Writer of ZODIAC And SPIDER-MAN 4 Hired To Pen SPIDER-MAN 5 And SPIDER-MAN 6!!
I am – Hercules!!
Break out that Who’s Who In The Marvel Universe; Spidey’s going to need more villains.
James Vanderbilt, screenwriter of “Darkness Falls,” “Basic,” “The Rundown” and the first draft of “Spider-Man 4,” is already on board to script “Spider-Man 5” and “Spider-Man 6,” even if Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst aren’t signed to “5” and “6.”
Vanderbilt’s draft of “4” has already been rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire (“Robots,” “Inkheart”) and Gary Ross (“Big,” “Dave,” “Seabiscuit”), but I reckon Columbia liked something about that early draft. Plus? “Zodiac” rocked.
I do wish Columbia could work something out with Paramount, Fox and Universal so all the Marvel characters would cross over into each other’s movies. (Impossible, you say? Well, Universal controls Hulk and Paramount controls Iron Man, so I don’t know anything’s impossible as long as there’s a buck to be made!)
Find all of Variety’s story about the “Spidey” scripting here.

After Spider-Man 3.... will anyone care?
by isleptwithkathybatesandallthatigotwasthi
-
THE MOVIE. HAHAHAHA.
-
is that while they may be produced by different studios, Marvel still owns those characters and the rights to em. that probably made it easier to rangle a deal with them and the other crossover movies they're making. but all the other superheroes rights are owned by the movie studios so i think it would take a lot for them to consider doing crossovers. but if the iron man/hulk/avengers stuff does really well (and i'm sure it will) then maybe the studios will be more willing.
-
Very underrated and enjoyable little action flick.
-
Shitta lebouf the play Mega-Man!
-
and Spiderman 2 was a lame film. I think more people are seeing the light now. Two years ago, I would have been crucified for saying such 'blasphemy'. But we know it to be true. I'm not even the greatest fan of TDK, but it's fair to say that TDK & Iron Man expose how flawed Spidey 2-3 were. I honestly don't care anymore about Spidey. I liked the first one, hated the second and was bored by the third. They'd have to bring out a villain worth pursuing, and maybe change Maguire for someone else.
-
Sony says to Paramount, "Lend us Tony Stark and Nick Fury for one movie and we'll loan you Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson for another." Universal says to Fox, "Loan us Charles Xavier and Reed Richards and you can use Bruce Banner and Thunderbolt Ross."
You may call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. -

Marvel Studios produces and controls the Iron Man and Hulk films
by zzzardozzz
Not Paramount, not Universal. They are the distributors.

He was supposed to be one of the reporters interviewing Stark. How about brining in FF in Stark's world?

With Snipes back, come-on already...
Show Twilight what a real vampire film is!! prep can be done while Snipes is doing time..
Its easy money guys!! -

Forget me if I'm wrong Herc but didn't Mary Jane die in the last
by redjester
Forget me if I'm wrong Herc but didn't Mary Jane die in the last one???
So unless they are keeping Dunst around for flashbacks and possibly dream sequences, why would they bother signing her to another 1 (or 3)? -
Spider-man 1 = Very Good, Spider-man 2 = Masterpiece, Spider-man 3 = Complete and utter fucking failure on every level. Spider-man 3 should have and could have been The Dark Knight of that series but, instead, Raimi decided run everything right into the fucking shitter. I couldn’t fucking care less about seeing any more Spider-man movies from Raimi and I wish that the studio would just let the series rest for a few years and do a reboot ala The Incredible Hulk.
-
Marvel has the rights to Hulk as the reverted back to them. However, Universal retains distribution rights. The second Hulk film was produced by Marvel, distributed by Universal.

How do you know a movie blew? When you inadvertently create an alternate ending to a movie that happens to be better than the real ending and then convince yourself your made up ending is the one that actually occurred.
Btw, If the above sentence makes no sense it's because I'm really really stoned. My apologies. -

Five more hours of weightless CGI. Almost makes me wish for something like Hollow Man, when they were at least doing something different with the technology. Some sort of tidal wave needs to happen here, the defining aspects of this decade's popular films need to get swept away, and fast. Of course, that won't happen...unless the morons who keep paying to see these things get swept away also.

Double posts are awesome!

You will see no crossovers between Marvel Studios' independent p
by zzzardozzz
The great Marvel Movie Universe experiment is for the characters Marvel itself retains only. You might have seen a project like Avengers by now if Hollywood had ever been able to wrap its head around ideas that were novel when Stan Lee was using them almost 50 years ago.
Building a brand that's steeped in crossovers and shared universe stuff MAKES MARKETING EASIER. -

HERC, sorry buddy, you are SO wrong about who controls what . .
by lazerman21
IRONMAN is controlled by MARVEL, and has a Distribution arrangement with paramount, while UNIVERSAL gave back the rights to HULK after their movie flopped, allowing Marvell to take control and make THE INCREDIBLE HULK, with Universal Distributing .. HENCE why Tony Stark could be in THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
-
Nothing against here...but I simply never bought here as Mary Jane. Look at the comic Mary Jane...then look at her.
-
I hope Sony does reboot this franchise after part 4.
-
When they did a butchering on the Death of Gwen Stacy. Probably the greatest Spider-Man story ever and it will never be adapted to a movie.
Part 3 was just the natural conclusion of that colossal fuck up. -
...That's why you got to see IRON MAN Robert Downey (Paramount movie) appearing at the end of HULK (Universal movie).And to RedHorseVector, the reason you'd be a movie exec willing to pay four separate star salaries IS because you could have a mammoth hit on your hands FROM putting so much star power together, much like the OCEAN 11 films did rake in some seriously nice coin (star salaries aside) for Warner Bros, once domestic and international box office was tallied up. Besides, at this point in time, I think it's pretty obvious Marvel has absolutely NO intention of giving up on their master plan to build all of these films into at least one AVENGERS movie. They're going for the gold ring on this one. And in the end, while the AVENGERS movie may or may not be good, it will certainly be every comic fan's wet dream to see it finally come to life and to have seen it built up this way.
-
Don't ever look at the comic book MJ. Even worse than Peter marrying her in the 80s was turning her from a hot ex-go go dancer and failed actress into a super, ungodly hot super-model. WTF? Talk about destroy Peter Parker's Everyman quality.
If i was a supervillain I would try to kill him just for bitching about his life while he gets to go home and fuck someone as hot as Marissa Miller.
"Yeah, your fucking life is tough web-head. Have you met my wife, Mrs. Octopus? She friggin' 300lbs and has boobs that hang past her God damn knees. No wonder I was trying to score with your Aunt, she was a fuckin' improvement over that hag." -
Sony's made their intentions clear: if the current creative team don't want to come back for more sequels, they're eager to flush everything they do in this fourth movie down the drain and recast so the series can continue. Spider-Man is not James Bond.
-
Tobey is the most wooden actor EVER! And he's like 40 years old! Dunst was always horribly miscast as MJ. Even Lindsey Lohan would've been a better "Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!" MJ. And Raimi never really tranlated and self-imploded with the diseased afterbirth of SPIDER-MAN 3. To think that there may be not one but TWO more SM movies from this same exhausted gang just really, really sux. This franchise needs fresh blood stat.
-
IMHO Spider-Man 2 still one of the best comic book films out there. A different kind of comic book film than 'The Dark Knight', but great nonetheless. Not like most (if not all ?) people I'm not letting the utter crapola that was Spider-Man 3 ruin 'Spider-Man 2'.
-
As a lifelong Spidey fan, when they got to the conclusion of the first film and they staged the whole bridge scene with Mary Jane and the Green Goblin, I thought to myself "Wow, this is lame. They're lifting the Gwen story, but obviously Mary Jane is going to live here. So why are they wasting it?"But then when the movie was over and was SUCH a box office hit, I tried to give them some credit by thinking "Oh, I get it! They're thinking ahead! They're thinking trilogy. They'll push things a bit with the next 2 films and go darker, to really get into the character and make you REALLY feel for him. So they'll introduce Gwen in Part 3 and redo the bridge scene ala Part 1 -- only this time the girl will fall and her neck WILL snap like in the comics. Nice going, Marvel! You're setting things up, so it all comes full circle dramatically."Of course, then we got SPIDER-MAN 3 which was truly shitty in so many ways, not the least of which was the handling of Gwen. Talk about a TOTALLY botched story arc and what SHOULD have been the biggest and best and most emotional Spider-Man movie ever.I swear, if the fourth film is anywhere near as shitty as the third one was, which so many people walked out of shaking their heads, no one will care AT ALL about a fifth or sixth.
-
Let's trade a director who really cares about the character and knows the comics for whichever random guy Sony can grab to expedite the process of throwing shit at the wall until you have product that more or less resembles a summer tentpole. Brett Ratner's not busy.
-
It seemed to me like Raimi had little interest in Stacy and that the bridge scene in the first film was a throwaway nod to that character's existence. Her appearance in Spider-Man 3 felt like a producer-mandated attempt to bring in a new "girlfriend" actress to push out a potentially problematic one. See also: Lana Lang in Superman 3.
-
Anyone calling SPIDERMAN 2 "fantastic" or "masterpiece" needs to watch TDK, IRON MAN, SUPERMAN, THE INCREDIBLES, hell even X-MEN 2 again. I would rate ALL of those movies above SPIDERMAN 2. I remember thinking SPIDERMAN 2 was good at the time but the Jesus Christ Pose in the subway train bugs the fuck out of me now. And since that movie came out, TDK and IRON MAN have taken the superhero genre to a higher level.
-
Raimi has publicly mentioned Morbius as a potential villain and Dylan Baker is ready to go as the Lizard. They're obviously aware of prior stories involving those two characters and it's easy to imagine the resulting film: a super-hero horror movie where Spider-Man fights Dracula (Morbius) with the help of a sympathetic Wolfman (Lizard.) What's worrying is a comment Raimi made, and I don't have the exact quote, about the "seductive" nature of vampires. The possibility percolates that they could try to make Morbius a sexy Anne Rice/Twilight vampire who uses his magic powers to seduce Mary Jane as a kind of mirror to the theme of infidelity in Spider-Man 3. There's a lot they could do to try and respond to the third movie's problems that would only dig them deeper into a hole.
-
I always looked at it that way, too. To be honest, as they were making the first film, I'm sure that behind the scenes they hoped they were making a hit, but I doubt they knew it would be SO huge at the box office. So, with that in mind, I can see Raimi making the first film...trying to put his best foot forward...and thinking to himself "What else can we throw into the mix? What else is really solid material from the comic?" -- at which point he zeroed in on the Gwen bridge scene and decided to lift it.Of course, having now written themselves into a corner like that, then they got to the third film and said "Oh fuck, NOW what do we do?"...a producer mandate came down saying "put Gwen Stacy in"...and looking back at the first film, once again they said "Oh fuck, NOW what do we do? We screwed the pooch and ALREADY used the Gwen story!"In the end, I agree with you, Zzzardozzz. I'd let Raimi stay since he's gone 2 for 3 on the movies...he clearly has a fondness for the character and could certainly deliver another solid movie...but screwing up the Gwen storyline really was the biggest mistake they made in these films. As I said before, what should have been the biggest and best and most emotional Spider-Man movie ever got TOTALLY pissed away.
-
Get a better actor than Maguire, like Gosling. Get a prettier girl to be MJ. Make sure a good villain is involved. And no more of the unrealistic looking New York. It's kind of annoying and makes the movie feel too cartoonish. Also cut the running time to a lean hour and 30 mins and fill it with action. It really shouldn't be hard to make up for part 3. But if everyone from the older films are still involved, I'll pass. I remember laughing hysterically at the scene in Spiderman 3 where MJ breaks up with him in Central Park while Franco was in the bushes laughing. It was straight up Days of Our Lives...
-
4,5,+6!! Thats a lot of Spidey!
-
i am not a hater,i loved the first spidy despite its flaws,but the next one is very overrated.
it is way better that the abomination that was spidy3,but it is in no fucking way a masterpiece or one of the best comic-movies ever.
sooner or later,the lovers of spidy2 will find out by themselves why spidy2 isnt such a good movie that they think it is.
and in another note,personally i cant say i am very satisfied with how raimi has treated the spiderman mythos in his movies: no wisecracks,spiderman is too loser and whiny,dunst was a miscast despite the fact that MJ characters in the movie had nothing to do with the comic version,the changes in uncle bens death,no spiderman trademark acrobatic stunts in the new york skycraper scenery etc etc etc. -
Assume that Spider-Man 4 will indeed be the Dracula/Wolfman horror movie and note that the following should be regarded as a dream or an IMAGINARY STORY: Two-part Sinister Six epic (Spider-Man SIX, get it?) Bring Sandman back. Bring Octopus back (climbed out of the water when we weren't looking.) End with the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane, Spider-Man webslings into the sunset. After that, they could hire whoever they wanted to shoot their "reboot" where Spider-Man kisses Black Cat and fights CGI Carnage.
-
what about the scene at the end of the first movie,where MJ express her love about peter in a funeral,she had to go in a funeral to discover her hidden feeling about peter,and then express them there in the funeral?
-
You said: "What's worrying is a comment Raimi made, and I don't have the exact quote, about the seductive nature of vampires. The possibility percolates that they could try to make Morbius a sexy Anne Rice/Twilight vampire who uses his magic powers to seduce Mary Jane."Actually, what terrifies me is the idea of having Morbius in the new movie and having him seduce Mary Jane simply because THEN you just KNOW that some bonehead production or marketing guy behind the scenes will be pushing that angle and saying "Yeah, yeah, yeah! We'll let Kristen go darker with the whole vampire angle...we can go for the DARK KNIGHT tone and go for the TWILIGHT crowd too...we'll sex her up and THAT will make all the fan boys drool and make them race into the theater. It's box office gold, baby!"Well, I have news for Sony, Marvel, and Raimi -- casting Kristen Dunst was the WORST casting in the entire series. I NEVER bought her as the supposedly "hot" actress or model, so I'm certainly NOT going to buy into her being even sexier as a vampiress or whatever else you clueless fucks are thinking of!Well, not unless you RECAST the part of Mary Jane and you actually DO get a hot looking actress to take over the role!
-
...it was good, solid entertainment. Not great, but definitely a decent enough entry in the series. Seriously...go watch The Happening, Wanted, Lady In The Water amongst many others..then re-evaluate just how bad a film can be.
-
what we have seen in 3 movies was just the clone of spiderman.the new spiderman trilogy will show us the adventures of the true spiderman from the start.thus a reboot with the same/slightly different cast and stories is possible.
simple solution isnt it? -
in those Iron Man press scenes. Well, Clark Kent could have been there, but he's DC.
-
why the hell not? she would be perfect as a hot vampires who tries to seduce spiderman in the vampire ways.
-
Post-Maguire Spidey 5 & 6 would feature Kraven The Hunter and cover the Mad Dog Ward storyline.
-
as Kraven.he has the physical appearance and from what i have seen in the IM2 teaser,he can play well a russian.well kraven fits him better than whiplash.
-
It was a travesty because Sam Raimi had no idea how to carry the Venom story line. Love stories can be messed with, villain introductions cannot. Unless you are a fierce advocate for shitty dance sequences.
-
Are a hot property at the moment – so yeah – it’s a sound move (business wise) to make Spidey 4’s villain a vamp - I suppose. I wouldn’t be surprised if they try and shoehorn a Blade crossover in. Spiderman 3’s ‘downfall’ was too many villains – and too much CGI. You never cared about Venom because he was CGI that’s why a Carnage angle (IMO) wouldn’t work.
Villain wise I’d go for something a bit more classic like Kingpin, Lizard, or Mysterio.
-
With Harry killed at the end of the 3rd movie...Oscorp now has a mysterious new head, who has funded the research of both Dr. Connors & Morbius. After the final showdown, Spidey thinks that it's all over, but the audience is shown that the new Oscorp head is Norman Osborne, back from the dead. At the start of the 5th movie, Norman hires a thug to steal Connors research.....that thug could be Cletus Kassidy, who finds and bonds with the Venom "fragment" in Connors lab to become Carnage. Meanwhile, JJJ has been manipulated into funding the Scorpion Weapon Suit, bringing back the thief from the first movie (who has signed on). At the end of this movie (middle of a trilogy) things are looking bleak as Spidey finds that. Gobby is back & sets it up for the last act. In number 6, bring back Morbius, Lizard, Sandman to join Green Goblin, Carnage & Scorpion & do a Sinister 6 story.
Just a thought though!! -
Look at GI JOE. Would you say THAT was better than Spidey 3?
-
...that storyline from issue#100 where Peter Parker grew 6 extra legs??
-
If I was to ask you what are the most important stories in his comic book history, which ones would you list? What things happened in his personal life would you say were essential parts of Peter Parker's life, and which adventures, foes and battles did he have which you would say are the best things to ever happen to Spider-Man and had to part of a movie series?
That to me is how they should have made the Spider-Man series, and unfortunately they already fucked it up by screwing up the Death of Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin AND the even fucked up the origin and story of a villain I don't like (Venom).
Now the question is what is left that they can still do? -
You meant four extra arms not "6 extra legs." Right, you fucking crackhead?
-
How the fuck can you compare. GI Joe did suck, it was disappointing, but at least it started out that way. Spider-Man started out well, and sequeled well. Then a story-line that Sam Raimi couldn't handle was forced upon him and he completely fucked it up. Comparing GI Joe to Spider-man is like comparing Apples to Oranges... Aqua to Touch and Go. Amy Winehouse to Paris Hilton.
-
...Jesus, sorry Mr Anatomy!!! Okay, let's be pendantic a spider has 8 legs, so he'd need 6 extra legs, right? But okay, I'll accept your point that arms could be legs too if he used them like a spider. So, 4 extra legs and 2 extra arms. Everyone happy now!?? LOL!
-
But keep it a suprise, by saying you are using a shitty twilight vampire vs Warewolf (lizard)for the plot. That is what your doing? isnt it?ISNT IT!SAM TALK TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When are we going to get SPIDER-HAM!!!!!!
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
I want me some Peter Porker NOW!!!!
-
One of the most important supporting characters in Spider-Man's comic book history.
-
All the people who are whining about how Spider-Man 2 was great at the time, but now it's been surpassed so it's now crap... if it wasn't for the squillions of dollars that Spidey 2 made, the studios wouldn't have invested all that cash in the recent crop of superhero franchises. It was good, excellent even, for the time. Special effects have moved on since but it's still heaps of fun. As for Spider-Man 3? Garbage.
-
...but all the rest of this guys stuff is either outright crap, or overrated crap. Feh.
-
wouldnt it be great if marvel themselves owned iron man, thor, captain amercia and most of their core characters, if ther hulk rights reverted back to them they could even cross reference movies and make an avengers film, they could then distribute through howver they want, maybe even set a line of credit using their characters as security to fund their movies, I might pitch that idea, probably too wild and crazy for anyone to but it.

Stop blaming Sam Raimi for the Spider-Man 3 debacle. Raimi had the story and villian all lined up with Sandman and the conclusion of the Harry Osborne story-line when Avi Arad barged in and demanded that Raimi incorporate Venom into the storyline. So Raimi now had to juggle the Sandman/Harry Osborne/Gwen Stacey storyline AS WELL as figure out a way to shoehorn in the Venom storyline into a movie that was only 2+ hours long. Why didn't Arad and Sony leave Raimi alone instead of forcing this shit on him? He could have made the ultimate trilogy if not for Arad and studio interference.
-
The Rundown (see what I did there) is a REALLY under rated movie. If you haven't seen it and you like action/comedies, then check it out.
I'm pumped about the same writer working on this. I have faith he will lower the cheese factor from the CGI reel that was supposed to be Spiderman 3. -
... making sure Spider-Man 4 isn't totally shit like Spidey 3 before planning even more sequels. Okay, Sony? Planning more sequels before you've fixed the problems from last time isn't a good idea.
I do not want to sit through another boring shit-fest like SM3, this time make it good like the first two. Especially Spider-Man 2. -
The guy has one move: Cry. Andy Kindler would make a better Spider-Man.
-
are now proclaining that Spider-Man 3 is a terruible movie, Sam Raimi is a terrible director and there's no more interest in the Spidey saga? Is this for real? Are this the same people who sucked Jar Jar Abrams' cock for his terrible bullshit Fuck Trek movie? Is there any correlation?Who understands the geeks this days? Bunch of self-indulgents!
-
Bland acting, lazy direction, poor FX... the only sequence I can remember from the first two movies is the train fight. Spiderman 5 and 6 will never be made, the audience has lost interest.
-
Bouncy X at the top is on the right lines here. Paramount does not "control" Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, Universal does not "control" Hulk. Neither studio is producing those movies. They are solely controlled and produced, all creative decisions made, by Marvel Studios. Paramount and Universal essential act as distribution entities only on those films. Marvel control the characters and that is why The Avengers is possible down the road using Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Hulk and their supporting characters. Marvel do NOT control Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Man, The Punisher because they gave up movie rights on those characters to Fox and Sony. They gave up shit to Paramount and Universal so they wouldn't have any say any way around. If there were to be any chance of a crossover involving Fox and Sony-owned characters the negotiations would be with Marvel Studios, Paramount and Universal would not be involved. They control nothing.
-
sorry, but "3", as much as a money-making machine as it was, killed my interest in the franchise. The writing was terrible, & WTF was with the stupid dancing sequences? The ending was terrible & Venom (& even more so Eddie Brock) was terribly mis-handled. Where was the build-up to Brock going a little of the deep end before getting the symbiote? 1&2 are brilliant but 3 shat on all over the place, & its a hell of a mess to clean up.
-
The trilogy we have are good and all, but everyone knows three screwed the pooch pretty big, just give someone else a shot. And get rid of Dunst and MacGuire. If hollywood can do a battlestar galactica movie 3 months after the tv show ends and can reboot superman whenever they please because Returns wasnt good enough, theres no reason not to reboot spiderman.
-
is the best movie to never win an Oscar. period.
-
Citizen Kane, Psycho, GoodFellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and Once Upon A Time in the West would all like to disagree.
-
Come to think of it - I’d be more interested in a ‘Captain America’ movie than another Spidey trilogy. The best way I think they could do a ‘Cap’ movie is to set the first half in the 40’s, imagine it – crackling Pathe news reels depicting Cap fighting alongside the regular Army: “Here comes the American superman” etc etc. Pit him against the Nazi’s and Red Skull, freeze him, and then move the story on to present day when he thaws out to defeat . Using the world today and how it contrasts with the World War 2 era. It could be a lot of fun – seeing how Cap deals with the attitudes and challenges of today’s society. Thus getting around the character looking and acting ‘cheesy’ in modern day times.
Thor? Dunno how they’ll get round that one. . . .
-
and after that he goes against north koreans.throw mandarin somewhere there as a north korean weapon scientist,who is Kim Il-sungs right hand and have Iron man as a guest appearance who heps cap to his cause.
thus u establish the ground for two things: Mandarin as starks villain in a future movie sequel,and ofc the inevitable Avengers movie.
brilliant isn it? -
They're distributors. Marvel controls them 100% - hence the crossovers. On the other hand - Sony purchased the rights to Spidey, Fox purchased rights to some of the X-Men and Fantastic Four and so on. So they don't cross over. There you go.
-
Let's reboot that fucker. I like Ben Affleck but not as DD. Wait, wasn't John Favrou (the swingers dude, can't spell his last name) in that peice of shit? Then he directed IronMan. Talk about a shifting of gears. But yeah, reboot DD.
-
Marvel should cross everything into everything, bring the Punisher, F4, Spidey, together, even for two minute cameos. RDJ at the of Incredible Hulk was fucking awesome, The avengers will be a monster fucking hit. Marvel is on track, as long as IronMan 2 isn't on par with Indy 5, they are making canon movies, with talent on both sides of the camera and are making real bank. Keep it up.
-
jesus guys try to get real concerning the avengers movie.
if the movie is ever going to be made using the cast of the separated franchises,dont u think that its budget will become unreal?
even if u just add up only the salaries of the stars of those movies,u ll need at least 100m dollars just for their salaries.and what about their screen time and their part in the movies story? have u forgotten that Halle Berrys demand to have more time in the xmen franshise, since she got the oscar,was one of the main reasons that the xmen3 movie was such a mess?
and lets say the budget is not a problem.who is going to direct it? wont the directors of all the other franchise movies want to take a chance on this movie? based on what criteria,will Marvel studion select the suitable director for the avengers movie? based on who director demands the smallest salary,based on who director has made the most successful movies or based on who director is the most creative and talented to take the responsibitily to create a movie of such proportions?
and all these things,provided that the rest of marvels future franchises are successful ones.until now we have a total failure concerning the Hulk franchise,Iron Man is the only huge hit and we dont even know how the new movies are going to be.
and if indeed these movies are failures,what is going to happen? an avengers movie where the protagonist and the only star is RDJ and all the rest of teh cast are b-list actors filling their roles? just think about it. -
The Goblin storyline is over so I'm guessing we won't see Hobgoblin. I'd like to see a movie with Mysterio as the villain. Maybe Kraven the Hunter, or Electro. And what's the deal with Sandman? He killed Uncle Ben and then at the end of the movie he just kind of floated away.
-
I hope Raimi has something new to say about Spiderman. 3 was basically the same story as 2, only not as well done.
-
Raimi has said that it was Venom, Gwen Stacey, and Capt Stacey that Arad wanted in the film. Gwen and her dad were already in the film, just as a girl in Peter's class and a police capt. They were just going to be random characters. I mean they obviously could've been since they were both completely wasted in that movie. Also there still would have been three villains with Raimi wanting Vulture in. So who knows? It could've been mediocre whether or not there was any interference from Arad.
-
Because let's face it--Raimi has a very solid track record. The whole debacle of Gwen Stacy aside, there was never anything wrong with 1 and 2--everything worked out very well. Perhaps not as mind-blowing as TDK or Iron Man, but the first two Spider-Man films were worthy of a geekgasm in their own right.
3 was, as everyone believes, just an unmitigated mess. Too many villain storylines diluted the overall plot, and the entire Gwen Stacy appearance contributed almost nothing to the story. Raimi & Co. might as well take this opportunity to make 4 as a reboot of 3, so we can forget about that awful, awful film. -

Mary Jane came off as such a huge bitch in Spidey3
by kevin_costners_recycled_piss
It can't have been intentional but they wrote her as such a self obsessed, whiney bitch. Like the way she gets pissed off when she sees Peter's happy and contented, or the way she goes off with Harry because she saw Peter as Spider-man give Gwen a kiss, even though it's no different really from Peter seeing her kiss some dude in a play.
Plus, they had her completely freak out at him saying "how could you? That was OUR kiss" when in the previous movie she tried to recreate that kiss herself with her astronaut boyfriend.
Like I said, they made her completely unlikable and by the end of the movie you're just hoping she dies and that Peter ends up with Gwen or even the chocolate cake Russki girl. -
Or just have Spidey 4, 5 and 6, and make it EMO and g... oops! thinf b4 you speak!
-
But I checked out of Spiderman with number 2... Frankly, I pretty much dug the heck out of Drag Me To Hell, and I wish he'd play in that or another sandbox like it again. Then again, I was never a big Spiderman fan to begin with, but Spiderman, like Batman seems to have a perenial appeal to the kids. Supes comes and goes, but those two, will always have something going on toywise and beyond comic mediawise.
-
Did they fuck up Venom? Kinda. Was it a terrible film? Not by a longshot in my opinion. People tend to amplify the things they dislike to validate their opinions. You fools go with the thoughtless masses too often.
-
But who's gonna write Spiderman 7,8 and 9?
That's the burning question! I'll check this site every day for updates and to be honest I'll not rest until I know. Here they are worrying about 4,5 and 6 when they should be looking to the future! That's what a smart mogul would be doing.
Honest to God, I wish I was fucking dead.
-
if u ask me
-
No where in the league of Spidey 2 or even x2, and don't mention it with Nolan's Bat films...
-
The fact that they've hired somebody to script these movies doesn't necessarily mean they'll get made, or that the final product will resemble the scripts at all.
-
We get it, he's an American hero, but for those of us in the rest of the world (yes, it's out there), that moment in Spidey 3, or possibly 2, where Spiderman swings, lands on a rooftop and the background is composed entirely of an American flag was frankly embarrasing to watch.
-
Your anti-Americanism is much more embarrassing to watch.
-
taking character-crossover in the Marvel Universe literally.
-
I love them! Also, I miss According to Jim.
-
It's not anti-americanism. But there's a big difference between patriotism and this syrupy "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH" bullshit that seems to require putting a flag in every scene.
-
its about the universality of the spiderman character.as stan lee has mentioned in his interviews,one of the key elements of spidermans universal success,was that he was wearing a whole-body suit with a mask covering his face.every kid from usa,to china,to south africa,to brazil and so on,could easily relate and get fascinated to the spiderman character since spiderman,when peter put his mask on,didnt have racial and ethnic traits.everybody could be behind his mask.stan lee has said that.
but when raimi starts transforming spiderman into captain america,with all the usa flag backgrounds and all that,that kind of the characters universal appeal starts breakin up.foreign kids stop relating to him.
personally i didn have problem with the usa flag at the end of the first movie,after all he is a usa culture icon,but raimis insistence to turn spidy more and more into an american patriotic hero,well it started to get annoying. -
That last one was a fucking Merchant-Ivory cry-fest. Holy shit, that was terrible.
-
There are PLENTY to choose from!
-
Why can't they just tell a unique Spiderman story?Has it come to this? A world where people actually REQUESTING a reboot?
-
They already turned G.I. Joe into an international force, took the "and the American way" out of Superman's catch phrase. You gonna bitch because there's a Captain America movie coming out and it's not going to be changed to Captain U.N.? Don't like American superheros being American, lobby to get a superhero movie from your own country made.
-
Where people ARE actually REQUESTING a reboot*? (Need caffeine)
-
Sorry if an AMERICAN movie about an AMERICAN superhero living in AMERICA defending AMERICAN citizens had an AMERICAN FLAG in it.Besides the fact that he's based in New York where the majority of the skyscrapers have American Flags waving from the top of them for some odd reason...
-
The problem isn't with Spiderman being American, it's with this Raimi's directing ethos which goes a little like this: "SPIDERMAN IS AMERICAN! HE'S AMERICAN! DID WE REMIND YOU THAT HE'S AMERICAN?" It's clumsy, and it's badly done. At least in Captain America, he embodies the ideals, without having to ram it down everyone's throat. That's the difference. Subtlety. And no, I won't be bitching when that comes out, assuming they do it right.
-
rev-skarekroe i am too upset that turned GIJOE from an all-american team into a UN force.americana was one of gijoes trademakr,one of their core element and taking that out of them,well its at least stupid and disrespectful.so i am there with you.
concerning superman well he IS the embodiment of americana,but if i am not mistaken for the past years,in the comics,he has turned from an american symbol into a worldwide one.he himself claims that planet earth is his homeplanet and he will protect it with his life.not just usa but the whole world.thats why the catchphrase has changed.if u have a problem with that,well send your complaints at DCs offices.but beware,at the end if superman is all about the american way,then superman, in Millers TDK returns GN,rightfully gets his ass kicked by batman.
last but not least,u ignore that i transfered Lees statements about spidys character.he wanted to make him with a universal appeal.
ps.no need for that. usa has already made movies of our heroes: herakles,achillies,odysseus etc.movie turds but movies nevertheless ;) -
I never really thought of Spider-Man as an American hero, and I'm from America myself. I'm sure if you asked Peter Parker he'd say, 'yay go USA' or whatever, but he's not the patriotic symbol that Captain America is or Superman use to be. Besides Cap, any other patriotic-y characters tend to be B-listers or lower (USAgent, Jack Flagg, etc). So yeah, that image of Spidey running with an absolutely enormous american flag behind him was kind of silly. Not 'dancing down the street' silly, of course...

Why doesn't this site help people understand the Spider-Man 3 st
by zzzardozzz
Go look at a copy of The Spider-Man Chronicles: The Art and Making of Spider-Man 3. It's probably still sitting unsold on the shelf at your local Barnes & Noble. It candidly details the entire story of the film's disastrous development. Raimi and his brother Ivan were writing the Sandman/Vulture story they wanted. Producers Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad hired Alvin Sargent to write the Venom script that THEY wanted. The "best" screenplay would be the one that got produced. Alvin Sargent is Laura Ziskin's husband. Guess who won the contest? Raimi tried to keep some of his ideas as they ripped Vulture out of his story and sloppily crammed in Venom, and requested that they the movie be produced as a two-parter to cover all the required ground with three villains. They would not do it. Even within the movie they made, you can see photos of big scenes that were cut and have never been seen--scenes which the making of book cites as "crucial" to the plot. When Raimi tells you he has creative control on Spider-Man 4, it's his PC way of saying he got completely fucked on 3.
-
If 4 is the reeking turd that 3 was, then 5 and 6 just ain't gonna happen.Drop Raimi, get rid of that Christ-awful Dunst bird and resolve the Dr. Connors/Lizard build-up and I may just get interested again...
-
...Spider Man tale somewhere in the shitfest that was 3.Has anyone done an edit and removed all the Venom bits?
-
There'd be the chance to put back the stuff that was cut and take out the "butler scene."
Too bad they didn't do that on the first DVD, because you won't get people interested in buying 3 again unless you can bundle it in some huge 1-4 super box. -
But I'm looking forward to the next three Spider Man movies. About the only problems I had with Spider-Man 3 were getting Sandman involved with Uncle Ben's murder and the mismanagement of Venom. I always enjoy Spider-Man though, been a lifelong fan for about as long as I can remember.
-
It came on, I think, on some of the Starz channels, sometime last week. Couldn't take more than a few minutes of it.
In contrast, I could sit down and watch Spidey 2 whenever it's on. And yes, in Spidey 3, Mary Jane morphed into a shrew. -
I got dibs on penning Spiderman 7 & 8.
(the ones Schumacher is directing.) -
i i hate spiderman 3 blah blah, spiderman 3 raped my childhood whine whine. sandman made me cry boo hoo
-
The Green Goblin was the first red flag. He looked nothing like his comic book counterpart. The look of The Green Goblin is as iconic as Spiderman and what's with this Electro talk? Electro looks fucking ridiculous. Shocker > Electro.
-
REBOOT THE WHOLE FUCKING THING.
-
First off, does Tom Cruise really need to make 60-80 million off one movie. Why do you think movie budgets are so out of control. This makes the studios take less chances on new properties. The lead in District 9 did a fantastic job and I could have cared less that he wasnt well known. They should put a cap on movie budgets so directors are forced to be creative with it. Im tired of fx porn like Transformers 2. The effects in District 9 also felt restrained wich is EXACTLY HOW FX SHOULD BE.
-
Oh say can you see, oh say can you see, oh sa...
Fuck Hitler. -
...is overall amazing. I love those movies from beginning to end. You people just don't understand camp.
-
seeing captain canuck in front of canadian flags so let the americans keep doing what they do. i have no complaints.
-
I always understood camp as being movies that were "fun to watch" in some way. Not just test-reels of crying actors. If Raimi was trying to go for camp, he failed. If he wasn't, he failed.
-
Because I thought Spiderman 3 was a piece of shit, I obviously don't understand camp. "Overall amazing" he says.
-
There's really nothing in that movie remotely worth salvaging. Even Aunt May doesn't speak in normal sentences anymore...she just farts out inspirational bullshit nonstop. Seriously, if you can stand it, watch SP3 again...nothing she says is a standard line of dialog a normal human being might say, it's all nails on chalkboard aphorisms the whole time. Who wrote this shit? Hallmark?Somebody made a brilliant casting call in a previous lambaste Spidey3 TB for a new MJ: Mary Elizabeth Winstead (girl from Sky High and Live Free or Gunshot)...give her the read auburn hair and viola, you've got Mary Jane. Kick ass if not brilliant casting (she can play both damsel and asskicker if needed).Unthink using Bryce Dallas Howard for anything where "super fine girl" is involved...yeah, that's right, I said it. She's poodle-ly weird looking kinda semi-pretty in a weird 'are you sure you're not part ET?' way, not drop dead gorgeous and as healthy as my suspension of disbelief is, I don't buy for one second Kristen Dunst or Bryce Howard as being supermodels, beautiful girls, etc, much less the characters of Mary Jane and Gwen. Part of that is opinion of course but...well..watch the third one again and that modeling gig with the berserk crane...hint: Howard is the sore thumb sticking out and up your ass as you watch.I also agree that MacGuire should go - he basically has 3 emotions, doofus, cry, and mad-angry-cry (maybe that's 2 then) but he's played his hand and it's a pair of 3's...he can move on now. Gosling would be great but only if we continue and not reboot (as he's not that young)...of course there are others...always others...As for storyline? Not as much a Spidey comic reader as most of you but what I did read mostly involved Lizard and Dylan Baker has been sweetly biding his time and deserves the role or bollocks on to whoever produces. Seriously, if Lizard shows and it's not Baker, fuck any new Spidey's..Baker deserves it period.Carnage brings back to many bad Venom memories plus you guys do know that a Venom spin-off flick is in the works right? So no, no Carnage. Ever.I vote for Lizard at minimum...not sure who else would be good but why not just one god damn villain? Perish the thought. Although I'd love Norman Osborne to return in some plausible (yeah i know) twist and reignite Green Goblin (sans power rangers mask this time)...hell some sort of Frankenstein thing might cover why he'd wear a more traditional Goblin mask...Dafoe chewed serious scenery but I still loved his portrayal even with the decent but kinda ass-like Goblin suit.
-
'Improbable Exposition Butler Man' - last seen in 3.He's back - and this time he's got even more painfully unlikely plot scenarios to tell you about! Quake with fear, Peter Parker!
-
what the fuck does how much money Spiderman 2 made have to do with whether or not it holds up as a good movie? By that rationale, TRANSFORMERS 2 must be one of the greatest movies ever (which it is not). Plus, your point over whether or not any other superhero movies would have been made without the success of Spiderman 2 is a stretch.
-
Connor Cruise to play Spiderman!

Spidey 2 was genius, and all of a sudden Spidey 3 is garbage??
by sirbiatchreturns
cmon guys, get real. NO director will hugely flip the script and disregard a highly successful formula to produce garbage. Spidey 3 is the logical next-step for Spidey 2, just as Transformers 2 is the logical step of Trans 1. Directors and producers will analyze what made a film successful and will replicate it, and usually add more of the same. Spidey 2, IMO, was a plot-hole ridden cryfest. It was so emo to the point where I turned to my friend (in theater, opening day) and said "WTF AM I WATCHING? Is this Spiderman or Dawson's Creek?" Raimi must have seen how successfully emo Spidey 2 was and obviously tried to replicate it in Spidey 3, and then failed. At that point, people were tired of the emo thing. But let's be perfectly real - you can't HATE Spidey 3 and LOVE Spidey 2 at the same time. Watch both those movies again and see how much crying there was. Mary Jane suddenly turned into a shrew in movie 3? Nope. she was a shrew in movie 2, that's why it sucked. But she was a bigger shrew in movie 3, so everyone noticed it and hated it. The roots of crap are usually always there from the beginning.

There's a reason why you couldn't use my name, you unoriginal, name-stealing bitch! And I've been using Zardoz for 10 years now, so fuck off already!

I've been completely underwhelmed by the first three Spiderman films. In fact, I mostly don't like them at all. A few good scenes here and there. I'd love to see a different set of people work on this property. But it's hard to argue with the box office, and I'm sure I'll get a minor fanboy beat down for expressing said opinion.
-
lol I'm going to assume that I know what you're talking about and defend myself by saying I've never liked these movies, nor most of the superhero/comic book films of the last 10 years or so. They're rarely faithful to the source material and it's like living the comic book boom all over again - they keep repeating themselves. Sure, it's a different costume in a different city, but it's the same damn movie when you get right down to it. Definitely ready for something new.
Random: Elfquest movie is finally a go after twenty years! Wooot! And I'm still down for a Sandman or Death film adaptation. But the fear of them not being great almost makes me hope that they never happen. -

Christopher Walken should shave his head and be Red Skull
by yoyodynepropulsionsystems
Then he can use his bad-assery to convince all these studio folks to come together for some crossovers.
-
Did you boys finally break the TB on the Oldman backpedal? I wanted to give all you fellas your proper congrats, but was cock blocked! Whats up with that, I haven't been that badly cock blocked since Sophie Marceau refused to let me shave a swirly -Q on her lady parts.
-
deal with it you cunts! Spider-man 3 rules!
-
..as it was silly, a bit pretentious and everything jumbled in.Oh, so we are to believe that the Sandman was really Uncle ben's killer?Dark Parker being fed Milk and Cookies by Ditkovitch's daughter as opposed to playing hide the Salami? Oh, and then there's the dancing the reason why the Spiderman broadway musical was cancelled, is because we have SEEN it already!
-
That's a funny ass username! lol And... Oooooh, I get it. Added to the lexicon.
-
determined to milk the shit out of their properties on screen. Makes DC look tame as hell in comparison.
-
...it damn well better have six fucking villains. They don't have to call themselves the "Sinister Six" or anything but they damn well better team up with the goal of taking down Spider-Man. Seriously.
-
...raking in the dollars on comics these days. Sure, they're staying afloat. But it's nothing like it was through the late eighties and early to mid-nineties. There's very little chance that they'll ever get back to that point. So movies seem like the logical choice, unfortunately. I mean, really, they can just insert a new comic book character and toss them at the screen to see what sticks. When something does, it gets a sequel or two. It's not a bad plan as long as they have at least one huge money-maker every year or so. Unfortunately, as I already mentioned, Marvel is superheroes, and most superhero stories are basically the same. You can argue that all you like, but I've been reading comics for almost thirty years, so you better have a good argument. When you break it down, most superhero stories revolve around the same concepts and ideas. Changing the costume and location doesn't really make them different.
-
thats because DC can't get its act together and make super-hero movies! its not because they are showing restraint or "class"
-
"When you break it down, most superhero stories revolve around the same concepts and ideas. Changing the costume and location doesn't really make them different."
You can say that about any story. not just super-hero stories. -
...Bruce as Mysterio! Just for the first 15 minutes of a film. Think of all the tricks he could pull on Spidey that would actully be Raimi's tricks that he's pulling on the audience.
-
I agree to a certain extent. But the box is a wee bit smaller when you add spandex and superpowers to the concept.
-
I thought the flag scene in the first movie was a direct response to 9/11, but from a New York perspective, and the subway scene in SM2 (which frankly, I thought was the best scene in the movie) also was about New Yorkers. The flags in SM3 didn't really register for me, to be honest. They didn't seem to serve a purpose, so I ignored them.
-
fucking sucks. Zodiac takes a shit all over it.
-
I woulda thought that Raimi had gotten all the prominent flag placements out of his system. I thought wrong.
-
Didn't see no flags in the Evil Dead movies. I DO remember seeing a confederate flag in The Quick & The Dead, tho.
-

"CITIZEN KANE fucking sucks. Zodiac takes a shit all over it."
by continentalop
Wow. How do you argue with such an intelligent and well thought out criticism?
Batman713, if you had said you thought Citizen Kane was overrated and you preferred Zodiac, I could understand. Film is subjective. But that statement makes me think you are the type of guy whose mouth moves when he reads.
Tell me how Zodiac is better aesthetically, artistically, historically, and cinematically (and without using the words "cool" or "kick-ass" or "sucks") and maybe I will see your point. -
I wanna see Spidey go up against someone with actual fighting skills. Enter Gerard Butler as Kraven! He's hunting Pete's pal Dr. Connors, who's gone and turned himself into a six foot tall lizard-man. Shit writes itself.
-
lol, ok, fair point. But I was kind of rolling with the concept that all three movies are post 9/11/New Yorkish affairs.
-
Batman713 takes a shit all over him. 'Well, that's what I heard!' Obviously, I am joking and this will inadvertently lead to my banning. Because that's how my life works.
-
... not have ANY great villains. I mean, I thought Hobgoblin/Green Goblin (or whatever order they go in) were cool when I was younger. Have they ruined the possibility of that storyline altogether already? Franco is bigger now than he was at the time of the first film, so it seems like that would be a logical way to go. Doesn't it?
-
... the way they used Venom in the third film was lame. That could have been an entire trilogy if they'd done it right. I got the distinct impression that they just weren't planning on doing anymore of these from film number three. If they really are planning 5th and 6th film maybe that will allow them to slow down and do tell a real story with the 4th one.
-
But besides Kraven, you know who would also be cool in a movie? Scorpion. He is basically Spider-Man's opposite number, and in fact you could argue that he is superior (a scorpion might be considered more dangerous than a spider).
Another guy I would love to see him face but fanboys hate him so much it would never happen is Vulture. I think his time has past in the series, but I think he would have worked great in the first couple of movies. Why? He is a bitter old man; Spider-Man originally represented youth (especially when he was in HS), so it would be a great generation war.
Plus, I had an idea to make his Norman Osborn's ex-partner (and I heard the the cartoon did this) out for revenge because Norman blackmailed him. The idea that Spider-Man has to protect one of his enemies is just to good of irony to pass up. Of course I would have Vulture working with another villain, he isn't a big enough risk on his own (in fact, I heard the original plot for 3 was Vulture and Sandman teaming up). -
Ted, where the fuck did that come from?
-
^^^^ lol.... ????, but lol
-
Unless you unleash a badass Carnage. Yeah, and no Vulture.
-
I thought it'd tickle you a bit. But I knew I was going to be misunderstood.
-
My bad, chief. I totally fucked up my own lame joke.
-
I was just thinking "man, did he just hate one of those mysteries with VO i recommended him to rent?"
-
I am going to apologize in advance for suggesting you are an idiot. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Having said that, I have still have a complaint with your statement: you are saying it is your opinion, you are stating that it is fact that Zodiac is better than Citizen Kane. And if that is the case you are going to need evidence to back that up.
-
I think Venom sucks and Carnage doubly sucks. Vulture is 10 times a better character than those two combined.
-
I was gonna hit up the video store after work tomorrow. And I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing Carnage on the big screen for at least another ten years, if ever. He's got no overreaching arc, so he'd be hard to do unless he was just a mysterious force-of-nature like character.
-
tHEY should quit while they're NOT ahead.
-
You know YOU wanna see it, Too!
-
I would prefer if they just let the Spider-Man movies die now so maybe in 10-20 years someone else can try his hand at them and not fuck them up from the start (not blaming Raimi for that, but the producers did fuck this up from the start).
-

by kal reeve
after Superman: The Movie.

after Batman and Robin.
-
Yeah, I could see that as well. Do you think they'd go as far as having JJJ fund the experiment? That's a bit extreme for the 'movie' J.Jonah to do. In fact, Spidey sells papers so why would he want to 'do away' with him? It's counter-intuitive, no?
-
Is that like a Continentalop-flavored cereal? Because I don't think I want any of that.

Spider-Man is the Superman III of this current comic book renaissance.

Batman Begins

Swamp Thing
-
I think you could still have J.J Jameson be involved in the making of the Scorpion. The idea is he is going to replace Spider-Man with a hero of his own.
From here I would deviate from comic books and have J. J. Jameson select his own son John to become the Scorpion. That way you are kind of combining the Scorpion, Man-Wolf and the "Birth of a Hero" story from ASM 41-42 into one story line.
And if they hadn't fucked up the Death of Gwen Stacy, I would have it happened in the next movie after she dies so you have a reason why Jameson believes they need to hunt down Spider-Man.
The Death of Gwen Stacy will always be the hole that brings down the Spider-Man franchise. -
I agree. When they got to that scene in the first Spider-Man, my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe they'd just plop MJ into Gwen's death scene-and then not kill MJ! All of it was wrong. I do like your logic re:Scorpion and also the idea of JJJ's son becoming the Scorpion, thinking he's gonna be the big hero. Of course, the whole thing is the idea of one Alastair Smythe...
-
Maybe Joel Schumacker is available...
-
They've got nowhere to go from here, no story arc to work through, and no one gives a shit about that whiny bitch Maguire as Parker anyway. And Maximum Clonage? You'd need at least three films to set that up, and even the comics ended up as a confusing mess.
-
of them, I'll be happy.
-
The Sinister Six.
-
There's a whole universe of stories out there wating to be filmed... must we endure THREE MORE Spiderman movies?
-
What a fun little movie! That's gonna be the best movie on The Rock's resume when all is said and done, I think.

There's 45 years worth of Spider-Man stories to tell, so buckle up chief. You're in for a long ride.

Gotta take it back to Kraven. Kraven hunts the Lizard and Spidey and they all fight each other. Reboot reboot reboot. If crossovers will ever work they need to use mid level stars to keep the salaries down. Shit..McLovin as Peter Parker..it doesnt matter..Spidey is the star. HE WEARS A MASK! Plus better writing for fuckssake. Spidey is a smart ass. Its the best part of the comics.
-
They will do 5, and 6 also... I mean it's not like they are turning out Oscar nominated pictures or big box office flicks outside of Spiderman!
And same for Sam Raimi! Spiderman 3 was good but Venom was ass fucked! Piss poor job with him.
Overall I enjoyed, and liked the film but felt like Venom got the Darth Maul treatment, and that's not cool man... -

by sirbiatchreturns

-
good one, EvilDoer
-
Spidey 3 despite having some interesting action sequences was overall pretty damn bad, what the hell was up with MJ being a bitch for seemingly no reason?
-
As a lifelong Spidey comic fan, I have to agree with the above posts that claim the movies are all lame. When the first one came out, I couldn't believe that Raimi and co. didn't even capture the emotional depth of a comic book and added all sorts of nonsense and convoluted scenes to the best origin story in all of comic-dom. Raimi kept trying to ape Donner's Superman but like a poor marksman, kept missing the target. For instance, he shoots his wad way too early with a man on the street interview that would only make sense if the audience had been properly introduced to its subject. i.e. when Supes saves Lois. There was no scene like that in Spidey. All you had was the wrestling scene. Which was a clever throwaway in the comic, but in the movie, it was the very definition of overwrought. (Cheering full stadiums on amateur night?) And the comic had a half page panel that explained that Spidey was on TV for weeks and was astounding everybody. So, yeah, people knew who he was in the comic. Then, if he's stopping criminals after Uncle Ben's death, okay, cue the montage music and start showing man on the street stuff. (plus it would have been a better way to introduce JJJ's didain for him. "He's a Pro Wrestler milking his publicity.") But Raimi's tone deaf and has the big rescue after the man on the street montage. Plus all those dumb lines of dialogue like, "I always knew you were a freak, Parker!" Yeah, sure, a guy beats the crap out of the toughest kid in school, you either leave him alone or say, "Be my friend." And then MJ adds to the Saved By The Bell vibe with, "You really freaked us out", NOT "Wow! who'd a thought you were such a Tiger! "Tiger" get it? . And that's the least of the film's problems, I could rant all night at all the baloney like the fact that Green Goblin has no plan or there's no plot or any number of unsatisfying moments. Like MJ suddenly falling for Peter when he talks about how much he tells Spidey how giddy she makes him. (though all comics are guilty of this. The old, "I happen to know Spiderman and he assures me he'll be at the Charity Ball tonight." Which always begs, "Hey, aren't YOU Spiderman?" Still a clever movie writer wouldn't let the ship go into that crap direction) Part 2 was a little better but still, we're treated to ample amounts of sitcom writing and character development. Like, for instance, "Hey, Mary Jane, why don't you tell Harry that Spiderman saved your life and to shut the F%## up about how he killed your father since your father was a total pscyho in a plastic boogey man suit who threw you off the bridge?" Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spidey run covered those emotional issues, and nearly fixed all the holes and hokum in Spiderman's history. But what's with Hollywood types always lighting up and pontificating on how comic writers aren't screenwriters and there's a world of difference. Well, that's funny, I think they're nearly the same. Bad dialogue in comics makes for bad dialogue in movies. And vice versa. And movies are storyboarded mostly, so what's the big difference? Oh, I know! A movie affords you the extra minutes to endure the monologues Raimi's stable of screenwriting hacks gave to Aunt May. "I believe there's a little hero in all of us...." "Gosh, Aunt May, could you please pass more of your scrumptious butter muffins while you bore us with your stock old lady wisdom?"
And yes, it's shooting fish in a barrell picking on part 3. But the above post about how 2 paved the way for 3 was spot on. Part 1 paved the way for 3 if you ask me. They're disposable movies with very little excitement or logic. I don't say reboot, I say get Brian Michael Bendis to oversee the scripts and stop horsing around with writers who don't have a clue as to what they're putting down on paper. -
I remember when Spider-man 2 came out, you were all ecstatic... Now it's "mediocre"... Damn basement dwelling nerds... Nothing will ever sate your hunger...
-
I'm blaming the studios. They bowed to fan pressure to have Venom in the film and Raimi's hand was forced. He wasn't interested in having Venom be the villain because Venom wasn't a character he grew up with, and when you are forced to cram in characters and storylines into the story you want to tell it falls apart.
-
Well, I wasn't one of the geeks doing cartwheels when they chose Sam Raimi in the first place. (I was more excited about the project when James Cameron was involved.) I don't think human emotion is Raimi's strong suit. It's camera work and goofy action. But the fact that Spidey 1 and 3 had some of the most boring action scenes in a film, (the final fight with Green Goblin looked like it was filmed on a Dr. Who set) shows that even his all-hallowed camera prowess left him. Anyway, here's the point: Did Sam Raimi really say, "I'll teach you guys to pay me 20 million dollars to make me include one of Spiderman's most popular villains, I'm gonna make a TERRIBLE movie!!!" I don't think much of Venom as a character either, but I'd still put in an effort. With Raimi, it wasn't "Hmmm...the studios want me to include this lame Venom guy, how can I make it work?" It's "No one tells Sam Raimi what to do!!! Say, here's an option, Mr. Raimi. It's the "I think I'll pass on this chapter" option. And let's just say that his Vulture Sandman script was left in tact, he'd still have Sandman killing Uncle Ben. So you know, still completely undermining the strength of the origin story. So how blameless is Sam Raimi again?
-
was not the problem. It was how he was written and filmed. Coulda shoulda been the only villain. I vote for whoever said Kraven and Lizard in 4 or 5. Carnage could be made into the greatest comic villain ever if done the right way. Just a no thinking.no feeling, slaughtering demon of a character. Have it kill mj. It is a little stretch from the comics, but an all evil non wisecracking devil could be cool.
-
if they had taken an Empire Strikes Back approach. See, despite the clusterfuck about Marko and Ben's death, I actually liked the idea that Peter went dark and had to learn forgiveness. (though I agree, his 'darkness' was a bit cheesy). But I think they should have just gone with the black suit, ended ambiguously, and waited until the next pic to bring in Eddie Brock as Venom. Plus, I wish they had gone with the Ultimate Spider-Man 'cure for cancer' origin for Venom that brought Peter's dad into the picture through flashbacks, rather than the completely random meteor thing, which was incredibly lame. This whole 4-5-6 thing may indicate that they actually might have a better idea how to structure the stories instead of overstuffed one-offs. We'll see.

Question for the Spider-Man fans
by Continentalop Aug 17th, 2009
03:21:22 AM "If I was to ask you what are the most important stories in his comic book history, which ones would you list? What things happened in his personal life would you say were essential parts of Peter Parker's life, and which adventures, foes and battles did he have which you would say are the best things to ever happen to Spider-Man and had to part of a movie series? That to me is how they should have made the Spider-Man series, and unfortunately they already fucked it up by screwing up the Death of Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin AND the even fucked up the origin and story of a villain I don't like (Venom).Now the question is what is left that they can still do?" The clone saga.....full blone Jackal, Punisher, Gwen Stacy clone...Wait...Guess that's fucked ,too...
-
Which only makes sense...Kraven comes to town to hunt the spider and the Lizard...
-
You guys need to catch up on your pussy massaging skills. http://tinyurl.com/qowon2 (SFW, I swear!) I love you Conti, you are not, I repeat, NOT a fucktard. Later.
-
You link the STOOOOOOpedist shit....That's why I ALWAYS check 'em out...Mmmmm...Stuffed pussy massage...
-
..that we should, henceforth, refer to this chaotic and traumatic time as...The Crisis of Infinite Talkbacks...
-
replace 'of' with 'on.'
-
See it is hard for me to think of what is left when I see what they blew and how it connects with his major events. But if I had to make a list I would break it into two categories:
Things that effect his personal life - Peter Parker
And things that effect his super-hero life - Spider-Man -
I think we all know it needs to involve the Lizard running amok, with Kraven brought in to hunt the Lizard, but sidetracked by hunting the Spider Man instead.
-
Death of Uncle Ben
Gets a job at the Daily Bugle
Beats up Flash Thompson
Graduate from High School
Meets Gwen Stacy
Meets Harry Osborn
Meets MJ
Death of Captain Stacy
Harry becomes addicted to drugs
Choses Gwen over MJ
Death of Gwen
Proposes to MJ, she turns him down
Graduates from college
Meets Black Cat, starts dating her
Drops out of graduate school
Breaks up with Black Cat
Proposes and marries MJ
After that I lost interest in Spider-Man, but I guess you could add the death of Aunt May, her rebirth, the death of their child, etc. Stuff that never really sent me, he seems static now. -
What affected Pete...Uncle ben's Death, Gwen's death, Sgt Stacey's death, Mary Jane, marrying Mary Jane, Gwen's clone reappearing....What else?
-
EXACTLY!!!
-
Here’s my set-up for the next film: Dr. Curt Connors, who keeps a piece of the symbiote in Spidey 3 for study, will attempt to regrow his lost arm with a reptilian-derived serum. When his self-experiment goes wrong (as they always do in Spider-world), he changes into the Lizard.
While undergoing his transformation, Connors trashes his lab, freeing the piece of the Venom symbiote. The symbiote escapes the lab and finds a new host. As the new host melds with the black symbiote, it leaves behind a puddle of red goo- the Carnage symbiote, which bonds to a psycho criminal named Cletus Cassidy.
Meanwhile, JJ Jameson has hired Kraven the Hunter to come to NYC and hunt down the Lizard, whom the Bugle has branded “the Alligator in the sewer!” Spidey realizes his friend Connors is the Lizard and fights with Kraven to save him. Kraven brushes aside the Bugle’s publicity stunt to hunt a more “ultimate” prize- Spider-man.
After escaping Kraven, Spidey clashes unexpectedly with Venom. Its new host has no animosity towards Spidey, but warns him to stay out of his way. He doesn’t; Venom and Spidey clash.
Meanwhile, Carnage goes on tear across New York. Venom and Carnage clash in an amazing effects battle of the symbiotes! Kraven catches Lizard while Spidey was busy with Venom. He doesn’t kill him b/c Connors’ wife has made it known her husband is the Lizard. Kraven, still thirsting for a kill gets wind of the Venom/Carnage battle and goes to hunt them down.
Meanwhile, Spidey helps Connors return to human form. Connors and Parker develop the soundwave amplifier to defeat the symbiotes. (Connors taking the role originally played by Reed Richards in the comics when Spidey first fought Venom.)
Spidey and Connors realize Venom is fighting against Carnage, but they use the soundwave amplifier against both men to remove the symbiotes from their hosts. Connors and Spidey return to the lab where-
Kraven, having tracked down Spidey. ambushes Spider-man. Connors frees the Venom symbiote and merges with it to help Spidey fight Kraven. Connors has both arms as the Venom symbiote. They beat Kraven. Spidey uses the soundwave amplifier to separate Connors and the symbiote and all is well again. Until…
Parker returns to Aunt May’s and finds HIS PARENTS waiting for him.
Spidey 5: Chameleon and Spider Slayers (No “clones” stuff, because that was a terrible, terrible idea in the comics. His parents are “spider slayers” in disguise. Chameleon has hired the man who built the Spider Slayers in order to expose Spider-man identity and kill him.) -
You beat me to it...Forgot about a lot of that...
-
not that I particularly enjoyed that ploy.
-
I would pay to see that...
-
The Cosmic Apt?How many square feet and how much per month?
-
Ok, obviously there is a lot of overlap with this and the first list, and also you have to say any first appearance of a villain deserves to be on this list, but excluding that here goes:
Spider-Man's origin (duh)
The Sinister Six
The death of Frederick Fowsley
The Vulture comes out of retirement and faces his replacement (I know it doesn't seem big, but go back and look at the old comics to see how big of event it was)
The unmasking of the Green Goblin
The Death of the Green Goblin
Doc Oct almost marrying Aunt May (I hated this story but it plays a big part in his life, and should probably going under his personal life)
Harry becomes the Green Goblin
The Jackal and the Spider-Man clone
The return of the Burglar
Doc Oct's almost using a nuke on the city and then hunting down Black Cat and Spider-Man for revenge (my all time favorite story)
The Hobgoblin
The new costume is a symbiote
The death of Captain Stacy
Kraven's Last Hunt
Venom (along with Hobgoblin the only villain who's origin/first appearance should be on this list as a separate important event)
The Clone Saga, The Return of Norman Osborn, The Other, Brand New Day, none of that appeals to me.
To me these are the tent pole events, the stuff that his career is based around. I am not saying these are his best adventures - I excluded a lot of his best moments in my opinion - but the stuff that has a really big part in shaping his career and life right now.
Of course this is only my opinion and not a definitive list. -
when he can fight The Dazzler? Or how about an early 80's Spidey when he can fight the sinister Hot Rod! Eh, fucking typo. I meant CAPT Marvel. Fuck proofreading...even if it does fuck up my posts.
-
I'd let Sony pay me to let you pay to see that movie! ; )
-
Because does it still affect him? I mean, people can say how does the death of Frederick Fosewell still effect Spider-Man, but I say it was that death that changed the tone of the comic book and the way they treated the Kingpin.
BTW, forgot the death of Ned Leeds and the return of the real Hobgoblin. -
until tomorrow! I wonder ho wlong they'll let BackpedalBack go? I guess it'll just peter out naturally now, huh?
-
Captain Marvel Rocked with his "Cosmic Awarness." I love Jim Starlin...
-
will ponder that as I drift off into slumberland
-
may all your posts be "gouda"
-
But I hate Venom and Carnage. I am sorry, I will never warm to those two, especially Carnage. He just seems like a plot device to me, no character. Sorry.
Otherwise I love the idea except in part 5 you also have to add the Scorpion (see my discussion with TedKordLives for the reasons why). -
Wow...that brings back memories...Way back in '75, my older cousin, who collected Spiderman from #3 and all team-ups and all spin-offs, let me take them home over Christmas break from school and I read every single one of them...What a tale...
-
Used to collect everything he was in, and then when I got older I just went out and bought all the Master Works, then Essentials and finally just got the DVDs with all the comics on them.
-
Spiderman, the Lizard, the Vulture, The Scorpion, The Rhino and the Beetle all in one vacation trip...

Aug 19, 2009 1:03:55 AM CDT
Yeah, I like all the old villains, especially the "second-tier"
by continentalop
For lack of a better term. And i am always stunned that the so-called Spider-Man fans don't want to see some of those guys in a movie. Take the Vulture for instance - yes, not Spider-Man's most dangerous foe, but still a great foe when you look at what he represents. And you have a dead-ringer like Ben Kingsley willing to play him (he read for the Vulture in part 3 before they decided to axe him for Venom). He is a perfect match. Just don't have him be the only villain, but Vulture would be awesome because he actually has motivation and character for a villain.
I also want to see Brock Lesnar play the fucking Rhino. Maybe just for a James Bond like cliffhanger, but he looks just like the mother-fucking Rhino. -
Something about the 70s ones that was so funky. Tarantula, Lightmaster, Rocket Racer, Swarm (technically appeared in Champions first, I know), Punisher, Jackal, Grizzly, Carrion, etc.
All of those guys were just funky and so unlike his 60s foes.
Almost forgot Hypno-Hustler, but I think he actually appeared in the 80s (I could be wrong). -
Rhino would look so cool on screen...Maybe they should save him for a Hulk Sequel...
-
..the Rocket Racer...The Grizzly and Razorback...
-
You said Rocket Racer, and Grizzly...
-
He was the villian of the first issue of 'Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spiderman.'
-
But I would add Arcade because he first appeared in Marvel Team Up.
In fact, why did they have Arcade forget about his grudge against Spider-Man? I loved in the X-Men issue when Spider-Man calls Xavier Mansion and Arcade answers and tells him that after he is done killing the X-Men he will be gunning for Webhead next.
Loved that. -
And so did Black Cat.
-
Be back in an hour.

..I would get my arse banned from every LA Fitness in town. Coming from such a deeply, deeply ugly country I would be like a kid in a sweetshop (candystore).Plus my problem with gyms has always been boredom so I could really see that helping my motivation and taking my mind off the dull trudgery that is running on a treadmill!
-
I always brought my dvd's of 'Girls Gone Wild' for motivation...
-
I go twice a day during the weekdays. Morning is for lifting and seeing my trainer (3 times a week; I know him so I get a big discount), and at night I work out another half-hour so my metabolism is high when I go to bed. I live a pretty sedentary life during the week days so I try to get a pretty intensive workout during the day. Otherwise I am just sitting at a desk and a computer, watching TV, reading a book or sitting through a movie (I don't have many active hobbies except for maybe martial arts which I have to get back into).
But when I am on the treadmill I watch the TV that is in front of it. That is why I try to time my gym visits right when the Simpsons are on or else the news, or watch CNN Headline. I feel I am killing two birds with one stone (plus I listen to podcast when I run). -
That's what I call multi-tasking...Exercise, Simpsons and/or news, and oogling hot starlets' asses...
-
Plus...PODCAST LISTENING...
-
Is a Peruvian bump whistle and you are GOOD TO GO...
-
I did that once and nearly fucking slipped off the damn treadmill. I realize then that I have to keep my eye on the prize.
-
Not availible without perscription...Sorry I brought them up...
-
Your admitted 'prize' is a hard member..."The hardest part is not getting hard."Or, am I projecting my own interpretation onto your words...?
-
But I was being a little glib.
Plus, remember I said I had a will of iron. Part of that iron will is not turn my head and look at the hot chicks ass running next to me or in front of me. -
Comedy Central is playing EXTENZ infomercials, with the fabulous Frazaaa, or whatever her cock hungry name is...

Feel free to look...That's why SHE'S there....She want's to be Oogled...It reinforces her self image, or somthing...

Clock me out at 3:12 am CST...Nytol...

..it worthwhile. Whenever I was at the gym it was always the Jerry Springer Show or Jeremy Kyle. Its like 'Great - now I'm bored AND hoping that most of humanity gets wiped out'I take it from the sedantry lifestyle you are a creative type maybe? I've picked up some hints in the past that you are involved in making films at some level - anything I would have heard of?
-
I mostly work as an editor - online and offline. Offline I have done mostly b-movies (especially in the 90s) and some independent movies. I have also worked on reality TV and commercials. As an online editor I have worked on some movies, mostly independents again, TV shows and a lot of trailers.
Besides that I do a lot of other stuff in post production. Most recent thing I have worked on that is coming out is Black Dynamite and some Total Gym ads (with Chuck Norris!). -

10 Things They Really Fucked Up In The Spider-Man Movies
by continentalop
Kind of like my Star Wars Prequel list, but just associated with bad creative choices and character decisions. This list would be huge if we included casting decisions, plot/script and what not.
So here goes, from least annoying to most annoying fuck ups: -
...to 42071 yet? Did you meet Chuck himself Conti?If I knew I was meeting the guy who kicked Bruce Lee's arse I would definitely be hitting the gym hard. I'd worry that otherwise he would look straight through me like glass and I would have to crawl away and die of shame.
-
Spider-Man 2? Spider-Man 3? Spider-Man 4, 5 & 6? How fucking unoriginal. Everyone should have realized how much they would have pussed out on the series when they decided no to label the sequels Amazing Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man and instead went with such generic crap and Spider-Man 2 an 3. If Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and James Bond can have individual titles, so can fucking Spider-Man.
-
Ok, not a huge complain so that is why it comes in at number two. But by removing Spidey's mechanical webshooters you robbed something from Spider-Man's personality - his intelligence. Does Spider-Man ever out THINK his opponents in the movies? No, he just out fights them or tricks them or has some one come to his rescue. You never see him using his intelligence to solve a problem by using science or knowledge. The web-shooters were symbols of that intelligence, and any kid who can make those can also scientifically think his way out of a lot of problems (just like Spidey can).
Plus, how is artificial web-shooters hard to buy but every one was able to suspend disbelief that he was able to construct a $50,000 rubber Spider-Man costume all on his own using his Aunt May's sewing equipment? That costume is fucking advanced and harder to buy that a science nerd could make that but can't make a web-shooter.
As for how he should of got his costume, why didn't they have him try to get into show business like in the comics? That way it was his agent who forked over the cash and had someone make his costume. A lot more believable to me. -
I am still trying to figure out why he had to graduate from High School halfway through the first movie. I mean, it is the story of a young man learning about being an adult and having a moral code ("With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"), what better place for that story to take place then in High School were kids still act stupid and not considered adults yet. Hell, the act of graduation is the best metaphor for the process of turning from a child into an adult - you show that after he defeats a super-villain and we all understand he has come into his own.
Plus it robs the movie of such characters as Flash Thompson and Liz Allen. Liz isn't that important, but Flash is one of the best things ever in Spider-Man mythos. Peter Parker's bully as well as being Spider-Man's biggest fan. The guy isn't as one-dimensional as Raimi showed him (hell, he comes back a damaged vet and becomes one of Peter's best friends).
First movie should have taken completely in high school. -
Ok, I am not even going to go into wether or not Dunst was a bad acting choice or not. I am just going to point out a couple of flaws in how they depicted her.
First off, I think it was a mistake have her be a classmate of Peter's right from the beginning. Not only does it rob us of an adaptation of how she was introduced in the comic (not only the "Face it, you hit the jackpot line" but also the way they kept her hidden before she finally met Peter), but it also reduces her to the oldest cliche in the books - the girl someone grew up with. And guess what, those ARE NOT the girls you are supposed to end up with in fiction. That is why Clark Kent ISN'T going to end up with Lois - been there, done that.
Plus isn't it just pathetic to cater to the dump fantasy of being able to win over the girl you have a crush on? The comics actually had the balls to be more mature than that, they had Peter have a crush on high school hottie and stuck up bitch Liz Allen but never get her, instead dating Betty Brant and later Mary Jane & Gwen.
Why not have Liz Allen as the girl Peter has a crush on in the first movie but he quickly loses interest in her when his Aunt introduces him to his neighbor's niece, MJ. The new girl is always more interesting (just ask John Cusack in BETTER OFF DEAD). -
Ok, this problem is connected so I decided to list it together. First off Spider-Man kills the Burglar in Spider-Man 1, which goes against everything Spider-Man is about - not killing. Sure he didn't cold-blooded murder him, but he did help instigate his death. Such an act wouldn't inspire him to become a crime-fighter, it would inspire not to use his powers because he isn't responsible enough to handle them.
Secondly, Sandman is really Uncle Ben's killer? OK, besides the fact that this is completely out of left field, it creates another problem - not only is Spider-Man indirectly responsible for the death of the burglar, he also accidentally killed a INNOCENT MAN!
Fuck. The Spider-Man I know from the comics would turn himself in because he knows he committed a crime. He acted as judge and jury and unintentional executioner. There is no way Spider-Man/Parker would be be able to sleep knowing that he was responsible for killing a man who was innocent of killing his Uncle. You know, "WIth great power, etc...."
The other problem is with Sandman is a reluctant criminal. He was doing it for his kid. Is there any criminals (besides apparently robbers) who aren't victim's of circumstance? Norman was driven insane by the goblin formula, Doc Oct is controlled by his tentacles, Eddie Brock is being influenced by the Symbiote...is there anyone who is actually responsible for what he does? Because if Spider-Man is someone who understands that there is responsibility with great powers, the villains should be people who think great powers bring opportunity. That is how a theme is supposed to fucking work. -
Actually I don't like Venom. But if you are going to do him do him right. And that means you can't rush him. He is a character built by preceding events.
In the comics, Venom was created after Spidey got the symbiote in Secret Wars, rejected it and it bonded with Eddie Brock, a reporter who hated Spider-Man because he blamed him for his problems. So you have a lot of info you have to give to the audience, and if you rush it makes him seem stupid (much stupider than I think he is).
Why not introduce the suit in one movie and Eddie Brock, and then in the second movie he becomes Venom? Or maybe have the story play out in three movies, huh? Wouldn't that be smarter?
Of course, I have a theory that they rushed Venom because Avi Arad wanted to do a Venom spinoff and thought "we'll have him in one movie, do a spin-off right away and have another big franchise." This is known as counting your super-heroes before they get popular.
Side Note: Why the fuck have the suit just land in a meteor? How lazy. You have a fucking astronaut already introduced, John Jameson, so why not say he came down with the suit after his last trip into space? That makes a hell of a lot more sense and is much more plausible than just having the thing land near Peter (plus it gives another reason for JJ to hate Spidey, thinking he stole it to rob his son of his thunder). -
Ok, first off I have already said Peter should have only been in HS the first movie. Second thing is, Peter should have met Harry in college. WTF is a rich kid doing in a public school? His dad is a billionaire. The thing about him getting kicked out of private schools seems like such bs and just a lame explanation - when does Harry seem like that big of trouble-maker? And for smart kids who go off to college, their college buddies are their friends for life, not their high school friends (Just as Bill Gates or the guys from Google).
And I won't even get into his appearance as the New Goblin - that was just a lame way to get Franco to exit the series. I will bring up something else though - why didn't they have Harry develop a drug problem? That was one of the most interesting things they ever did with the character and it added extra dimensions with him (although his drug addiction to LSD was ridiculous; pills or coke or H would have been better). They should have made Harry a junkie.
And now with him dead it robs the world of an interesting Hobgoblin story line (I never would have made him the Hobgoblin, but one of the great things about Hobby is he is the return of a legacy of evil, and that effects Norman's son as well as Spider-Man). -
Now we are getting to the bigger fuck ups. The way they have handled the Stacys is a pretty big mess.
Raimi has not treated Gwen as a legitimate love interest for Peter - we all know that as long as MJ is around she is the first choice. So what kind of love triangle is this? And if they decide to bump off Gwen in a future movie it will hold no real emotional weight - MJ is his true love interest.
The funny thing is if they tried to do the opposite and kill MJ, it also wouldn't have any weight or significance because Raimi has spent the audiences interest in Mj by now. Fans are sick of her and want her to die. Killing her would be just a way to get her off stage and would hold no poignant meaning.
And besides the great love triangle between Peter and MJ in the comic, the other great thing about Gwen was that the opposite of Lois Lane. Lois loved Superman but hated Clark; Gwen loves Peter but hates Spider-Man (especially when she blamed him for her father's death). It was one of the great dilemma's in his comic book career - choose between the girl he loves or fulfilling his responsibilities. Fucking genius.
And while Captain Stacy hasn't been fucked up that bad, by not having Gwen be a more significant person in Peter's life if they ever chose to have him die it won't be as powerful as it was in the comic books (like I said above, Gwen has to love Peter and hate Spider-Man - what does he care if she hates Spider-Man when he has MJ around?). -
There is a number of problems with the Goblin, so let me make another list:
A) His costume: WTF were they thinking? He looks like a damn Power Ranger. Someone else said that the Green Goblin's costume is just as iconic as Spider-Man's; well that is a little bit of hyperbole but I will say he has a memorable costume. I'm not saying you have to duplicate it perfectly, but could you have added some purple into his costume, and maybe give him a tunic or something to add some spice. And give him a new mask. You want a rational for why he is dressed up this way, see below.
B) His modus operandi: The Green Goblin in the comics used weapons shaped and designed to resemble Halloween decorations and gimmicks. That is why he rode on a giant bat, throw pumpkins and wore a green mask. So maybe you should keep all of that by having him do stuff like pant jack o' lantern faces on his grenades, design gas bombs that look like ghost and repaint his glider so it looks like a giant bat. And if you want an explanation for why he is doing this, maybe have his transformation into the Green Goblin happen on Halloween. After killing Stromm or whomever, he is stumbling through Greenwich village, running into people in costumes until he finally stumbles upon a Halloween shop. It might not be a deep motivation, but at least it is motivation.
C) Legacy of evil. Sure Norman has fucked up his son Harry and left behind weapons and a Goblin formula, but imagine if he had killed someone close to Peter? Whenever a new Goblin appeared (or Hobgoblin) Peter would always have to worry that person might kill another loved one of his. I hate to get dramatic, but the sight of anything doing with the Green Goblin would be like a Swastika to a jew - a reminder of the worse thing that ever happened to them. Instead the Green Goblin is a reminder of a really bad inconvenience. -
I know I mentioned this a couple of times earlier, but this is the single biggest fuck up in this series. By doing the death of Gwen Stacy story line but not actually doing it has created a huge fucking vacuum in the entire franchise and i can't see how they will ever get around it.
That story is probably the most important Spidey Story ever (excluding his origin) and now it will never be adapted. Sure they might try to come up with a replacement story but it won't be as good as that (for reasons I listed above) plus as a die-hard Spider-Man fan I want to see them adapt that specific story. It is like saying you are a fan of Lord of the Rings but you don't want to see Gollum fall into Mount Doom with the Ring.
Also, I view the Death of Gwen Stacy as the support beam/column that would hold up this franchise. You could spend two or three movies getting to this point (introducing Gwen, the Gwen/MJ/Peter love triangle, the Death of Captain Stacy, Peter choosing Gwen, etc.) and after this you have enough material for two or three more movies (Peter recovering from Gwen's death, the Hobgoblin or a new Green Goblin appears, etc.).
And like I said about the Legacy of Evil under the Green Goblin, without the Death of Gwen Stacy who rob the sense of danger of dread when a new Goblin character appears. I mean, don't you think audience would be on the edge of their seats if the Hobgoblin had kidnapped MJ and took her to the same bridge that Gwen died at, and tossed her off. Would fate repeat itself or would Spidey save his love this time? Can't be done now thanks to someone's stupidity.
Ever since the first Spider-Man movie when they butchered this story line I have thought this franchise dead. -
I could have added my problems with Doc Oct and other problems in the movies, but they are minor compared to what i mentioned. And it is late.
Kaplan, if you are out there, good night (and no, I never met Chuck but I did get a free Total Gym). -
..point 6 expecially pertinent. Why is it that every villain nowadays has to be a good person turned bad through circumstance? What the hell is wrong with a dyed-in-the-wool bad egg who just sees what they want and takes it? Believe it or not these people DO exist in the world.

-
and here's why:Conti, you are absolutely right, Pete always used his smarts (being a wiz at science) to defeat his enemies, especially in the beginning of the comics. Like when he used rubber gloves to fight Electro, and didn't he vacuum up the Sandman the first time he fought him? Sure, it sounds silly, but at least he was thinking about his enemies' weaknesses. And while it does make sense that he would develop organic web shooters, he does rob yet another instance of showing Pete use his noggin. That, and the constant banter he did to keep himself from being scared, those core attributes are lacking in the movie. Essentially: who Spiderman was, plus the never-quit attitude. If you had those in place, it would have partially offset any other major issues within the movies, and made the movies more palatable. That said, I did enjoy the second movie.
-
They are an unfortunate side-effect of my IP Block workaround but they do manage to make me look stoopider than usual...
-
..I don't think mechanical webshooters would solve the problems of Spidey's characterisation as compared to the books. Raimi did make references to his intelligence and there was a small bit of banter between him an GG but if it didn't show enough then that is a problem with the script - not whether his webs were organic or not.
-
..it would emphasize how much Spiderman the hero was Peter Parker and NOT just the powers.
-
..seemed to flow very naturally after seeing the wall climbing and the spidey sense introduced. It wasn't as if they came out of nowhere - a lot of insects make silk but Spiders are known for their webs. Infact, thinking about it, if there were no webs what abilities does he have that are exclusive to spiders - he could just call himself Blue-bottle BoyExcept for the fact that he was bitten on the arse by a spider of course.
-
No, I don't think it solves the character issues at all, nor did I say it was the main reason, but just another piece to the puzzle in helping get closer to what he should be in the movies. And yes, you are right, there was some banter directed at the Goblin, but it just wasn't the same. Add to the fact that I always hated Tobey in the role, and he didn't come off to be as 'right'.
-
Tobey Macguire beeing too old to pass as a high-schooler meant that any chance of Flash being involved was right out - I think, like Conti, that TM is a great actor but I think the decision to cast him was probably made above and beyond any consideration about how to characterise PP in the films and Raimi just had to lump it.
-
..just checked IMDB and casting TM was Raimi's idea. It looks as well like other actors considered were all too old to play high-schoolers. Carry on.
-
all good points about Spidey...i dont know why writers and studios and directors cant have a game plan when they decide to tackle franchises (loved ones at that). jackson did it perfectly with RINGS...he directed them all in one chunk but even if he didnt do that, he had all the scripts at least.have an outline of where this is going...therefore you dont overload your films with villians, they seem consistent, and there is an end game. it doesnt look like a cash grab with each successive film, and they wont seem aimless.gwen stacy wouldve been a great 4th film had they done it your way..1-high school. 2-early life meet gwen 3-whatever4-death of gwen5-trauma from death6-enter MJ7-whatever8-whatever..thats 8 films..instead of 2.5

One day after sailing past Island 10K on the way to Island 1631, our luckless pirate schooner, with its crew inflamed by the combined passions of hubris and indecision, assaulted with confusion and blinded by the promise of siren titty, crashed into a giant rock. The survivors tried to make a go of it but were eaten by a ravenous two-headed beast of a Talkbackasaurus – just like a T-Rex only with the longer, less limp-wristed arms of Peter Jackson's V-Rex, greener teeth, three tails and voracious sexual appetites that made the rat-catcher's memories of his own wench pale. They made a movie of it. savagedave will be live-blooging it at some point, one hopes.
Meanwhile, in 1631...
A search of the archives revealed the founders of The Back-pedalback. Not the firsties, mind, but the members of the gang that fed the beast to the end and the order of their arrival: 6DB, Series7, Continentalop, Subtitles_Off and Stabby. Those five numbwits could never have done squat by themselves, so researchers are still trying to document the arrivals of the others.
Robert Novak is fucking dead. Good. Hell has his bed waiting.
We realized we lost two comrades. Two fellows died fighting the good fight. They are memorialized with a monument at The Baleback, Node 39976. Pay your respects in alcohol and women's under-garments. For Youngdog and GE, with tears in my eyes.
Youngdog was banhammered, as far as can be determined, because he was blamed for resurrecting an old thread. To banhammer the point home, The AuthoriTAY, installed a heavy gate at 1631 at 5:21:14 p.m., locking it forever. (Not before the assembled Backpedalers, including two newbies – Mr_George_Kaplan and MadFuckingMax, each with a familiar sense of humor and a righteous bone to pick - engaged in a furious and funny True Confessions session involving the exposure of former handles, previous bannings and a discussion of the many definitions of the word “faggot.)
GE was banned for shoving a mirror in the face of a Moderator and forcing him to look at how fat and ugly he truly was.
Meanwhile, in 41811, the original Home of Backpedalers...
The Grand Reopening and Homecoming of Limbo Posts.
A salute from Aquaf@g whose minions claim to have seen the fabled island 20K. You know how minions tend to exaggerate, though, so there's that to consider.
The theory that is currently being tested suggests that the banhammer, which did not reduce our tally but obliterated the posts of Youngie and GE, opened up a number of post slots equal to the subtracted ones.
6DB and savagedave have volunteered to maintain the fires, there. We will visit them frequently. One, we don't want 6DB to feel lonesome. He is Our First Founder and Keeper of The 10K Post. And, if left on his own, he might become lost in an endless loop of lousy Michael Jackson songs, shamone. Two, we don't want to miss another live-blog, and, according to savagedave, 41811 is the Official, Exclusive Home of Live-blogs. To prove it, he live-blogged CHUPACABRA: DARK SEAS with a brief assist from water_shit.
Meanwhile, at 41962, there was a reunion of The Original Balebackers, which seduced many of our merry fickle band for the evening. I had mis-read a post from 'Lop thinking he had complained about the number of fucktards at that thread, when, in fact, he had stated that he had run into fucktards everywhere upon LEAVING that thread. Whichever, I declined to visit because either way, 'Lop implied I was a fucktard. Or would be. Confusion! Seriously, keep an eye out and see what becomes of 41962. You might run into Stuntcock or Snowcone or Hawaiian Organ Donor, the AIBN men. If you haven't seen Aint It Bale News' exclusive scoop of the new AVATAR trailer, I will excuse you from this recap momentarily, so that you may.
A couple more moments.
Amazing innit?
Meanwhile, the merry band is scattered. Knowing that hiding in an abandoned thread is no longer viable and would probably cost another of our family, I suggested we adjourn to Node #42071. For some reason, no one wants to listen to me. Mr. George and Max give it a go but complain about the neighborhood. 6DB suggests we hide somewhere irrelevant and then suggests a thread based on a kiddie book. Well, I refuse to hang my dick out at a children's playground so I hightail it back to...
42071...
Good thing, too, because that's were anonymoose and Cheeses threw a party with leftovers and Diet Pepsi.
Being a Spidermanback originally, the attendees at 42071, including finky [winky @ finky] and 'Lop, discussed Spidey in comics and films. A conversation reminiscent of the Batman discussions we had three weeks ago to kick-start our journey. My balls were warmed with nostalgia this morn, reading their discussion, even though I have zero interest in Spider-man because Batman kicks hiss scrawny ass.
'Lop listed Ten Biggest Problems With the Spidey Films and confessed to editing Chuck Norris Total Gym ads. Oddly, he didn't mention editing Christie Brinkley's unaging cans. Chuck Norris beats everybody, I guess.
Cheeses discussed his workout regimen. Eight-pack abs, guaranteed. Or your money back. If you can find us.
Which brings us to The Present and points our noses toward The Future.
The two-headed beast lives, ripe for slaughter.
Node 41811 for live-blogs and other, until it's is slain or forever, whichever comes first.
Node 42071 for the further adventures of The Back-pedalers, until it reaches 10K or somebody in the Nolanverse does something which is reported here.Good morning. -

Marvel is hyping anew "motion comic." It's like a cartoon except all the characters are perfectly inanimate while the background moves. Yeah, worthless as that sounds.There's a new Batgirl. If you know anything about female Bat-characters, think of three. Now, eliminate the ones that you are interested in reading about, and who is left? Yep. She's the new Batgirl.Out of nine geeks present, I was the only one who knew what the heck AVATAR was. That oughta tell you something.I bought one comic. There has never been a time that I can remember when I walked out of a comic book shop spending less than $50 until today. That's how uninterested I've become in contemporary superhero soap opera.

You might think you want a cd recording of it, but when you listen to it the applause is kind of annoying and you prefer the album version of that tune anyway.I am saying, all they can do is restrict newbs from wisdom. They can't banish it from our minds.

...and its a good point.Knowing that life would go on without you keeps your feet on the ground. But as they ARE gone and this IS the internet I could always go around claiming that my posts read like a fuckin' Dylan Thomas poem. I could claim that every guess/prediction about a film I made had been right all along and that I had a flame written tablet from GOD HIMSELF saying that Star Trek was good to show Asi.But I won't as I don't want to be a dick

And you will be correct.Except for that bit about DAWSON'S TREK being good.And, since it is the internet, no one will doubt you, nor take the time to try to dispute it.

..6DB may have a problem - sooner or later pedalback is going to crash out of the top 10 after reaching 24 hours after 10K. Does SDB need to keep holding the fort - and if so if no-one else is there he might get done for keeping an old TB afloat.I say pull back - its not worth 6DB being banned. We all have the node ID for SD's live blog - post counts we don't want to use up.

on the idea of Peter Parker finding his sexuality as previously foreshadowed in Part III?

might be Don Quixote-style windmill taunting, but it is choice and his burning passion to see how far he can run the tally up. Applause.42071 merely exists in the shadow 41811 casts. A life-raft, if you will, that we shall ride while we watch the Grand Old Lady sink into the sea.The fear of banhammering isn't rational. The banhammer fell on an extinct thread that had been revived. That's killing a mummy. 41811 is a still-current thread. I believe he's safe there.I hope he's safe there.But, while I often visit, I like the refresh air about this place and the splash-guard toilets.It's a two-headed beast now.
-
Not to continually dwell on this. but I think it is a symptom of what was wrong with the series. A deviation for the Spider-Man character that made him less and less like the one I grew up with. Unlike Batman and Superman, there really is only one version of the character, he hasn't gone through as many different variations as the DC characters.
And if people can't buys webshooters, how the hell do they buy the costume? That thing is more advanced and sophisticated than the webshooters, and he did it with his Aunt Mays sewing machine and the spare synthetic rubber she keeps in the basement. -

I got cut off. After asking for a recap, I wrote:
"Ok, Subs is the one person here who is obviously not a 'tard. He is the only one here with the genius level IQ to follow what goes on in the Infinite Talkbacks to write a recap. But can he figure out if Killer Croc killed Jason Todd's parents or Batwoman? That is the real question." -
I was waiting for you to try and recap the last 24 hours, since we have been scattered to the four winds and then came here.
-
But Stan Lee originally wanted Peter to have organic web-shooters. His editor at the time shot it down, saying it was too weird. I think it makes perfect sense, really. Moreso than saying he invented the shooters and the fluid.

-
I think having strange tiny nipples on you wrist that shoot a sticky milky substance is just fucking creepy.
BUT I have always been a fan of compromise, and one thing I didn't list above but I have thought of is why didn't they do BOTH. Why not say he produces a web fluid out of his body but he designs web-shooters to help him control it and shape it? People who can't believe he could ever invent something as amazing as web-fluid are satisfied; and people who want to see webshooters are somewhat satisfied, and it shows how smart Peter is. He has a situation (he can create web fluid) and he comes up with a intelligent solution (he designs a device that helps him focus this ability). -
"I know, there's a problem with your face."
-
Before Crisis, he was an acrobatic kid from the circus whose parents are murdered by Killer Croc.
After Crisis, it was retconned that Killer Croc killed Batwoman and that Jason Todd was a street kid who was caught stealing the hub caps off of the Batmobile. His dad was a petty crook who was killed by Two-Face, and his mom (or adoptive mom, I can't remember) was really a double-crossing bitch who was helping the Joker.
At least I think that is what happened. -
parents were murdered by Killer Croc. He found out years later that his birth mother was not the same woman who had been murdered, so he reunited with her, only to find she was a whore and a drug addict who would sell her own son for some tasty Joker smack. Yes, the clown killed her, along with the kid. But, we all know death is not death in DC Comics. The real Momma Todd is now probably part of a Black Lantern three-way with the two people who raised her creepy little bastard.Kathy Kane was Batwoman, but she retired to run a circus. It's always a fucking circus in Gotham City. She was murdered by a brain-washed Bronze Tiger on behalf of Ra's Al Ghul's League of Assassins in order to draw Batman into their web. But of course we all know bad ideas never die in the DC Comics world (see above), so she is back. Only this time she's big-titted, red-haired, Jewish, and she doesn't find men sexually stimulating. They call her Kate, now, too.This isn't genius-level thinking. This is mild-fucktard-level thinking.
-
That would have been nice, but that ship left port long ago. I still prefer the organic shooters, creepy or not. I do have issues with the bone stinger they gave him a few years back, tho. Spider-Man shouldn't have ANYthing in common with Wolverine. Other than being an orphan I suppose.
-
of Killer Croc even knowing Batwoman. Maybe 'Lop has seen into the future and has now spoiled the upcoming DC "event" "RIP Batwoman."Killer Croc didn't murder Orca, either, but he did feast on her dead carcass.

That is why you are our Moe.

I know i read it somewhere, but I can't remember where. It is like I am privy to some sort of info that no one else is.
It is like a bad version of SOYLENT GREEN. "Don't you understand? Killer Croc killed Batwoman! Batwoman!"
Of course, unlike Heston, I am full of shit. -

But what about that fucking costume? How the hell did he make that thing? I want to see how the hell a high school kid sowed that thing with his aunt's sewing equipment and what he can find around the house. If he can do that, he is fucking Martha Stewart times a thousand.

You sure you don't want to reconsider?She's Batgirl.

I always thought of the costume as fabric, and not even special stretchy fabric. Maybe some poly-blend. But he doesn't need anything sturdier than that.
-
What is she supposed to be, like 13 or something?
And I have never been a big fan of her or Cassandra Cain (actually, I have CC). -
That thing looks like it would cost $100,000 to make, minimum.
-
I still can't believe that the same guy who penned the awful and dumb Darkness Falls is the same guy who wrote the brillant Zodiac. How can this be?
-
Hear Hear! Fuck Dan DiDio's DC! He obviously has some problems and would benefit from a couple hundred years of therapy. Of course, there probably are people who would say the same about me.

Same age as Tim drake, whatever he is.Old enough to have been Spoiler.Then Robin.Then dead.Then never-really-dead exiled to Africa with Leslie Thompkins.Then Spoiler-again.Then whatever.Now Batgirl.It's like, here, we've got this character that Chuck Dixon created to give Robin his own Mary Jane Watson (Gwen Stacy, whatever), but nobody likes the character or is interested at all in what happens to her. Let's put her in this outfit. No? How about this one? Still, no? Well, what a bout...NOW?Eventually, she'll replace Pamela Isley as Poison Ivy and turn into a lawn.
-
remember two days ago, guys, when we all thought he'd returned? Well now he has!Asi, I've missed you. We reached 10K. we all praised the way you handled those neo-Nazis.
-
The movie costume is obviously out of Peter's budget, not to mention his abilities. Same with the 'New Goblin', actually. Did Harry commission that helmet, or did he just tinker around in his dad's secret lab until he made something that works?
-
as well as DC.Villains and heroes alike keep costumes of all sizes and fits and functions available in a secret cache , to be used by their heirs in the case of their demise.

And the ultimate extension of your Legacy Law, Subby, was when Booster Gold and the new Beetle showed up with one of BB's Bugs to fly into space to take out the Mother Eye, or whatthefuckever. There are so many things wrong with that, I can't even begin. Well, except to say that two Bugs were destroyed in the events leading up to Ted's death and the Bug IS NOT EQUIPPED FOR SPACE FLIGHT! It never has been. There was one prototype that could, but that wasn't it. Fucking DC, I can tear their shit apart so easily it's pathetic.

who aren't here in the hopes that the Mods are monitoring and get all confused."Wait, is he talking to someone we banned.""Yeah, I think he is.""But, I didn't see him in there.""Of course you didn't.

Somebody's gonna have to tell Harry.""I'm not telling Harry. Remember the last time?

Fucking lame. I barely read '52', tho. I bought the issue where Booster 'died', and the last issue because it had Ted in it, so I had to buy it. And Booster fucking STEALS the scarab from Ted. Fuckin' ass.

what mediums have made you cry?Comics, films, music etc. Specify, you saps.xXxXx

Actually I had a kind of breakdown. Then I realized I was having a breakdown over a fictional character, and things got really weird. I cried when Optimus Prime died (I saw it in the theater when I was but a lad.) I cried at the end of 'King Kong Lives' when I was a kid. Ennio Moricone's 'Ecstasy of Gold' (The climax of Good Bad Ugly) tears me up sometimes, depending on what it's set to in my head.
-
Yeah, I think thats as far as I go. Wet eyes, but the tears never fall. Just mist up.Damn you, Ampersand, why'd you have to get old?Robots and Harry Callahan? I'll see you sissies in the morning.

I was having an emotional day, and when Leo dies in The Quick and the Dead, I cried a little. My grandmother was very confused. What can I say, I got big emotions.

And for some reason, once, when I was listening to Peter Gabriel's SO and Kate and Peter were singing "Don't Give Up," right as Pete started singing, "Gonna walk out of here...," I lost it. Embarrassed the hell out of myself.No excuse for it.

but I've seen it on Television before. I believe it was on the Independent Film Channel.

Good work on the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. But really, have you ever seen 'Man Bites Dog'? Great French mockumentary. It's got a Criterion DVD. You should check it out.
-
i think its pretty damned good--far superior than the oft-compared GUMP.
-
I see. That would be the place for it. Looked up 'Dead Man's Shoes' on Imdb. Impressive cast.
-
I used to like that movie a lot. I saw a little bit of it a while ago and I had to turn it off because I didn't want it to ruin my memory of it.
I look at that as a young man's film. I think when you get older and more stubborn about what is right and wrong, it is harder to watch that film. IMO. -
Hmm, food for thought. And yeah, I haven't seen it in years so I may be off, geographically. Don't they speak French in Belgium?
-

in the spider-meng movies, I would lose all hope in the universe.
-
But I have some French friends who always hate it when people refer to a Belgium movies as French, even if they are speaking French. Let me tell you, French people are super anal about "Frenchness." You think Americans and Brits make fun of each other's accents, the French absolutely despise other people's French accents, like being from Quebec. No wonder everybody speaks English and not French, who wants to be told you sound like a hick?

are more stubborn than younger people?I find that odd as hell.Younger people are FACKING know-it-alls who think old people should crawl away and die.You're never going to hear an older person say, for example, "DISTRICT 9 was the most moving and amazing thing I've ever seen in my life."That would never come out of the mouth of anyone older than 24.
-
dont stand next to the guy in the showdown in the wild west..
-

-
No man, straight up nice cast. I like that Paddy Constantine guy especially. Sorry it took so long to respond-lunch break.
-
But I think younger people are more accepting of new and different things. It is no surprise that Jazz, Rock N' Roll, The British Invasion, The French New Wave, The New Hollywood, and the Indie Film Scene of the 90s were all pushed by young people.
I think young people have a different take on morality than older people. They are willing to accept different ways of thinking (about homosexuality - which is good, and about having amoral characters - which is bad sometimes), but at the same time they wine like the little children about how unfair life is. No shit. Now get me another cup of coffee. -
Never seen either version of 'The Vanishing', but I smelled a stinker when I saw the trailer for the American version. And I'm from Arkansas, so I know from sounding like a hick. I decided in the second grade that I absolutely was not going to have a southern accent. And I don't.
-
all those cultural movements were pushed by people who are now old.What have young people done for us lately?
-
They served me a delicious bowl of beans and rice. Does that count?
-
Ok, I think their taste sucks shit, but in there defense they have been raised to like crap.
And also, I am going to take it that pretty much everyone here is from Generation X. Well, we were a big bunch of whiners too (but at least we gave the world Grunge and some directors).
Finally, it is young people today who are actually fighting a war, while guys are age are most likely playing MOH or watching the Discovering channel wishing we fought with Patton.
But yeah, young people today have no taste. They are artistically dead. I agree 100% what Ebert wrote. -
I woulda pushed that sonofabitch into traffic. Nah, not really...I'm not big on sourkraut. Really shitty death for one of our greatest heroes, tho.

'Lop is not older than me after all.Respect your elders, bitches! We took war seriously and held our leaders accountable for its damages.It was you youngsters who came up with all that Rambo "Do we get to win dis time?" bullshit.

Every generation believes the subsequent to have shitty taste
by toadkillerdog
Conti, you and I are roughly of the same age, but I guarandamntee you that people in their sixties or seventies who think we are less knowledgeable and our tastes are not as good as theirs. I love Sinatra, but how many 40 something still like big band swing, or crooners? Sure you will find some, just as you will find some 20-somethings who do, but as the generations pass, less and less will. Things change, Times change. Bread cost 10 cents in the 20's, but what percentage of the weekly household budget was represented by that 10 cents? A lot of us think we live in the golden age, and our tastes are paramount, but the turn of the last century people had an appreciation of books and literature and music, that the WWI generation did not, and the fifties certainly did not, because TV became king. Look at movies from the thirties when most people had no concept of TV, and radio was still in infancy. They spent more time reading and listening to their edison's but the radio also ushered in people being removed from pastoral pursuits. Technology does that.

The Generation With No Clever Logo. Younger than hippies but older than Gothers. We were abandoned and confused after the first oil crisis and Watergate, and many of us joined a cult that forced us to wear pastel sweaters around our necks and chant mantras to douchebags who promised we'd get rich. Now, we're all bitching about how things haven't turned out the way they learned us in school. But we shat all over that cult. We liked your guys and your grunge, because it reminded us of our punk, but then we couldn't believe you abandoned it so quickly for whiner metal. And, we don't let our kids listen to Zach Effron and the Disney chicks. That's all you. We lined up to watch STAR WARS the first time. Those of us who thought, "Yeah, fun, but, whatever" once out-numbered the rest, but then we got confused. I think it had something to do with the Kool-Aid they served at those cult meetings I mentioned. I never attended those.Hope that clears it all up.

I am not big on the whole "this generation is better than that generation" thing, because since the time of Aristotle and before people have been complaining about kids.
BUT, I do think we are entering a culture black hole. And I don't know if you can blame kids nowadays. It is always the generation previous who leads them. The New Hollywood films of 60s & 70s were not being directed by Baby Boomers, but by members of the Silent Generation. It is my generation, Generation X (born in the mid 60s to late 70s) who are setting the pace for this generation, and while we might have produced QT, Grunge, Chris Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson, we have also produced Kevin Smith, Michael Bay and a bunch of crap.
I also think marketing has been one of the reasons that stuff sucks now. Marketing has become such an exact science they can force almost any stupid shit down our throats, and young people are the most susceptible.
I think Craig Ferguson (whom I am not a fan of) spelled it out best:

40's had Sinatra. 50's had Elvis. Sixties produced no singular talent that overshadowed the rest because it was dominated by Beatles. 70's likewise. 80's Michael Jackson. 90's? 2000's? There may be one on the rise, but who?
-
Tupac over Cobain because he was murdered instead of committing suicide - it is a "cooler" way to go.
And 6DB is right, it is Britney. She has led to the entire style over substance that dominates not only music but film and TV. She has led to reality TV, Paris Hilton, Megan Fox and people being famous for being famous.
The two of them are part of the new idea that the music is not as important as the music icon. -
i would have to say Cobain would take Tupac..though both are "modern poets" to these young kids..
-
BUT I am always surprised to find out how many more young kids are aware of Tupac than Cobain. He has a bigger cultural impact (and I think Cobain in way more important and talented).
-
I think singular talents as icons are even more powerful. I would agree that Tupac represents 90's, but even he does not rise to level of an Elvis, Frank or MJ. Tupac is more of a Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin. Cobain more of a Morrison.

So I was driving home from work, zoning out to some music, and I stopped at a red light. I heard a scream, no it was not the music. I looked through all the windows until I spotted a man beating up another man on the sidewalk. He looked to be about 6 feet tall, the attacker. Anyway, I turned off the music and looked around the street and saw that I was alone. I looked back at the two men and the attacker was standing up over the other guy, bloodied but alive, and the attacker was staring at me. Glaring is more like it. He reached into his coat jacket and pulled out a black object, which I instinctively thought was a gun, so I ducked. It was a cell phone, which he appeared to be using to take pictures of me and my car. At that time, seeing a cell phone kicked my reflexes into gear and I immediately started for my phone, but I forgot that I left it at the office to charge overnight, being that I would just use my other cell at home. Boy, was I scared! By this time, the light had turned green and I gunned it. I looked in the rear view and the guy was looking at me as I sped off. I raced home to call the cops and give them my description. I got home and told my girlfriend about what had just happened and she said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.” I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything, I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes, to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo, holmes, smell ya later!” Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

By the way, I agree with that Craig Furgeson clip, even though I don't watch him. I liked him on Drew Carey though, he was pretty, uh, out there. Shit, I've dropped Conan too. Bringing Andy back, didn't help. He's just not the same to me anymore. Now, it's just Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert that I really try to catch regularly. -
There are more books published in the USA per capita now than ever before. To be precise, there were 10,352 books published in 1928 (i'm being generous - the number dropped to just under 8,000 in 1932) as opposed to 56,129 in 2008 ... and, no, the population did not quintuple in that time. Perhaps you could use the argument Americans have more disposable income now (and we undeniably do) and people borrowed others' books more "back in the day" ... but the suggestion book sales are dying in USA is hideously inaccurate. Now. music sales on the other hand...

Just to be accurate

...and put them on ebook readers now. I don't see that as a danger to the print industry, though, since ebook readers are still so expensive. Also, I've never actually seen anyone anywhere have one of those things.
-
A lot of that increase can also be attributed to the rising literacy rate. But I think the point being made was that previous generations enjoyed a greater breadth of classical literature as opposed to just the latest bodice-ripper. To be sure, bodice-rippers, and detective stories and pulp made up a good portion as well even back then.
-
Is that it becomes so easy and convenient to just download a book, that people will stop getting the print version. That is exactly what is happening to newspapers. I am guilty of reading most newspapers online now. I hate ebooks, and although I can not see myself ever allowing them to replace a good book, I can see myself become a minority if ebooks truly catch on.

I was at a library recently and I noticed a kid sitting at a table playing with a Nintendo DS. Sad.

Comedy Central is playing part 2 of the Imagination land episode of South Park...Love that episode...Jesus and Wonder Woman sitting side by side...
-
all I gotta say is.....*in a Jerry Seinfeld voice* EEEEhhhhhh...could've been better. Alot better.
-
What is needed is a 9 1/2 X 11 inch clipboard size in every way...or maybe even smaller to carry in a purse or pocket. Book is released, pre-orders get first downloads...downloads replace the New York Times bestseller list..Replacing all the timber to paper industry will save the environment and all but it will put many hundreds of thousands of people out of a job.On the other hand, I will demand that prices for downloads stay below 10 bucks...no matter how big a down load...Comics need to be the same way...But, then we lose the geeky time we have talking to other geeks at the local comics shop, and many geeks might never even meet...And, inside of 20 years no one will understand the Simpson's reference "Best Issue Ever"...

Hated to have to leave in the middle of that generational argume
by subtitles_off
A generation is defined by its intellectual curiosity.I'm sorry, but no one is going to tell me the singular musical icon of the 80's is Michael Jackson. That's revisionist theory because the noseless freak is dead, so now we're supposed to appreciate him. The singular musical icon of the 80s might be Madonna, sorry to inform you. The 80s was full of talentless crap, and she represents it better than anyone. The artisitc icon, musically, was Prince. Michael Jackson was an also-ran.Look, Sly Stallone is the same age as Paul Mccartney. 4 years different. They're the same generation. You can't tell me Sly Stallone ever had his finger on any generational pulse. he's an aberration. Succesful, maybe. But, still, an aberration.Tupac? Get out of here with that. 10% of the population - if that - can name a Tupac song.Stubborn as I sound, I discovered my "cultural self" once I had dispensed with my twenties, and the obsession of that age to measure things by sales figures, and decided to cast my net beyond my immediate surroundings. Unless you have done that - unless you have really enjoyed the discovery of something that has always existed but you have ignored - then you really need to be cautious. Your mind is still waiting to be filled.
-
You're absolutely right, RE: D9.
-
Society will die. Reading teaches you the skill to think. To fill in the blanks. Technology teaches you nothing - it delivers you everything. Become dependent on technology at your own peril, kiddies.

And i told them about the time I did the macarena with "Diane" from the "Jack and Diane" video, and the three of them looked at me like I was speaking Latin with a Spanish accent.
-
Sounded like you were speaking french in Russian...
-
Fuck your cost analysis. I fthey printed fewer crap books, they'd have more pulp available for the good stuff.
-
Love Jack and Diane and the macarena..You fuck her?

They were unimpressed.So, I showed them my "little ditty."

Batman re-envisionation over at 41811?

But, it wasn't love-making, either - that's for sure.
-
still sounds queer as all hell.
-
The author/creator gets 15% of a $29.99 hardcover. 15% of a 7.99 paperback. That ain't right. Production costs account for much higher percenteges. I might read more books if they were 22% cheaper...

-
I'm having many thoughts at once because I can. Learning to read, I developed that skill.The argument that we need to read books has nothing to do with authors' issues with publishers.Writers who think they can come up with a more beneficial business model using digital technology, are spiting their face by feeding their nose to the dogs.
-
Publishers are capitalists and that is what capitalists do. Your argument is not against books. It is against capitalism.
-
I love capitalism. But, I hate paying retail...
-
and, why is re-cycled paper more expensive than regular paper?
-
that capitalists would sell us down a dried river. So, why all of a sudden, now, are we worried about FACKING drug companies and their competitive advantage or disadvantage against the government?How much do you pay for drugs?How is providing an alternative a challenge to competition? Competition requires more options not fewer. You've never had an option (unless of course you're rich). You've always been dependant on the choices made by your boss. If he decides he can pay X, you're health care will cost Y. You've got ZERO say.What kind of fucking idiot is in favor of a corporation making their choices?You hate the government but love Eli Lilly? Are you serious?
-
Capitalists insist they have to spread the cost of the process on to the consumer. That's why recycled paper costs more.You still haven't explained why we have to publish 3 million copies of crap with Fabio's picture on the cover.Legally mandate that they use recycled paper and not pass the costs on to the book buyer. They'll survive. Maybe they'll survive by publishing less crap. Believe me, they'll find a way, and they'll still make money.Fuck this noise.
-
Too goddamn much...$60 for an ounce of popcorn...
-
..have I ever been serious?
-
Even when I'm being seriously funny.
-
You'd think somebody who read books would know the difference.
-
Communism is flawed.Fiefdom is flawed.No human co-existance is without flaw.It's kinda like the yellow impurity in the Green Lantern rings...
-
Capitalism isn't flawed. Capitalism is evil. The success of capitalists depends on the failure of other capitalists. Based more on luck and advantage than on value.Ayn Rand can suck a dick. Pent-up cunt.

Every piece of mail I get offering me savings on a credit card or whatever, I cut out coupons from other junk mail and mail it back to them.Hey, they pay the postage and somebody has get paid to open it...
-
I was gonna go Sunday....But, then I got high...
-
You don't ask for it.You gain no benefit from it.Resources are wasted creating and distributing it.Get FACKING rid of it.
-
And that one chick at work keeps raving about it, but, since you guys all say it isn't the second coming of Star Wars, I might wait for the DVD...
-
"Bulk mail is relatively inexpensive advertising!"And the Pitney Bowes lobbyist is blowing a Congressman's cock.Obama.Get the FACK rid of bulk mail.

-
we are going to live by our mission statement and provide the viewer with the best entertainment. Sure, we are going to become wealthy as a result of providing a service that people want, but we are not going to devote our every waking moment to maximizing our profits. We will be satisfied.
-
Guess I'm weird that way... Now, if someone will just invent the THC patch, I will enjoy more movies in the theatre.
-
before the show...then by the time the previews are over, you're sober...
-
There isn't a single moment of that movie that is original.So, if you miss a part when your server comes to your table, you haven't really missed anything, and you've gotten a cheeseburger.

And I don't even smoke.There's not a single scientific proof of second-hand smoke causing cancer.Cancer is just as likely caused by what we eat and our environment.There isn't even indisputable evidence that smoking causes lung cancer. Certainly, it is a contributing factor to some cases, but some smokers never get lung cancer. Explain that.The anti-smoking thing is just the result of some uppity bitch who didn't like the smell of her scarf when she got home from a night at a bar.Which is a different argument than saying people who smoke shouldn't sacrifice some of their health care benefits. same for overweight people. You chose to live unhealthily, suffer the consequences.

I think we should come up with our own original programming. And one of our shows should be about a sexy super-heroine who fights crime and has sex. Have it on after midnight.
Think of it as Red Shoe Diaries for the super-hero set. -

It's our bread and butter and strawberry jam.

Here is a description of Black Scorpion. Read it, you might want to change your mind:

I smoke cigars and weed...I will be 47 this Saturday...I have done everything I ever expected to do in this world except have a book published...I just buried my 91 year old grandmother a month ago.I do NOT want to spend the 20 + years she did alone in a nursing/hospice home... That was the general consensus among my immediate family...
-
No one in my family has died before the age of 85.That is a fucking nightmare to me.
-
As long as she wore that costume...
-
I'm the oldest merfer in this jizz-oint by a year!FACK!

I just realized how much Raimi, Avi Arad, Ziskin, and Sony just didn't get the character. Think about it; in the Spider-Man movies he is treated as a hero. People help him fight the Green Goblin, try to stand up against Doc Oct, hold a parade for him after saving Gwen Stacy, and he is always looked at with admiration. Even Aunt May talks nice about him.
Does this sound like the Spidey from the comics? Hell no. In the comics people hated him even after he saved their asses. The point was that he did the right thing because it was right, even if it didn't make him popular. It isn't hard to be a hero when people admire you and like it, it is when you sometimes wonder what the point of being a hero when people will just hate you tomorrow.
Another fuck up that goes on my list. -

It's the wheel of fortuneIt's a leap of faith[something something] hopeUn til we find our place on a path unwindingIt's the circlethe circle of life

It's "breeze"Fuck off anyone who says otherwise.I've got the vinyl album notes right in front of my face.
-
My sister looks cute, in her britches and boots...A handful of grease is a totally appropriate interpretation...
-
Just admit it or fuck right off.
-
I respect the vinyl album notes...Still seems in appropriate...

it isn't "ribbons" or "britches"
it's BRACES -

when I'm damn good and ready to give it.Who DEFUCK started this recap shit anyway, and why was I nominated?
-
It's like an unemployed merfer can't go out and get drunk anymore, because he's gotta write some fucking recap for some guys who are too lazy to scroll the FACK up.Jebus!
-
..And I was here...So, fuck 'em, Subs...Let them wait til you're ready...
-
me they'd just take me for granted if I went around with my dick dangling out like that.

..that's okay, too...

They want a FACKING recap, by Bale, they're gonna get a damn recap!AndThey're gonna like it, too!Dammit!

It'll still be fizzy when they re-open it.That's right, merfers!

for every person self confident enough to post here, there are dozens if not hundreds of people who lurk...They will never contribute to anything but their own demise...

That just might be the saddest thought ever.Bitches type something please.It's not like we're naked ladies, and it's fun to gawk at us.
-
Now I gotta go to bed all sad and shit.
-
..is a sure sign that I need to GO to bed.... I'm off all day tomorrow...
-
I'm putting the lurkers in tomorrow's recap.Suck on that, y'all anonymous y'alls.
-
What you type today will be your legacy of tomorrow...Embrace your place in existance...And, never go to bed sad...
-
is the best way to go...After a massive coranary dumping your semen into a hot cum dumpster...

I call NYTOL...See you later, Subs...
-
i cannot watch those melodramatic blubbering boreshits with that saggy pussy granny, snaggletooth and zero personality toby mcguyver. what a miserable mess of a series.
-
just wait for a TREK thread...like a shark to blood.
-
..with Asi about Trek. I've done it before I'll do it again. I understand Subs' loyalty to the crazy portuguese bastard but at the same time it IS possible to love someone and tell them they are wrong. To be honest it isn't about Trek anymore - its more about being so filled with pain about ANYTHING that you find yourself in a world of hurt.I don't want to see ANYONE I like living in that place.

eyeballs fiddled with? I like it

I don't remember yesterday.
And, I'm having a hard time reading my notes...
42071
Anticipation for EVIL DEAD4 (never gonna happen) and upcoming video games.
At 1:30:29 p.m. The Backpedalers held the top three positions in AICN 's Top Ten Talkbacks. It lasted six minutes.
Organic web-shooters mess 'Lop up as much as Baleman's rubber muscles mess with me.
anonymoose had a harrowing experience, witnessing a violent mugging / fight / possible homicide.
I've told you before, the tears of men are nothing to be ashamed of.
Belgium. Movies? Or just waffles?
The stubbornness of youth. The smell of old people. The Generation Gap was discussed. No conclusions were made. It was discovered that I'm the oldest merfering backpedaler.
Cheeses thinks books should become ipods, or something. On this subject, Cheeses is smoking crack.
Also, Elton John songs were sung with mangled lyrics. Liner notes were drawn. Somebody explain liner notes to the youngies.
Alcohol makes some people mean. It draws their bitterness to the surface and twists it into an ugly, foul-breathed, loud and murderous thing. Other people can handle their booze.
41811
savage says those of us who have taken refuge @ 42071 are weak!
Still no word from Orcus. I think Orcus may be a myth, but one of our clan claims to met him. He was yanking Yeti chain at the time while riding The Loch Ness Monster doggie-style.
At 1:30:29 p.m. The Backpedalers held the top three positions in AICN 's Top Ten Talkbacks. It lasted six minutes.
A list of stand-up comedians. Dane Cook was mentioned. Daniel Tosh and Demetri Martin weren't. Eddie Murphy was a comedian? Really? The Disney dude?
Stephen King's Favorite Summer Films. I was surprised that four of the ten are actually good.
Fresh apple turnovers! Yum!

-
Shake it like a polaroid picture.

Fuck spelling with Cheeses' dick.Spelling don't matter when you live during The Age of The Dumb-nut.All that matters is that Batster engages his chubby and saves Metropo.
-
The employment was supposed to last for awhile, but suspiciously we workers kept receiving frantic messages from our supe's about how we should speed up. The fact that my employment with them lasted about 1/10 of the length it was supposed to leads me to believe I wasn't one of the people to reap the benefits of "hurry up we're almost there!@#@#%!!!"

"You'll have your job tomorrow."Twats.

Fuck off, son. The War on Terror hasn't gone quite the way we expected.
-

-
He read your script and didn't understand it.Closed-minded noob.
-
That sucks man.
Batster would kick the shit out of those fucks if he got ahold of this information. -
are also in charge of the movie industry.
My script for batman 8 is too classy for them.
-
Just the hero we deserve.Or some confusing shit like that."You live long enough to become a fucktard or you die without getting yout taint tickled."What DEFUCK was TDK really about?"Escalation!" yells the crowd of fanboys."Nothing," whispers the one dude who knows.
-
and a cuppa brew.
Keep it real subster. If you see batster tell him i think my wife needs a good fucking...shes been irritable today.

You can cheat on The Pedalback.I mean.We all expect that every once in awhile. The mind wanders. The eyes see something shiny. A man's gotta dip his wick in that, or he ain't a man. It's excusable.But AVATAR? Really?AVATAR is for pimpled boys who ain't got their first taste of real pussy yet.Do NOT cheat on The Pedalback with AVATAR.We will be forced to take the 10K away from you.

..he didn't fucking do it.Read the excellent investitigative journalism by Paul Foot and John Ashton to find out more about how governments are willing to trade peoples souls (270 in this instance) for diplomatic relations.
-
That sounds much more important than who Bradley Cooper is fucking.Can you please track down some url or something, so I can learn something?
-
That's so 1970s.
-
Is not allowed in America. We're cracking down on that kind of elitist thing.Did you hear about the sports asshole who tweeted while getting arrested?
-
ruined the legacy of one Republican Presidential sumbitch.That's why America outlawed investigative journalism.Investigative journalism is a bummer.
-
was abducted by U.F.O.s over The Bermuda Triangle.
-
that one man's "investigative journalism" is another man's "conspiracy theory." Thusly, The Powers That Be keep the truth polybagged and catalogued.Look over there! Some celebrity has a sex tape on YouTube!Easy answers, baby. The truth? It's no longer mint. it's edges are frayed, and it's marred by too many fingerprints.http://tinyurl.com/myw9tm
-
I don't understand.I waited all day to see it having read the hatred its venting, and it is stunning.It looks cartoony, granted. But it looks pehnomenal.The effects work is easily the best I've ever seen. The Na'vi look like they could be real, or at least be standing there in cartoony suits with lifelike properties.
-
It is a natural and instinctive backlash against hype.When you are told something will change everything, and that something limply flashes you a small penis, you are likely to say wait-a-minute.The hype machine has done AVATAR an irrevocable dis-service.Whether it blows your mind or not, it's a movie with cartoon characters running around blowing shit up. That's all that it is.That's really not a game changer.
-
that American familes are "outraged," while British families, having heard more of the facts and details, are "compassionate" regarding the release of "terrorist bomber" Abdel Baset al-Megrahi.

Let God sort 'em out. Seems like he isn't busy doing anything else.
-
I was just thinking of Tobey Maguire & J.K. Simmons doing the commentary on the very first Spidey DVD. It was on some website, not on the actual disc, you could watch and listen simultaneously... anyway... They were making jokes like "That'll be explained in Spider-Man 7 or 8..." Watch it actually happen.
-
good old avatar.
I was once excited about the film on a technological level. I guess for the sake of enjoying it I will anticipate it differently now... knowing what it is ...a complex animated movie.
I dont know what it is about these movie directing old men Cameron and Spielberg who think they know what a photoreal jungle looks like.
I would have liked to see how Kubrick would have handled cg.
-
He wouldn't have made AVATAR until they can grow some real giant blue cats in a lab.
-
and ruin his movie DREAMS.Kurosawa died giving CG the middle finger.
-
and invented CG. After, he looked at it and said, "meh."
-
because CG has little titties.
-
sighed.
-
masturbating with their action figures.
-
but decided he would rather kill actual black people.
-
would've used CG birds. You know he would've.
-
are fuming tears and blood over it.It doesn't look like people, but it never would. It looks like real world animatronics or very good make up effects. Not only that, but the action seems to be spot on.I had been looking forward to this, then expected a decent film only after todays kerfuffle. The truth is, at least from the trailer, it is photorealistic. As in, it looks like the Na'vi could be standing there.I'm not going to tell anyone it'll fuck their eyeballs, but I honestly cannot understand what anyone else was expecting to get them so wound up.
-
John Lennon has crawled out of his crypt and dug up Peter max's bones so he can bash that cunt Zemeckis' brains in with them.
-
...I'm still laughing at the image in my head of Kubrick raising his blue avatar cats and verbally abusing them into decent performances.
-
Only really exists here. Is not like you've been bombarded with publicity for it. Cameron made a few statements years ago about how good it would be and then its people here who have done the rest. Who gives a shit about the backlash, if it's only people on AICN who are ranting about it?
-
"It looks as if the Na'vi could be standing there" is not something adults give a shit about.This thing is being sold as something really special. And. It. Isn't.Did you really expect people not to notice the emperor spent fourteen years naked?
-
Nobody else gives a shit.
-
if he could find the time to get Martin Scorsese away from his dick.
The Martster is gay for Hitch in a big way -
gets drawn into a long interdependent relationship with a vicious cunt of a lab-made giant blue cat.

Subs, you go tme so drunk last night one of my daughters cats got out when I stepped out back to smoke a cigar around 3 am...I was talking to my next door neighbor and two fat chicks when I noticed the kitten freaking out when I came back in.My daughter is gonna be so pissed...Thats the second time this week...
-
looks like it could be actually standing there.God, that's funny!
-
Blue cat bred in test tube, spends whole of film moaning about absent father.
-
to that door...
-
I FACKING hate cats.
-
You KNOW that was funny.
-
Belittles them by constantly talking about great cats he has known, Lion-O, Garfield etc
-
then blows them the fuck up in huge explosions...
-
its just perplexing, not worrying.With regard to "the Na'vi standing there", my only point was how impressive it was given what I'd read about the trailer. I'm not giving birth to little blue kittens over this. I found the reaction weird, but then, other TBs in AICN tend to be hate-fuelled.

Lars Von Trier decides to use lab-made blue dogs instead
by subtitles_off
He can't get the cats to stand on their mark.
-
his blue cats have a sense of realism.
-
and makes a blue cat movie.
naturalistic witty banter is tough to translate to cat meows but he pulls it off for the most part. -
into a long meaningless monologue about Superman and forgotten sixties garge band songs.The audience leaves the theater.Entertainment Weekly writes an article about the end of blue cat cinema.
-
"garge"
-
A good place to start would be here;http:// tinyurl.com /loo5mjIf not then google 'a flight from justice'. Paul Foot (RIP) used to write for Private Eye, a bi-weekly magazine that is dedicated to picking the scabs of issues avoided by other news sources.Its no crank rag either, half the people who contribute are journalists disatisfied about their employers and their agendas. Most of the time everything they have said gets vindicated years later when it all comes out in the washThe current editor, Ian Hislop, currently holds the record as the most sued man in England. He's only lost twice.
-

SeriouslyThat Pacino comment?I'm still laughing.
-
for playing a blue cat.Blue cats everywhere agree her accent was incredibly convincing.

and films it atop the Empire State Building swatting bi-planes...
-
Hire diarrhea.Sure, he's funnier than you are, but you can exploit that for your own gain.
-
to use for target practice...
-
and i meant no disrespect to Mr max....
I can see what he was saying
-
is still less convincing than my baby sister's blue cat puppet.
-
CG, however, is holding its bleeding ass and saying "Ow."
-
That made me laugh harder than anything we've ever done.Those that weren't here missed something ground-breaking.
-
Pacino dig....well played.I'll be back with mine shortly.

..about this and I'm a big fan of JC and I was at the right age for T2 to rock my world and Aliens for me is an 80's classic and I read prophecies of eyeballs being raped with advanced cgi that looks just like a MAN IN SUIT and I see trailers on spin-off sites that make me laugh and Sam Worthingtons egg shaped noggin on the stills and all the while I'm thinking do I actually give a shit about Avtar. And the answer is just no. Honestly, unless I get tickets for Imax this thing isn't even getting on my DVD list. There, I said it.

..though giving a shit is a whole different matter.
-
We won't give a shit when you're in Singapore.
-
blue?If not, then it should have been...
-
..someone having a pop at Asi should raise their game.Anything less than a paragraph and you are just trolling. For a start Asi is portuguese not 5 years old.

Sorry I missed your Ashton Kutcher-looking ass.

You guys are FACKING brilliant!You all make me question my heterosexuality. You really do.

..after spending some time in the world's cleanest city and topping up my tan on a beach in 30C all year weather I was planning to come back here and tell my old pal GE all about it. I guess I won't bother now.
-
Have him go back in time and change everything.Delete Spiderman 3 and X-Men 3. Save us Cable!!(and don`t make him a black man!! Use the Bishop character then!)
-
Welcome back to the land of the adults. You are always welcome here.Nobody here ever even mentions blue cats.
-
He's still not comfortable with his true emotions.
-
I would never turn my back on a single Pedalbacker.Especially one that has the benefits of no longer living in the UK.ie./ Has been exposed to women that are actually beautiful.

Once he realizes his days-late post is lost on a buncha dudes who don't give a shit?

It's unnecessary.I said so, and I'm the eldest.Respect your seniors, you little cunts!

..I'd have to say I'm disappointed.He's been missing for days and he's got as far as 'pennis'? The dojo-loving mother fucker I know is much funnier than that.Sub's recap on the 18/08/09 (thats UK date standard chumps) hints at the Kai being '_' IMPOSTER but aside from the fact that he hasn't been around how do we know. And if it is Cobra why not bother to turn up for appearence sake. He can't be that dumb.
-
He's still pretending to be Asi. So, to be convincing, he can't be too funny.
-
has done nearly 2000 posts in less than a day.If The Back-pedalback loses its legendary status to an AVATAR thread, I'm gonna hunt all of you fickle bastards down and cut your scrotums off.

It's a wank-off.
-
At second glance, I see what you mean.
-
People expected to "have their eyballs fucked" and instead shit bricks when it doesn't live up to the hype.
-
..and to be honest it look like The Grinches on Wookieworld. I picked up a hint of Mel's Apocalypto with Dances with Muppets on the side. My overall opinion hasn't changed. At least we know now that Sam Worthington is at least 90% CGI. And I'm talking about the real thing.

If you catch anyone on any BBC channel telling you that something will hit the shops in 5-10 years you know straight away it will sink without trace."It's believed the new technology will cost much more than normal print ads." Believed? To be honest someones probably banking on it.I like the way they managed to squeeze in a Happy Potter reference. Always useful when appealing to the slack-jawed mouth breathers who make up the general public.

Today's recap is brought to you by the color Blue.
6DB began his Thursday morning as always in 41811. But, feeling a little lonesome and rejected, he flirted with The SCHMAVATARback, which can be excused. It wouldn't really be cheating, unless he got SCHMAVATAR's panties off and at least a touch of the nethers. Since SCHMAVATAR is all-tease and never puts out, he returned to 41811 to make a righteous stand against The RemakingYellowSubmarineBecauseZemeckisIsATongueCleanerback.
The home fires burned out at 3:23:21 with 10536 posts, though, as before, the tally continues to rise as Ghost Posts haunt the house. 41811: The 'Back so nice, it lived and died twice. Prayers, or swears, are mandatory, bitches. 42071 is now home.
42071 presents American News of the Day. Usual entertainment bull-shit and whack-jobs making nonsense up about health care reform.
It is suggested that there may be more to the truth of the Lockerbie airliner tragedy and the release of the convicted Libyan bomber. There is usually more to the truth behind anything, so zip up your righteous indignation.
The fake Asi, Asimov_Lives, made a kamikaze appearance and responded to no accusations.
It is reported that the reaction to the SCHMAVATAR trailer is largely “meh.” Which led to a consideration of how great directors of the past and present might use CGI. It was agreed that Kubrick, who would've though AI sucked as much as we all did, might reject CG and wait to direct his version AVATAR when real, live, giant blue cats could be bred in a laboratory. The idea of real, live, giant blue cats inspired a brilliant discussion of Hollywood's exploitation of blue cats.
Al Pacino is so convincing, it's as if he's standing right in front of you in a realistic environment. Is Al Pacino really the most-convincing CG, ever?
The enemy of Blue is, of course, Red. Blue is intellectual, creative, tolerant, and civil. Red is under-edjucated, fearful of immigrants, gun-toting, God-fearing, and shouts stupid shit at Town Hall meetings.
Blue and Red mixed, of course, makes Purple. Green is a better color than Purple because it rhymes with a lot of things, including “spleen” and “sex-machine.” Purple doesn't rhyme. (It takes after its father Red that way, as it doesn't really like to publicly mix with other colors. Except for that one time Red got caught with his pants down with Blue. Another thing about Reds, they always get caught with their pants around their ankles, schtupping the thing they say they disapprove of the most.)
Other words that don't rhyme: orange, month and silver.
According to Cheeses, and confirmed by Mr. Kaplan, everything rhymes with “cunt.”
Hydroman is made of water. We are all made of water. Fuck Hydroman – he is not better than us.
Friday began as 42071 presents Brit News of the Day. Usual entertainment bullshit and whack-jobs bitching but with photos of celebrity tit and animated adverts.

I think it looks pretty good.
-
The colours summary makes it all seem so simple now.
Now I am not a noob....now I know -
to have oodles of atmosphere and to take the original story beyond its ending (instead of killing his son, it looks like this time daddy captures him and sells him to science).I'm concerned about the delay from November of this year to February of next. That usually means there is something wrong with the film. Or, at least, some fucked-up focus group didn't like the unhappy ending and wants more romance put in for the female audience.Also, I am unhappy that Entertainment Weekly already published still photos of the make-up.Somebody, somewhere, some time will go back to leaving some surprise for the theater.They should stop all this going-nowhere experimenting with blue cats and get to creating The Element of Surprise in a lab so that Hollywood can put it in their movies.
-
It really gave you a sense of the characters and the story without being manipulative, deceitful or condescending and at the same time without giving away the best parts. Other trailers should strive to be like this.
-

convincing as Hopkin's son. I know this may only bother me, but bad casting choices can be a pet peeve of mine. If a child actor is cast who looks nothing like the parents it can take me out of the movie. I am hoping that somehow it is explained in the film why Hopkins has a latino son.
-
that may be why the second son is sent away to America while the first son is favored to live at home, share daddy's wealth and get his ass bitten by a werewolf.

I left "gender tests" out of the re-cap.Today's recap, the director's cut includes the following restored scene:There is a South African track-and-field star who has competed in womens' races but, having won, now faces accusations of being male. The runner is being forced to have a gender test to determine sex. She is wishing that, instead of letting them cut off her penis, she'd agreed to let them cut off her leg. To be fair, at the time, she couldn't forsee that one day they'd let men run races with springs attached to their hips.It has been suggested that Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor be made to pass a gender test. And you thought the litmus test those old robies have to pass was frustrating!

because they want to believe people are intelligent and reasonable.They aren't prepared against idiocy because they don't expect it to show up. And, when it does, the Democratic instinct is to mother it like a permissive parent would a bratty child.The worst idiots at those town halls are the young. Standing up with all their entitlement, claiming they've got the money in the bank to pay for their health care. Two years from now, those invincible brats will still be living in their parents' house. Of course they'll have money saved. They don't pay rent. Of course, also, they have no idea how much money it's gonna cost by the time their colons are ripe with cancer.
-
and I'm not going to hold it against you.But, I've got this theory. Superheroes, according to this theory, are stupid. Since, superheroes are stupid, only the iconic ones really need to be made into movies. Marvel doesn't do iconic. Then again, I must admit the quality of SPIDER-MAN II, IRON MAN, even, to a far lesser degree, X-MEN II surprised a doubter like me.Still, these are things I need nothing of: CAPTAIN AMERICA, THOR, Sub-mariner, Scarlet Witch, Vision, THE AVENGERS, Nick Fury.

Spider-Man and Wolverine are both Avengers
by avengers_movie_needs_spiderman
They were added to the team about 3 years ago in the comics. And like Herc, I do think this is possible. I see little reason why cameos wouldn't be possible (it would be VERY smart of Sony and Fox).
http://tinyurl.com/mknzwx -
Who were the original Avengers? I Know there's Nick Fury, Hulk, Captain America, Thor. Am i missing anyone?
-
Yeah, sure, it was in the comics three years ago.But jebus, the movies should represent the Man-on-the-Street's idea of what the Avengers are, not the current comic writers' ideas. Current comics appeal to nearly no one.
-
He was an original. Don't think Fury was on the team (He put it together in The Ultimates however).
-
The original concept of the Avengers was to have the most popular characters in comic all in one book. That's why Wolverine and Spider-Man were added. They fit the vision of what The Avengers are supposed to be. The movie should CERTAINLY fit that vision of the the most popular characters.
It is supposed to be a mega franchise movie after all. -
in the works? As long as it has the Wonder Twins in it, I'm sold.
-
they milk the solo franchises for all they're worth. they have yet to release Thor and Captain America. I can't see Thor being more than one movie.
-
spidey and wolverine should not be in the film..AT ALL
-
audiences will still go see Iron Man 3 or Captain America 2 after they see The Avengers, but you know that a movie that combines so many different franchises will make 80 trillion dollars at the box office world wide.
-
were original Avengers, I don't think. I'd have to Wiki it, because I don't really know (care). Scarlet Witch, Villain, were deffy. Cap, Thor and Iron Man, deffy. Hank Pym and the Wasp, maybe? Namor was a Defender, I think, along with Doc Strange.
-
development hell. Good thing too, since it was sounding a lot like DAWSON'S LEAGUE OF JUSTICE.
-
might have been originals too, not certain. They've been on the team since the early days at least. What would be wrong with Spidey showing up in The Avengers movie? That would rule!
-
Yeah Ant-Man and Wasp were originals. And the butler, what-his-name, Not Alfred.
-
he's already in the Iron Man movies as an AI program instead of a person.
-
Don't mean to interrupt your Avengers discussion, but:Subby's Star System5 stars - masterpieces. These are not only gripping stories, well-made, they add an essential element of forcing you to think in a new way about something, either the subject or film-making in general.(RASHOMON)4 stars - these are great movies, as good as you can expect, but they demonstrate a slight flaw, an obvious Achille's heel, which prevents them, barely, from being masterpieces. (Masterpieces, too, might be flawed, since very few films are perfect, but, due to that essential element, you over-look the flaws in a masterpiece, ultimately forgetting the flaw is even there. The flaws in a 4 star movie are the kind that nag.)3 stars - an average, entertaining, good time. You are equally as likely to love it forever or forget it in five minutes.(THE DARK KNIGHT)2 and a half stars. Those average, entertaining, well-made movies which are, nonetheless, disappointing in a crucial way. Perhaps the pre-hype had you expecting more, or the film abandons its premise twenty minutes in (Yeah, I'm looking directly at you, D9).2 stars - movies that aren't complete crap, from some standpoint, but you hated them anyway. (300 and WATCHMEN)One star. Garbage. No reason for this film to exist. No one should argue with you.(TRANSFORMERS, INDEPENDENCE DAY, PEARL HARBOR, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE).
-
And now I don't even type his name correctly a third of the time.See y'all later.
-
which Ebert reserves for completely reprehensible films and Rob Schneider movies.
-
don't belong on a five star system any more than zero bagels or zero automobiles would.
-
At least I wouldn't give them a star. But, if you want to get technical I guess since your accepting fractions I would give a movie like Battlefield Earth an infinitesimal fraction of a star.
-
Hey guys, how are you, you rascals? Good to see the old gang still around.I haven't been snubbing anybody. I just haven't posted as much often as i have before, nor as much i'd liked. Not too much time on my hands right now to do so. Part of it is due to me catching up with Dexte,r the TV show. Just finished the second season, maybe get to start onthe 3rd season tonight. Good show, deserves the accolades.I watched District 9, and that's what i call a really good movie. Instead of that retarded piece of shit... well, you can guess what i'd say next.Also, part of the reason i haven't posted so often is that my nephew have come a lot lately, and thiskid is hooked on computers, and he's like 2 years old!

-
Everyone thought it was you making a joke: the ultimate backpedal. No one thought you were seriously recanting your position on Felicity Trek. At least, I didn't.
-
I have never seen it, disproving Subs theory I have seen every old movie.
BUT I have seen PLAY TIME, a 90s soft-core film with Jennifer Burton, Monique Parent and Julie Strain. Is that what you meant? -
A little joke. I thought it was the ultimate act of self-parody and I was complimenting you on it.
-
Harry kind of dissed it in his DVD column this week saying it was boring. Anyway, since you haven't seen it I would definitely recommend it. How was the Julie Strain movie?
-
And couldn't believe that Asi had found his sense of humor.
-
You definitely need to see it on the biggest screen you can find. And you need to give it some time. Honestly, ten minutes in I looked at the DVD cover to see how long it was. Fortunately, it builds in intensity culminating in a crazy nightclub/restaurant scene. Also, I would recommend that you don't approach the film as a comedy, because it will not produce many laughs and also it is more of an allegorical art film. You have to actually "pay attention to the film". That was another sampling of Harry's criticism.
-
Julie Strain is in one scene, a lesbo one, and if I remember right it was pretty good. But the other two girls just flirt and insinuate that something is going to happen between them and nothing does. Soft core films demand good lesbo action, it is the only reason they exist.
-
A friend, who shall remain nameless, gave me a link to the Batman/Comic-Con article. I tried to post on the article about my "backpedal", but it seems to have been locked up. I did some searching and it seems that this is somehow a "continuation" of that article, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I would like to get the truth out in a rather covert way. Yes, Warner Bros. execs told me to hush and I did. You people sure did a number on that article. I'd like to think that my blunder inspired you to ramble in a chatroom manner. To heck with it. Christian gave me the link. He also said he was "impressed" by the "Ain't It Bale News" sister site. Kudos to whoever made it.

You don't have an idea how it is with me when me and my mates get together. Don't ever presume i don't have a sense of humour. I don't run for the cheappest gags. You have no idea how big and to what a huge extent it runs.

No, really, i'm Ridley Scott. And for the record, Deckard is not a replicant. It was just a joke that got a bit out of hand, really.
-
I wouldn't be suprised is he would post at AICN. It would ring true to his punk gentleman attitude and personality. I really hope it's the real Gary Oldman, it would be so bloody cool!

Where in the bloody hell can i watch it?

The Hulk was an original Avenger. He quit a couple issues in and was actually written out of the charter. But he was there, and I pine for the day he actually rejoins an Avenger team. Maybe someday I'll get to write that story :)
-
Yeah I know you take movies seriously, that's what would have been so funny about it. It was almost like Spock making a joke.
-
What the hell is going on around here? Fucking CockChaos!
-
A Secret Wars movie would be fucking epic, I agree. I read my TP of it at least once a year. But I've always thought that if you're gonna do a huge crossover Marvel movie, Infinity Gauntlet would be the way to go. Only one baddie=cheaper. Plus, it'd be fucking epic, with heroes dying left and right-only to be restored at the end, of course. I even started writing the screenplay myself, years ago. There was a great bit with Thanos playing chess with Bruce Banner on an enourmous chessboard. When Bruce tries to move his piece, it falls over, killing him. Not bad if I do say so myself.
-
He wasn't in for long, so having him at odds with the early Avengers team is spot on.
-
Those are my thoughts as well. Question-Do you want to see Tobey Maguire in the Avengers movie or would you prefer someone new take on the role?
-
I'd assume del Toro's casting was hindered less by his ethnicity than insured by his resemblance to Lon Cheney Jr. You might not see it at first, but, trut me, it's there. I think the film's success depends less on their acknowledgement of his racial background and more on his ability to pull a Streep and convince us through his acting.
-
BASTERDS is a 4 star movie. It is audacious, beautiful, and it includes two Oscar-caliber performances by Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurent. It is, in my estimation, easily, and by far, QT's best movie.Its flaws? There are only three. The usual QT affectations, such as intrusive word titles used as identifying captions. An uncharacteristic misuse of music. Eli Roth.

...Except for maybe Subs, but I am really sick of Super-Hero movies.
Yes, I like talking about Spider-Man movies and even Batman and Superman, but I liked it better when they were the exception of movies instead of the norm. Call me old fashion, but I find something wrong when there is more super-hero movies being made than Westerns. Do we really need a Thor movie? Or an Avengers or Green Lantern? Especially when they will be big blockbusters instead of movies catering to kids?
And I don't like the fact that they are catering them to adults. Super-hero movies are wish fulfillment fantasy for kids - putting on a costume and suddenly being powerful and important. I think there is nothing wrong with being an adult and liking super-hero movies, but to have them be designed to attract adults is just kind of childish. We adults already have our wish fulfillment characters - Dirty Harry, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Philip Marlowe, The Man WIth No Name - why do we have to steal kids fantasy characters as well.
Obviously there is huge exceptions to this rule, but this has been a generalization about why I am getting sick of super-hero movies. -
Therefore, skippage.

Subs, I just can't bring myself to see Basterds right now

I like QT's first three movies, but for me he has entered a world of self-indulgence and this one looks like it will be more of the same. He is undeniably a genius at cinema and a great talent, but he is also undeniably someone with little life experience or interest outside of film and being a hipster.
QT reminds me of those guys who write great novels that people marvel for their use of language and words, not for the ideas or story or theories he puts out. As a die hard movie fan I believe that you have to say something more than about the medium. The medium is only a vehicle to get you there, not the destination itself. -
Asimov_Lives, and Cobra--Kai are three heads of the same animal. I've been wrong before, but...What do I win?
-
Next he will tell us Firefly will be in the next movie.
-
Trust me, dammit.But you knew that already.
-
I mentioned it as a flaw. The flaw that keeps the film from being a masterpiece. But, and this is key, it also serves the film. I can't imagine any other film director even ATTEMPTING to pull off the climax of this moive.And, I think it was brilliant.Consider the source.
-
I was already sick of superhero movies back when he was in his mid twenties.
-
Is that a combination of blue and red?Is it pronounced is a way that rhymes with "c#nt?"P.S. The AVATAR trailer looks like real crap on the big screen. Jebus, the backlash on that one is likely to rape a lot of fanboy's in all their orifices.I didn't realize Cameron was spending 14 years and hundreds of millions of dollars to remake Disney's POCAHONTAS.
-
I am just completely anti-superhero movies being the biggest genre right now. One, maybe two, a year is all I think you need.
To me it says something about the culture when we need more escapist power wish fulfillment fantasies than we have movies about actual adult heroes who bleed and are mortal facing real life dilemmas. I understand the desire for power fantasies, but if that is all we are making it says something is very rotten in Denmark. -
Something IS very rotten in Denmark. And by Denmark, I mean America. And by rotten, I mean..uh, sucky and wrong.
-
How else do you account for the troubling ease with which Dubbya sold an illegal war? Or the mind-numbing devotion / repulsion wasted on celebrities and sports stars? Or, for that matter, the hero worship of cops and soldiers? We all face real-world dilemmas. Granted we don't all bleed for it, but the minority of firemen ever really bleed, either. (And, no don't try to accuse me of diminishing the heroism of fire-fighters). Is that how easy, really, it is to be a true hero? To follow the instructions of superiors, enforce the status quo, and, for emphasis, bleed a little?I'm certain I am alone in insisting my heroes go AGAINST the grain.
-

I think cop and soldier hero worship is just lip service
by continentalop
During WWII they had a bunch of movies about soldiers and the war. Sure, they were propaganda and recruiting films, but they also sent a message saying "You can do this as well." There was no acceptionalism of the heroes that prevented you and me from doing it - unlike today were you need an origin or 10,000 hours and be a pro-level athlete to ever try.
That is why I laugh when die hard right wingers complain that Hollywood doesn't make movies that support the troops. The problem buddy is if they did people would stay away in droves - why be reminded that someone out there is a real hero while we sit on our fat asses. Yes, lets support the troops, but lets fantasize about being something we never will be - a kid bit by a radioactive spider or a Jedi Knight. -
In a world turned upside down by greed, going against the grain is the only way to go. We're living thru our own 'Dark Reign'.
-
you can support a member of the armed services is by requiring your leaders to not reduce them to political pawns and donate money to services which provide for them, because the government is not going to do that in the manner it should. Then, you can do them the favor of not mentioning the shit they were ordered to do in front of them. They're not likely to comment on what you once did to make a living, either. If they ask you to honor them because they kept your freedoms intact, politely excuse yourself because you aren't speaking to a soldier, you're speaking to a Tongue Cleaner.As for cops, most of them are neither more or less honorable than the rest of the people you know. They are, however, in the front lines in the line between you and the sumbitch you covets your shit, so respect them accordingly. Some of them have delusions of grandeur to compensate for their small genitalia. Hope you never run into one of those.
-
What DEFUCK is the matter with my typing today?
-
that 41811 dropped out of the Top Ten?
-
That reminds me of the 70s, my favorite period of film. HOWEVER, I will say I notice a meme amongst films of that period. That is was pointless to try.
CHINATOWN, PARRALEX VIEW, NIGHT MOVES, FRENCH CONNECTION (Frog One escapes), THE CONVERSATION, SERPICO, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, etc. All of these movies end with the heroes best efforts being pointless; in the end what he did was futile, or at best just a little speed bump. The only heroes who ever accomplished anything went out in a hail of bullets or cathartic violence, TAXI DRIVER, ROLLING THUNDER, DIRTY HARRY, WILD BUNCH, BUTCH CASSIDAY & THE SUNDANCE KID, etc.
I think the idea was that yes, there was something you could do but it would be pointless and futile. I think it was a meme that allowed these filmmakers and writers and the audience to excuse themselves for not doing anything during the Viet Nam war. For those for it, by not enlisting and going to fight; for those against it, by not protesting and not standing up to the government. I think subconsciously those movies showed the guilt of that generations inaction, and even more the excuses they gave for not doing anything. -
Some of my favorite cinematic heroes are little people who stand up to powerful forces and don't buckle. NORMA RAE is a great hero in that regards; everyone can be her. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, CONRACK, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, THE VERDICK, all of those showed guys standing up to someone bigger and using only their moral convictions.
-
It just demonstrated an ennui that had naturally leaked into American bravado. Remember, Vietnam was not the only disappointment of the time. The ecology, the end of American industry, the oil crisis. It was also a time of generational over-throw of culture the likes of which we would not see again until the triumph of Dumbed-Down entertainment in the new millenium.I share your love of seventies film, but it is predictable that those films, representing the confusion of their times, would be supplanted by a knee-jerk reaction in the opposite direction.
-
I meant THE VERDICT obviously. That was the porn version.
-
Was the elephant in the room. Everyone tried so hard not to notice it that it became obvious that they were avoiding the issue. I mean, M*A*S*H had to be set in Korea.
Kind of reminds you of nowadays, were left-wingers want a strictly anti-War movie about Iraq, and right-wingers want a strictly pro-war movie about Iraq, but because neither one would be accurate and the situation is so much more complex than a simple one-sentence log line they prefer to just ignore the situation instead of touching it. It is the 3rd Rail of Hollywood. -
A list of my personal heroes: Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., JFK and, even moreso, RFK, Jesse Owens, Frank Robinson, and Mrs. Martin, my eighth-grade Speech teacher. Culturally, I admire Mark Spitz, Dan Jansen, Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Pete Townshend, Prince and Martin Scorsese, but I don't consider them heroes.I've only ever mourned three famous people, John Lennon, Ryan White and Matthew Sheppard. You'll notice I exclude most sports celebrities, Apollo astronauts, any conservatives and all of The Founding Fathers.I am caucasian, not gay and older than the rest of you. I don't expect, nor require, you confirm or validate my list. I'd rather you come up with your own.I'm sure my list is not complete, but it's the most comprehensive off the top of my head.
-
was Nixon and Watergate. We are still suffering the shock of that bastard.All sense of American weakness can be traced directly to that little intellectually-crippled merfer.Today's rancourous political climate is his legacy.
-
I am still far too hungover to participate in this discussion. Way to bring it adult-style, fellas. Very professional.
-
I would put Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi and MLK on mine as well. I put FDR and Truman ahead of JFK or his brother, but they are not so much heroes as men I respect. I do put the Founding Fathers on the list, especially Thomas Paine for speaking up and saying things so unpopular at the time.
I also put Audie Murphy, Pat Tilman, Jimmy Stewart, Ted Williams and Clark Gable on that list. The last four because anybody who will sacrifice comfort and intentionally put themselves in harms way without any possibility of logical reword at the expense of their own financial security always gets my respect. Audie Murphy because he exemplified the citizen soldier - he wasn't a professional, he was an average citizen who enlisted during his countries time of need. Same with Sgt. York.
The kids of the White Rose are also on my list. Sophie Scholl was a nut but I respect her courage. -
He's that Olympic speed-skater from the Eighties, and, to me, he represents personal success in the face of public failure.He was always the world record holder in his sport. That, in itself, would not be enough for me to even notice him. The public demanded that he win an Olmpic gold medal, and he never could, failing in spectacular ways. Finally, in his last race - one he was not pressured to win - already declared a failure for not winning any earlier - he triumphed.Never an under-dog, and, also, never enough of a champion for America, I loved that kid, inexplicably and totally. Until he let it get to him, got drunk and beat his wife.
-
Fuck. It is hard to try and finish work and hold an intelligent conversation.
-
That's what we do, here, as you know. You've done, too, on occasion.
-
Cliched but true for me.
-
I just can't compose myself today. You ever have a day where nothing seemed real? Like you could walk up to a wall and just poke your finger thru it? This is not my best day, gentlemen, but I will follow the thread.
-
I excluded FDR and Anne Frank is because they did what was required, what was necessary at the time, what they had to do. They did those things spectacularly well, but they don't meet, in my own feeblish mind anyway, my "going against the grain" criteria.
-
to take it high or low-brow, depending.That's why I have spent 29 days with you fellas in The Pedalback to the exclusion of any other thread or chat, anywhere, this site or other.
-
But do consider yourself privelleged.I love my parents, too, but they are not heroes of mine.
-
enriched me personally, through your suggestions of films I should see, I'm going to strongly persuade you to go see BASTERDS in the theater.You may end up disliking it intently, but I think you'll be truly surprised as I was. And, selfishly, I'd just like to have someone to discuss it with.
-
Not sure what I can contribute here. On heroesMan vs Tank in Tianamen....that just stops my heart.
-
about our merry little band. We've maintained our conversation in spite of our ocassional disagreementsEvery other thread I've ever seen depends entirely on venom to reach anything beyond a couple of hundred posts.
-
Well played.
-
Any man who has the balls to wear a Blue Beetle costume I will salute.
Forem Puteulanus Coleoptera -
Off topic.These were the trailers attached to BASTERDS: AVATAR, THE WOLFMAN, INCEPTION and SURROGATES. Of those, I am only likely to see THE WOLFMAN.
-
I'm gonna have a smoke and ponder this. Because that would indicate that something is, more than likely, very wrong with me. I can't be that cynical and deluded, can I?
-
Anyone? Or anyone with Teddy's figure willing to don a Blue Beetle costume?
-
all of your heroes haven't always been cowboys.
-
and head to meet other friends.I'll be checking in later, but you knew that already.

Just gotta stop drinking long enough to put together the funds to make the damn thing. Harder than it sounds, sad to say.

to be the greatest things to ever happen on earth.

Personal Heroes…My Step Dad, Congressman Ron Paul, Jimmy Carter, Nostrodaumus, Zacharia SitchinCulturally…Cheech and Chong, Jim Morrison, Hugh Hefner, John Holmes, Larry Nivin, John Byrn, Alan Parsons, Jim Starlin
Famous People I have Mourned for…Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, John Ritter…I am a Caucasian Male, heterosexual married twice, divorced twice, have three children, two adopted children of former wives (one each). I am only one year younger than you and my birth day is tomorrow…. -
I'm turning thirty next month and I'm not particularly happy about it.
-
*existence
-
Wow. Never expected that ;)
-
My second wife and I were still living together before my mom's stroke kinda convinced us to get married...I was in great shape... In fact, if I had to trade my 40's with any other decade, it would be my 30's...
-
And can't wait for my 40s. Which is also why I like older movies and pulp novels. All the heroes back then were older. No one was under 33, and most were in their late 30s and 40s.
Fucking youth. -
I currently catgorize my self as post-sexual...None of it really interests me anymore...I was diagnosed some 5-6 years ago with low testoserone counts...I blame it on the drugs and am happy I still have a full head of hair.I cold take drugs, but they make me horney as a teenager...I'm too old and jaded for that shit...
-
I get to celebrate by working Tax Free Weekend...For those in england...Texas suspends taxation on back to school items and clothing during this weekend. I run a store that sells clothing and back to school items...Second busiest weekend of the year right behind the weekend before Christmas...
-
There's a theory that drugs, or at least acid, contributes to you krrping your hair. That's why so many of the 60's rock stars (Pete Townshend excepted) still have pretty full heads. Or maybe because half of them kicked it before they could start the balding process.
-
No one with sense shops that day...It's not worth fighting the crowds...
-
You are gonna have your hands full this weekend.
-
A case could be made for that...The acid I have tried today doesn't hold a candle to the shit we used to get in the early '80s.And, I have grown my hair rock star long and it looked fabulous...But, that shit is hard to live with in any kind of humidity...
-
The Cowboys play in their NEW STADIUM!!!
-
It's not so much that I'm aging, it's that my prime years as a costumed vigilanted are waning, and I'm not doing anything. I like that I'm lithe, well-balanced and that I can climb and jump well. I don't want to lose those skills. Basically, I don't want time to work its magic on my body. On the flip side, I think I'm gonna be a handsome older man.
-
I only specified my sexuality because I thought listing a homosexuality martyr would make you guys question my jokes about mrs_water_shit.BTW, I now feel I have made a technology breakthrough. I have posted this from a table at a pub, using my friend's hand-held thiggamajiggy.You know what? It doesn't feel as life-changing an experience as I expected. Not like an epic fail or anything, but I'm not really jonesing to do it again.Happy Birthday, Cheeses. Since I'm the pretentious old man of the bunch may I correct you to point out that you are actually one year, two months and a week younger than I. That 5 weeks makes all the difference when it comes to RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS.
-
I've grown it a few times but it always ends up short again. Embarrassed to think I did it the first time because I thought Viggo looked badass in LOTR all those years ago. He is no longer a hair hero of mine.
-
I'm an Astros fan myself. Another reason I moved to Austin. Gonna go see my first game since I moved here the weekend before my birthday. They're playing the Pirates too, so hopefully they can pull a fucking win down.
-
My first hair hero was Crispin Glover in Back To The Future. Consequently, I was teased mercilessly when I returned to school after winter break.
-
Happy birthday, Cheeses. My mate's thirtieth is this week, we're going for a daytime pub crawl tomorrow to celebrate. Oh, and it's a surprise pub crawl, organised by his wife. Yes I'm jealous.
-
Abraham Lincoln is my only real hero..
I admire his empathy and compassion. Heck...Lincster was a vegetarian in the 1860's and once held up fellow travel companions when trying to find the nest of a fallen baby bird.
Yet he was also able to be ruthless and understand the pragmatic position of being president when the greater good required it. Habeus Corpus be damned...its war time!
Unfortunately...he was a bit of a racist...being a product of his times, but for a product of his times he changed a great deal over the course of his life...eventually working his way up to mostly not racist. Probably his greatest trait...the ability to evolve and change when proven wrong.
All this while dealing with a split nation, a bitch wife, having some of his kids die, and a life long depression.
...a damn cool guy.
I'm sure you other Lincoln likers are already aware of this stuff...so i guess this is for the noobs...so they can know. -
My first hair hero was '50s Crispin, not "time to change that oil" '80s Crispin. Only slightly better, I suppose.
-
The Astro's are rocking aren't they? I'm selling a lot of their jerseys..I don't really follow baseball...For me, it's like ten minutes of excitement crammed into 3 hours of playing time...If they would make one rule change, I would watch it...Let the batter keep his bat...
-
That would be fun, eh? For me, baseball combines team effort and individual achievement. Walking up to the plate, knowing it's all on you at that moment-it's powerful. Of course, I haven't played since little league and I really sucked.
-
I'm off to welcome another Arkansan convert to our Austin City Limits. Have a nice weekend, all.
-
The only time I ever got into baseball was when the Atlanta Braves first went to the World Series. 1991?I got transfered to Atlanta in August and there was no way to avoid it...Scalpers flashed tickets on the freeways...I learned the intricacies and poetry of baseball and appreciate them....Just not enough to follow it...I barely keep up with football...Summer is like recess for that part of my brain...
-
Kubrick. Kubrick will not compromise. He will get blue cats that are real and he will test the gender of these cats.
Good Kubrick quote: "I have never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, 'don't try to fly too high,' or whether it might also be thought of as 'forget the wax and feathers, and do a better job on the wings.'
Aka don't settle for cg cats...and don't give up on your blue cat movie just because the cg cats suck. Create real blue cats.
We figured that shit out yesterday...but its nice that there is a real Kubrick quote to validate it. -
And, I want to know why some rider's get to wear horn proof belts and helments and others do not apear to have this option...But, I do not watch Bull-riding anything near approaching on a regular basis.And NEVER go to a live rodeo....Place smells like horse and bull and human feces...

Cheese, all bull riders must wear a vest, but helmets are optional. Some opt for the cowboy hat because they say it does not restrict vision as much.
-
Actual: The Maccabees, but that's probably the same for most Jews. Also Mandela. It's probably a cliche by now but he's the last of the 20th century political icons left alive, and managing to keep South Africa together as long as he did, in the state the place was in and the corruption he was surrounded with his an incredible achievement before you get on to his imprisonment and activism.Cultural: Prince (seriously good call, Subs), Tom Waits, Jack Nicholson, William Blake, Robin Friday.Fashion heroes(if there can be such a thing): Paul Simonon, The Parisian WW2 resistance fighters, Paul Newman and X.

-
When I lived in Vegas, the wife and i were friends with a couple and the guy was a Steer Wrestler, where you jump off a horse and grab the Steer's horns and bring it to the ground...FUCK PUSSY BULLFIGHTING!!!Wrestle a bitch to the ground....but, sneak up on it...It's a cow...It's used to it...
-
A 2000 pound bull, already pissed because he has a rope around his nads and then some jag off gets on his back, is not the same as wrasslin some dopey ol cow to the ground. Bulls will kill you. Bull try to kill you. And they maim the hell out of a lot of riders.
-
Back in 1997, there apparently were no rules because I got into an argument with the Steer Wrestler...who, by the way, used to regularly bite the rim off of any glass he just took a shot from...I wanted to know why some wore vests and others didn't and I did not get an acceptable response, so I declared there should be two classifications...because being crazy while protecting yourself in a whole nother kind of crazy...The argument ended when I bounced an Air Hockey paddle against the edge which then bounced right into his front teeth...Remember, for insurance purposes, I didn't do it on purpose...Okay?
-
The rules are pretty simple. 8 seconds on the bull, fifty points for the quality of the bull, fifty points for the movement of the rider - can he match the movement of the bull. I love it.
-
Man and monster...Likens back to ancient Minoan civilization...Much better than parrallel ropeing...
-
Yawn...nature's version of NASCAR...
-
..if you are going to ride a bull bareback...you should do it naked...Just like the Minoans...And the Crete...
-
..play with what you're born with...Just as the bull does...

The surprise to BASTERDS is that it is very nearly a masterpiece. It is QT's first good movie since JACKIE BROWN, and it is even better than RESERVOIR DOGS.The surprise is that it is not nearly as self-indulgent as the marketing makes it seem, and the ways it is self-indulgent are not nearly as annoying or corrosive as in PULP FICTION or KILL BILL. I mean, it's a complete fantasy - history can suck it. But, even that's rewarding on an ethereally satisfying level. And for the second time - the only time other than JACKIE BROWN - the dialogue exists to inform the characters, not just to impress you with its transparent cleverness.I nearly HATE Quentin Tarantino, even though I give him credit for two really great movies. It's a surprise to me that I really loved nearly every moment of BASTERDS.Plus, I had promised myself I would not pay for it, and I didn't. My friend was dying to go to the movie, and his girlfriend refused, so I agreed on the condition that he pay for my ticket. I ended up slipping a twenty onto the dashboard of his car. I'll let him pay when we go see it a second time.

..pact to increase unemployment in this country...Actually, I wouldn't put it past Jerry...
-
Chicks dig it...
-
But that's the way it worked out.Everything Jerry Jones does leads to failure. Averageness and failure.You know that whole "lipstick on a pig" thing? It applies as much to Tony Romo as it does to Sarah Palin.
-
Or are we making a big deal out of their winning an exhibition game?Exhibition games are like glorified practice. The team that loses an exhibition game is the one that is trying the least.

..went away when he jettisoned Jessica "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Simpson..

"Is it chicken or tuna...???" Simpson...

It wasn't caused by his giving the finger to Jessica Simpson. It is caused by his sticking his finger up Jason Witten's ass.And it's the least of his problems.

I'm going to be brief. Fucking AWESOME movie! I don't care what anybody says, I fucking loved it to death. That's all, folks. Later.
-
Nolan's deciding between two. Gotham's Criminal or Gotham Hunts. Which do you prefer? Any alternative suggestions I could pass along?
-
Neither title makes any sense at all...And the true Gary Oldman wouldn't give a fuck about our opinion...it's all contractual...Already signed on for...You, sir, are a fake...
-
Gut instinct and all...
-
EPIC WIN.
-
Was never into em either even the best of the genre Superman 78 i'd just watch on tv but would never buy the dvd!!!!!!
-
...fucking Spiderman, flicks does the world need?
-
Sorry to disappoint, but Nolan's got some more titles. Kill Batman, The Darkest Knight, Batman Freezes, Gordon, Batman Ends, Batman, The Joker's Last Laugh, Dark 2Knight: Watch Your Step, Robin Begins, The Goddamn Batman, The Return of Batman, Gotham Weeps, Gotham Cracks, Gotham Dies, Wayne Enterprises, Evil Penguins on Dark Ice, The Dark Knight Solves Some Riddles, The Cat's Meow, Purrfect Batman, The Dark Knight 2: Dark Harder, Who Watches the Batman, Death Metal Batman, Batman and Robin Go to White Castle, I Am The Night, Batman Runs a Marathon for Rabies Awareness, Mr. Fr33z3, Bats Go Eek, Batman Scared Stupid, to name a few.
-
Batman 3 MIGHT rape your senses. Maybe. I hope so.

I got home from work expecting to relax before a heavy weekend and moving back out, but instead the house gets trashed, I'm accused of shagging one of his mates and I'm thrown out early.Some nights, eh.What the fuck are both the AVATARbacks doing at the top?

Would be my choice. That or the rabies awareness.

Those were the funniest fucking things I've read in ages. What a way to end the Pedal back.

This year I took part in the Running of the Bulls at the San Fermin festival in Spain, and it was about the best fucking I've ever done. Granted it carries a higher risk of death and mutilation than most holiday activities but fuck me, you feel alive afterward.http://tinyurl.com/mzy32jI started the run at around the 1:17 part on the video (right where that guy gets smashed!)

'Best fucking thing'. Obviously I wasn't fucking a bull. Honestly.

But balanced against that, the cricket is on, followed by the football. Decisions, decisions.....

But savagedave is right, you can't do better than BATMANSTER RULES.BATMANSTER, the hero we both need, deserve and admire. Wait, that's more than "both," innit? BATMANSTER, the hero we triply need, deserve, admire and who teaches us valuable lessons about proper language usage. Wait.BATMANSTER, he's a hero, he teaches us stuff, we need him, deserve him and admire him, and his libido will save Metropoville.BATMANSTER RULES. Why so horny?

You guys talking about Batster?

The Wolfman trailer. Spooky. Saves some mystery. Looks promising. But, why the delay. And, yeah, there's no way you'd ever top Maria Ouspenskaya, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have tried.
Roger Ebert is a film critic. He knows a thing or six about the Health Care system, as he lost his jaw to it, for one thing. He has clarified the Health Care reform issue for the noobs that don't know. You could spend ten minutes reading his blog at rogerebert.com, and it would not be a waste of your time.
Discussing it any further would be a waste of time. It is a cartoon. It's no Miyazaki. Pixar makes better cartoons.
Wouldn't it be cool if Spider-man and Wolverine were in THE AVENGERS? I dunno, I'm just asking. If Wolverine and Spider-man were in THE AVENGERS would it, technically, be The Avengers? With the unlikelihood of an improvement to the state of Health Care in my lifetime, I won't live to see an AVENGERS movie with either Wolverine or Spider-man in it, anyway. Maybe Roger Ebert hasn't considered that in his defense of Health care reform.
AsimovLives – the real one – returned to The Back-pedalback via Route 42701 and explained why he continues to snub me. As expected, he is pissed at his imposter. It is noted that he has never pedal-backed (or, pedaled-back; also, back-pedaled) in his views of DAWSON'S TREK.
41811 drops out of the Top Ten for the first time in 29 days.
On heroes. What they are and what they mean and why the word is so over-used.
When did bull-riding start wearing a helmet? Bull-riding needs to go X-treme. That, or naked. Rodeos are the NASCAR of animal cruelty.
Batman 3 already has a title. BATMAN FOREVER. Gary Oldman should back-pedal, and realize he'll be working on the eighth Batman movie, counting Adam West's. That is, he WILL be working on it as long as he stops saying stupid shit and getting in trouble with his producers.
anonymoose loves INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, too.Happy Birthday, Cheeses. -
AVATAR is a waste of your time.Sorry.And also, I forgot to mention savagedave ran with the bulls. That takes cajones.Before you criticize, you should try re-capping using a childproof cap. It's frustrating even for an elder.

Raping giant blue pussy eyeballs since August 2009. Which isn't very long, granted, but you got to start some time. At least, Batmanster popped the giant blue pussy eyeball cherry.
-
Hey Subs....what if you started also posting the recaps in an old tb and made a note that no one else could post in there...that way it would be an archive for any unfortunate pedal backers that missed a couple days. Do the guys in charge even know posts are being posted in waaay old tb's if it doesnt crack the top ten?
Maybe thats not a good idea...just throwing it out there. -

But, if they're gonna miss a couple days, they're prolly also gonna miss the post what tells them where to go and catch up, making the whole thing moot.If they miss, they miss. They should be paying closer attention. A recap can't do justice to blue cats and Batster, anyway. So, unless they are a noob and their mind is closed, they already know.

-
just an average night for batster.
-
I enjoyed Gore Vidal's LINCOLN. Full of historic inaccuracy and speculation, I know, but, anyway. The Foote stuff is good. I haven't read anything in awhile, but when I was younger, I inhaled anything on Lincoln and the assassination.Did I hear correctly that Redford is going to do a movie on it?

All of the sudden...who should walk into white castle
by water_shit_anderson
but JANESTER!
Batmanster for once flabbergasted and caught and bad spot sputters out "jaanster this is not what it looks like!"
30 seconds later as Janester looks on he is finally finished and tells the white castle ho he could use another fry and maybe a milkshake for janie.

My favorite Lincoln Assassination book is Manhunt by James Swanson which came out a couple years ago. That would make a fantastic movie.
After reading the book, my father, who is also interested in the Lincoln assassination, and I followed the trail of Booth's escape route from Washington down into Virginia. The former site of the Garrett farm is now a wooded strip of median on a highway but we checked it out hoping to find the steps of the house where Booth died, which are still supposed to be there. Unfortunately we couldn't find them, but there is an interesting marker for Booth there laid by a confederate legion:

Ever heard any of the urban legends that Booth didn't die
by subtitles_off
in the manner that history records? That part of his escape plan included having an imposter, and it was the imposter who died in the barn?Probably all crap, but it actually was a commonly held theory amongst conspiracy theorists at the time and for years later.I always thought if I ever wrote a book it would combine the facts and the fiction into a wicked, ambiguous brew and have the next "DaVinci Code" on my hands.
-
Booth dying in the barn, and as he dies, he's imagining an alternate future for himself as Earl George, the man who supposedly confessed on his deathbed that he was Booth. But write it in a way that it could be open to interpretation as to who was whom and who was imagining what.There, I just gave away a screenplay idea to some noob who will FACK it up.
-
I generally take the conspiracies as being false, but its fun to think about.
Can you have a scene where water shit anderson and his father are attacked by a modern day band of confederate conspirators at the place of John Wilkes Booth's supposed death?
Perhaps there is evidence there they do don't wish to be discovered. -
After Booth's dying words and also the idea of my being able to pull it off.
-
bastards of former slave owners involved in some secret Ku Klux Klan conspiracy with the Vatican?
-
and sorry for even comparing your story to inception....I dont know what i was thinking.
I guess it was that they are both attempting to bend minds. USELESS will succeed. -
enough questionable areas in the historical record to make the idea conceivable. The search for Booth was botched a couple of times, and it'd be easy to infuse with modern paranoia.My history teachers would prolly disavow me, whatever. History is all a litany of merely half-truths anyway.
-
Booth and Lincoln were both obsessed with the Hamlet. Lincoln was reading it all the time and Booth mentioned it in his diary while on the run.
-
not "the hamlet". Though in Batmansters universe "the hamlet" sounds perfectly ok.
-
to the idea that Booth had once injured one of his hands to the point where it was nearly crippled - useless. Conspiracy theorists point out that the scar was supposedly missing from the hand of the man removed from the barn.In other words, was the man they shot speaking literally or figuratively when he held his hands up to his face and whispered "useless" right before death?
-
hiding in that beard?
-
And what was with the wackjob who shot Booth. Boston Corbett...a man who to avoid temptation from prostitutes castrated himself.
He was a hatter...which explains the madness....but still...what was he doing there. -
... some wire to choke people with, a small knife with which he planned on finishing off Seward when he got the chance, and a small bottle of coconut rum which he poured into his ears...just because thats what he liked.
-
and a small blue cat.
-
i'm out of here for now.
Looking forward to that book subs.
After that I think we need a novelization of Pedalback. -
diarrhea got bored and split.
-
I could ask them to work all of that into the script. The scene with Batmanster and Janester- I'm going to have to suggest an alternative. Perhaps he helps her clean up a patron's puke in a suggestively sexual way. WB will only allow for suggestive sex. Yes, Batman 3. We don't officially recognize any past efforts to capture the Batmagic beyond the successful Batman Begins.
-
I asked JC to let me get in on the Avatar action. A cameo as the voice of a talking wheelchair. He rejected me and my idea! Fuck him. Fuck Avatar. I don't need them! I only need a couple of projects to work me until I get ready to climax for my Batman- sorry, Batmanster. Oh, yes, Batsy. Baby. We will come together... as one entity known as BATMANSTER AND GORDSTER.
-
may you live to be a thousand years old sir!
-
We do indeed recognize the great works of The Burtman and the Shoe Maker. What I meant was I, as an individual do not. As a part of "we" I do. Does that make sense? Should I refer to it as Batman 8? Anyhoo, Adam West is going to make a great cameo in Batman 8. WOULD! I meant Adam West would make a great cameo in Batman 8. Maybe. I hope so.

It looks as if he could be standing right there!In all seriousness, when I saw the trailer on the widescreen, I thought to myself, that's the dumbest shit I've seen since Peter Jackson's stampeding brontos.My friend turned to me and said, "Well, it's alright, I guess, but the only time that mix of live action and cartoons has ever worked was ROGER RABBIT."
-
Could I do a cameo?
-
Fuck no. We don't need any nerd faggotry in our beautiful film.
-
The last scene in the film gave me flashbacks to Wolfenstein 3D.
-
What kind of drugs were you on?
-
The theater scene isn't the last, but that's what I meant. It was horrifying in a dehumanizing way, but fucking hilarious at the same time. Also, didn't they look like rats trying to escape?
-
That scene was amazing. Dehumanizing? Oddly, I had a brief experience of exhilaration, as if witnessing God's righteous vengeance or something. Yeah, I know how that sounds. But, I'm serious. I've NEVER felt like that during any movie before.The sound. The flames. The smoke. The scurrying rats. Hitler's head.I never saw Wolfenstein 3D.

The "Cat People" scene was ruined by the song, though.
by subtitles_off
I know the lyrics described the scene, but the song already brings other associations with it. Its use is a violation of QT's usual graceful handling of music in his movies. Granted, there are probally a lot of people who aren't familiar with the song, but still it was too literal, too anachronistic and too much of it was used.
-
I'm wondering, this isn't a loose remake is it?
-
Talk about BATMAN, dammit! That's why you're here isn't it? Fuck you, I thought you were my fans. Wait until Mr. Bale hears about this!

She's Malaysian, and she's been cooking something that smells like goat's rancid ass stew since she moved in, and the smell has been making me sick, but I love that she's here instead of the loud, skanky white-trash whore.

you refer to that mumbling pansy as Mr. Bale. You were Sid FACKING Vicious, dammit. Act like you know where you are!
-
Bale brought some from one of his many amazing adventures. It tastes quite like a goat's rancid ass. That's good, if you're into rancid goat ass, which I am.
-
is explain to Mr. Nolan that no one is going to buy DiCaprio as a bad-ass. He's probably the only A-lister in Hollywood that makes Keanu look masculine in comparison. AND, no one was really bonering to see a re-boot of THE MATRIX. Finally, Spielberg already did THE cool plastic cup full of water scene.
-
...Mr. Bale taught me to say his name that way through, shall we say excessive force? He rammed me good. REAMED! I meant he reamed me good. Maybe. I hope so.

THE TALL TARGET by Anthony Mann, 1951.

I was watching History Detectives on PBS recently and they proved that John Wilkes Booth's father Junius Brutus Booth had sent a death threat to president Andrew Jackson.

he responded by raping the would be tester for 4 hours. After the rape batster lit up a cig and casually stated that he would have no problem with taking a gender test.

but i don't feel like eating any.
doesn't change the fact that this money is ice cream money. -
was when hitler finished talking about the basterds and sat down....and as he sits tarantino plays some groovy tv show bass.

and show a six pack your ice cream money, and say,"See this? This ain't for you, bitch. This is for some fine vanilla swirl."See what the bber does.Bet it starts crying.
-
my math teacher was such a douche we wondered if he was really james cameron in a math teacher suit.
We kept waiting for him to unzip the math teacher suit (like in those old pepsi commercials) and start lambasting us with a barrage of speech about how he was king of the world, better at math, had discovered Jessica Alba, visited the actual titanic, told Bill Paxon what to do and not the other way around, and also had his cdl truck driving license since he used to drive trucks.
Then he would blast through the roof with a jet pack and continue to rain down words about his glory. -
I'll make some miller high life real sad.

residue found on paper money.
-
he puts his face in that mountain of cold stone triple chocolate. The chocolate dripping off of his face makes the line "say hello to my little frien'" seem especially childish.
-
Still the ice cream dish to beat in my opinion.
The put a little touch of crack in there if I am not mistaken. -
he's actually standing there with triple chocolate actually dripping off his face.That joke is never gonna get old.Nevah evah nevah.
-
I dont live very close to a dairy queen. I'm way out in the sticks. There is a small ice cream joint in our town, but its no coldstone or dq.
And those damn high school slutbags that work there are usually fucking up the orders. -

which reminds me of that unreleased batster comic...
by water_shit_anderson
batmanster goes to high school.
the teenage rate of pregnancy becomes unreasonably high. -
No wonder you don't want to spend your ice cream money on an inferior frozen dairy product.A chocolate slutbag sundae sounds good right now.
-
High School chicks gotta spread for vampires these days.It's like a law.
-
The end of U2. The end of Spider-man. Or the end of both?

James Cameron on why Avatar will be King of the World
by water_shit_anderson
Interviewer: James you've mentioned this film will be a quantum leap forward as it pertains to the movie going experience. What exactly are you talking about?
James Cameron: Well I remember when I was in community college driving trucks for money in Canada and I went to see Scarface. I watched it not expecting to find myself blown out the back of the theater with my balls hurting, but thats exactly where it sent me. The scene were the ice cream is dripping off of Pacino's face sent chills down my spine. I was able to suspend my disbelief and for a minute actually feel like that ice cream was really there. Thats what Avatar is going to be....a new level of melty ice cream in a way thats never been dripped off of faces before. -
up idiots' dumb-asses. That shit is so gay-looking, it makes TWILIGHT seem edgy.Cars don't run on Cameron gas no more. It's not been 1992 for a long, long time.
-
I hope Baster has a cameo role in new moon.
-
trying for a 2001/Star Wars level leap forward.
-
forcing gender tests down the sparkly vampires' throats.
-
on the double team.
As long as he gives his wife some new bling when he gets home she doesn't mind. -
tough-ass, scarred-up jocks will join the marines, so they can become fuzzy blue fairy cats and prance around realistic crayola forests and splash in sparkle-shiny pools of gay. With laser-light butterflies shampooing their junk with rainbow nectar.Cameron has lost his fucking mind.
-
right before the world saw AI and yawned.
-
Bryan Singer shoved its head in the toilet.
-
Schumacher rejected it as too flamboyant.
-
that has me really laughing.
I can see cameron with a daydream cloud above his head with all the shit you just described happening in it. Yet on his face is a dead serious bastard stare -
Barney Frank voted for the propositon banning its right to legal marriage.
-
with jazz hands.
-
used to make shirts that said "I survived a James Cameron movie".
Now they read "I used to be straight" -
and all I got was this lousy tee shirt."
-
there goes rob marshalls stage movie monopoly

"You'll believe I was actually standing right there.""Where were you standing, Miss Weaver?""Well, I mean, I really was standing right there. It's just, well, "there" wasn't really there.""We don't really understand what you mean, Miss Weaver.""Well, I'm telling you it was a green screen that I was standing in front of right there. I wouldn't be caught dead anywhere that was really that gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it.""So, we're to believe you look like you're standing there, but there's no way you'd actually stand anywhere that would be as gay as that?""Exactly. Momma's gotta eat, you know?""Do you believe, Miss Weaver, that this movie represents a great leap forward?""Christ, I fucking hope not."
-
we have a foodstuff down in texas called BLUE BELL ICE CREAM...the saying is WE EAT ALL WE CAN AND WE SELL THE REST...heaven in a gallon container.

It's really congealed cow hooves, bone marrow and 12% rat droppings, and you just call it ice cream, isn't that right?

So...basters walkin down the street...eatin an apple.
by water_shit_anderson
and he says "fuckit" and throws the apple...half eaten into the street. It was mealy and soft and not good enough for Battleman to waste any more of his time on. Just then a loud voice shouts out: "Hey are you going to pick that up." And who should be standing there but old mr toughguy, former math teacher, terminator creating badass....Old Iron Jim.
So old ironsides walks up to bats and he says it again. "Hey cat ears...you gonna pick up that apple?"
Bats says he would sooner give up raping and driving his batpod while eatin sprinkle bars as well as fucking commish gords wife than pick up that apple.
So ole Iron Jim sets off on this tirade about keeping the street clean and the envioronment, to which bats accurately points out that its an apple and it will easily decompose. But no...... pink and wavy haired jim keeps a 'ravin and a'rantin' and says if Batsterman don't pick up that apple its gonna be big trouble.
Batster gets serious and ready to do some major awesome fighting and asks what kind of trouble jim means.
Jim takes a triumphants stance and shouts with a high quavering voice that if batster old battleman does not stoop down and pick up that apple he will send after him a legion....an entire host of winged creatures similar to giant butterflies that he designed and drew on paper himself and that there would be blue cats riding apon them with their tales combining with the creatures to form a magical bond as they flutter their way towards batman!!!!
Batster starts laughing so hard he pukes up an old sprinkle bar. He thanks jim for the laugh and continues on his way.
Jim continues screaming at the top of his lungs "you dont walk away from me I'm KING OF THE WORLD!!!....etc..." -

-
in a deep mumbly voice that sounds like Bale's testicles would sound if Bale had any and they were able to talk, "Did you just flutter at me with your magical bond?"Then, Batmanster pulls a gender test out of his utilimizer belt and carves the King of the World into a sprinkle bar.
-
so we can stay up for Cheeses birthday party.
-
i got him the new batmanster action figure with james cameron sprinkle bar. Dont tell.
-
I hope it goes with the badpod with special long-range raping attachment that I got him.
-
it really is bad, though.
-
Anyone want to get him attachable "giving Kobesaki a bro hug" arms? They are sold separately and I know he really wants them.
-
im gonna use the andrew jackson subs gave me and go buy cheese's an ice cream cake.
See you all at the party! -
kinda like SOYLENT GREEN and the fourth meal from taco bell..
-
or maybe IB-TBs...that sounds like a lucas-named droid..argh!
-
wheres the party?
-
I loved it. I got sucked into their world and couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Now I see what the fuss is about.
-
Oh, look A bag ass Ice Cream Cake...with sprinkle bars inside...AND a BATMANSTER ACTION SET?!?!You Guys shouldn'ta....
-
about 'Bag ass' Ice cream...It's my favorite...
-
The Batmanster dress up kit come with a case of free gender tests...and no condoms...Thanks Water-man...Subs...A blue kitten? Thanks..It's so cute...Maybe now my daughter will crawl out of my ass about letting her cat out the other day..(it still hasn't come back)
-
Happy Birthday Cheester

What do we have to drink at this party?
-
God gives up on humanity and lets the angels plunder and pillage the earth? Awesome concept, cool action, and it's Exorcist meets Terminator (Paul Bettany totally looks like Kyle Reese in this). Plus, it's bound to piss off some Christian fundamentalists. I'm so in.
-
and the quart of Crown Royal That I thought we lost at the 10,000 party...I brought a keg of that fancy sir Alec Guiness brand Subs likes so much...Couldn't get any blow but got some White Widow one puff shit that will expand your mind to the point you're looking at Captain Marvel's Cosmic awareness, and snickering...Good stuff...

Leave some cat food outside your door. Watch out for prawns, though.
-
I'm not worried about the cat...It isn't even blue...
-
i'll admit it...i'm already a few drops in on the salvia front.
-
...I liked that the old lady went nuts....and Paul Bettany is good but other than that I'm afraid it will be too constantine-like.
-
I LOVE YOU, MAN....Let's get fucked up...C'mon, Moose....Tequila or Bourbon for the first shot?

In an hour or two you won't be able to pronunciate anything...So, who gives a shit how its spelled...just hand it over...

The further adventures of Batmanster: Rapage at White Castle.anonymoose is right about INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS but wrong about DISTRICT 9.GaryOldman was rude, so moose hooved him until he was a puddle.Where in the world is DrMorbius?What would happen if moose evolved fingers and the ability to communicate to humans? Would they be welcomed into our economy or rounded up and put into slums like Prawns? Would Pride Parades for Moose become common or would an extreme Moose-Rights advocacy group have to resort to violent measures? And, if rights were given to the moose, wouldn't the same rights have to be given to the squirrel?Look out, it's GANGSTERS!James Cameron spent the years between TITANIC and AVATAR hiding in a math teacher's suit, the kind that zippers down the back. His arrogant pronouncements regarding his impact on the future of equations gave him away, and he had to jet-pack it for the hills before the PTA could butter-toast his ass.A pocketful of ice cream money is useless when no ice cream store is in the vicinity.The even-further adventures of Batmanster: Versus The King of the World and His Fluttering Magical Bond.It is now okay to recycle all old “SUPERMAN RETURNS was gay” jokes and apply them to AVATAR.White widow, absinthe and jenken were served at Cheeses' birthday party. Guests tripped and hallucinated naked green ladies and bathroom walls made of ocean water. Even 'Lop got a contact high.

Now the litmus test is D9, babies.Don't mean we can't still hang out. Just means when you start talking about film, I will roll my eyes, and the good-looking girl will go home to bed with me, and she and I will chuckle at you, without malice.

I'm glad to finally see some people realize that Spiderman 2 was subpar. It's success at the box office is not owed to Raimi, it is owed to Stan Lee because everyone went to see the movie excited to watch the character Stan Lee had created..unfortunately we never saw that character, he was only dressed in the same costume, but fans have no prob convincing themselves it was good, because they want more spidey movies. I thought Spidey 2 sucked the first day I watched it. Here's the spiderman I'd like to see:
1. Less of Peter Parker CRYING, give him some attitude with a wisecracking sense of humor.
2. No Dunst, give us a hot Mary Jane, because Mary Jane is HOT.
3. Less of the crappy cartoony fighting moves, give spiderman some trademark fighting moves that look good, like make it look real.
4. Less crappy cartoony CGI, make spiderman look like he's real and interacting with a real environment, if you can't make stuff look real with CGI, then don't do it at all!
5. Make the movie fun, give it a heart but don't let it take itself too seriously, it needs more edgy comedy interwoven.
6. Less CRYING, did I say that already? I can't stress that enough, Raimi's Spiderman cries like a bitch in every movie, it needs to stop.

I would probably feel the same way about SPIDER-MAN II.I wonder if CGIh8r felt like I do about Batman, if he'd hate BATMAN BEGINS, too.I don't much care at all, what thinks the dude inviting Kobe to lick his behind.

We the Sherlock Holmes English Speaking Vernacular
by takingscorpioscalls
YES! Sherlock Holmes/Dr.Watson vs. Moriarty
Nayland Smith/Dr.Petrie vs. Fu Manchu
Van Helsing/whoever the fuck his sidekick was vs. Dracula -
Three times the heads, three times the action! Starring no one you've ever heard of, although one of the cast is named Texas Battle, which is awesome.
-
Can HYDRA bring us back up to the standard of earlier entries like FRANKENFISH?
-
D9 could be really compared to that, right? no TOUCH OF EVIL on 5 star? i'll have to get back to you on my 5 star list.this seems like fun...been a long time since id seen BB mountain...it was good..but that good?
-
We open on a tropical Island, just like most of the other films we've covered so far. I like how all the worlds supply of mythical/genetically engineered beasts all seem to inhabit the same island, possibly as means of cutting overheads. HYDRA vs KOMODO vs CHUPACABRA? Now that would make some serious bank!
-
This one gets right down to action. Some sort of scientific team are on the Island, doing their science thing. One of them finds ancient pottery shards, with a picture of a Hydra on it! Think this might signify something? That’s right! A Hydra! It’s attacks, and swiftly rips apart three out of the four. The lone survivor, a girl, escapes the beast only to see a toy boat sink in a fish tank. Oh no, thats actually her ship in the bay. My mistake.

Hmm. lets see Sub-Moron posts 24 hours a day
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
For weeks on end, just to have the dubious distinction of having the top TB -not due to interest on the subject on the part of other posters, but because of an obsessive compulsive disorder of staggering magnitude of one individual, and he has the modesty to say he is not interested in the musings of a man who wants Kobe to tell him how his ass tastes. Wel I am shocked. Shocked I say.
-
Right we have a ship somewhere, with some rich dudes on it, who will probably prove to be evil. They were about to do something on an island, but it sank. So now they need a replacement. AND I THINK I KNOW WHERE THEY WILL END UP! DO YOU?!In the bowels of the ship, a group a disparate souls are chained up, they know not why. We see the rich dudes playing cards, and they’re also white, which means they’ll definitely turn out to be evil. We’re also treated to a blonde slut bag in a bikini, who gets straight down the some flirtin. They want to see some skin, and so do we!

Scout out a new island. As they bitch and moan, as hired goons are wont to do, they hear omnious monster noises. Seriously, you think they learn to recognise this stuff at goon school. They Hydra attacks, and kills Goon #1 messily. Goon #2 blows one of its heads off, only for it to regrow before his very eyes! Oh no!
-
I would add ACE IN THE HOLE
-
Characters with more than one dimension? Turns out our rich dudes have all lost loved ones and don't feel that justice has been done. Our prisoners, it turns out, have all committed crimes similar to those that robbed our rich ones of their family members, and so I'm guessing they're gonna inflict some old school justice on them! Testify!
-
I would add the BREAKING POINT & THE BIG SLEEP
-
I'm adding CASABLANCA and CHINATOWN to your list, Subs.
-
Gives our unfortunates the low down on whats about to happen to them. MARVEL as he chews the scenery! But will the Hydra chew him, now thats the question! We also have a rather gratuitous scene of SLUT BAG sunbathing. Cheers for that.
-
Although I didn't like the The Darjeeling Limited.
-
I just realized we both forgot THE CONVERSATION and THE CONFORMIST for 5-star movies.
Making a perfect list is impossible. I am giving up in advance. -
Mr. Bryant told me your ass tastes of hot dogs and Diet Pepsi.
-
Consist of: GEEK (vehicular manslaughter)BIKER(rapist)errr...WOMANMYSTERIOUS EX SOLDIER.(unfortunately it's not Casey Ryback)
-
My list is personal. It ain't perfect, and it ain't completist.The only reason I'd share it with you gentlemen is to get you to bring your own.You can't give up at D.We both left off CITIZEN KANE.
-
The girl offed her husband and the last guy is some mysterious ex soldier. Sadly not Steven Seagal.
-
Well one can never see enough of that. The CGI on display here is a real game changer. You can almost believe the Hydra is standing there.

Nice selective cut and paste job Sub-moron
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
In the future try to scramble the titles because alphabetical is a dead give-away that you did not assemble it yourself. Oh, yes, I am sure you removed some movies you did not like such as the glorious D9 - but really, cut and paste? You could not come up with the list without googling movies by their alpha title then dumb enough to paste them in same order? Obsessive and stupid. Yea, I gots ya figured. Probably unemployed too.
-
Who i'll call SEAGAL anyway, they prepare traps on the island, as our bereaved huntsmen tool up. True to form, our rapist hero attempts to have his wicked way with the girl of the group, before SEAGAL comes in and crushes his windpipe. Much like the real Seagal would. 'You're with us, or with them' he snarls. Or maybe with the Hydra, if he but knew it.

That's obvious, because everybody rates IGBY GOES DOWN as a five-star movie. And ROGER & ME.Damn, I'm busted.
-
Some sort of ruined temple. I'm guessing then there's going to be some sort of mythological origin for this beast, as opposed to it being genetically engineered to feed the worlds poor or something of that nature. Which would just be stupid.

Today's episode: TOO MANY COOKS IN THE BROTH
[ENTERPRISE IN EARTH'S ORBIT]
SCENE:ENTERPRISE BRIDGE
Kirk: What is the status report from Federation communique.
Uhura: Signal coming through Captain.
Kirk: *wink*
Federation Commander: Captain Kirk the population of Earth is currently around 6.7 billion, far beyond the planet's capacity of sustainment, orders are to solve the problem!
Kirk: We will... trytosolve it withthebest intentions. ;)
Federation Commander: Good, thanks a plenty. I hope you can beat that damn coffee even the 22th century can't solve just like you beat the Klingons. ;)
Kirk: Haha touche. Mr. Spock what do you think?
Spock: I theorize that all of the poorer sections of this planet are fucking nonstop, my advice is to achieve the demanding order of Federation we should reduce the remaining population to around 300-500 million.
McCoy: Jim! Do you know what this pointy eared freakish ghoul is babbling about? Why he's talking just right!
Kirk: Understandable, continue Spock.
Spock: As i was talking before i was complementarily interrupted, we heard the remaining populous to the most productive nation, what they call "Northern America" and let the rest of the world revert to a wild state.
Kirk: Good, deploy the poison gas canisters!
Chekov: Deployed captin.
Spock: Through the viewing computer the canisters shot out are apprently reducing the population to a rapid degree.
Kirk: Prepare landing party. Scotty.
Scotty: Aye captain. Gas masks?
Kirk: haha what are we fags?
Scotty: Rite sir!
[Crew beams down]
Spock: This i believe is the region named "Asia". Vast bodies everywhere from the poison fumes. Looks like it was a success.
McCoy: My tricorder is reporting about 400 million left alive near North America. Well done Jim!
Kirk: good work team! Back aboard!
UNTIL NEXT TIME! DA DADADAD ADADAADA! -
Triggers one of the traps, and gets a stake through his leg. Hardly slows him down though, he's a tough cookie! When the four go back to see if they can grab his gun, he shoots rapist, and is about to crack on with the rest, when SCIENCE GIRL enters stage left, before exiting stage right. She's running from the multi-headed snake thing, and Tex is soon ensnared in coils of bad CGI. I was kinda hoping rapist would get eaten too, but nevermind.
-
I said selective cut and paste - just like your reading, because each and every one of your A-Z titles is in alpha order, and since they were posted within mere minutes of each other, I doubt even your obsessive disorder would have given you enough time to assemble them in the proper alpha order. Unless of course you did a sort of the titles then posted - which would really be obsessive. So yea, I gots ya figured.
-
Aug 23, 2009 4:02:46 PM CDT
There's some sort of profound comment on the US justice system i
by savagedave
I think the gist of it is, that if you commit a crime you should be shot, but those who abuse positions of authority should be eaten.
-
SEAGAL stops one of the hunters from killing WOMAN, which is only the start of his problems, as he gets ripped in half and eaten shortly thereafter. He was a bit of a cunt though so I wouldn't worry.
-
Indicates important things are happening, in this battle between badly animated CGI beasts and convicted criminals.SCIENCE GIRL agrees to help our lovable cons to escape the island if they help her kill the Hydra. Apparently, the Sword of Hercules is on the island, and that holds the power to kill the beast. What would be awesome is if Kevin Sorbo turned up too.
-
He seems remarkably unfazed by the appearance of the hydra, and takes one of its heads off. Then it kills him. I think they actually reused the effects shots from earlier on this. The island is starting to shake, meanwhile, possibly due to the emotion of it all.
-
Every big panoramic shot of the island is done in shaky Greengrass-cam.
-
(Did I just type that?) SEAGAL, WOMAN, SCIENCE GIRL AND GEEK (also fulfilling the duty of token black sidekick) search for the sword, in an eerie paper mache cave. CAPTAIN EVIL turns up to thwart their plans, shooting token dead. Turns out he was SEAGALS' C.O in Iraq, and murdered civilans. "They were women and children" cries SEAGAL "Details!" he growls in return. Then the Hydra eats his face. I apologise if that seems a little blunt, but look at what I have to work with.
-
'Cause I'm tired of talking sense to some dope thinks he's got it all figgered.
-
Before it started to erupt
-
SCIENCE GIRL is next to die. Her tactics of standing still in front of the monster sadly do not pay off.SEAGAL undergoes a 'test of faith' to retrive the sword, plunging his hand into a pool of lava, or some red lamps which probably signify lava. Pulling clear the sword, he hacks off the beasts heads one by one, which turn into clouds of ash as he does so.After cleaving the final neck, the beast lies dead, and we get the most arbitary 'kiss the girl' scene EVER. They make off in the direction of the boat.....but whats this?! Behind them, the Hydra starts to heal itself! DUN DUN DUHHHHHH!!!!!
-
You got to go for the heart.
-
SEAGAL and GIRL quickly get the better of SLUTBAG and BIG CHEESE. "It seems the hunted has bested the hunter" he says philosophically. Wow, it's like Mamet had a hand in it or something. As they attempt to get the ship moving, via the principled first mate (sorry kinda forgot him), the Hydra slithers on board and SLUT BAG gets her just desserts....and so does the HYDRA!See what I did there?! Eh? No? Fucking philistines.
-
Eaten alive by god! The first mate, effortlessly assuming the role of black caddy, throws the sword of Sorbo to SEAGAL, who who then does the job properly this time, stabbing the beast up good. It explodes in a shower of cheap special effects. Phew!
-
Sorry I was so overwhelmed by the excitement earlier I didn't make that clear.
-
Shotgunning your husband to death is o.k if you're good looking enough.Hydra's can eat any number of hired goons in one sittingJustice is best served by paying lots of money to engage in to-the-death man hunts. Then being eaten.
-
At various points.

I bet you got a cute ass too. I would like to run my tongue up and down that crack. So juicy. Yummy. Mmmhmm. If Kobe shows up, we could three way, if you'd like. Oh, yeah. That sounds so hot, baby. You know what? I think I love you. Let ol' Gary put a Batman costume on you, take off your utility belt, spank your plump booty, and batarang your sweet ass. Don't worry 'bout Conti putting you down, we can talk about it in bed with some champagne and throw off your busy work schedule and super fantastic life. How does that sound, honey?

You guys are the mostest, bestest group around! I just wanna hugs and squeezes ya! Gee Connie, no one, I mean no one posts such long winded but thoughtful crap like you do! I am sure you are quite comfy in your spidey undies while posting away at all hours with little or no sleep. Helps not having a life I suppose. And Sixie, poor lil Sixie - you are well on your way to becoming a Rick Jones class sidekick bitch. You have no brain or skill of your own, but you reflect shine off'a everyone else and they let you in the group cause moroons (you get two 'o's cause yer special) need luv to - yes they do!
-
...why do you have to shit on our party every time you show up? Oh, yeah. You're an Ass, it's what you do.
-
Hi snookums! Ya like how my ass taste too? You have good taste
-
...you've spent four hours here. Either you've been mulling about this little feud away from the computer and coming back, or you've been here the whole time hitting refresh over and over. You care, therefore you lose. Quit calling the kettle black and join us already.
-
I'm beginning to think all of you are one in the same! No, that is too silly. I am not shitting on your party. I had no roast beef with any of you - but I do not like that Sub-moron creep. He is the same type of asswipe as asimovlives, but you hypocrites who hate asimove tolerate him cause he posts a lot, and reminds you that you are not alone in your pathetic need to post all day and night long - thus proving you have no lives, for the dubious distinction of having the number one TB, that was filled with nothing but lists - spam. Really I am happy that you have found love together, but spare me the hypocrisy when I calls ya out for being what you are. If you are woman enough to post all day long, then be hermaphrodite enough to take it up the ass when the bill comes due

by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Just can't refuse those limpid dark pools of deep soul that you call eyes! Ooo. I will refrain from spoiling your party -with one exception, I still do not like sub-moron, and when I sees his intolerant shit, I will let him and everyone else know - that there is a new sheriff in town who don't play that! It's a free internet so he can be a jackass with his viewpoints, but I will fuck him hard, and put him away wet. Goodbye for now snookums - you cuddly thang you!

I'm trying to arrange an interview with Vinnie Jones. So, yeah, I guess I am just a loser in my Spidey underwear. Unlike you, who is so fucking cool he has to make it a priority to come online to try and mock people.
Tell you what little troll, come back when you fucking grow up and have a life better than mine or any of the guys here. Then you can mock us. Of course, if someone does have a cooler life I would imagine he wouldn't feel so insecure that he would be compelled to try and belittle others to make himself feel bigger.
And I'm willing to bet that you will come back with your snide little act, because really that is all you got going in your life. Now prove me wrong snookums.

We've almost forgot ourselves and let the little mental half-wit turn us into a common TB. For that, I claim responsibility and apologize.We all know it is best to throw away the garbage early, so it doesn't stink up the house. If I'd just ignored him, you know, but I was worried he'd attract rats and cockroaches.He'll be back, of course, to insist he's not jealous, lonely, bitter, with godawful taste in movies, but we all know better. And there's nothing better than knowing better.He's read every post of our entire thread, it appears, yet only crawls out of his hole to bitch when I make fun of DISTRICT 9. That means he wins the sad contest.Thanks for taking my back. I'll know who to call when I really need somebody. But, don't spend another second worrying about this one.
-
Usually, that would make me feel bad and question what I'd done to make it so.These days, it only makes me nostalgic for the old days, when I could attract trolls like goats crossing the bridge. Those days, of course, the trolls were brighter. Which made it a heck of a lot more fun, giving them a spanking and sending them home to their mommies.

His mother had been the inventor of Jenkem, back in the early '60's...She was a compost magnate and noticed that any compost with HUMAN feces in it could get you wasted...Nobody, not even his Mom, knows who his Dad might be...
-
..tried to market her human feces drink to the less than open to feces 60's generation...They had to go on welfare and eventually she died in a homless shelter where she composted all of their human shit....but never found a corporate sponser. But, most of the residents died quickly from second hand Jenkem exposure, and there were always beds available at her shelter.
-
..the only orphan with the secret formula for Jenkem...but still an orphan...
-
..in his movies...He invested so much of his internal self image in those movies that he grew up to register a 'handle' on an obscure movie website that referenced a widely accepted, though never convicted, rapist and his own ass.While under this 'disguise' he took pleasure in verbally (actually, in writing...) diparaging anyone with a strong opinion that disagreed with his own and took umbrage to conversations he was not qualified to judge.
-
..with his status as a sex symbol and movie star in his own country...He found it necessary to deride others on the intranets to make himself feel important...
-
..is a sad one...But, after the success of that Indian 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' movie...Look for 'Jenkem's Folley' in not-so-local theaters in March 2010....

Ryan Jenkins is fucking dead. (Ryan Jenkins was some reality tv “star” you had never heard of until he murdered his “supermodel” girlfriend.)
Mr._George_Kaplan rekapped the entire weekend in a succinct manner.
Batmanster: The Secret Origin of Kobe Jenkem
Cheeses and diarrhea reminisced about their couch fort. Cheeses had spent the day after his birthday washing his bathroom walls. Neither admitted to sculpting the leftover bean-dip into a the shape of Kim Kardashian's ass. Vader returned and wanted to type about hot, sexual action between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.Due to my “intolerant shit” a lurker threatened to “fuck [me] hard and put [me] away wet.” Without an official gender test, I'll assume this lurker is a she, since she has been offering Kobe Bryant a taste of her backside, and everyone knows Kobe Bryant is all about the lady-crack. She insulted Back-pedalers as a group of unaccomplished , lifeless losers and made friends with moose. Obviously, lurking through some 13,000 posts has been a chore for her, despite her life smelling of peaches and vanilla. She really, really loves, loves, LOVES DISTRICT 9, which does little to improve my estimation of that average little movie.savagedave live-blogged HYDRA.A lost episode from STAR TREK was transcribed.

They used some old actors. I think France Nygyen was in one and William Windom. I had serious crush on her as a kid. The fans ones were damn good. I was really surprised
-
..it totally kicked my arse but like all good arse-kickings it came out of nowhere - I don't know how long its been out in the States but we have heard fuck-all about it over here in the UK until now.When I saw the TBs on this site I assumed it was about America's first all-emo Football team and stayed weeeeelllll away.now I know better and I will be seeing it - I Like Kathryn Bigalow as well.
-
The movie never has one of those cheesy lines link, "Welcome to the hurt locker," you know like most movies with a title like that have.
-
but I'd have no trouble finding HALLOWEEN II next weekend, if I wanted to.There are 38 screens within 5 minutes of where I live. None of them ever had THE HURT LOCKER.
-
Damn that sucks. I was surprised that we got the Hurlocker in three different theaters. I was stupid and waited to long and ended up having to see it in the most expensive. But its also the biggest, and best with that many theaters. We got a much better theater but it doesn't have as many screens and they only show wide release films. Theater releasing just boggles my mind sometimes. Like who over at Summit not think this was not worthy of wide release?
-
If your cinema has more than ten screens, two of them should be reserved for non-mainstream fare. Granted, this means Spider-man 4 will only be on six screens instead of eight, but I think it will manage alright.
-
Because they fucking hate their female directors. First they get the huge hit with Twilight then fire the female director for the sequel. Then they get the most manly movie of the year and its directed by a chick and they don't give it half the release that BANDSLAM got. Maybe because they didn't produce it or something.
-
That means movies like Post Grad and Shorts will end up straight to DVD!!! We can't have that now can we.
-
And a little bit disrespectful of you if you think about it.Here is a film about true-life heroes who risk blowing themselves into teeny-tiny pieces in the name of god and liberty and you won't go because it means driving 45 miles.Seriously though, the distributers have probably looked at the return on other middle-east themed films recently and decided it ain't worth it. Which is a shame as I think a lot of people in America are waiting (and would pay money) to see a damm good film that captures what its really like out there but doesn't have Jake Gyllenhaall in it.
-
Americans don't want to see anything related to war that might expose them to anything other than their preconceived notions. If even that. Americans want to be entertained and, at most, moved by the plight of imaginary aliens or furry blue computer generated creatures.
-
Wait until that poor guy's next movie with Tobey McGuire comes out, and FOX News labels it anti-veteran. Poor dude's career might end.
-
continue if they were forced to watch a film about something actually happening in Iraq?
-
yahoo is telling me about Fabios latest lunch in west hollywood.
Oh...and excellent recap Subs. You would have liked that couch fort. -

I don't know if I'm ready to see Jake go against Tobey Macguire without wishing they'd do the mirror scene from Duck Soup.And I couldn't possible go into the idea of Natalie Portman being the filling in a doe-eyed slack-jawed sandwich without D.Vader being here...
-
Not worth fighting over. There are plenty of girls who look like five year olds who are bitchy as shit. I don't buy Tobey as being a bad ass either.
-
..now you have an administration that seems willing to move beyond rhetoric and try new ways to find peace and NOW Hollywood has lost its nerve?You couldn't MOVE for Hollywood stars bitchin' about the US's foriegn policy when GW was running things but now Barrack Obama says 'mistakes have been made' you'd think the movie industry would be backing him up to the hilt in showing just what the fuck he meant by that.At least when the Soviets were having 2nd thoughts about Afghanistan Hollywood was good enough to make Rambo III to keep us all up-to-date with the latest developments.
-
..in the eighties/early nineties the IRA were the go-to guys if you needed an enemy that could be cast sympathetically with a minimum of voice coaching - Hollywood couldn't wait to leap behind its principles and paint us as the bad guys.Since peace broke out (though maybe not for long) what have we had. Veronica frickin' Guerin. A good film that shows a more realistic view of the machinations behind the conflict yes - but how many screens did it make?
-
Hollywoods all bark.
I'd like to see an Afghanistan movie...a serious war movie like Apocalypse Now or Platoon. Heck...maybe an entire war on terrorism movie. And not something focused entirely on the very worst thing that ever happened in the war. Atrocities happen in every war and focusing on it would make it not a movie about the current war but about all wars.
I would want to see something summing up the war as a whole...the objectives, the failures, the successes, where we are now, where we are headed...the lifes of Afghanis and Iraqi's mixing with the lives of the troops.
Make a fucking serious war movie hollywood. And not one about a single soldier dying and ruining the life of his family. Hows about one explaining the conflict. That way if when the conflict is explained and parts of it indeed seem pointless, the lives of those lost will really seem wasted....and not just on an emotional level. -
broadcasters for news, we certainly aren't going to go to Hollywood for it.But give us a movie where Jennifer Aniston finds true love with Gerard Butler's abs, and we might show up. If we're trying to impress a girl.Other than that, well, cgi the fuck out of some of our old toys and blow 'em up real good!
-
but I know that i had the batmanster action figured posed in a fighting stance protecting the entrance to the fort. I had the batster pod in the fort and was rolling it around pretending to be bats and running over pedestrians not deemed important enough to continue living in metropoville.
The green fairy knocked the fort down a few times. Batmanster would have stopped her but floating green bitches with perfect tits are one of his weaknesses. -
But you ain't gonna see one of those in this economy.The war on terror is largely an undefined conflict based on fabrications and politics of fear. You can't really Hollywoodize a complex issue when your go-to guy is Zach Snyder.
-
The truth is if you ever want to find out whats really going on in the world you need to find a source that is trying to make you laugh.The happy fool gets to pedal the truth while being safetly labelled a harmless crank - and those who don't want to hear it can just dismiss it as a joke and bury their heads back up their arse.
-
investigative journalism expose Blackwater.Hollywood has never been the place for real-world issue movies. Successful issue films, artistically or financially, are a true rarity. Hollywood invented the western and romanticised the gangster, for jebus' saki.
-
isn't the definition of a fool one who laughs when seriousness is more appropriate?I understand what you're saying. I'd rather watch The Daily Show than The Evening News With. But sometimes I wonder if that's not part of the problem. As long as we can make a joke out of some pretty heinous situations, we can sleep with ourselves, when it might do us some good to be forced to face some real demons for once.

and it might be wrong to think any imitation of him is...but I can't help laughing when Carter impersonates him on Hogans heroes or when they refer to him as ole' scramble brains. I can only justify it with the fact that many of the cast of Hogans Heroes were jewish and some were survivors of concentration camps and they were in favor of mocking Hitler for a laugh.
I do think the the holocaust should be completely off limits as far as humor goes. -

we really dont have the same taste in films..but they DO want to see IB...shocking that we live in a world where 60 year olds are venturing to tarantino films...ha!anyway, about tropic thunder, my dad didnt like it cause it was mocking the vietnam war...too soon he said...i asked if he watched the right film--cause the one i saw was mocking hollywood..

I don't want to know much about it before I see it. I've been diligently avoiding spoilers. But, do you think that this is going to connect with your typical audience or is there going to be a serious drop-off at the Box Office this week?
-
if Kobe wasn't some regular Back-pedaler taking a piss and yanking the chain. But, I don't think moose would've taken that far.
-
I didn't think there would be an audience for it in the first place, so I'm a terrible judge. I will say I think it's the first QT flick since PULP FICTION to have any real legs. The again, PULP FICTION's success surprised me, too. You never know.I think it's a good enough picture that it's value will be measured beyond box office receipts.
-
And I got it all mixed up. Still, I did think Kobe's Ass might've someone we all know under a different name.I should refresh before I post.

I'll be dropping random from my posts day, so that.
-
If that were the case, Bayformers would be a masterpiece. But, I heard that there is a lot of dialogue in IB and just figured that anyone going into it thinking it's a straight up action film might be disappointed. Just like how everyone expected Funny People to be another Knocked Up type comedy and it wasn't and tanked at the BO the next week. I'm wondering if the same thing is going to happen to IB or if the word of mouth is going to be strong. I'm going to see it no matter what.
-
and their endless campaigning...and marketing skills...it just so happened to also be good...
-
Thursday I watched Playtime on Blu-Ray and then Friday I saw that Mr. Hulot's Holiday was On Demand so I watched it and then Saturday IFC was playing Mon Oncle. It was all a conspiracy by the French to get me to watch what I call a French version of Mr. Bean from the 50s and 60s.
-
society in a whole seems to be that they need to see it opening week and then move on to the next big thing next week because thats what theyve been informed of...if you look at the stats from the 80s and to some extent 90s...the blockbusters killed week after week for months...now it seems to be that films can barely manage to get 2 weeks in a row...its either the quality and/or our attention span...reminds me of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS--pink is the new orange...
-
In this particular case, I think people will be pleasantly surprised that the dialogue isn't the typical "look-how-clever-I-am" wank from him. It all serves the characters There's even one character who never says a word that I can remember. The only people who might have a gripe will be those who thought it would be wall-to-wall Brad Pitt.Actually, most of the people I hang with think QT is a bit of a chore, and those who have seen it are all telling their friends to see it.
-
it's the deluge of marketing that sparks some Pavlovian nerve twitch, but the quality is so dismal these behemoths can't survive beyond their first week.Real quality can't sustain long runs, either, because we have been dumbed down - there's no denying that fact.So, for something to sustain B.O. success for weeks it has to be either mindlessly entertaining (like TRANSFORMERS) or it has to have zero competition in its second and third weeks.
-
That doesn't make sense. Scratch "either" while you're re-reading. Now? Clear as mud? For sustained Box Office success, these days, a film has to be mindlessly entertaining and have very little competition in its second and third week.
-
Most of his dialogue references pop culture usually from the 70s and sometimes ad nauseum as in DeathProof. Is there any of that in IB and if so what are the character's talking about: Humprhrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, The Three Stooges?
-
from the period. There's more of a cleverness with accents and languages than with actual words, if that makes any sense. At no time is there any threat that the characters are going to go off on a tangent about Superman.It is heavily sub-titled, though, so that's gonna be an issue for some, I suppose.The only quibbles I had were with the music - which is uncharacteristically wrong in one blatant instance, the graphics that get superimposed unnecessarily - you'll know 'em when you see 'em, and Eli Roth, who's a buffoon. Any one of those things might've ruined another film for me, but I was able to just ignore them in this instance because the fil as a whole was so audacious and entertaining and suspenseful.

..just a few lines that have a knowing (almost smug) cadence about them that sounds like typical QT banter (think Mia's Broken Promises line in Pulp Fiction) and a bit out of place in WW2 France.
-
have been QT's role. Smart for QT not to put himself in it, dumb to put a non-actor, Eli Roth instead.
-
I dunno, I might've cast a Brad Garrett-type in a role like that, instead of a googly-eyed squirt like Eli Roth. It's just a case of Tarantino throwing work to one of his clique.

fuck yes--glenn beck all alone and fat and sober and vulnerable.
by six demon bag
Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel on Monday after a vacation with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.
A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck's show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That's more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.
While it's unclear what effect, if any, this will ultimately have on Fox and Beck, it is already making advertisers skittish about hawking their wares within the most opinionated cable TV shows.
The Clorox Co., a former Beck advertiser, now says that "we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts." The maker of bleach and household cleaners said in a statement that it has decided not to advertise on political talk shows.
The shows present a dilemma for advertisers, who usually like a "safe" environment for their messages. The Olbermanns, Hannitys, O'Reillys, Maddows and Becks of the TV world are more likely to say something that will anger a viewer, who might take it out on sponsors.
They also host the most-watched programs on their networks.
"This is a good illustration of that conundrum," said Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, which he said has temporarily halted buying ads on Fox News Channel as a whole.
Beck can bring the eyeballs. With the health care debate raising political temperatures, his show had its biggest week ever right before his vacation, averaging 2.4 million viewers each day, according to Nielsen Media Research.
He was actually on another Fox show July 28 when he referred to Obama as a racist with "a deep-seated hatred for white people." The network immediately distanced itself from Beck's statement, but Beck didn't. He used his radio show the next day to explain why he believed that. He would not comment for this article, spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said.
ColorofChange.org quickly targeted companies whose ads had appeared during Beck's show, telling them what he had said and seeking a commitment to drop him. The goal is to make Beck a liability, said James Rucker, the organization's executive director.
"They have a toxic asset," Rucker said. "They can either clean it up or get rid of it."
It's not immediately clear how many of the companies actually knew they were advertising on Beck's show. Sometimes commercial time is chosen for a specific show, but often it is bought on a rotation basis, meaning the network sprinkles the ads throughout the day on its own schedule. Sometimes ads appear by mistake; Best Buy said it bought commercial time for earlier in the day, and one of its ads unexpectedly appeared in Beck's show.
One company, CVS Caremark, said it advertises on Fox but hadn't said anything about Beck. Now it has told its advertising agency to inform Fox that it wanted no commercials on Beck.
"We support vigorous debate, especially around policy issues that affect millions of Americans, but we expect it to be informed, inclusive and respectful," said spokeswoman Carolyn Castel.
Besides the unpredictability of the opinionated cable hosts, the rapid pace of today's wired world complicates decisions on where to place ads, said Kathleen Dunleavy, a spokeswoman for Sprint. She said she was surprised at how fast the Beck issue spread across social media outlets and how quickly advertiser names were attached to it.
UPS' Hallabran said the decision to pull commercials "should not be interpreted as we are permanently withdrawing our advertising from Fox." He said the company wants to reach viewers with a wide spectrum of opinions.
Except for UPS Stores, there's no evidence that any advertisers who say they don't want to be on Beck's show are leaving Fox. Network spokeswoman Irena Briganti said the companies have simply requested the ads be moved elsewhere and that Fox hasn't lost any revenue.
She wouldn't say whether Fox was benefiting from any anti-anti-Beck backlash, with companies looking to support him. Some Beck supporters have urged fans to express their displeasure at companies for abandoning their man.
Beck supporters have suggested that retaliation might have something to do with ColorofChange.org's campaign. One of the group's founders, Van Jones, now works in the Obama administration and has been criticized by Beck. But Rucker said Jones has nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn't even know about the campaign before it started.
Beck's strong ratings — even at 5 p.m. EDT he often outdraws whatever CNN and MSNBC show in prime-time — make it unlikely Beck is going anywhere even as the list of advertisers avoiding him approaches three dozen.
But it could mean advertising time becomes cheaper on his show than such a large audience would normally command. Some of his show's advertisers last week included a male enhancement pill, a law firm looking to sue on behalf of asbestos victims, a company selling medical supplies to diabetics and a water filter company.
Rucker said ColorofChange.org has contacted about 60 companies regarding Beck, and is heartened by the response.
"It's causing a certain conversation around Beck, which I think is important," he said
-
I agree, to hear the bat and then see him walking out was an anticlimax but QT could call it a twist of convention.Looking at the photo of Timothy Carey on 42082 you can sort of see what they were going for. But Eli Roth just doesn't have that hard-man look of someone like him or Charles Bronson no matter how much he's been training.That and everytime he opens his mouth when interviewed he sounds like an arsehole. He's probably a nice guy. Just sounds like an arsehole.

The images of the jungles remind me of Robota, which is exciting, but the film in general looks like a letdown from this angle. However, trailers can be misleading, especially when they're vague.

In the last few years he has begun adding more personal exposition a la Harry to his reviews. I know he's well aware of Harry and this site and I believe that Harry has influenced Ebert (some would say negatively). As far a Avatar goes, maybe Roger wanted to get in on all the fanboy fun.

Although Tarantino has toyed with the idea of a "Vega Brothers" movie that would explore the backstories of Michael Madsen and John Travolta's beloved killer siblings, it's looking highly unlikely. Instead, "Basterds" star Omar Doom revealed to us recently that the director's first sequel/prequel might look back on the origins of his Nazi hunters. "He has a lot of material to work with; he's got like 500 [leftover] pages, so he could shoot another movie next week if he wanted to. If all goes well with this one, we could be shooting again pretty soon — he did talk about a prequel," explained the actor, who said he'd love to return as Pfc. Omar Ulmer. "He has this whole other story that he wrote."
-
Considering there's not a real abundance of Basterds in BASTERDS, I could see a prequel being a good idea.

The trend in these films is to show the monster within the first few minutes, although it’s less of a reveal and more of a ‘confession’ given the quality of the CGI. Two guys and a chick are fleeing through a rainforest, and a giant Komodo is chasing them. It sadly looks less real than the monster from CURSE OF THE KOMODO, and that’s saying something. They attempt the old ‘It can’t see us if we stand still trick’, but predictably, one of them spoils it by running, and gets swallowed hole for his trouble.The other dude thinks he’s escaped, along with his daughter when the titular Cobra appears out of a pool and swallows him whole too! No table manners here. In case you’re wondering, the snake looks like shit too.

It would be cool to see aldo in his tennessee moonshine running days and find out when he got that scar. I could also watch an entire movie about Landa living his life after or before the war.

Are discussing the dearth of news from ‘the island’ (these things are ALWAYS on islands) and elect to send a team to check it out. The General in charge is sporting a pair of eyebrows that look like they’ve had a sizable dose of gamma rays too. I half expect them to leap off his face and devour his subordinate, but the budget probably won’t stretch that far.

the general and marty scorsese?
-
Sporting shit eating grins and looking like they stepped out of some soft focus fuck-a-thon are searching for a ships captain to take them to an Island somewhere. You know the one I'm talking about."A honeymoon cruise around the islands" he sneers, "don't that just warm the cockles of my heart" Oh you salty sea dog you. His asshole tendencies don't put off our charming twosome, who are environmentalists of some sort.
-
At the docks, we’re introduced to the rest of our hapless and no doubt soon to be mauled greenpeace-alikes. They’re all vastly more photogenic than your average environmentalist, but I probably shouldn’t be complaining about realism in a film about giant mutant reptiles. Reminds me of the Harry Potter joke. ”I don’t find Harry Potter realistic””What because of the magic and wizards and things?””No because of the ginger kid with TWO friends! Bwahahahahahaha!”
-
Is some sort of Hollywood starlet who cares deeply about the environment. I think her character is meant to be some airhead diva, of which she gives a passable imitation. They anchor off the Island, waiting for the next morning to go ashore. As they do, a pair of helicopters fly past bearing our elite special forces cannon fodder.

Huddling together for warmth, pretty much. If the lizards ever learn to use hand grenades they could get all of this lot in one pop. Still, whether they'll prove to be as incompetent as the lot Coolio led is unclear at this point.They unwisely split up and stalk off into the mist. A GIANT TONGUE appears out of nowhere and drags on of them off to his doom. Another two are killed by the 30ft tall Komodo, which suprises them by coming straight towards them at walking pace. It crushes them both with one mighty claw.Interestingly (or not) the exact same thing happens to some soldiers in CURSE OF THE KOMODO, showing that even in the close knit community of the giant mutant Komodo sub genre, it's every hack for himself.

“So this is Isla Damas” says one “No its the Jersey shore” replies Captain Sarcasm. What a prick. Our chief environmentalist, who I’ll call LANCE, for no real reason, says the military are engaged in something called PROJECT CARNIVORE on the island.”Are you sure we should be here?” says our pretty little redhead “Look if I didn’t think I were doing the right thing we wouldn’t be here at all.” Says Lance. I’m sure that will be of great consolation to whoever ends up in the Komodo’s next bowel movement. “Dollface, you shoulda thought about that before you got on the boat” says Captain Asshole. That shut you up, didn’t it dollface?

-
A nice house in the middle of the jungle. That house looks a bit like the one from CURSE OF THE KOMODO too, but put that to one side. Apparently this is the base of operations for some geneticist, whose theories are "textbook throughout the world".I can only assume my school must have had a non conformist syllabus, since I never learnt how to breed reptiles of enormous size in biology class.Hilariously, after resolving to go in and bust up his research, they are stumped by rather flimsy looking locked door.
-
Such gems as, ‘House on Hooter Hill’, ‘The Breastford Wives’, ‘Busty Cops 2’, ‘Bare Wench: The Final Chapter’ and, just to broaden her range ‘Killer Sex Queens from Cyberspace’. She was also in Cry of the Winged Serpent, which I’ll keep an eye out for.
-
this geneticist is testing his giant genes stuff on lizards to make sure it works before he applies it to really hot bitches. Apparently he watched dude wheres my car too much as a child and hasnt gotten over his giant bitch fetish.
-
Someone left the back door open, and they sneak in, to find it deserted. As they ponder the whereabouts of its former inhabitants, the girl from the opening scene pops up, and demands that they all leave, right away, emphasising her point with a loaded gun. “Whats the matter” says Lance, busting out a smirk you could never get tired of slapping “something here you don’t want us to see?” You’d better believe it Lance.One of the team gives the girl the worst leer since Jon Voight in Anaconda, leading me to believe the director will attempt to spice things up later with an attempted rape scene later. Nothing gets the audience pumped like a bit of sexual assault, right?!
-
Goes for a crafty smoke in the garden. Cue "They'll kill ya" jokes as the Giant Cobra pops up from behind a bush and fixes to eat him. Hearing his cries, the rest of the munch bunch sprint out, in time to see him get swallowed. The Captain blasts it with his pistol, to no effect, and it slithers off into a river. Poor old Dirk.

why are all the douchesters in these movies named lance?
by water_shit_anderson
-
Military guys. The pictures have come in, but are inconclusive. Nothing of interest but a large, lizard shaped mound. They inexplicably fail to deduce that its giant mutant Komodo dragon, and instead order more recon flights of the island. The generals eyebrows are laying low for the moment.
-
Still wanna know when my Astros game is? Sept.12th 6:05pm. See you there?
-
Having seen one of their number eaten in front of them, they decide the best thing to do is to set up a camera and record a bit of travelogue. “We need to get off the island” sobs Glori-Anne, displaying the acting chops that won her plaudits in Evil Ambitions: AKA Satanic Yuppies. They’re interrupted by the Komodo, and try the aforementioned standing still trick. Glori, inexplicably, runs, and dies. You think she’d learned from the FIRST time she was trapped on a motion detectingly challenged giant mutant lizard infested island.They take refuge in the basement of the house, where HOT SCIENCE DAUGHTER explains why exactly they’ve been breeding mutant lizards. To cut a long story short, it’s to end world hunger, just like in CURSE OF THE KOMODO. And you thought mainstream Hollywood was creatively bankrupt.
-
When will they learn it only ever leads to ill?
-
We see General eyebrows inducing Geneticist dad to modify his research for military applications. Wait a gosh darned minute! I thought he didn’t know what was going on! He’s a sly one. I thought for a second we might see the much anticipated face off twixt snake and lizard as they escape confinement, but the Komodo bottles it and fucks off. Pussy. Back in the present, they decide they have to get off the island before the military bombs it.
-
Glori-Anne Gilbert also served as Best Girl in the Electrical Department on Breastford Wives, Witches of Breastwick and House on Hooter Hill. Is there anything she can't do?
-
try to make it...
-
probably was part of craft services and makeup too...
-
Resolves to bomb the island back to the stone age after seeing new footage of giant lizards frolicking in the pastures.Meanwhile, our team hikes out back to the beach. A gravely wounded man collapses on them out of a bush; turns out he’s a helicopter pilot for the project who never made it out. In another awesome flashback, he recounts his experience. His team mates dead (including one black dude who gets crushed after trapping his sneakers on a gate; trust me you have to see it to appreciate the comic genius) he was covered in the beasts toxic saliva...wait a minute I’ve seen this before damn it! He croaks, but if he gets resurrected as a zombie in a minute I want my money back.
-
She did makeup on Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood
-
...she wasn't the best girl on the set. If you know what I mean.
-
They're so close to safety! Unfortunately a jet flies overhead and bombs their waiting ship. If that weren't enough of a bummer, the cobra pops up out of the water and eats Sleazy Camera dude. Despite the fact that their guns seem to hold a million bullets, Lance and Captain Cynical cannot save him. He should have done what dollface did, i.e run off squealing.They try to decide on a plan. The captain elects to track down the projects helicopter and fly out, while Lance blusters about building a raft. Like that work you prick.Interestingly, as the film goes on, the Captain is turning into the hero, while Lance is turning into a self righteous, whining asshole. Dollface has to calm him down while Captain Rugged bonds with Science Daughter over some whiskey.
-
Lame joke. But it was the 'BEST' I had. Get it guys? Huh? Huh?
-
One of team, a reporter type, records a video diary.”The monsterous behemoths you have seen in this tape are not the work of a Hollywood effects wizard” No. Fucking. Shit.

Ted, Conti, Subs, cheeses, water_shit, stabby, sdb, savage, and any other backpedalers I missed..
Get your asses over to 'aint it bale news' and register your names the check out the Karate Kid thread - we're planning a little 'outing' tommorrow at 13:00 and it'd be great to have you there.

KOMODO VS COBRA - how the FUCK have I not seen this movie!!!
*cobra for the win* -
Thanks, Cobra Kia, (where we STILL give you cash for your clunker even though the government has ended that program)...Cobra man...come clean...were you fake Asi?
-
Inquiring minds want to know...
-
They are faced with a river crossing. "What if the snake is in there?" asks dollface. Captain No Nonsense blasts a few rounds into the water "That woulda woke him up" he hits back with. In a scene of indescibable tension, they cross, and Lance has some sort of panic attack half way across. "My backs on fire" he yells, but no snake is to be seen.When they get to the other side, they whip off his shirt to reveal GIANT LEECHES attached to his back, and by giant I mean the size of a trout or something. Wow its like a REALLY low rent skull island around here. They burn them off, as Lance screams.Apparently, any life form which comes into contact with the mutant creatures may itself grow to enormous size. The prospect of a giant mutant Lance at this point is too horrifying to contemplate.
-
I just re-read Cobra Kia's ad and he said there would be an "outing" at 1:00 pm, for those not familiar with military time, on 8-25-09...Who are the planning to "out"?
-
click.
-
judgement day baby...judgement day..
-
Had a look on the AIBN board and the outing looks like fun. I'll be at work round that time but I'll be looking forward to viewing events afterwards.Good job on the site by the way, I was having a look round t'other day. I'm not much of a Karate Kid fan but it holds great resonance for many of my generation, my housemate included.
-
I'm coming to Austin sometime next week. My daughter has free tickets to Slitterbaun (sp)and we have some friends there....That is if Judgement day doesn't come on Saterday...
-
Lance is flagging. Captain Hard Boiled helps him along. "He's starting to grow on me" He says, mystifyingly. Because this is being shown at 8 P.M, all the swearwords in this one are being obscured by some bizarre animal sound effects. I actually thought it was a deliberate joke on the part of the director, but even he couldn't be that lame.They find the chopper, but unfortunately, so does the Komodo. Whatever are they to do?
-
cause im a vampire...in preparation for the Twilight TB approaching, i have been slowly conditioning my DNA and letting rats suckle my blood...i couldnt find any bats...BATMAN!!!!nanananananananan-batman!
-
i live in houston...not that far away...tempting.ted lives in austin.
-
Thought you lived there...I only allow myself to post when I am in an altered state of consciousness...My altered states are kind of retarded...
-
Also comes down with a case of heroism, and runs off (miraculous recovery there Lance) to distract the lizard. Captain Heroism goes at it from behind with his infinite ammo cheats enabled.Camera girl gets tail whipped by the lizard as she and Dollface and Science Girl GET TO ZE CHOPPAH! Lance's plan seems to be working until the Cobra stalks upo behind him and swallows his annoying ass. Ha! You tried to save the animals, but it is YOU who needs saving! Oh I slay me...
-
Was inexcusable...I even sent in a letter of protest...
-
In the back is a littler bar called La Cucaracha, and they're always playing some crazy old movie with subtitles_on.
-
We've had to wait 90 minutes (it seemed like longer) but finally we get to see the 2 animals fight. The Cobra utilises its speed to dart and jab at the komodo, a Lance struggles to start the helicopter. Finally the rotors start to turn and they lift off, as the jets come screaming in.In a blaze of suspicously familiar stock footage, the island is rocked by explosions, which consume both out mutant brawlers.
-
I would absolutely love to have a beer with you (and 6DB). I could give you my work number. If you ask for Blue Beetle you'll get me. No shit.
-
to learn that they got out. "It's all over the news" says his aide. I was expecting them to rip off the end of CURSE OF THE KOMODO where the general shoots himself, but they choose not to show it.
Back on the decimated island, the camera closes in on the dead helicopter pilot..DUN DUN DUHHHHH! He's sporting a forked tongue and snake eyes and hisses at us menacingly! What a twist! END! -
..if you are cool with that (posting numbers here)...Not sure what day we're coming down yet, but maybe as early as this weekend...
-
Did you really send a letter to DC over Ted? Because I'd take a bullet for anyone who gave Ted props like that. Probably.
-
Given that Captain Amazing was last seen rescuing three nubile and presumably grateful chicks, we can assume that he will shortly be rolling in pussy. Does he do them all, or some combination of the three? Inquiring minds wish to know.When will we get to see the sequel, SNAKE MAN VS GIANT EYEBROWS?

asking for Ted, the Blue Beetle...?Just thinking of your privacy...Though a great way to meet future friends...
-
Although the battle was rudely interupted by the air force, the COBRA was clearly ahead on points when the bombs went off.

..and I bitched at everyone in the comics shop...Why didn't Ted get all the cool shit that the new hispanic kid gets? That pisses me off even more...

to have a convo about AVATAR...FUCK THAT!!!theyre idiots over there...only good place is with my bros right the fuck here.

Be at peace...you are among friends...

We could relocate to an old node and I could tell you there. Or I could leave finding the area code up to you, that'd surely foil some of the less mentally astute trolls. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind the info desk paging "Phone call for the Blue Beetle on line one."
-
As you may have noticed, there are more than a few similarities between this and CURSE OF THE KOMODO. After detective work worthy of the BATMANSTER I can inform you all that the director of this, Jim Wynorski, also directed CURSE under the name Jay Andrews. While its sad to see someone mining their old material for remakes, its preferable to thinking we live in a world where someone might watch CURSE OF THE KOMODO and think "What the world needs is a reboot of this franchise!"Unfortunately I can't help but feel his earlier effort was the more succesful. The characters were better drawn, and the monster was more convicing. Like many great directors, he's fallen into the trap of over indulgence, much like Sam Raimi in Spiderman 3. The virtues of CURSE lay in it's simplicity, its raw emotion and unvarnished sincerity. Most damningly of all, in KOMODO vs COBRA, My Wynorski fails to make full use of Ms Gilberts magnificent norks, a decision for which I cannot forgive him.
-
Drastic measures had to be called to save the worlds poulation. tonights episode will be compiled soon ay reckon. I'm sticking to the TOS writer's bible too.

I'm off for the night. Up next, ABOMINABLE! Will the title also serve as the review?! Only time will tell!

Back before the internaet age, I had two letters published in comics letter pages. One in Nova 18 (?) and the other in one issue after the Bierbaum "5-years later" re-boot of the Legion of Superheroes in the late 80's...I was also a member of Klordny, a Legion APA...
-
And your review dovetails nicely into the TB's alleged 'topic'. Very nicely done, sir.

I'll follow...then the moderators will shit that site down...Perfect...

Great Filmblog...

I've had one letter published, Avengers Vol 3 No.5 or 6. Those are nice credentials, chief. But yeah, we really should have a beer, just for the experience of meeting someone thru AICN.

..to meet face to fac...beer to beer...Pick a random thread...post your 'random' (wink, wink) number without explination and no dashes...post only the node digits here...separated by capital P's....
-
I just registered at AIBN, the more fuckable sister site to AICN. Are you registered there, because I think it'd be better to do it there.

Last summer, when the Church of Chang - the mighty CoC, was at full strength in the Twitch TB's, we routinely had the number one TB. But being number one meant we drew trolls like moths to a flame. I made it a practice to never feed the trolls. Would not say one word to a troll - ever. But some felt compelled to reply. One troll in particular rose to the top, a thing called egg salad. Very, very vile. Always with the most disgustingly insulting and truly awful things to say, mostly about Harrys mother, or other posters. One day, he came into the TB and started his shit, when out of nowhere like the hammer of God Liberal Warrior jumped on him and tore him for or five new holes. It was awesome, almost completely one sided, but I had never seen anything like it. Lib War ripped that dude so brutally it was breathtaking. You could actually see eggy just wilting and curling up into a fetal position screaming 'no more'. The warrior kept up though. Finally when it was over - and eggy just did not respond anymore, the rest of us slowly came back into the tb just shaking our figurative heads over what we had seen. Eggy was gone for about two or three weeks. He came back, but he was never the same.
-
that The Back-pedalers would make a show at their soiree. I even said diarrhea would bring BATMANSTER. So, now we gotta do it, or I end up looking very amateur.

Gotta smoke em if ya got em! I have seen kobe before, but he was not in troll mode, he was fighting the good fight against some anti-semites, he even said he was jewish. Some eeeveel turned him to the dark side. As for Tranny, well he's nuts.

the coninuing adventures of BATMANSTER? BATMANSTER keeps the City of Metropoville safe with his super-powered libido by raping and pillaging at will. he is the creation of water_shit_anderson, all rights reserved, and he makes his appearance around here, nightly.
-
See ya in a few -gotta read
-
So battlestarman and his son watchdog of seven and 3 years are out on the docks. And batman is rambling stream of concious and young ribbon robbin watchdog stouts posting postit notes in his brain because snot nosed little brats learn shit like that from their dads. Battlepack shoutin stuff about bombs and rocket cars and the kid is soaking all this up between the ears which is good unless your dad is batman and hes going batmad which the kids dad is.
so later that day after droppin the kid of at child and kid services bats has one thing on his mind...the same thing in fact that hes been thinking about all day: GOTTA GET A HAMBERG. Need some nice tomatoes on that thing and gotta ketch some heiz on that thing drippin in between the moustard. Bats by now is gettin pornographic with this hamberger in his mind when all the suddon fantom man who stole batmans car a year ago drives up and firebombs the birger stand with a nucleaur fucker warhead and the thing goes sky high.
bats is beside himself. HIs rage transcends the bonds of conciousness and the realities of the world around him. HE fucking apes shits a black hole in his mind and travels to the spot in the future where spinsterman will be standing after having so recently fucked the berger stop.
Dr sandman arrives with greasy telltale berg stains on his jacket and glowing testicles...a certain sighn of radio nuke bomb waves. Bats shakes his head informing The spinster he done fucked up one too many. So batman tells spinster to hand over the sign in to his netflix account or its trouble. Sandy is no way giving that shit up because the 5 squanderers is on later and thats a good one. OH SHIT!...BAt man uses his time travel techniques to grab spinster doc by the nuts and is demanding the sign in code which he promptly recieves..
Bats then timetravels back to before the berg stand blows up and gets a berg

Fresh out of Arkam with a bit of a headache, our hero Batster walks into the bar at metropolo’s edge of town feeling mean and not be fucked with. And wouldn’t you know it but some old man hobbles up to him and unwisely starts yammerin at batster about how he should give him some booze money because hes only had 35 brews and he needs a few more. Bats stares the old bag of bones down and says that for gods and everyone elses sakes go and suck it... because if there is one thing bats will not abide it is old wrinkled up bonebags. So bats throws the old man out onto the street and the old guy is run over by a taxi and killed in a horrible accidental death.
feeling very satisfied, the batmanster walks up to the counter and demands the usual: A gallon of moonshine on the house, or else, and after that its back to the batsterpod where bats turns the ignition switch while swigging down a few gulps of the hardstuff. The engine roars to life and the ground begins to shake. Bats is getting turned on by all the flames and glory.... "Fuck it" says bats....its time to rape!! Bats picks up the batcell and speedials his number 1 contact on his alltel my circle: Its his old pal doc kobysawa. Bats shouts over the phone that he’ll meet the kobster at white castle for some first degree sexual assult and sliders if hes hungry by then.
but true to form old kobysaki is way ahead of him. He’s already there and hes already getting down to business. The line at white berger is long and kobster walks in with a gun and says nobody even think about it. At this point it has been decided: The outcome is rape. So old kobesawa struts up to the sign at the front of the line that says “wait here while we fill your order” and changes it to say “wait here...until its your turn to be raped”. Right then batster walks in while kobysaki is changing the sign and impressed at his fellow rapists sense of style and initiative, declares the kobester an improvisational genius..... A veritable jazz musician of rape.
After the good times at castle bergster and the end of his booze bottle, bats is slumming along the streets staggering and slurring his words thinking about how bad mary janster needs a fuck when wouldn’t you know it..... here is spinster right in front of him with a loaded glock 9!! It looks like the jig is up for our old pal and hero raperman battle man... and bats just stands there wobble legging back and forth about to fall over. Doc Jokester sees the condition hes caught bats in and cackles with glee. Finally he will simply shoot batster in the face and no one will stop him from running around the city in purple pants. He lunges forward, lets out an especially loud laugh, and starts to pull the trigger on old batmanster!!!..
Just then swinging in from above comes a blur of red and green like a Christmas tree that isn’t sure if it likes girls or boys and who is it but battlemans young son of yore and legend: Robin to save the day!!! Young watchdogster robster lands daintily on his twinkle toes and gives doc sandster a slap across the mouth which suprises the old spinster so badly that he drops the gun and runs in fright thinking he has offended what must possibly be batmansters gay lover.
Batster walks up and pats his son on the back. Thanks to goodness for his wonderful son to swoop in at the last second and save his moonshined old dad. He tells the little robster that he loves him and always will no matter what. It’s the booze talking because if batmans vision wasn’t a complete fucked over blur and he could actually see what his son was wearing....things would be different. So the reunited pair walk home together, batmanster and watchdog ribster robster into the red morning sun.
-
just dropping by to say "howdy" and see what was going on here a week or so later. Let the good times roll, friends. PArty On!
-
So its next saturday and bats has his golf shorts on and his 6 iron out and him and old commish Gordster are hitting the links. And they are playing and enjoying the sunshine and the flowers when all the sudden gordster clams up and stops talkin. And bats notices and he says "yo gord dog...whats up bro?"
And Doc gordster gets this look on his face all weird and all the sudden spins around to face batman and starts yelling, spittle flying. He says "Batmanster I know you've been fucking my wife and its got to stop damn it you batmanster this is my wife for gods sakes!"
Bats takes it all in stride and lets Gordman have his little rant fest. When Gordons done bats calmly explains to him that he can have it one of two ways: 1. Either Commish gords wife remains on bats sexual menu or 2. Bats will give Gordans hot early twenties daughter some batdick for christmas. The choice is Gordsters.
Needless to say the rest of the match was awkward.

Episode 2: THIS AIN'T CHECKERS IT'S CHESS.
Captain's Log Stardate 253.11. We've been making good progress so far into the infinite beyond. Our coordinates have brought us near Earth, now at stable population level from our heroic attempt. McCoy and Spock have been at it again. Sulu seems like he's hiding something. I've left those suttbon shit smears in the tiolet bowl again. No matter these personal foibles we've come upon a strange incoming vortex near us.
Kirk: Sulu, stop loking at that redshirt. Scotty, increase forward shields.
Scotty: Aye capn.
Kirk: Everyoen brace yourselves, FIRE!
Kirk: is everyone okay? How about you sweet cheeks?
Spock: Strange, the vortex appeared to pass us by.
Kirk: Okay Scotty beam us down whence more.
McCoy: Why are we back on Earth again?
Kirk: I... sense someting wentWRONG.
Spock: This appears to be the 1944th year of Earth and we appear to be in the middle of a global occuring war of some sort. We appear to be in some snowy palace like structure.
McCoy: That vortex must have caused us to go back in time!
Stalin: Hey comrades, come here.
KirK: We.. comeinpeace, and wish... to solve all our problems.
Stalin: I've been invaded by these western barbarians, they are merciless and a war like race, we've already lost millions.
Kirk: How can we help to stop this massacre!
Stalin: Here is the globe, we're here and this whole area is fighting against us, right now this large island "Britain" is getting ready to send its forces across the "English Channel" to help supply the "Germans" to help attack us. I want you to stop them! All of civilization depends upon you and the blood of our millioins!
Kirk: It will certainly... be an honor. And we will giveitatry. Scotty beam us up.
McCoy: This is excellent vodka.
Spock: In a situation like this we must freeze those forces somehow.
Kirk: Deploy the freezing ray on coordinates 2951.5291.521.
[D-Day June 6th 1944]
Eisenhower: It's go time, deploy the ships... everythign is getting cold... so... AAAAAAUUUUGHH.
Spock: The viewscan is showing signs of extreme freezing at 1500 degrees below faranheit.
McCoy: A winter wonderland! so pretty *hiccup*
Kirk: Good work. Now Mr. Stalin you won't have any trouble in defeating those barbarians. Just like we did with the Klingons or Romulans, or whatever nutsack race we did... BALANCEOFPOWER!
[on Earth]Stalin: Those space comrades did good work! Generals, the Brits and Americans have now left the door open to take over the rest of Europe as well! bearhugs for all! now we can also take over all of Japan before the Americans!
[ENTERPRISE BRIDGE]
Spock: The scanners are showing Mr. Stalin's men have successfully defeated the enemy all over that land mass. I'm witnessing a lot of repression and executions all over this region of "Europe" and "Japan".
McCoy: *hiccup* Of course it worked you lame brained... vampiric looking robot...
Kirk: Haha ;) The balance of power has been retained.
Uhura: Vortex incoming again Captain.
Kirk: Good Lt. Sexy ;), back to present time. Let's get out of here. WARP FACTOR 5! -

Mr._George_Kaplan noted a glaring omission in my list of 5-star movies: Q: THE WINGED SERPENT, and he taught me how to pronounce Quetzalcoatl. Just like it's spelled. Duh.savagedave noted that I had also left off YOR: HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE.

And I hate the 30 minutes of trailers they play before movies in the theater. Also, I guess I'm not a geek when it comes to the need to be the first to see something in the theaters either. I've never camped out or even went to a Thursday night premiere. David Lynch is probably the only filmmaker I need to see opening day at this point.

It's the twenty minute advertisement that I can't stand. "First Look" or whatever it's called.And, if they don't play that, they bludgeon you with that weak adult-rock crap.I could just go later and try to skip all that, but I HAVE to have the center seat at the top of the auditorium.
-
David Lynch? God his last mastabetory excuse of a film. I can't believe you fall for his shit. Inland Empire is shit covered shit.
-
and I'm usually only interested in 1 out of 10. Not to sound snobbish, but I find most trailers insulting to my intelligence. Also, I'm glad that voice of the trailers guy died, because whoever thought it was a great idea to have the same voice narrate every friggin trailer?
-
If a trailer has NIN, ala 300. Then you know the trailer will be better then the movie. THOUGH I will give David Lynch credit for bringing NIN into films. I know he's been used before Perfect Drug, but since then its just taken off. Still can't believe he wrote a song specifically for Tomb Raider though.
-
When I saw A Perfect Getaway there was the three most generic movie trailers in a row EVER before the film. Love Happens, sappy rom-com with Two Face and Jennifer Aniston. Sorority Row, a slasher flick a girl is killed then a year later people that know about it start dying (I know what you did last summer 5), with Bruce Willis ugly ass daughter. Couples Retreat, I think this is the sequel to Four Christmases, Ironman Director, Jason Bateman, that Asian guy who is in everything all of the sudden and one of the SITC girls and that Verionica Mars girl everyone likes (oh and Jean Reno???).
They all look like if you looked up the definition of Rom-Com, Horror, Comedy these would be the generic fake trailers they would show you. Whats worse is that they are all directed by first time directors so we get to look forward to nothing from them. Also odd fact Couple Retreat is directed by the little kid from A Christmas Story? I guess the drugs didn't get him. He was in Four Christmases as well, probably why is looks like a sequel.
-
Look up Nick Swardsons cd Party. Its pretty good.

-
because Lynch distributed it himself and it had a limited run. I think it played for one weekend in the theater near me. I was imbibing when I saw it so it wasn't as bad to me as to you and others. Ebert loved it. I think. But, I don't really have a desire to revisit it anytime soon. But, I still say like Tarantino. a bad David Lynch film is still miles above most everything else. At least you know it will be something you've never seen.
-
Its these direct to VHS movies for movies that didn't make any money at the theater but maybe some on the VHS circuit. Shit like The Cell 2 and Green Street Hooligans 2. How do those things recoup their costs? Also I guess movie makers just hope that people are dumb enough to pic up the sequel, or pick it up thinking they are getting the original?

has SCHMAVATAR maquettes?What DEFUCK is a maquette?And if you were wondering if there could be a gayer word for "figurine," I present "maquette."

Batmanster finishes off one of his favorite world famous spinkle bars and beams with sastisfaction. What a great day it will be in the fine town of metropoville. He calls up the commish and flat out demands to know what is happenin on the crime front. Gord tells him there is a prostitute begin held against her will at the top of the tallest tower in metropoland by grand arch skeemster docter ironman himself.
Batster flushes with rage and gives the speed of light a crash course in real speed as he takes the batpot to the limits of its rocketpowers and then in a flash hes on the roof and facing down that dastardly guy ironmanster himself.
Bats screams that he requires the freedom of the girl if ironsides wants to see another second of life, to which the crimster with the girl in his clutches lets out a laugh as if to say you will have to fight me battleman!
Oh fuck it is on now, and like a flash of lighting batster throws a bat granade at pigiron and with a clank and a clash the iron giant is knocked from the tall tower and sent a’ plummeting to his doom at the bottom. Bats walks up to the girl to apologize for having covered her in grisly shrapnel marks but hey...what are you gonna do. She thanks the batster profusely for coming to her rescue and is about leave when bats reminds her that getting saved from the clutches of iron manster comes with a price and it can be consensual or forced...either way its about 10 o clock am and bats needs to fulfill his mid morning urge.
Mad crazy sex happens on the roof and the town of metropoville can hear with each echoing moan that batmanster has indeed again saved the day and there is nothing to worry about.
-
No Inland Empire was god fucking awful. A bad David Lynch film is given a chance to be seen because its David Lynch, but that movie was fucking god awful. I'm usually ok for his odd style, but that movie went no where and you couldn't even see half the shit that was on the screen anyway. Also at least a bad QT film is watchable and user friendly. A bad David Lynch film makes you not want to watch anything for a week.
-
I won't go into what I thought about it here as at this point everyone is sick to death about it, I'm sure. I'll save it for the Empire forum since that is the topic du jour. I still say it looks like a Roger Dean Yes album.

"Oh fuck it is on now!"
-
About the pointlessness and awfulness of Inland Empire. This douche hole was telling me how he watched it three times in a row, thats 9 hours of movie. Now it took me about 9 hours just to get through it once because I kept falling asleep and having to rewind it. At the end I wish I had just sent it back. He went on and on trying to explain the meaning, but like the film he could never reach a point or make any sense. Why/how could you watch that movie more then once in a row. I probably can't watch it twice in the same year.
-
Mario Galaxy 2 has yoshi. Finally a reason to have the Wii again.
-
Or maybe not that classy, maybe a Starcastle album cover!Google Starcastle, young'uns. Just don't say I didn't warn yas.Another good comparison I've heard is FERNGULLY.
-
That was a serious disappointment to me as I've come to expect top notch and often gorgeous cinematography in a Lynch film and he chose to shoot it on a $2000 video camera. But, I like Lynch's surreal and disjointed dreamlike form of storytelling. Usually he tempers it with conventions like film noir and melodrama, but this was his most abstract film to date and as a fan I can appreciate it.
-
Can you watch it 5 times...in a fucking row?
-
so i can place it on my pillow and tell him before i go to sleep that.."law dont go around here, law dog..."
-
But, then I usually don't watch anything several times in a row. I watched IE well over a year ago and still have no desire to rewatch it.
-
Two times?What kind of a goofball criteria is that?
-
Those are the typical David Lynch fans. They write you off because you wouldn't want to watch the Masters work OVER and OVER and OVER again. The first time was torture enough. And that guys such a prick he expects you to watch his films that much, just to even START to understand what he is talking about. Its that sort of attitude that just drives me batty.
-
What is the maximum number of times you can re-watch a film? Before the activity becomes pointless, I mean.
-
usually it has to be a comedy though. Actually last year I saw a bunch of films 2 times in the theater. Speed Racer, Wall-E and Tropic Thunder.
-
If the movie is good enough he can watch it on a loop. He claimed to have watched There Will Be Blood fives time in like one week when he got it on DVD. Check out his dvd colum of that. See what I don't get about that and the guy on IMDB who said they watched Inland Ball Suckingfest Empire is that those movies are 3 hours. 3 fucking hours. Where the fuck do they have time to do that? I've realized that there is SO much shit out there I've yet to see that there is no more time left to revisit stuff. So I watch movies once then move on.
-
My friends in high school proved that there is no fineite number. I remember when Eruotrip came out, and my buddies and I would get together and just play that fucking Scotty Doesn't know OVER and OVER and OVER, granted we were drunk and stoned, but even I got bored of it.
-
Watching shit OVER and OVER loses its appeal.
-
Once and the again, immediately. Right? I could never do that.I have seen a movie and then seen it again the next day or day after.I think the maximum number of times I can watch a film, even one I really, really like is three times. Maybe a fourth if there's been more than three or four year's passage of time.
-
God their articles are always SOOO fucking long. Like they have interesting topics but then they just dribble on and on about nothing and boring shit.
-
which I've "seen" nearly thirty times, probably, I've only really WATCHED no more than twice.
-
But they aren't. They are worse then that crap the onion. At least the onions shit is usually short.
-
And I'm like.....why did I fucking buy you. DVDs in general are just more of a status thing then anything. Like a yeah I own that. I think the only dvds I buy now are Pixar. I haven't bought any this year, and haven't planned on buying any, buy my Wife will probably buy Up.
-
Like the first 20 minutes of Idiocracy are great, but after that I don't ever feel a need to keep watching.

diarrhea's latest, over at EMPIRE: So one day batmanster is driving around in his batrocket going breakneck speeds putting off going and visiting his gay son Robin at child and little shit services. Fuck it...battle man would almost rather get in a wreck than play the part of good father to his child. And all of the sudden he crashes right into a this giant truck in the middle of the street. Batmanster screams obscenitys and acts perturbed but on the inside hes doing high fives with himself over having an excuse for not fathering his child.
So theres this giant dumpster truck in the way and the battlepod bounces off without so much as a scratch and battleman jumps out of the car and starts asking what fucko is responsible for this travesty. Its only then that batster using all of his bat senses realizes the truck is devoid of a driver and there is a big sign on the door that reads: Special delivery for Batmanster.
Batster is curious because if he is anything besides suave lady raper and candy bar eater it is primo detective and hes just gotta see what this is about. Bats pulls down the note and gives it a once over with his keen eyes. There are instructions on the back of the note that say for battleman to pull the lever next to the truck door to get the special delivery to batmanster. Bats has a weakness for gratuities and figures the whole town of metroplo owes him bigtime anyway so this gift had beter be fucking awesome. He pulls the lever!
HOly yucko batmanster!!. Its a truckload of dildos and they pile in a heap all over THE one and only...our hero batster our BATMANSTER!.
Rage indescribable courses through Basters veins...hes been duped into an unfortunate incident involving dildos and someone will pay. He fucks open the batcell and screams himself hoarse at gordon to get the batcopter over here like NOW because he has a criminal to catch.
Its on now! -
You guys better not hurt my feeling, singular.
-
Fuck the batmanstercopter says bats to himself in a whisper of rage...ive got shiny rocketty bat boots...i will fly to and find this criminal now.... Gordsters copter hijinks be damned! So like that hes off and hovering over metropolo looking for the no good sandster or the fantom,...two of the more likely douchsters who may have sent bats the dildsters. Looking down on the town bats uses the testicles part of his brain and notices that flying above town on rocket boots is a real cleavage show....and now a conflict begins to brew in his batbrain. He could find old bad guy skeeming docsters sandster and fucking kill the guy or he could keep peeping tom from the skys on the veritable cleave show that was parading down the main street of metropoville.
Batsters balls being the size of tomatoes and sagging down mostly towards his knees generated enough testosterone for an entire league of superheroesters and the decision came easily. ONce on this path of thought batmanster got a perfectly wonderful idea! He scooped up the dildos and sprinlked them down over the cleavage festival below. It wasnt long before the entirety of the female occupants of metropoville were turned on by the hovering batster in a bad way.
Batmanster spent the rest of the day having consensual relations with most of metropoville. By the end of the day he was so knackered he didnt care who had sent him those dildos but was thankful for the tail they had given him.
The end. -
We gonna relocate or stay here?
-
Even though that's the lamest excuse for an article Harry has yet mustered.Also, since it's Harry's own - you think it might be more closely monitored?
-
Maybe we should wait for some actual plot/casting rumours.

We should vote on savage's motion to relocate.Anybody second?

its a trivial thread...lets do it...unless you think its...like adm. akbar said--ITS A TRAP!!

But me and Ted are going drinking in Austin this weekend and invite any pedalbacker who can to join us as we Backpedal into the Future of live party blogging...
-
though it will take awhile for the nolan douchsters to clear out...and can we really count thier posts?...do we have to wait until they are gone?
I do agree though that the tradition of following batmansters thread should continue....and a little faster refresh wouldnt hurt. -
i'm already on my way out...if it gets shut down...we pedal back here...
-
AYE, we relocate.Nay, we stay.Voting continues until I make the decision.savage, you needn't vote now, but vote often.

You're only 2 hours away...

refresh speed and batman relatability is deciding factor...oh, and the Spidey stink is killing me in here...

-
Yeah until I see a fucking poster with the next villain on it, I don't really give a damn. Plus it really doesn't matter, the next movie could be called The Cowl and the whole thing is just Bale and Cain sitting around working on making his mask and suit work better...and it would still make at least $200 million domestic/$400 world.

Good call guys. I like the atmosphere here. By the way, I still say Deadshot would work.

It was Subs idea to jump to the 1st Nolan-Bats-Oldman related talkback and now that it's here he's all, "Meh!"
-
Shit, Series7, I'd watch that movie. I'd even pay for it.
-
To be talking about the actual intended topic of the TB! Sure I'll get over it though.
-
Political shit here. First off whenever people talk politics they become doucheholes. Now add on the fact that everyone here is already a douche nozzle, its just a waterfall of douche juice.
-
Done properly, it is enigmatic, puzzling, mysterious, based on riddles, requiring and hunting down clues.
The Joker is the opposite: He's all about calling attention to himself.
You fight The Joker with your fists and your utilities. You fight The Riddler with your brains.
-
The very last line of the movie will be like this. A pull back shot away from the suit showing that Bruce and Alfred finally got the suit perfected then Alfred laying down a newspaper with a picture of the next new villain on the cover, he then turns to Batman and says: Now, lets take care of that. (queue music, roll credits, start the nerd talkback).
-
But I am a good 40% "meh."It'll be fine once Dalgo is banned and ccchhhrrriiisssmm shuts the fuck up. Right now, it just gives me a headache.
-
...is not going to have the lesbian relationship because the suits decided it would be too much for audiences to handle. When I say "lesbian relationship" I mean it's only hinted at and there's barely a kiss, if you can call it that. Those must be some holier-than-Christ audiences. The only interesting part of the comic was that relationship and the fact that Stetko, being butch, had image issues, an aspect that Kate Beckinsale destroys by default. Now the love interest is going to be some douchebag instead of a hot British spy. Fuck. That. May it burn in Hell. RANT OVER. YOU CAN LOOK NOW.

-
I always looked at each of the "main" Batman foes as challenging one of Batman's major traits or character.
Joker challenges Batman's ethics and belief systems; Riddler challenges Batman's intelligence and detective skill.
I mean, what is a riddle but a puzzle. And what is another type of puzzle? A clue.
HOWEVER, both seem to fall on the same side of the coin; being egotistical, psychotic criminals (Joker obviously more so than Riddler). Joker is crime as chaos and anarchy; Riddler is crime as vanity statement or signature.
Catwoman and Penguin are still crime as a pursuit for money and power. -
That fat lazy fat fuk! Now, I have no idea what to rent this week. I guess I'll have to re-watch the Hanna Montana Movie.

...is going to set up a death panel and kill us one by one if we're not Democrat and then he's going to take all of our money and our family's money and spend it on building concentration camps for people who are white and then he's going to make us pay for his health care and then he's going to rape our women and then go to war with Great Britain and take all of their money and legalize prostitution and set up a brothel in every US owned city in Britain and then he's going to legalize cocaine and abort every child born under a Christian household and the same goes for any household that isn't Muslim and he's going to take away our guns and hand them to terrorists and he's going to reveal himself to be the Antichrist and I heard that he's going to do all of this within one or two terms! Save us, Palin! We need a hero!

So, he may just portray the Riddler as a chaotic psychopath who uses riddles because he had a bad relationship with his father who was a riddle fascist who tormented his son with riddles he would have to solve before he would be allowed to play XBox.
-
Riddler really would never exist if there never was a Batman. I don't think he wants to get caught, but he does want to go up against Batman. He is an egotist who wants to be the man that outsmarted the world's greatest detective. Have everyone know his name (or at least his alter ego). He is like the Zodiac Killer or BTK KIller in that regards.
-
It worked post 9-11, Iraq invasion when our number one fear was al Queda, Zaqawi, anthrax letters and bombings in London, but since then our number one worry isn't a lone madmen or group of madmen plotting to kill hundreds for purely ideological reasons.
It is the fact that we are so desperate and scared that we will sell our very souls for security and comfort, and live in fear of guys in suits deciding what our lives are going to be like.
Which makes me think of a certain guy in a tuxedo... -
We do have to wait a while for the douchebags to clear out.
-
and if they play him like zodiac or even closer to insomnia...we got a great film...hate to say it, but this would NOW rest on the shoulders of Bale, who in the previous films, didnt "act" SHOWY enough for some people's taste...granted he was still trying to figure himself out and was brooding, which is why it upsets me when people say hes sucks.but in this scenario, he would have to exude more...which he is totally capable of.
-
and hates white people as much a George Bush hates black people. I never believed for one minute that Bush hated black people. He just doesn't give a shit about them, unless they're letting him him lap up their douche juices like Condi Rice and her grizzled gash.
-
I stepped, barefoot, on my friend's underwear in my bathroom. He had shit his pants.
-
let the peons have their scraps.the good stuff comes after midnight...
-
You'd think they'd've blown their whole wad with MARCH, but nooooooo. HAPPY FEET. Then those damn cartoon penguins from MADAGASCAR blow up.Penguins are this generations dinosaurs.
-
That's an asshole, literally and figuratively.
-
Riddler exists because Batman has the audacity to do what Nigma only dreamed about...
-
What does Batman do that Nigma can only dream about?
-
I wouldn't even put The Riddler in a question marked leotard or suit. It's enough that he uses Riddles with all his crimes and atrocities.
-
Did it slide out from under you and cause you to fall?'Cause, I know a good lawyer...
-
No one even asks. You're good people, the lot of ya.
-
To me he is the most believable of the Batman foes.
-
A figure discussed on the ni9ghtly news...Celebrity/noteriety...The essence of eternal fame...
-
Channel Nine spells it that way...
-
a decent fucking Scarecrow movie??!!?
-
And I agree. He is without a doubt a guy who wants to be famous. He is the Paris Hilton of the criminal world.
But instead of leaking a porn tape he wants to kill Batman. -
But, not nearly menacing enough for a full blown Holllywood blockbuster...
-
Nah, maybe I slid a little, but nothing major. Guy grew up to be a real lowlife tho. Fuckin' ass.
-
But I agree that Scarecrow was fucked up.
First off, John Hurt should have been cast as him. -
..with 3 Ls....

I'm leaking flabbergasting details on the new Batman film in rum
by garyoldman
-
when you answered me....Been on the Jemkem again?
-
is too cartoony. If he was a mobster who was nicknamed the Penguin for his penchant for wearing tuxedos then that wold be of. Also, he shouldn't have any kind of fetish for penguins either. It's just his nickname and that is it.
-
be back in a minute...
-
I'm starting to address myself
-
But so was the Joker after Cesar Romero, and even Jack Nicholson. Just do what they did with Joker and go back to his first two or three appearances, plus some of his better later stories. Don't feel beholden to all of his appearances or how he is depicted now.
-
for the next recap..gonna be a scorcher!
-
None of these magical cat powers. She started dressing like a BSD cat because her clients liked it and then she had some kind of mental breakdown like menopause or was raped by a congressman who was one of her clients.
-
But I'm starting to worry about ya, pally.
-
Please let me know.
Also please help me bury the bodies of any hookers or cheerleaders I might have in the trunk of my car. -
Oh boy oh boy, there's gonna be a 128 person Smash Tournament here on Friday. I guarantee I'll place in the top five. Anyone else here agree that it's the best video game ever made? The N64 version, I mean.
-
black eyed peas was noise warfare...just to annoy..not to enjoy! but it IS so damn catchy...i hate it!
-
Hey, I mean what's an actor for? Quick, but important question, are they hookers and cheerleaders or are they hooker-cheerleaders?
-
I may not be the best judge as far as sanity is concerREEDLEREEDLEREEDLEned.

Aug 25, 2009 8:36:42 PM CDT
Yeah, I don't know if having you help would be a good idea Ted
by continentalop
I don't think we would look to inconspicuous with the two of use burying dead hookers, strippers and girls in cheerleader outfits, with you dressed up as the Blue Beetle.
And Cheeses, I think he would pass out drunk before the girls got thrown into the holes.
-
Nolan, Bale, Ledger, and I played the Wii sequel often on the Knight set. I'm always Pikachu! rofl!
-
But you all probably guessed that already. In the tourney its no items which gives Link the advantage, as he has his bombs and his boomerang. Nobody is even gonna be able to fucking touch me. Except my roommate. He's very good and very competitive. I expect it'll come down to me and him. Seriously, I've prolly logged more hours on this game than hours I've slept. I could probably beat little Japanese kids.
-
I'm sure it isn't the first time he buried a dead woman.
-
Later, all. Subs, for your recap consideration: my "performance" in rumorback.
-
I'm in the minority that liked SSB over Melee, somehint about the more simplicity of it made it better.
-
I was impressed in the trek tb when he singlehandedly took on the entire talkback and then fuckign won it since everyone else got sick of it. impressive!
-
You're wrong about Cobblepot.A ridiculous name comes with the ridiculous little man. It adds to his Napoleonic complex.
"My family built this city! How dare you mck my name?"
"Oh, you don't want us making fun of Oswald, Ozzie? Well, then, I've got a name for ya. Penguin!"
"Ha! Cause he 's built like a penguin."
"Waddle, waddle, Ozzie!"
-
I'm in!

Raimi doesn't like Venom. He doesn't get Venom. He doesn't understand why people like him. Raimi didn't want Venom to be in any of the Spider-Man movies. But he was forced by the studio to include him. Which is why it feels like it was shoehorned in to the movie in the first place. Which is why it dragged out for like, what an extra 30 minutes. And that's why it ended the way it do it. So, Raimi could go "see you got your Venom and he sucked so let's move on." Not to say Venom was what was all wrong about that movie but forcing his storyline didn't help.
-
so we can hear you over at Node 42153.
-
Venom didn't work in SPIDER-MAN 3 because Raimi himself admitted he was not overly familiar with the character. Notice how honest he has been with the classic SM villains like the Green Goblin (except for that suit!!!), Doc Ock, and Sandman (even though they pulled a Joker and had him responsible for Uncle Ben's death). Put The Lizard and Kraven in SPIDER-MAN 4 and watch how well it will work.
Peter Stromaire for Kraven!!!! -
Columbia and Marvel should do a SPIDER-MAN BEGINS (just don't call it that). Perhaps the films could now be named after the numerous comics - THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN, WEB OF SPIDER-MAN.
-
Damnit.

Herc has had some sort of breakdown on the Entertainment Weekly
by odo19
Spread the word.
-
A professional filmmaker like Raimii who doesn't "Get" the character. Wow is he a drooling mouth breather who also needs to be on a leash by his mom when he walks? He may not like it but anyone can understand the appeal of characters. Is he REALLY that retarded? Venom is like the anti-Spiderman. Anything anti is cool. There that was so fuckign easy hope Raimi was reading this.

Rumors about Joshua Swaney begin to swirl. BATMANSTER arrives @ 19:28. BATMANSTER in a dildo death trap. News Report: Bale kills some bank-robbers and some South African miners.

Bale was in THE DARK KNIGHT with Eric Roberts. Eric Roberts was in THE CHAOS EXPERIMENT with Val Kilmer. THE CHAOS EXPERIMENT will be the next live blog @ AIBN. Mention Shay Laren to Mike Bale, and he can't control himself. Kathryn Bigelow (THE HURT LOCKER) would be a good choice to direct a James Bond film. Hobocode, again @ 21:15. This dude's a cunt. Hoff turned down a role in Bond because they wouldn't let him sing the theme. Don't they know he sang The Berlin Wall to rubble? “7 Degrees of Bale” Round Three: Bale to chick with giant norks from CURSE OF THE KOMODO in 4. bale was in TDK with Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman was in BRUCE ALMIGHTY with Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston was in an episode of FRIENDS with Paul Logan.

Cobra- - Kai turns the lights off @ 22:48.The Return of the Two-Headed Beast. Backpedalers return to AICN to find a new Nolanverse thread @ 42153. BATMANSTER sticks his flag in it @ 3:01:39 P.M. It isn't about IMAX. It's about story. The talk turns to villains. Deja Vu? Supercowbell LOVES the Arkham Asylum game. Cobra wants Angelina Jolie for Catwoman. 'Lop wants The Penguin. Does that sound gay? “Orson Welles' Batman” A near-legendary mash up of old movie and serial clips into a seamless 7-minute “trailer”-type fan film. Find it on YouTube. “Surprise sex,” exactly like rape, only sounds gentler. Rachel Weisz as Catwoman @ http://tinyurl.com/d3dm54. Meow! 14K, by the way. Dalgo should be banned. The Riddler's modus operandi is actually the opposite of The Joker's. Ask me if you're a noob, and you don't know. moose portrays GaryOldman but loses his sandwich for his efforts. toadkillerdog is spotted licking sandwich crumbs off his maw. Balemax will be a game-changer. 'Lop doesn't like the name “Oswald Cobblepot.” He thinks it's silly. I try to convince 'Lop that The Penguin is silly. I fail. The Nolans are about to crash headlong into The Dead End of Moral Ambiguity. Numbers9997 is still pimpin' Firefly. Somebody types “Knightfall.” How their head can take their fingers seriously, I do not know. lockesbrokenleg wants Superman and Smell-O-Vision. The Thinker obliges with a World's Finest script proposal. Judder and Blur. IMAX flaws or the next great comedy duo? Ted Kennedy is fucking dead. Something wrong with Herc. Cheeses is nice to the noobs. 'Lop stayed up really late. LaserPants is surprised there will be a Batman 3. The stunt-casting continues all-night long. Included, 70s sit-com stars, 1949, and The 70s.
Meanwhile, @ 42071...I worry that we've been there / done that. Maybe we should wait awhile before we re-locate permanently. Some vets pedalback to avoid right-wing rhetoric. 'Lop begins typing answers to himself regarding questions he's asked of others. Fearing he's losing it, he asks us to make sure no one finds the dead hooker-cheerleaders he has stashed in his trunk, should anything happen to him. Of course we will. That's what we do. We watch out for each other. Teddy admits to stepping into some shit. No one wants to embarrass him, so no details are sought. The talk turns to Spider-man and Raimi's dislike for Venom. And re-location is official. But, where is the BATMANSTER? He's at home, a-washing his tights! Hubba. Hubba. -
It is too soon, you cannot do ANOTHER origin story so soon after the first movie. The series has to be dormant for at least 7-10 years before you decide to reboot it. They have writers for the next, what, 3 movies? There may be some recasting, but a reboot is NOT happening anytime in the foreseeable future, so give up hoping for it. So Raimi dropped the ball with SM3 (which I don't hate as much as most people seem to, yes it was the weakest of the 3, but not as terrible as it is made out to be, at least IMO), so what, 2 out of the 3 he made were good solid films, so he messed up the third one and he should get the boot? No, if #4 sucks, then maybe it's time for a new director, but not after one misstep.

Subtitles_Off, do you have an issue with Orcus? Seer of past, present and around bendy corners? He who can bring the herds of CoC and Aqua@faggots with but a clarion call? Or were you just waiting for Orcus to show up?

No, wait. Been here
