It seems to me like the only way to really hate McG a this point (as opposed to just not be into him) is to not really get it. Or at least to over react ridiculously. The guy has made exactly two movies, and one is a sequel to the other. That's all we have to judge on. Both have a distinctive style, tone and sense of humor that so far can be considered the McG style. The only movie that feels at all like those ones is Torque, which is obviously inspired by them.

The C's A's pictures can definitely be criticized on several levels: emotional content, intellectual stimulation, adherance to laws of physical reality. In other words, the sorts of things that only a humorless douchebag who doesn't know how to watch movies would think were relevant to these.

You guys are my buds so I am not calling any of you humorless douchebags. I'm talking about those OTHER guys who also don't get C's A's. For some reason they see the very deliberate tone of the movies (gratuitous dance sequences, logic defying mid-air motocross shootouts, Spiderman underoos - what McG calls "a pop a wheelie movie") and think it was done on accident. Like McG could somehow have been trying to make some other movie than exactly what these movies are.

I don't know what will become of McG, but I'm positive those movies will be appreciated on some minor level for many years. I mean come on, you got these horse shit "comedies" coming out every couple weeks (think red letters on white background for logo) from the annual bad Christmas comedy to the bi-monthly spoof movies with "Movie" in the title to the latest Owen Wilson Cashing In Adventure, and everything in between. This guy makes two stylistically ambitious, completely unique and adorably ridiculous action comedies over several years and you act like he skinned your mother alive and jacked off onto all the old photos of her when she had her skin.

There is only one explanation: you guys really still hate him for the Superman movie that you imagined he was gonna make even though he didn't make it. How can you hold a guy responsible for directing a hypothetical movie? If anyone is responsible it is YOU for imagining whatever it was that you imagined that offended you so much. YOU are the one who hates Superman.

In my years on the internet I have encountered many fanatics, but it seems like Superman zealots are a special brand. Most of you guys didn't even know who Brett Ratner was until you got mad at him for his own hypothetical direction of BRETT RATNER'S IMAGINARY SUPERMAN. You nearly beheaded J.J. Abrams (creator of FELICITY) and tried to get a constitutional amendment against Brian Singer getting married.

Why would ANYBODY want to touch Superman at this point? Only you guys really understand the exact Superman movie that you guys want. I think it's time that the professionals stop making Superman stories for you guys and you should make your own. It should probaly be illegal to show a Superman movie to anybody but yourself. A man's Superman movie is between a man and Superman.

Anyway my point is where the fuck is McG's HOT WHEELS?

Doctor Sin: you're missing out dude. I live in a world where I can enjoy Heroic Trio AND C's A's. Throw in both sequels and that's FOUR movies I can enjoy. You only get one (or two if you like The Executioners). That's half as much at best. Sucker.

Heroic Trio is a good reference point but I don't think C's A's is really the same thing. The action is similar but the tone is less serious and designed as a big tribute to all possible aspects of American popular culture.

Good motorbikes in both, though.
