    Your Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Shows!

    Just sticking to live action shows (there are too many cartoons to count): Best (in no particular order) 1.) B5 2.) ST: DS9 3.) Kolchak The Night Stalker - It had robots, aliens, etc. 4.) Adventures Of Brisco County, Jr - time travel, the Orb, etc. 5.) X-Files Twilight Zone would probably...

    I don't know whether to cry like a baby or jump for joy!

    For those that think they've seen a bad Sinbad movie, nothing can hold a candle to Lou Ferrigno: http://imdb.com/title/tt0098333/

    Batman. Where to start?

    Not a Batman comic, but I loved Batgirl: Year One. Also, if you liked the original animated series, the comic based on it was great. I'm not reading the current series since I don't care for the new cartoon.
