Wow. I'd never put together that that was Vinny. Then again, I haven't seen that movie in many many years.

Yeah it seems pretty clear the movie is a flop. I guess I'm just wondering how the studio thought this picture would make it's money back? Did they just severely over-estimate how big the audience of the original cartoon was/is? Did they underestimate the competition (which would be really silly...

Can any of our resident Hollywood insiders offer some insight as to what the expectations around tinseltown are for this flick? I'm a little young to have caught Speed Racer when it was on TV, so this movie is at best a DVD rental somewhere down the road. Is opening in second where they figured...

Lol Batroc. Batroc the Leaper - Master of Savate! Whatta maroon... Reminds me of the issue of Cap I have where he infiltrates some super-villain fight club incognito and ends up fighting guys like Batroc and Tiger Shark and Flying Tiger (and Stilt Man I think). That issue also features Shang-ti...

Yeah Roth is the man IMO. As far as the special effects go, I did think they looked a little off, but they're still good enough for me to go see it. The story looks miles ahead of Lee's version at any rate. Besides, the trailers were probably made some time ago while the CG was still being...

I agree with you here. Luckily a friend warned me off U3 and so I've avoided it. Looks like I was wise to heed his advice. Frankly, I like the concept of having separate comic lines (like the Ultimate verse). It makes it easier for me to know what kind of stories I'm getting into ahead of time...

Don't forget M.O.D.A.M.!

It's funny, but while I mostly enjoyed The Ultimates, I find that I tend to enjoy comics more when they don't hide from their inherent goofiness. It just seems that the more seriously superhero comics take themselves, the harder time I have overlooking how ridiculous the inherent concept is in...

I think he's suing New Line over profits from LoTR, and as a side-effect it is affecting production on the Hobbit. I don't think he can exercise any direct influence over the Hobbit movie, though I think you are right about him not wanting any movies about his father's work (although I've heard...

**double post**

I'd like to see Simonson's Surtur Saga played out on the big screen, but I'm not sure how well it would translate. It would definitely be epic though. As far as Cap is concerned, I'd like to see someone a bit older play him. I think that would work well if they portray him as he is in The...

Saw it last night, thought it was fantastic. There wasn't a slow moment in the flick, and the acting (by everyone, not just Downey), plot, and effects were all high quality. I'm not really interested in spending a lot of thought ranking the comic book movies I've enjoyed, but it is definitely in...

I had a good chuckle. Tina Fey looked pretty nerdy in the flashback too. ;)

I've gotta say, I'm not on board with their selection for Short Story. I read them all, and that was the weakest one IMO. EDIT: That being said, it was still a very good story.

I'm not sure if the following will make you folks feel reassured or not. I've personally decided to not touch ASoIaF until the whole series is complete (he can thank Robert Jordan for that). Anyway, make of this blog post what you will: From here: http://grrm.livejournal.com/

Maybe Palpatine was onto something. Maybe the Jedi aren't that moral.

Personally I think it was just because he's such a big fan of samurai movies. ;)

I have a friend that studies Iaidō and he has always wanted to see them create a really innovative fighting style based on the "physics" of wielding a lightsaber. He pointed out that those things are likely very light, with whatever weight there is all in the hilt, have no "blunt" area, and can...

Yeah there is some cool info in Wikipedia about Jedi fighting styles (I think taken from the d20 Star Wars) that I would love to see integrated into some of the Star Wars media.

I believe I have seen those eps, so I would say that you did miss them.
