So is that the TV show or the 3D versions of the movies? or the new Clone Wars series? I'm guessing the third. Be interesting to find out more about the Omen remake, the trailer wasn't too bad (even if it's obviously filmed expressly for the trailer and won't be in the film). Also interesting about Cars, for the opposite reason.
-
I mean, they're just not showin' up, are they?
-
The 30th anniversary directors box set(drool)??? The T.V. show? A freaken cartoon? What?? Would it kill U to go into detail a litte!!
-
It's gonna be great! Singer has a lot of passion for this project. I'm lookin foward to seeing him fly again! Just hope that suit flies in the movie.
-
I am so fucking THRILLED that I've already got my tickets. Looks like I'm gonna have to get a bigger memory card for my camera!
-
WTF? New *Doctor Who* on SciFi premieres on March 17th. When is *Eureka* premiering? Lame.
-
Noticed you left that out. Sounds like an awesome event, I'll be there for sure!
-
The most eagerly awaited film of 2006? I see nothing at all to attract me or anyone I know to Superman Returns. The star, the story, the supporting cast (sorry, even Spacey isn't enough to get me interested in this train wreck.) I might buy this thing on the Clearance rack at Wally world sometime in the distant future, but only to put it next to 1998's 'Godzilla' and other testaments to personal agendas allowed to show in movies. My biggest regret is that it is too late to change anything by bitching about it. I guess I'll just show my disgust by not seeing it.
-
I bet they show the Superman Returns trailer. FANTASTIC!
-
it will be the highest grossing film of the year!...I can't wait to see it...you do what the hell you want..this film will rule 2006

Sweet...

Yeah, it'll probably suck, because it looks and feels really

But we haven't seen that much yet, so we'll see. saw...

...there will be SO MUCH news leaked at this convention that we'll all be having little geek orgasms for days. This is the PRESS RELEASE, not an event recap. If they told you what was going to happen before hand there wouldn't really be any point in going, now would there?

go FUCK yourself, which i'm sure is a common ocurrence b/c you haven't seen a naked woman since the Clinton administration.
