Fantastic Four get sodomised... by of all things... Hulk Hogan!! by KID AB	May 23rd, 2003 08:01:33 AM
'Claire Danes for the invisible woman, Brother.'
FF by Karl Childers	May 23rd, 2003 08:24:17 AM
That's going to be the toughest of all comic-book flicks to properly pull off! Hopefully, they'll go with an all CGI Thing and Human Torch but take some notes from WETA (Gollum) and not ILM's "The Hulk"!
Mr. Beaks is the sexxxiest tomboy beanpole on the planet by EntryNmbrV	May 23rd, 2003 08:36:14 AM

"Fantastic Four" will succeed only with Werewolves and Vampires! by Josef K	May 23rd, 2003 09:15:05 AM
Mr. Fantastic can stretch his fangs around the corner and bite Johnny's hairy ass!

...oh right, you've not actually seen Hulk, have you?
You're Right About Me Not Seeing The Hulk.. by Karl Childers	May 23rd, 2003 09:27:29 AM
It must've been a trailer for Shrek 2: Lost in San Francisco instead.
How real could a 12 ft Green guy look? by Josef K	May 23rd, 2003 09:36:43 AM

Stick to the subject ya damn tools!!! by Nice Marmot	May 23rd, 2003 10:20:45 AM
I was really hoping for the retro Fantasitc Four; what can you do? I agree that this will be a tough comic film to pull off. Can't wait to see how creative they get w/ Reed's stretchin'. By the way, The Hulk will rule. Sorry to stray from the subject y'all!
Ian Roberts? by rev_skarekroe	May 23rd, 2003 10:22:30 AM
Isn't he the big bald guy from MTV2? Terrible choice. sk
No retro? Sigh... by Silvio Dante	May 23rd, 2003 10:37:05 AM

Simon Baker as Reed Richards by riskebiz	May 23rd, 2003 10:47:17 AM
That Simon Baker from "The Guardian" looks eerily like Russell Johnson (Professor from Gilligan's Island) ... and even Alex Ross gave Reed a Russell Johnson look in his MARVELS comic. I think Simon Baker would do well as Reed Richards. Forget Clooney ... go for the Russell Johnson lookalike.
Ian Roberts is from Upright Citizens Brigade NOT MTV2 by Kynna	May 23rd, 2003 11:01:19 AM
Yech! Wipe that mix-up from your mind right now! UCB was on Comedy Central a few years ago. Don't know what he/they are doing these days.

who cares? by donrickles	May 23rd, 2003 11:17:00 AM
Every time I come to this website, all there is to read about is speculation involving upcoming comic book movies. Granted, other types of films are sometimes reviewed or discussed, but c'mon...COMIC books?! What are we, thirteen? I am not going to see any damned movie about The Hulk, or Fantastic Four, or X-Men, or any other comic property. Those things are for people in their EARLY teens! Hey I loved Batman, too... when I was twelve. AICN is devolving into a really creepy site. Grown men obsessing over comic books and kung fu movies... what?? This is not a filmlovers' website, it's a freakshow. Please, stop with the comics. Or at least stop discussing them like they matter or something. They're for kids. I dont care how dark some comics are...they're for more advanced kids, then... not for adults. And the reviews written by Harry Knowles are so embarrassingly amateurish, so "hacky", that I refuse to read them anymore.
Lets get this straight... by earthworm	May 23rd, 2003 11:23:45 AM
...you don't like "comic book" films, or genre films as a whole seemingly, you think this site is "developing" into one full of fanboys, and you don't read the reviews either? This sort of begs the question WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE, ON A FANTASTIC FOUR TALKBACK OF ALL FUCKING PLACES.
Tim Robbins and Cate Blanchett by schnipple	May 23rd, 2003 11:55:32 AM
as the Richards would take FF to another level. Whatever they do they better not cast that big black guy who played Kingpin in Daredevil as Ben. I've never seen him in a movie, so I don't know if he can act but that blonde guy in F&F looks like the Torch.
Mr. Beaks with Peyton Reed...Mr. Beaks with Jennifer Lopez...Mr. by film_editor17	May 23rd, 2003 12:38:06 PM
Christ, that man is everywhere. Oh, look! There he is outside my window!
I would let Amy Poehler give me a blowjob.... by Fart_Master_Flex	May 23rd, 2003 01:05:24 PM
I think that would be fun.
Just look at Down with Love as a fun movie, but look at the matr by Rcamacho2278	May 23rd, 2003 01:19:51 PM
Fuken Hipocrisy my GOD!!!!
This sounds awesome! by Egg McWeeny	May 23rd, 2003 01:59:40 PM
I always wanted to see the Fantastic Four reimagined as Gay Superheroes for the Millenium! In Reed's oh-so-capable hands we will at last be treated to the thrilling and homoerotic adventures of Marvel's royal family. The "Hard Day's Night" idea sounds so damn ZANY I almost popped a nugget from laughing! Why, who wouldn't chuckle at Ben Grimm hiding in a phone booth with a fake beard as gaggles of bobby soxers chase him and Johnny Storm down the street? Ho ho! Such whimsy! Perhaps we could be treated to a scene with Mr. Fantastic stretching his arm down the street to pinch a young sailor's bum! Cheeky devil! Well, whatever the case may be, I look forward to the merry panty-clad escapades of these fey superheroes! Thank you, Peyton...thank you.
Some of you fools really need to get a life... by Karl Childers	May 23rd, 2003 02:15:47 PM
Not everyone, the ones who really know who they are still living in their parent's houses defending cartoons.
What's wrong with freakshows? by GypsyTRobot	May 23rd, 2003 02:19:03 PM

pathetic by eau hellz gnaw	May 23rd, 2003 02:47:54 PM
it has gotten to the point where if one of the dozens of directors attached to some lame superhero movie is seen dining with an actor, said actor is rumored to be in talks for the lead. THAT counts as news to you losers. You have daily set reports about Spiderman 2: "Kirsten Dunst bent over a little bit and you could kinda see some cleavage!!!!" You fuckin geeks refer to the prospects of seeing your favorite comic books turned into movies in terms of sex (or masturbation, the only sex you will ever know): "I will cream my pants if Aranofsjy makes Batman: Year One!" Like I said, pathetic.
Jason Patric as Reed Richards, Bruce Willis as The Thing, Laura by stlfilmwire	May 23rd, 2003 04:39:54 PM
That's my casting decision. Oh well. I think Michael Chiklis looks the most like The Thing, but face it... The Thing is going to have to be cgi anyway. You know hollywood aint going to have the thing be a makeup job. Sad, but true. Plus Bruce Willis is a name that America knows. Chiklis is still buried on cable. Don't cast Sue to be just some hot broad. Save all the hot women for all the girls Johnny hooks up with.
job? by CharlesnJay	May 23rd, 2003 06:13:43 PM
Grimloch? You post while you work? Your job is to post on this website? How much does it pay?

grimloch, you sterile hirsute half-wit, don't post here unless i say so.
Ohhh... really? by DeLaNooCh	May 23rd, 2003 08:29:31 PM
Yeah, I'm a comic book freak. I'm on comics sinces I was 3 yrs old, and I owe them A LOT. I learn how to read on portuguese with them at first place, and when I was older, english. My english is not perfect, I know, but I bet that the portuguese of you guys isnt that good too. This is my first post in years that I read the news from aint-it-cool-news and this really upper dupper talkbacks. Like I said before, I'm a comic book freak. I read comics a lot, in a most intense way when I had 14 yrs until the early 19 yrs old. But I still readin' and really enjoyin it. I was on the theaters when the first Batman came out. And I was in theathers when X-Men and Spider-Man came too. What can I say? I LOVE COMICS. I'm not talkin' bout the patriotic US type of comics, I'm talkin' bout comics that in a kind of way became part of me. Uncle Ben was my secret uncle, Xavier was my secret professor... so all you comics lover can call me a FREAK with Caps ON. This characters do have souls, this comics do have life, 'cause what makes them unique is the way is that way that you feel about them when do you really like them. Now came on my head the words of the Oracle in Matrix... when you're in love, you just know that, you just feel that. Nobody can tell you that. Who loves comics know what I'm talkin' about. So, sayin that, I can say that I'm a comic book and movies lover. And well, let me count, I'm with 22 yrs old, and I cant answer 'bout everyone that is into comics, but I do have a life. And a really good one. I don't have a girl friend, and I dont think that have one means that you have a life. I dont have not 'cause I cant, but 'cause I dont want to. I have girl friends. A LOT. And friends too. It's really fuckin AMAZING (amazing in the level of what "The Amazing Spider-Man" amazing will be) to share with a girl or a friend what do you like on your childhood, share with them things that made part of what you are now. Comic books are for childs? It is. For the child that are inside of me, for the little freaky mutant that sometimes overcome the guy that's writin' now. And I dont care if someone dont understand that. Its a big wide world. There's more things that I have to care about then some haters for childish movies. Yeah, I am a comic book freak and I do have an inner freaky child inside of me that get amazed when see the characters that are part of him poppin' up on the screen. Geez. Spidey web-slingerin' around. That was perfect. Hulk smashin' San Francisco? WOW. Wolvie goin' adamantium rage? I love all that. I dont care 'bout Gollum and WETA bullshit. I dont care bout how much realistic that are or dont are. I do care about the story, if makes my eyes shine, if makes me cry. Yeah, I do cried in comic book movies. Whatta freaky, heh? I don't need your support for that, I PAY to see that movies, with the money from MY job. If some of you guys dont like it, sorry for you guys. If you don't like it of Spider-Man, its not my problem. If you dont like it X-Men 1 or 2... its not my problem. And finally, if you dont like it DareDevil, or Affleck... it's not my problem. You see... I have a tendency to stick to minorities. I LOVED DareDevil. And Affleck's DareDevil/Murdock. And Garner's Elektra. And Collin's Bullseye. And Dunkan's Kingpin. I love it the way how the DareDevil powers was pulled off to screen. What can I say... I love that movie. I see all this BULLSHIT about HULK. I dont see it the film. But for me until now HULK is a very real character. 'Cause Hulk is not made only by CG. There's love for the character in this work... and I feel that. So I'm really excited about this movie, and I'll be at the theaters, again, with that freaky little mutant inside of me. Now go on and call me freak, tell me something about me that I do not know, call me a child or whatever, all you comic haters. You just don't get it. And for you guys from the talkbacks... I like you guys, its very funny, I laugh a lot already for things that you guys write it down here. And, don't NEVER be ASHAMED from who YOU ARE. And dont deny the child inside... we are children? Ok. We can live with that. Well... NUFF' SAID!!!!!!!
I miss the old trolls by MrPeanut	May 23rd, 2003 08:33:34 PM
At least they were creative. Now all we get is some delusional bastard who tries to impress us with stories about his imaginary girlfriend and her imaginary "nine-year-old son". My ass. Talk about the movies, but keep your personal information to yourself; nobody believes a word of it anyway.

Why doesn't anybody ask him about BACK TO THE FUTURE!?!? by DocBosch	May 23rd, 2003 10:12:23 PM
He was invlovd in The Secrets Of The Back To The Future Trilogy (writer, director), Back To The Future...The Ride (editor), and Back To The Future: The Animated Series (director). Whats the deal with that????

Okay...drama's starting to sound good by CharlesnJay	May 23rd, 2003 11:10:16 PM
DrShock, what's a classy doc like you doing in a place like this? That brought back some memories of the good old "character first" philosophy days. Sadly, it seems to me as if the audiences of today are too jaded -- or at least too concerned about appearing jaded -- to take that kind of depth seriously. Work in a few trench coats and sunglasses and some snazzy FX, and people don't seem to care how bad the acting is or how clunkily the plot develops.

Have you watched Avi Arad: The Rise of Evil? by chien_sale	May 24th, 2003 02:49:13 AM
The guy gives us Affleck as DD, a sissy boy and John "Batttlefield Earth" Travolta for Punisher and Peyton Reed for Fantastic Four. There`s a place in Hell for stupid people like that.
Down with Love was great, bring on Fantastic Four by scudworth	May 24th, 2003 04:10:12 AM

When will people stop bitching about the Hulk, What the fuck else are you going to use to bring the the Jolly green giant to life? ......Stop Motion? Ewen Mcgregor seriously needs to be the new James Bond.......he'd outswing 007 and Austin Powers anyday

Whitesploitation Movies by ChrisPC24	May 24th, 2003 02:24:02 PM
Yeah, we need a remake of Smokey and The Bandit, or Convoy. Hell, I'd go see a remake of Every Which Way But Loose! Blaxploitation films are alive and well, but the closest thing right now to whitesploitation is Jackass!
If You're Going to Start Remaking Renyold's B-Films, Try "Sharky by Van Damned	May 24th, 2003 09:31:00 PM
I can just see Michael Duncan Clark in the Bernie Casey role. It's got everything: high-class wimmens doing thier high-class hooka thang, lots of boom-boom (I mean gunplay, pervert), Filipino asassians and police-sanctioned voyerism. And you have to love a film with the sentence "don't try to talk like a nigger; you sound stupid". Priceless...

Agent X: Come join Grimloch and I in the real world by CharlesnJay	May 25th, 2003 12:23:05 PM
Come join I in getting a fourth-grade English textbook.
what the hell happened to this chick? by NANDO_X	May 25th, 2003 03:40:58 PM
AGENT X and Grimloch (like the transformer cartoon right?) seem to be hostile. by chicks i'm wondering if they mean thier sisters or their moms. by nine year old sons, do they mean the son of a girl they read about while "working" online??? i do fear this movie, but i also feared for x-men, spider-man, etc. does ROAD TO PERDITION count as a stupid little kids movie based on a comic? horror slasher films for virgin kids? rob zombie is a little older than a teen and i'm pretty sure he's not a virgin. i've been to san diego con a few years and i've seen some normal not fat guys w/ chicks and kids. however, i've never seen a big asshole who beats up nerds w/ a kid. i see them on cops getting arrested for trying to pick up an undercover hooker. see you on fox grimloch!
Grimloch is a nerd fag who plays with his OWN feces by Aquafresh	May 25th, 2003 08:45:04 PM
See Grimloch? I can be just like you. Whats the matter? Not getting laid by your "girlfriend" this weekend? And whats all this "owning" bullshit? Why don't you send me another email saying you own me. How gay is that? Do you "own" a lot of men, or just your "girlfriends" 9 year old son? Get a life, loser.
four out of five Dr. Ninjamen agree by CharlesnJay	May 25th, 2003 09:36:47 PM
that e-mailing is significantly more difficult than posting on the talkback and may cause low birth weight.
Ninjaman by Aquafresh	May 25th, 2003 11:11:17 PM
Amen brother.
ebonic plague is right! by NANDO_X	May 26th, 2003 01:55:44 AM
wow. i didn't get the email but i pretended to threaten some kittens, and some middleschool girls were impressed and said i was tough. man, in my years on life i've never gotten so much from grimloch's "girlfriend" or her nine year old son (it turns out he was her brother). man, i should have done this sooner. all kidding aside, comics are not cartoons on paper. they are literature with graphics. i've read stories that have made me cry, laugh, or illuminate me more than any movie ever has. i don't use it to pick up chicks but i see reading comics as much more fruitful than sending threatening emails to people i don't know. i also find it cool to see illustrations come to life on the big screen. so far, blade is the best adaptation so far but i find people that like batman or matrix over spider-man or x-men to be really closed minded or just plain into the hollywood brukhiemer thing. darran arnofsky doing batman almost would make me jizz to be honest b/c requiem for a dream and pi are two of the best movies ever made. to see him tackle one of my favorite dc characters would at least be interesting. tim burton's batman was just a farce to me. thank you for reading this.
