New movies (and TV) seem to be lacking--oomph

Moriarity seemed to find The Punisher well worth the admission:

Suddenly I want to see it.

Eh, I'm relatively easy to please with movies, I guess. I don't expect them to be wonderful, just entertatining.

Same with me. I actually didn't mind the new episodes of Star Wars, but I also think that so many people have built up what they expect because of it, and... I don't know. I lost my train of thought.

Sounds like you're a Troma fan of "B" movies.

If S&H have to be a comedy, it should be done in the same cinema style of Kabukiman and the Toxic Avengers.

Don't know the word Troma, but no, I don't really like B movies (with a few notable exceptions.) I just don't mind relatively brainless "blockbuster" fare.

Troma Studio, known for their many "B" films (like the two film titles mentioned) and scream queens.

You want dreary? Talk to someone from Tampa.

I am looking forward to Troy at least (should be close to Gladiator in terms of overall quality). I am ambivalent toward most "super-hero movies (Punisher : etcetera). Spiderman 2 I'm not looking forward to, since I didn't care for the first one.

This may be blasphemous on this forum, but I prefer the action/adventure "historical" movies to science-fiction or fantasy.

I just Marvel would stop scraping the bottom of the barrel with its characters....Iron Man? Good. Werewolf-by-Night? Huh?

I hope that too. In the past a single comicbook adaptation that flopped meant a great decrease in intrest to do those kind of films with decent budgets. Nowadays the situation is better (because of the breakaway successes of Spidey and X-men), but why push it? Produce enough crap with b-class characters and you'll end up diminishing the whole superhero / comicbook movie genre.

And I for one want to see several more good such movies. In fact X2 is one of my favourite movies ever. Ok, I'll just shut up now
