No Zod, No Constantine and No FF 3 - Mar 28, 2008 - 09:53am
These comments make me very happy, on the whole. I really thought I was nearly alone in my love for Constantine. (Just watched it again last night, in fact.) I thought Keanu did a great job. Might be a little hard to sell him to the general public as suddenly British in a sequel. If they decided to try, I like the Marsters suggestion, as well as bigthor's Daniel Craig idea. I love FF 1 & 2 -- they're fun, and that's all I wanted from them. I hope they do more, and that Evans and Chiklis stay. I would be OK with Zod in the next Supes if done right. But for the movie to be done right, I think there'd have to be a recast of both Superman and Lois, and -- as repeatedly stated -- more action. Justice League Mortal is the dumbest-sounding title ever. WB needs to get its collective head out of its collective arse on DC movies.

Three More Join Whedon's DOLLHOUSE - Mar 27, 2008 - 09:14am
I'll be on the couch on premiere night solely because of Whedon. I find Eliza Dushku very annoying, and -- like Merin -- Fox being involved has me worried. Maybe it'll show on another network, with Fox just producing.

A Movie for Kids? - Mar 04, 2008 - 09:48am
It's actually Cruella DE Vil (not "Di Vil"). Just a space away from "Devil", which I'm sure was purely intentional. Also, ANOTHER version of Narnia being released on DVD?! Or is this one the BBC series?

First Look at Pixar's UP - Jan 28, 2008 - 07:59am
I'm with WISEGUY562. Pixar can do no wrong. I'm as excited to see WALL-E this summer as I am for Iron Man or Dark Knight. And hanso, TS3 is set for 6/18/10, according to this article from just the other day: http://www.mania.com/57243.html

Updated: How Long Before Your Shows Go Dark? - Dec 14, 2007 - 08:59am
I'll step up as one of the "droolers". I LOVE _Pushing Daisies_. It's second only to _Journeyman_ in the list of best new shows this year, IMO. It's a whimsical fantasy detective show with brilliant dialogue, quirky characters, and sublime narration by Jim Dale. (Mr. Dale did the reading and voice-acting for all the Harry Potter audiobooks.) It's an extremely FUN show, and I highly recommend it. You guys remember fun, right?

INKHEART Trailer and Official Site Online - Dec 10, 2007 - 10:59am
Saw this trailer on Friday with Golden Compass. It was the first I'd heard of the movie. -- chaotic said: "Sounds like The Mummy." Bwah? How, other than starring Brendan Fraser, does this sound remotely like The Mummy? -- estavares said: "they have the same overlit, too-much-CGI, the same beat-for-beat preview as all of the recent kid-lit movies" While I certainly don't think the trailer itself broke any new ground, I fail to see how it's "overlit" or has "too-much-CGI". The only highly-lit scenes I saw were the ones outdoors in daylight. And would you prefer Claymation and rubber suits? At any rate, it looks interesting to me. Brendan Fraser + Andy Serkis + fantasy genre + potential literary character crossover a la League of Extraordinary Gentleman = I'll see it.

Universal Pushes WANTED To Summer 2008 - Dec 06, 2007 - 12:07pm
metalwater and WISEGUY: You don't "hide" a film in the middle of the summer if you think it's not going to do well. You tuck it away in September or March. Moving it FROM March shows that (as rgtchtiger said) Universal has confidence in it. But I guess it's just easier to default to "because it sucks", huh?

NBC Orders Full Season for CHUCK & LIFE - Nov 27, 2007 - 01:24pm
-- gauleyboy240 said: "I read a LOT on this site from people who complain that nothing move fast enough. I disagree. Whatever happened to character development, stories building up and taking their time, thereby creating a sense of intrigue an mystery. It only surprises me that there are so many of you on this site complaining about things not moving fast enough because most of you are my age. I'd expect short attention spans from teenagers but Adults should'nt suffer from this sense of instant gratification as much." 100% agreed! I love stories that take their time with plot developments, devoting energy to characterization and dramatic tension. Journeyman has been at just the right speed for me, revealing small morsels in the larger meal with each episode. To further the food metaphor, it's opening up like a glass of good red wine. I love time travel stuff, so Journeyman had me from the get-go. But it's kept me interested with quality. In my mind, it's even better than Quantum Leap. Dan doesn't have an Al to pop in and tell him exactly what he's supposed to do. Granted, he's got Livia, but she doesn't know the full story (or isn't revealing it), either. And the twist of outside folks (Garrity and Langley) being aware of the time travelers adds a nice extra dimension. Langley calling Dan while he was in the past was a huge "Whoa!" moment for me, and absolutely solidfied my status as hooked.

Kring Apologizes to HEROES Fans - Nov 08, 2007 - 09:29am
I'll admit to feeling that the "Hiro in the past" storyline was dragging several times, but the Adam reveal at the end of this week's episode was a hell of a payoff. I'm very stoked for next week's episode! Still find West annoying, though....

New 1-18-08 Update & Site Found - Oct 01, 2007 - 09:10am
Heh. I had the 1-18-08.com site open to check out the new picture and recipe, then forgot to close it. After about 5 minutes, a monstrous roar played. And FWIW, I love this kind of stuff. Transformers did some great similar things with the sectorseven.org site. Just wish I had more time to mess around with the Ethan Haas sites.

BSG, Star Trek, Scantly Clad Women, and More... - Sep 14, 2007 - 12:34pm
Hmm. Either they're recasting the role of Micah's grandmother (Tina Lifford played Paulette Hawkins early in season 1) or Micah isn't actually D.L.'s son. Also, we need pictures of the Dawn lookalike contest!

Fox Pulls Out of COMIC CON - Jul 19, 2007 - 09:03am
A huge part of why Firefly didn't "get the numbers it needed" was Fox's handling of the show. Demanding a re-done pilot shoehorning nine character introductions and a story in one hour, off-target advertising, showing episodes out of order, and time-slot shifting make it really difficult for a show to gain an audience. *EDIT: And now I see that, while I was typing, poltergeist made the same points a few seconds before I did. Ah, well.

Another Villian to SCARE BATMAN? - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:36pm

KILL BILL's Bride Returns in November! - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:23pm
mckracken -- Vol. 1 is listed as 111 minutes, and Vol. 2 as 137. Only one minute less in the combined version, and that's probably just due to smushing the credits together. So now we have 4 hours of Kill Bill! W00T! SO glad I didn't buy the skimpy separate versions. I just hope they don't rearrange the combined version to be chronological. (I doubt QT would do that, but you never know -- especially with what they're doing to Grindhouse.)

Aged INDY Picture Revealed - Jun 22, 2007 - 08:56am
I'm glad to see the last few posters have mustered some sense. Honestly, complaining that Indy is wearing his classic clothes? Every time I think internet nitpickers can't surprise me any more... well, I get surprised again.

POTTER Opening Moved Up Two Days - May 31, 2007 - 08:57am

More TERMINATORS in the Future - May 10, 2007 - 11:22am
-- mckracken said: "GLOBAL SUCCESS OF T3? um I'm sorry but for all intents and purposes, T3 was a rehash of T2 with an expanded ending." -- Whether it was a rehash or not, that has nothing to do with whether it was successful. According to IMDb: Budget $200M (est.) Worldwide BO take: $427.6M That sounds successful to me, and it doesn't even cover rental and sales dollars (which aren't listed there). Mark me down for the "liked it a lot" camp, too. It's my favorite of the three.

Cartoons in a theater? - Apr 30, 2007 - 09:46am
What the heck is wrong with people?! "Oh noes, they gave me more entertainment for the same price!" As long as the movie's not a borefest, I LOVE it when the running time is longer. More story = good. I feel like I get better value for my money. I'm hoping PotC3 isn't hurt by its 2:50 running time, but I can't imagine it'll do too much damage, since it'll probably be on 3-4 screens per theater. Grindhouse didn't feel anywhere NEAR its 3:11 running time -- I was thoroughly entertained the whole time, and the rest of the audience seemed to be having just as much fun. And people have actually complained about "too many features" on DVDs? Wow. That's a new (and stupid) one on me.

Laurence Fishburne to voice The Silver Surfer - Apr 19, 2007 - 10:28am
Doug Jones just can't catch a break, voice-wise. (Don't get me wrong, though. Fishburne has a great voice.) -- "So, when are they going to cast Neo as Zod in the next Superman flick?" -- Heh. "Like, kneel before Zod. Whoa!"

Gail Simone named new "Wonder Woman" writer - Apr 13, 2007 - 10:53am
She writes _good_ comic books, bdd. She's been the writer on Birds of Prey for a while, did a handful of issues of Action Comics, and wrote the Villains United and Secret Six miniseries. All of which have been quite good, IMO. She also writes the current Atom series, but I haven't been able to read that because I can't stand John Byrne's art. (I think he may be off the book now, though....)

C-3PO Exclusive Figure Images - Apr 10, 2007 - 09:08am
Perhaps some of us have actually been wanting figures designed after McQuarrie's concept art for a long time. I know I have. Just because you two don't, don't assume no one does. I'm pretty tired of hearing "Lucas = Pimp/Whore/Moneygrubber/whatever". It's simple: Don't want it? Don't buy it. I just hope this and the R2-D2 concept figure aren't completely exclusive to Celebration IV. If they want to do different paint jobs, that's fine, but they need to release the molds at retail. (I really can't imagine them doing two completely new molds and only using them as convention exclusives, so I don't think I need to worry.)

"Boromir: Son of Denethor" - Apr 10, 2007 - 08:35am
I've got this figure sitting on my desk as I type this. If it gets a B, I'd love to know what in the world could possibly earn an A. The only "down side" mentioned in the review is the chainmail shirt -- that's enough to drop the figure a whole letter grade? I think the technique Sideshow used looks very much like chainmail at this scale. And surely no one expected actual interlinked metal rings, did they?

Quoth narpin: "My Transformers movie came out in 1985 and was animated. I own it on DVD. Eff this crap." Yyyyyeah. You'd think someone with such staunch opinions would know the original TF movie came out in *1986*. "Eff this crap," indeed. Hooray for open minds!! This movie shall rock.

Jeff Bridges joins "Iron Man" - Feb 06, 2007 - 08:58am
First, let me say that I consider myself a big Jeff Bridges fan. However, I'm not sure how KJ can say this is a "brilliant casting choice" before we know more about the character. "A longtime employee at defense contractor Stark Industries who plays a major role in shaping Stark's life" is not terribly specific with regard to how well Bridges may or may not fit. Mark me down for the Paltrow = "meh" camp, too....

"Aquaman 13” Collectors Figure" - Feb 02, 2007 - 09:26am
Wow. This is about the briefest review of anything I've ever seen. Where are comments about the sculpt, paint, and articulation? And captaingordon, he also had only one hand and various hooks in the DC comics from '94 to about '02. (The hook was replaced by a mystical water-elemental-type hand after that.) If you think he's the worst hero ever, you need to read Peter David's run on _Aquaman_ from the mid to late 90's and Morrison's _JLA_ issues (from '96 to ~'00) -- he was used very well in those books.

Well, dragon261, while it's amusing for me to read that American Idol appeals to "human psyche fear and loathing" -- *I* certainly loathe it -- maybe you just need some more fiber in your diet. And now for internet response #17: If you don't like it, don't watch it. Seriously. It doesn't need to be erased from existence just because you don't find it appealing. OK?

"Manhunter" Cancelled - Jan 18, 2007 - 08:45am
A big "Bah!" to all of you. _Manhunter_ is an awesome book, and I'll miss it. It has better characterization than 95% of comics out there. :-( And dwanderer, her costume is made up of the costume of a Darkstar that crashed to Earth, a pair of Azrael-Batman's old gloves, and one of the previous Manhunter's staves. I'm sure the book would've done better if her boobs were hanging out....

I've never understood all the hate for the LIS movie. I enjoy it a lot, and can think of truckloads of other movies that are far less deserving of sequels. (Many of which have already *had* sequels.)

First look at Transformers CGI - Nov 28, 2006 - 09:32am
It never fails to crack me up when people insist that Peter Cullen was cast (or that any other decision on this movie was made) because "the fandom gave paramount a hard time". It's not G1, G2, Beast Wars, or any other previous Transformers franchise. It's its own new thing, and people REALLY need to accept that. Anyway, Scorponok looks awesome!

Weekend Box Office Report: Happy Receipts - Nov 20, 2006 - 09:24am
Someone may have pointed this out, but I'm avoiding reading the above comments due to spoiler fear -- haven't seen Casino Royale yet. Anyway, if I'm reading the string of numbers right, 007 seems to have scored a higher per-screen average than Happy Feet -- $11,822 vs. $11,125. Meanwhile, what the heck is Babel?

The New Blood - Oct 09, 2006 - 08:43am
"HEROES [snip] I hope that last weeks zinger ending is a sign that the series will finally start to pick up speed." Finally? This will only be the third episode. "Can we just get the X-Men together and start kicking ass already?" Yeah. 'Cause heaven forbid we actually get some well thought-out setup before (and if) that happens. Heroes has been incredibly intriguing so far. I hope they keep up the current pace. But no no, let's just jump straight to the mindless action. Feh. Go watch _Fastlane_ or something.

I loved the movie, too, and will definitely be buying it. Special features sound a little thin, though. I was hoping there would be Slusho and Tagruato stuff on the disc.
