This is really great news. I've been waiting to see this film for sometime now, and on frequent occasions MGM has given this film dubious release dates, but I think a Christmas release date is perfect for this type of film. Hopefully it won't suck now, cause it's an awesome story.

CHECK THIS OUT ... MORE CHRISTMAS DECONSTRUCTION
by BringingSexyBack
Aug 13th, 2008
10:56:59 PM
At Christmas time, the world sings praises to decorated pine trees. Few people realize that tree worship began in ancient heathen Babylon. Jeremiah 10:2 reads, "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold..." The whole concept of decorating a tree at Christmas time is pagan in origin, not taught in the Word of God. Christmas is not taught in the Bible. In fact, God doesn't even tell us the date when Jesus was born. It's not an issue with God. The important message is that God sent His Son into the world to save sinners. The main message that we should recognize is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

by codymr
Aug 14th, 2008
03:08:40 AM
with a great supporting cast... even with cuckoo Cruise - love him or hate him you have to admit that the man can do smoldering intensity. Cruise looks somewhat like the real guy to too (PhotoShopped picture or not). As for Singer, I think he is a solid director; The Usual Suspects and X Men 2 are stand outs in my mind. Even Superman Returns was well handled. And before everyone gets on my butt about this, let me explain: Singer had a very difficult job because he had to satisfy at least two distinct groups. There are the cinema fans of Donner's 78 classic and then there are comic book fans who understand the modern material that has progressed and the mythology rewritten at least twice since 78. What we got is a compromise... a film that was good (77% on Rotten Tomatoes) but not great because it tried to serve two masters. My hope is that now that SR serves as the link to the original franchise, the Man of Steel will give Singer the chance to update the story and make it new and fresh and use the mountains of comic book material that has been created since the late 70's. That's if The Man of Steel ever gets off the ground. Anyway, looking forward to a good WW2 thriller... I hope Valkyrie surprises people.

Cool post. Undobtedly much of my dislike for Superman Returns stems from the fact that the original Superman was one of my formative cinema experiences and many elements of it, Chris Reeve, Hackman, Brando, Glenn Ford, the beautiful opening 40 minutes, Unsworth's photography, Williams music and the loving, epic treatment of the myth, have stayed with me over the years. SR is a well made film, in that it is competently designed and shot. The script, however, is appalling. The structure is all over the place, there's not one memorable line of dialogue. With a bad storyline and script there's nowhere for the film to go. The leads are bland (particularly Bosworth) and the relationships unbelievable. Spacey's Luthor is a pale imitation of Hackman's. Singer's action sequences are poor, he doesn't have the chops to pull off exciting action sequences. I could go on, but won't (the superkid). I agree that a Burton film would have been worse as his sensibilities seem to be diametrically opposed to what Superman is all about. In the end Superman Returns is a bad film and if I say its one of the worst films ever made it's probably a reflection of how much I was looking forward to the film and how badly I was let down.

I Like Singer And I Hope Valkyrie Does Well
by TroutMaskReplicant
Aug 14th, 2008
05:52:45 AM
Although given it's subject matter, the best they could hope for is to break even. But I hope Singer has realised his strengths and weaknesses. He's really quite an old fashioned director and I don't think he has the love for cgi that would be required to truly represent the scale of Superman's powers. Not just lifting and moving fast, but actually making enjoyable story points out of what can only be shown with computer graphics. Superman needs a director who loves visual effects laden stories and delights in the cgi rather than seeing it as another thing to worry about.

And fuck all of you that have forgotten that Singer is DIRECTLY responsible for the new wave of excellent comic book adaptations. Seriously, every director that has decided to take the characters seriously and every producer who allowed the source material to have some dignity were reading the X-men (2000) playbook. And before The Dark Knight, X2 was the greatest comic book movie of the last twenty years(although I won't argue if you say that it's Spider-Man 2). Without Singer's version of X-Men there would have been no Spider-Man, no Batman Begins or TDK, and no Iron Man. And yes, SR was a piece of shit, but a) 1 bad film after four stellar ones, including one of the best crime thrillers of the 90s, ain't bad and b) who fucking cares, Superman is boring anyway and no one will ever outdo the 78 version. And to those complaining of the gay subtext: get over yourselves. Persecution and victimization are INTEGRAL to the themes of X-Men. Yeah, it was excessive in SR, but compare Singer's level of gay to Shumacher's.

Wasn't Titanic rumored to be a train wreck because of delayed release dates and/or re-shooting or whatever? Valkyrie could be a good historical based thriller. If it's anything like those Alistair MacClean thrillers I loved from the sixties, it could be cool. And those who can't seperate Cruise's personal life and beliefs, or Bryan Singer sexual persuasion, from their films, need to relax.

I wonder if it's the same song they used in the old English tv series 'Dad's Army'? It has the lyrics 'Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler? If you think old England's done' as sung by Bud Flannagan.

It wasn't X-Men in 2000 that laid the ground work for the new waive of Comic Book movies that took their subjects seriously. It was Blade in the late 90's. The success of that film is what laid the groundwork for X-Men to finally be made. Look it up.

I mean, Valkyrie ! Woo Hoo! Tom might get an Oscar! Wow! Ok, for real though, Singer should be pretty steamed at himself for that debacle of Superman movie he produced

Ruined the X-Men Trilogy by ditching it, and then ruined the Superman film by making it his own personal "I have a crush on Superman" Story. Sad sad sad.

I mean, Superman deserves way better than he got with "Returns". Is Ridley Scott too busy?

I think Tom Cruise is gonna recieve a heep of good will for the Tropic Thunder performance, which is what the studio was hoping for before releasing VALKYRIE. Now the film can stand on it's own without the Tom Cruise ick factor, which has been following him through his last few film's. For me I can't wait to see this! Personal life aside the guy has made some great films & is good at what he does, & the trailer looks good. Good vibrations on this one messa thinks.

Saw Hellboy II this past weekend - no no i saw it on opening night but family members had not and because its a large family, they like to wait for movies to hit the $4.00 theater - you know, the one with the chairs whose vinyl is patched with black tape and the floor is generally as flat as an ice rink.

anyway some fat assed farmer two rows ahead gets a cell phone call and proceeds to chat in a normal "im alone in a room" voice for 5 minutes. Someone two rows further up turns around and shines a huge lantern flashlight directly into his face. The fat farmer guy says, "gotta go some jackass is shining a flashlight in my face." and when he hung up, dude with the flashlight turned it back off and turned around.

might have been my favorite moviegoing experience ever. So here's my advice: going to a movie? pack a little hi-power flashlight.

I had a comic book when I was younger
by ArcadianDS
Aug 14th, 2008
12:27:59 PM
mid 80s or early 90s. It was an 'oversized' comic book almost as big as an unfolded newspaper. And while it had recurring stories, each issue seemed to have random stories in them. I remember one being about a time travelling assassin from the future where the world is dominated by Nazis and their flying robotic metal blimps. The story is told almost entirely via text boxes where the main character is telling us what is going on in a 3rd person monologue voice-over. It talks about having to go back in time to set things back to the right way - to stop someone from enabling Nazi Germany from winning WW2. In the final panes, the main character's sniper scope zooms in to Hitler making a public speech and you think, "aha she's gonna assassinate Hitler and stop Germany cold." but then the scope pans up and zeroes in on ANOTHER TIME TRAVELLING ASSASSIN who is there to shoot Hitler. And she shoots and kills him. In the epilogue, it says something to the effect of, "a living monster is less of a danger than a dead martyr." and then she blinks back out of the timeline.

It was a very very well paced and well done comic story where, despite the predictability of the synopsis, as a reader you don't really see the M.Night twist coming - my point? I'd rather watch that movie instead.

That sounds most interesting ArcadianDS

Fine film. When Emma Thompson started to be freaked out by the random appearance of scissors my friend and I started to think of all the absurd ways the filmmakers could include scissors in every scene. The game finally ended when I suggested they have Kenneth Brannagh drive up in a car with scissors with wheels and bluntly state to Thompson about the car: "practical: no, but stylish: yes."

In other words, he represents *true democracy* and not government by and for the Satanic elite:

Defiant Clinton Women Refuse To Support Obama

High-Class Hillraisers Still Irate About Barack: ‘She Will Be Nominee’

by Jason Horowitz | August 12, 2008 | Tags: PoliticsBarack ObamaHillary ClintonLynn Forester de Rothschild

This article was published in the August 18, 2008, edition of The New York Observer.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild doesn’t look like a radical.

Surrounded by bike paths, ponds and the Atlantic Ocean in her Martha’s Vineyard farmhouse, not far from where Bill and Hillary Clinton usually summer, the lifelong Democrat and Clinton fund-raiser opened a laptop to her “Together4Us” Web site, an online petition that features Hillary Clinton looking luminous above a series of demands made of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.

Ms. de Rothschild, 54, dressed in matching blue pants and sweater, blond hair tucked behind her ears, said she plans to send copies of the more than 6,000 signatures she has collected to superdelegates, Mr. Obama, his top officials, Howard Dean and officials at the Democratic National Committee, on Aug. 18—the Monday before the Democratic convention.

And she’ll be there, at the convention, to help press those demands, she said, especially including a dramatic overhaul of the nominating process by which Mr. Obama won the primary. She said she was well aware of Mrs. Clinton’s efforts to get Mr. Obama elected, as well as the efforts of the Obama campaign staffers, whom she said she liked, to appease Mrs. Clinton’s supporters. Despite it all, Ms. de Rothschild does not plan to vote for him.

“I think it’s difficult for him to fix it because of the judgments he’s made in the past and his lack of experience,” she said, adding that there was really nothing Mrs. Clinton could do about it. “If we are dissatisfied with Obama as a potential president, Hillary cannot be expected to change our minds.”

I wonder if all the hype surrounding this film will help. I mean, sure, the more we talk about it, the more curiousity will set in and raise the ticket sales. But the expectation for this thing not to be a complete turd will be enormous. Risky move for Tom Cruise, who has one foot in the industry grave since the Oprah mess. If this bombs, kiss Tommy C goodbye. He'll end up starring in his own autobiography on HBO

You can honestly say with a straight face that SR is worse than the Pryorific part III or the Nuclear Mantastic part IV? The series may never top Donner's original or even the mixed bag that was Part II (Donner's stuff was great/Lester's not so much), but SR is not even the worst Superman movie, never mind the worst film ever made.
