    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    Ha ha ha .... exactly.....know your audience. ;) Also....let Bruce Wayne be the cool guy with his secret identity. Clark can be the dork. The difference will be cool when we see them onscreen together in a "I wish" World's Finest movie some day [crosses fingers]. Ah...brings a tear to me...

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    I'm with you on the disappointment of the Lex girlfriend and the over-all quality of the film. Was hoping to be awed. But I disagree with your preference for Clark Kent. I happen to like geeky and timid Clark Kent version for several reasons. One reason is, it is such a big contrast to the...

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    I don't mind the end not being a big action slugfest, but I did want to be more cleverly written. Well, weird things happen. Sometimes I see a movie and think, "I bet the people on the boards will really like this movie/tv show." Then I come here and people are bashing on it. Or vice...

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    I'll give it a 5 out of 10. Fairly underwhelming. Not a bad movie,but nothing fantastic....or even semi-fantastic. Pros: -Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth are good. I like their performance. -Special Effects are good. -Love the homage to the beginning sequence of the old Superman movie...

    Rate X-Men: The Last Stand [no spoilers]

    I gave it a 5. The first X-men film a give a 6, the second one I give a 7. There some nice moments that were cool, but over all I felt the execution was a tad sloppy and the battles with mutant powers not fully realized. Certain turning points for character relationships felt unrealistic as...

    Tekken, Castlevania, and Pac-Man movies confirmed.

    I disagree with this style of matching directors to movie projects. Just because Anderson did two video game movies doesn't mean he's the natural choice. Mortal Kombat was sort of passable (I think it was due to the extreme failures of its peers that it seemed to be a better movie than it was)...

    Earthsea to be animated

    I love anime, but I gotta say...if I were trying to get someone to fall in love with anime like me, I would never show them the movies you just listed. ;) Half that list is old old old ...whew. Anyways......a studio ghibli made translation of Wizard of Earthsea? I'm automatically on board...

    Can computers predict which movies will flop?

    About the computer formula: I used to work under a movie studio for a few years (in their tv dept.) and I remember being at one function once where I over heard a conversation about a formula studios actually use. Maybe someone else that works in the industry here can confirm or elaborate on...

    The movie indrusy is racist aginst dwarves. (rant/ humor)

    I've played a lot of fantasy mmporpg games with my group of friends. Most of which have dwarves (or dwarfs) in them. Its interesting to me, that a few times (from friends that don't regularly read fantasy novels) I hear they can't imagine why someone would pick a dwarf for their character. I...

    New Superman Returns Pics!

    I don't mind the youth of the actors. I did at first, then I went to the San Diego Comicon where Singer talked at the panel there. A fan asked the same question, "why cast so young?" He basically answered that when you're planning to do a new series of movies, its good to cast them young so...

    Videogames that you'd like to see made into movies.

    -Metal Gear Solid -King of Fighters -Castlevania ( I agree with that one) -Rainbow Six (but rumor has it, they are indeed working on one...hope its true - but does that count as a video game transition or a novel one?) ... and i would love to see the following video games movies redone...

    Forbes rank the 15 riches FICTIONAL Character!

    Jed Clampett is richer than Bruce Wayne? Hmm...which version of Wayne they going off of? ....but Richie Rich does indeed belong up there in the top 3. Used to read the comics when I was younger and that guys is silly wealthy.

    What, no Aeon Flux buzz?

    Granted I understand the comments about the movie probably being sucky, but this whole "Charlize Theron isn't all that pretty " thing I'm totally lost on. I agree Jessica Simpson is over-hyped ....but I think Charlize (like many other actresses) is very beautiful. I mean come on guys, you're...

    Movies which surprised you.

    Okay, what scene is everyone referring to? To me, I'm thinking there's probably like two things that would surprise the watcher of the original series. Trying to think of which one you guys are talking about.

    "Serenity" SE-DVD question

    Oh I agree. It should look shabby. But by cheap , I don't mean dirty or used looking. The sets and props in "Aliens" are very dirt and beat up but they don't look cheap. By cheap I mean .... either one or all of the following: not enough money spent on top artists that can bring cool unique...

    "Serenity" SE-DVD question

    Keep in my mind, this is entirely in my opinion (or cheapness standard which may vary from others): Star Trek: TNG , newest Battlestar Galactica. What's your opinion on the look of Firefly (and the Serenity movie)? Because he's the director. Do I know how much input he had on the art...

    "Serenity" SE-DVD question

    I totally agree John. It is totally a hard concept to sell in a few seconds. As the movie came out, I had not seen a single Firefly episode. I didn't go see Serenity either. Let me tell you want happened with my group of friends and I. A story I'm sure will get a few tomatoes thrown at me from...

    Rate The Brothers Grimm

    I also gave it a 3. The one French guy assigned to follow the Brothers had the worst accent. 99% of the time I couldn't understand a word he was saying. The tempo of dialogue was all jittery. I couldn't relax and watch the film. So was the cutting. Its subtle, but after a while it gets on...
