RutgersJetFan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 No offense taken, D. I was never a big Superman guy to begin with. More or less, Snyder and Goyer blended three Superman books (All-Star, Birthright, and Earth One), in all three of those (one of which became canon) Clark's a pretty confused dude. Why wouldn't he be? Do you honestly think that a teenager who finds out that he was shot out of a rocket by his original parents and now has godlike powers is just going to be totally cool and carry on with his day? "Oh cool. Thanks dad. Didn't know about the whole responsibility for the entire planet thing. Thanks for the heads up. What's for dinner?"

SenorGato Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You thought John Carter and The League of Extraordinary Gentleman were good. I don't think you're in much of a position to be waxing poetic on the history of the genre. Being an astronaut was something she kinda wandered into after her kid died.

rillo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My heart can't take Venom being screwed up twice in one lifetime. Terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Terrible. Odds that he uses Flash instead of Eddie Brock, 1/1. If they can manage to get the Venom storyline right, it'd be pretty awesome to see Carnage on the big screen.

The Crusher Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Did the British like them? League of Extraordinary Gentleman is constantly on BBCA and I think I've seen John Carter there as well. Those are both those kind of movies I watch and remember nothing about them. Sometimes I almost watch those crap movies twice because it takes me half way through it the second time to remember I already watched it. Wanna a good space movie? "The watch" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Prisoners is a fun, light-hearted, and engaging romp through modern day American suburbia. I'm just kidding. It's intense and very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I have a theory that Gyllenhaal is actually a serial killer. This explains why Zodiac and this movie are so well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieny Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Cmon Tom.. no way you have seen most of the woody allen movies over the past 20 yrs..Vicky Cristina Barcalona was terrific and really wasnt his usual storyline..

RutgersJetFan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Anyone remember the Dave Schultz murder? Mark Schultz wrote a book about it and the dude who made Moneyball and Capote converted it to a movie. Looks interesting, at the very least we'll finally get some details on one of the most bizarre murders of the past couple decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah - Batman Begins really doesn't deserve to be in The Dark Knight's shadow. I forgot how awesome this movie is, and it holds up almost a decade later extremely well. Neeson was awesome.

Neeson was awesome. as a child of the 70's who watched reeve's superman in black and white and west's batman everyday, this dark knight stuff is just so weird to me. I never read the comics and I just can't connect to it. batman begins was just weird. the cult was unintentionally funny to me with that said, ledgers joker was so superb (duh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never read the comics and I just can't connect to it. That's actually right about the time that the comic started distancing itself from the campy serial version of the character. Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams took over the crux of the duties between Detective Comics and Batman and the rest was history. People like to credit the darker turn of the character to Frank Miller, but the truth of the matter is that it began about 16 years earlier with this issue of Batman in 1970. I'm a bit biased because I'm a bit of a Neal Adams groupie, but IMO this is the greatest Batman cover of all time.

Adams drew it as an homage to one of Bob Kane's earliest covers. I know the Internet has been having a lot of fun with the Snyder photo from a few weeks ago, and it's been pretty hilarious, but it's actually a very classic pose for the character. Re: George Reeves, I would highly recommend Hollywoodland. It's about the investigation of his murder and Affleck does a really great job playing Reeves. The sh*t that dude went through playing Supes is nuts. Edited May 25, 2014 by RutgersJetFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely bleak, but it sounds like that could have been an awesome movie. Didn't know there was a sequel coming either. Hopefully it uses a little more of the book than the original did.

I like that he didn't try to force him in as Magneto's kid, Singer has always had a good handle on when to deviate from the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
