    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    That's it. I think I stopped collecting JLA right after that. It was when Kelly introduced that dream machine so he could do imaginary stories. After JLA, I swore I'd never buy anything by Kelly again. Yuck!

    Let the Batman sequal rumors begin...

    Initially, I thought Adrian Brody would be a good Joker. However, Crispin Glover would be good, too. Both certainly look the part, and Glover can play "manic crazy".

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    Wasn't there a JLA story like this a while ago? The JLA went missing and Batman had a secret program to recruit a new team?

    Land of the Dead

    I saw on IFC (Independent Film Channel) that Tom Savini is also reprising his biker role, Blades, from Dawn Of The Dead for a cameo, this time as a zombie. Savini said that his character was a zombie for about a year at this point (how long does it take for a zombie to decompose?! :uhoh: )...

    Clash [JLU] - SPOILERS

    That sucked. Captain Marvel is so much cooler. :) Now all we need is a Captain Marvel cartoon. He's an interesting enough character to support a series.

    Who would you cast as Wonder Woman?

    No, not really. The original Golden Age WW was Princess Diana. The current "Golden Age" WW is the modern day Queen Hypollita who travel back in time (Paradise Island is apparently a giant time machine or something). And her invisible plane was a clear, plastic glob capable of changing shape...

    No, just between films that have a dozen dead toddlers and dismemberment and those that don't. :)

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    Like I said, I was always talking about toys for the very young, and also that I feel that superheroes are kind of different than movies. Those were my positions all along. :D And don't forget that not all movies that share a rating are exactly the same. FF and The Ring are both rated...

    The difference is that, for Star Wars, the things you mentioned grew from the movies. For Spider-Man and Batman, the movies grew from the comics. So, for those two, if you see some merchandise, it isn't necessarily linked to any one movie in particular. The Star Wars controversy isn't just...

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    Well, both Spider-Man and Batman are a different case since they existed before the movies and aren't necessarily dependent on them. For example, I saw a Playskool(?) Spider-Man set that featured the Lizard. Aside from a cameo by Dr. Conners, he wasn't in Spider-Man 2. And what Batman movie...

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    To which I say... ;) I can't recall that many PG-13 or R movies that had toys aimed at the pre-school set. Maybe Jurassic Park? That's the only one I can think of. It's not vile, just a bit hypocritical. There's an online store that sells all manner of things from Japan. Apparently...

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    Um, it isn't. :\ You seemed to have missed my, and the critics, point. Lucas says they shouldn't see the film, then targets them. I'm sorry if you can't understand why some people think it hypocritical of him. An analogy would be to Sammy Davis, Jr performing in segregated night clubs...

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    I don't understand arguments like this. They somehow assume that criticism of something Lucas does is some kind of personal attack. You can legitimately criticism someone and not "take shots" at them. It ultimately comes down to the "haters" argument again, because no criticism of Lucas can...

    I do think he crossed the line when they advertised the Anakin toy as having "realistic youngling killing action". ;)

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    *sigh* We're not doing the "Lucas Haters" thing again, are we? I swear, Star Wars fanboys are worse than Star Trek fanboys. :eek: Look, when Lucas does interviews stressing how dark his film is and warns that it may not be suitable for kids, entertainment reporters and critics are going to...

    Wild, Wild West, another PG-13 film, had a Burger King Kids Meal, too. Anyway, just because other people have done it, doesn't make it right. Especially, when you make a big deal about how "dark" your film is.

    Star Wars Scratch Lottery Tickets

    During a review for RotS, someone pointed out the hypocrisy of Lucas making the film PG-13 and warning parents that they shouldn't take little kids, while simultaneously marketing it to kids with toys, Burger King Kid's Meals, etc. Lucas wants to have it both ways. It's for kids when he wants...

    Who would you cast as Wonder Woman?

    I read somewhere that Katie Holmes said she wants to be Wonder Woman (probably in a Batman-related interview). Hopefully, that doesn't happen. She's attractive, but really doesn't fit the part. I'd pick a younger Salma Hayek or Lucy Lawless. I'd love to see Gabrielle Union in the costume...

    "The Simpsons" Movie confirmed

    I stopped laughing around season 10. There have been a couple funny episodes here and there, but it's not the same show it used to be. :(
