THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 18, 2008 - 02:32pm
I'll take it out of his mouth as soon as I take it out of your ass, so you can stop wailing like a bitch here on this post.
My 15 year old daughter would eat your 38 year old pussy lunch (after I take my dick out of your ass).
How funny is it that as soon as someone says something back to you, after you took every shot possible, that you start shitting all over yourself. Your a joke. I was right, your girlfriends problems are due to the fact that she still has not known a man.
Sorry pal.
THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 18, 2008 - 01:52pm
Ha-ha-ha, good, good. I'm just glad that I got you thinking a little bit.
Joey-go-blo-me, maybe if your wonderful woman wasn't in a relationship with you she wouldn't have to take anti-depressants. Pull your head out of la la land and spend some more of your time focusing on her, maybe she wouldn't need them anymore. But then again, maybe that's why your with her.
Fuck all the meter maids, man, fuck em!... That's just how I feel man...
THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 18, 2008 - 09:55am
Whatever my name is? Is your name really "thirishar"? I understand what your saying about being cold and callous and it may come across that way, but it's not my intent. My point is this: the guy is on top of the world, just finished creating the role of a lifetime that is Oscar worthy, could basically call his own shots from here on out... and he's taking anti depressant drugs? Why? He could be using his success to impact the world for good, but he's taking anti-depressants, because he can't take his eyes off of himself. It is TOTALLY tragic.
My point is that we need to stop glorifying wealthy, hollywood actors, who live life with some massive, phantom burden on their backs. Again, why? Can we please stop feeling sorry for them? I work hard, have a wife, three children and am proudly the sole provider for our family. Sorry, but I don't want a wealthy, "poor ol' me" actor, who accidentally killed himself by taking way too many "prescription" drugs glorified to the world by receiving an Oscar.
It 100% sends a horrible message to teenagers, who don't have good role models at home, about who we should be placing on a pedestal.
Now please let me get off of this horse so I can go see TDK...
First Full Trailer for TWILIGHT - Jul 18, 2008 - 09:30am
All I can tell you is that my 15 year old daughter is completely jacked to see this movie. She hates the Comic-Con, but asked me if I could get tickets this year, because the cast and Director is speaking at a forum.
I know nothing more about it.
THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 17, 2008 - 04:13pm
Hanso - WTF? You just said it for me too: "...resulting from the ABUSE of prescription medications."
Again, would YOU do that?
You are aware that kids steal and sell their parents medication drugs to their school mates - yes? Should it be okay since they are "Prescription" drugs?
Believe whatever you want. My point is that let's PLEASE stop feeling sorry for these super wealthy actors who refuse to get their shit together, when they could be using their resources and clout to truly have an awesome, positive impact on the world.
Instead, many of them feel sorry for themselves, cry in their soup and overdose on PRESCRIPTION medications.
THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 17, 2008 - 02:44pm
Okay, great Ponyboy... then let's give a guy, who "accidentally overdosed on drugs", the Oscar. Sorry about that.
I did not say - at all - that he wasn't a good actor, I've enjoyed everything I've ever seen him in.
You made my point for me exactly - "He had what alot actors don`t and that charisma..."
This was not an "unfortunate tragedy". Are you aware that drugs are very dangerous to you? Have you heard of John Belushi, River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix and so on and so on?
My point is that he was selfish to DO THIS TO HIMSELF knowing that it is dangerous - especially when a young daughter, close family and friend relationships and a very bright career are on the line.
Another thing - Most people don't OD on accident. They are usually trying to escape a miserable existence. I am sick and f-ing tired of hearing about how tough it is to be a Hollywood star, aren't you?
Grow the f up already and stop bitching to people about how tough you got it. Shut up, act and go spend your millions wisely - help some people out, start a program for under-privledged, or at risk youth, dying cancer patients, burn victims.
Enough.
THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 17, 2008 - 10:49am
I think I'm the first one to say this, but although I'm excited about seeing this movie, I am really sick and tired of hearing everyone glorify Heath Ledger in this role, talking about his "for sure" Oscar nomination (for which he'll most likely win), when he fricking COMMITTED SUICIDE BY OD'ing ON DRUGS!
Hollywood is such a joke... This guy has it all, multi million dollar contracts, a beautiful young daughter, the world on a string and he over doses on drugs - how frickin' selfish!
And all of Hollywood and the World weeps for this "poor soul" - "It must have been the stress from playing the Joker..." "It must be so hard to be that successful, making all that money and having the media watch your every move..." "He must have been abused as a child..." - Bullshit!
Heath Ledger was obviously a selfish prick. To have all of those blessings in his life, and to feel so sorry for himself and "How difficult this life is" BS, was thinking only of himself when he completely, irresponsibly, selfishly, threw it all away.
And we're going to glorify this poor, unfortunate, hog-nasty wealthy sap, who could have had anything he wanted to, by giving him a F-ing Oscar.
Had to say it... sorry. But it's the truth and it pisses me off.
New Full Trailer for Frank Miller's SPIRIT - Jul 16, 2008 - 12:26pm
I never read the comic, but is this really what the legendary comic writer Will Eisner's "Spirit" is about? Banging every hot chick in the city?
That's certainly what I got from this trailer.
Sigourney Weaver Up for ALIENS 5 - Jul 08, 2008 - 03:13pm
1. Aliens
2. Terminator
3. Terminator 2
4. The Abyss
5. Predator 2
6. Alien
7. Blade Runner
8. Event Horizon
9. Star Wars IV-VI
10. Matrix Trilogy
These are movies that I could watch over and over again.
Sigourney Weaver Up for ALIENS 5 - Jul 05, 2008 - 08:24am
It's too bad that she ever agreed to do A3 and AR... she was so fortunate to work with two of our generations greatest directors on Alien and Aliens, which completely skyrocketed her career. She thought that she was the one who made the franchise as ssuccessful as it was and started agreeing to whatever crap scripts they put out there - as long as there was a $20 million paycheck. I'll never forgive her for alowing herself to be included in a script that had Newt killed in the first ten minutes of a movie!It seems like she's maybe realizing now, that the success of the first two movies was not just about her, but maybe had a little something to do with these iconic directors Scott and Cameron, who at the time were just launching their careers.However, I'm sure that she'd still take the paycheck anyway - even if Scott wasn't involved.
New Clip for WANTED Online - Jun 18, 2008 - 11:02am
That was so freaking cool! It did remind me of when I saw "The Matrix" for the first time - totally unique, different, mind-bending effects that you've never seen before.
I'm there!
John Moore Remaking CAPRICORN ONE - Jun 05, 2008 - 02:17pm
Man... who knew that Jackie Chan was starring in U.S. films way back in the 70's?!

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN - May 16, 2008 - 10:37am
Jaysaw...I was fortunate to have seen a premiere of this on Tuesday and you're absolutely right - it is much darker and much more action filled. The sets, special FX and characters were all much bigger and better than the first film IMO.
I took my 6 year old daughter and she loved it too, so I think it's great that it's a movie everyone can enjoy together.
Everybody will enjoy this movie...
New HULK Trailer - May 14, 2008 - 10:24am
Looks the same as the other trailers I've seen for this movie, just sorted differently.
Saw a premiere of Prince Caspian last night and I thought it was great! Took my 6 year old daughter and she loved it too... Much better than the first movie, much more action, better story line and the sets and effects have definitely been taken to a whole other level since Wardrobe.
I definitely recommend seeing Prince Caspian this weekend!
SPEED RACER - May 09, 2008 - 10:06am
It's A MOVIE FOR KIDS EVERYBODY... NOT 30 YEAR OLD ADULTS WHO WATCHED THE CARTOON IN THE 70's!!!
Speed Racer was for kids back then and it's for kids again now - just amped up to the level that today's kids are used to.
Some advice... Take your children (under 10), or your nephews/nieces to see this movie with you, not your overweight 30+ year old comic buddies, and watch their faces as they watch the movie... that will let you know whether or not this was a good movie.
CLOVERFIELD - Apr 10, 2008 - 04:07pm
Invid - the only difference with Hudson, aside from his helmet cam, is that he didn't supposedly shoot the entire movie himself. He was used in Aliens as comic relief and it worked out perfectly...
~Let's not compare Matt Reeves to James Cameron just yet.
CLOVERFIELD - Apr 10, 2008 - 04:03pm
Hated it...
I understand everyone's sentiments about Hud being one of those annoying/uncapable friends, but this was a movie and the director could have created a much more likable/capable type character for the role.
So I blame the director for forcing us to deal with a completely inept moron for the entire movie. Making what could have been a fun and fascinating movie experience a completely frustrating one.
Two New TV Spots for RACER - Apr 08, 2008 - 07:10pm
joeyB - yeah... I've said this before, but it honestly looks like the next installment of Spy Kids.
The cartoon was nothing like this acid trip, in fact the coloring of the cartoon was quite dull.
I don't mind though, I will definitely be taking my kids to see this... the cartoon was for kids and this movie is definitely for kids.
Aronofsky Has New RIVERVIEW Thriller - Apr 08, 2008 - 02:44pm
muchD I totally have to agree with you... I honestly thought that The Fountain was a POS/C and a complete waste of time.
I just got through watching Requiem the other day, and except for Jennifer Connoly going "ass to ass" with that giant dildo, it was just another total waste of time.
21 Doubles Down at the Box Office. - Apr 07, 2008 - 12:19pm
Nim's Island was a great, fun time at the movies... We actually did a whole family movie experience - daughters, 15 and 5, grandma, grandpa and myself... everyone loved it and had a real good time.
almostunbiased - what questions did your 9 year old daughter have? They all live happily ever after.. what else is there to figure out?
As far as the special effects, I thought they were intended to look like something out of the imagination at times, and maybe that's why you thought they looked campy?
Anyway, if anyone's looking for a fun family movie, Nim's Island is great for that.
SIMON DARK #6 - Mar 31, 2008 - 03:15pm
"Simon Dark emerges to protect the innocent with unrestrained violence... leaving their heads somewhere near their bodies. In the first issue, he interrupted a ritual sacrifice by a white collar cult called Geo-Populus."
Is it just me, or do each of the "heads" in this picture look like those of young kids?
No More FANTASTIC FOUR?? - Mar 26, 2008 - 02:01pm
You know, there was nothing wrong with the actors in these movies... They were are all very capable. Even the scripting/writing seemed fine.
Ultimately, these movies weren't taken seriously because of how poorly, all of these good elements, were put together by a bad director.
I hated the first movie... Way too cheesy. Vowed never to see the sequel, and just like the sucker for good trailers I am, I did go see Part 2 and was so disappointed in myself!!!
Bring in a director with a good track record, and even with a much smaller budget this franchise will rock...
New Official Trailer for SPEED RACER - Mar 13, 2008 - 11:19am
This looks like the next installment of Spy-Kids.
I loved Speed Racer as a kid, and I know this was a cartoon and is being marketed to kids (G-rating still?), but the cartoon was NEVER this acid induced, in fact it's coloring was pretty bland for a cartoon...
Nevertheless, I will definitely be taking my kids to see it.
10,000 B.C - Mar 07, 2008 - 10:31am
gauley, I loved Apocalypto!
Roland Emmerich takes elements from great films and tries to "make them more spectacular" by doing so-over-the-top effects that it ends up looking stupid.
Apocalypto was a great story and was phenomenally acted, and I can't remember seeing any computer effects.
With all that said, I'm sure that 10,000 B.S. will make ten's of millions this weekend...
10,000 B.C - Mar 06, 2008 - 12:12pm
Based on this review, the movie sound exactly like Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, but with Wooly Mammoths and sabre toothed tigres.
Typical Emmerich - over the top hack material, with big (disappointing) special effects and ultimately a total waste of time and money.
"They suckered me with those damn fancy trailers again!.."
New Poster for WALL-E Online - Feb 29, 2008 - 11:58am
You're definitely right mla... I can just remember having the exact same doubting thoughts as you when seeing trailers for Monster's Inc., Nemo, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille... But each time they proved my worries wrong.
I am now a firm believer in PIXAR... that doesn't mean they may not let me down someday, but they've definitely earned the benefit of the doubt in my book.
New Poster for WALL-E Online - Feb 29, 2008 - 10:13am
Mla... IMO Pixar's movies have always been worth the time and money.
Freddie Highmore Picked to Lead ASTROBOY - Feb 29, 2008 - 09:56am
You're totally right BG... Providing his voice for an animated/CGI role will in no way diminish his career at all.
Just about every major actor has done something like this, at least once in their careers, and to my knowledge, it has never hurt.
Amazon Producing Fantasy CHILD - Feb 22, 2008 - 02:36pm
Dawntreader doesn't like the concept because it's not a "Chronicle's of Narnia" film..
And anything that has a tree in the picture must be a Tarzan-type movie.
Sounds cool to me... "Pan's Labyrinth" style fantasy?
Disney Moves PERSIA Release & More - Feb 21, 2008 - 11:04am
Why is this the first I'm hearing about a futuristic cop actioner, starring Bruce Willis, on a site dedicated to providing news about this specific genre?! And I still know nothing about it...
High Def Trailer for Shyamalan's HAPPENING - Feb 19, 2008 - 03:12pm
Come on... Hasn't anyone seen War of the Worlds? It's common knowledge that if ANY alien race ever attacks Earth, we are all supposed to just break out our garden hoses and kick ass!
Most alien races arevery well educated by now about our deadly water and that's why our planet has yet to be breached by them.
M. Night-lite was simply using this same, common premise in Signs..
High Def Trailer for Shyamalan's HAPPENING - Feb 19, 2008 - 11:51am
I look forward to seeing all of M. Night Yourmamalan's movies... I haven't liked all of them, but I always look forward to see what he has come up with next.
I definitely like what I saw here and I will see this movie in the theatres...
New Toy Reveals CLOVERFIELD Monster - Feb 17, 2008 - 10:22am
Mortellan, what you did not see was the size of the creatures butthole... It's able to move so fast underwater by use of butthole jet propulsion, not fins. It's small tail is simply used like the rudder of a large ship.
You'll see what I mean when you can actually get your hands on one of these toys.
Get Drawn Inside Jameson's SHADOW HUNTER - Feb 14, 2008 - 02:05pm
ex-mental, those were my thoughts EXACTLY!
Those parts have been stretched out so much, that poor boy can't feel a thing!
Incredible Hulk's ABOMINATION Revealed? - Feb 10, 2008 - 12:24pm
Maybe he doesn't need pants in this movie because his weiner was "abominated" by the gamma rays...
I'd be just as pissed off (no pun intended) as this guy looks too!!!
WOLVERINE Shooting in Fangorn Forest? - Feb 07, 2008 - 05:08pm
If I'm not mistaken, as seen in the "Weapon X" comics, Wolverine wore a costume that would look very similar to the one he wore in the X-Men movies...
McG Reveals Info on TERMINATOR - Feb 06, 2008 - 12:13pm
Hmmm... This guy as a Terminator?
They should strongly consider pursuing his co-star from "No Country for Old Men" - Javier Bardem..
This guy basically already nailed the Terminator role with NCFOM...
Arnold had a foreigner accent as well and this guy just looks the part! Minus the bowl haircut of course.
IRON MAN Super Bowl Online Details - Feb 01, 2008 - 10:50am
Notice the Giants / Patriots banner that has been flashing periodically on the right of your screen, right here on mania.com.
Yes, many comic/movie fans do enjoy sports too!
CLOVERFIELD - Jan 19, 2008 - 05:17pm
Here's your spoiler... this movie sucked!!!!!!!!
I saw it yesterday afternoon and I STILL have a headache and upset stomach from the shaky camera - throughout the entire movie!
IMO, if this movie had been filmed using a regular movie camera, it would have been great. I honestly didn't think that the entire movie would be filmed this way - extremely disappointed.
i.e; Oh, the gigantic monster is right there in front of me, but instead of filming the monster, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I'm only going to shoot video of my friends, screaming, right across the street!?!?!
At the end, EVERYBODY in the theatre was like WTF?! IMO this movie was a total waste of my time and money... Buyer beware!
Concept Sketch and Details for HOST 2 - Jan 11, 2008 - 02:08pm
Am I the only person who was real disappointed in the first movie? I'm not going to get into detail about what happened in the end, but I was like - WTF?!
Arnold Returning to TERMINATOR SALVATION Trilogy - Dec 29, 2007 - 11:10am
The twist is that Kyle was also a terminator in the original film, albeit an older less fierce version, and so John Connor is actually part Terminator himself, though he doesn't find this out until he meets Kyle in the future and then realizes that he has been living his entire life as a half cyborg, and that is why he's been able to survive through so much!
First Look at Universal's DOOMSDAY - Dec 28, 2007 - 10:45am

Matt Gerald Joins Cameron's AVATAR - Nov 12, 2007 - 02:05pm
Yeah... if he turns out anything like that crap-fest, multi-Oscar winning, highest grossing film of all time, movie Titanic, then I'm going to protest!
Puhhlease! Everyone who pokes at Titanic makes me laugh... It was a phenomenal film that crossed every single fan genre, which is why it was so succcessful.
I've been waiting since Titanic for Cameron to make another movie, and I'm glad this is finally happening.
Hasbro Clarifies G.I JOE Storyline - Nov 05, 2007 - 09:08pm

First Trailer of WANTED Online - Oct 31, 2007 - 12:55pm
Metalwater, do you work? Your posts are always so stinking long and, as gauley said, self indulgent. I just can't help but wonder.
I think this movie looks pretty cool and I've never read the comic... I imagine that 99.9% of the American public have not read the comic either, so it won't really matter...
New Line Options DRAFTED Comic - Oct 26, 2007 - 12:03pm
Oh jeez, you're right! It's a completely different concept then!
I'm not saying that this doesn't sound like it will be a good movie, I was laughing about the "original" posts...
Come on, even the picture shown looks like it's from Starship Troopers...
New Photo of PREDALIEN Appears Online - Oct 26, 2007 - 11:56am
Swallower it did rain in Aliens. Try watching the movie again before you act as if you know it all.
As the marines are entering the facility it is plainly clear that it is raining. The planet has an actual working atmosphere at that point because of the processor... that's the point that Cameron was trying to make.
New Photo of PREDALIEN Appears Online - Oct 26, 2007 - 10:00am
This creature looks pretty silly to me... I wonder if they consulted Giger at all for this design.
In regards to the rain comment, I don;t think he's talking about it actually raining in the films, but nevertheless, in Alien, water was falling in the scene where the first victim gets a hole shafted through his forehead and in Aliens, it did rain on the planet LV426 because the Weyland-Yutani Corp. had built the "atmospheric processor" which created an atmosphere where the planet could be breathable.
Eagle, I couldn't agree with you more... When Alien3 came out and they killed off Reese and Newt within the first few minutes of the film, I completely shut down, I've never respected anything from the franchise since.
I did see AVP, found it enjoyable, but like I said, after the first two Alien films, these are all just monster movies to me now... they will never be able to restore the credibility to the Alien franchise anyway, so I just watch them with a totally different mindset now.
Cullen Confirms TRANSFORMERS Trilogy - Oct 13, 2007 - 03:00am
Mckracken if you never saw it, then don't worry about it... it's obviously not for you.
Maverick, come on... it was a movie based on a kids cartoon/toy line that was released in the 80's... were the cartoons really that much better than the movie? Of course not.
Transformers - the movie, was exactly what everyone thought it would be... vehicles that transform into robots and then fight with each other... what more do you want? Be real, I'm assuming, of course, that your not 6-12 years old anymore...
New Redband Clip of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT - Oct 13, 2007 - 02:54am

A Teasing Look at THE EYE - Oct 13, 2007 - 02:51am
Pplllpppt! (fart sound) whatever...
She sure is pretty, but for some reason, I'm really starting to dislike Jessica Alba - the actress.
The JUMPER Trailer Hits Online - Oct 10, 2007 - 06:04pm
TayDor, thanks so much for telling us all why we shouldn't read the book first...
Now we know exactly what do be disappointed in not seeing.
The JUMPER Trailer Hits Online - Oct 10, 2007 - 06:01pm
ALWAYS READ THE BOOKS AFTER SEEING THE MOVIE!!!
Reading the book second is like watching the extended dvd, deleted scenes, alternate endings, etc...
Reading the book first ONLY makes you dislike the movie... ALWAYS!
Jackman Training for WOLVERINE Action - Oct 09, 2007 - 03:01am
Hugh Jackman has never done it for me as Wolvie... too tall, too thin, too damn pretty and achieves no-where near the level of "Berserker" that Wolverine always had in the comic - with Jackman it always just seems so forced and fake to me.
I always thought that the perfect Wolverive would have been someone like Mel Gibson... stocky, tough as nails, and can play a great, crazy, balls-to-the-walls character a-la Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Mad Max, etc. and he always pulled the insanity off as soo natural.
Wolverive always seemed a lot older than eveyone else too, so Mel would have fit that perfectly too.
Oh well... What's done is done...
GAME PLAN Celebrates Another Victory - Oct 09, 2007 - 02:47am
Saw "Eastern Promises", David Cronenberg's latest flick starring Viggo Mortenson and Naomi Watts over the weekend. I can't believe that it isn't on this list!
It was a pretty darn good movie, but it was very graphically violent.
Budget Cuts for THOR Movie? - Oct 09, 2007 - 02:37am
Couldn't agree with you more Whiskey... I thought this guy was just kidding. My initial thought was that Thor would be lucky to have a budget of $70m. I think the character is cool, but quite honestly, I really know nothing about Thor, other than he is a character based on a Norse god.
Olyphant, Perlman & Wahlberg in TUROK - Oct 03, 2007 - 11:31am
Yeah Boomb... the comic book from Valiant was called "Turok-Dinosaur Hunter" and it was a Native American Indian...
I have no idea who these characters are, but I haven't been into comic books for over 10 years either, so who knows, but "Turok" was the Indian guy's actual name...
Doug Liman Transforms KNIGHT RIDER - Sep 28, 2007 - 02:44pm
If you think that's over the top, then you have no idea why Transformers was one of the biggest blockbusers this past summer.
This is a new generation, and Knight Rider is a show that appealed to a young audience in the 80's, and over the top, in your face action is what todays young audience expects.
Doug Liman Transforms KNIGHT RIDER - Sep 28, 2007 - 12:51pm
If you think about it... done right, this could be absolutely bad-ass!
Imagine KIT speeding into a firefight w/Michael (Knight that is) and as they approach, at full speed, he jumps into mech-transformer-battle- mode and starts laying down a kick ass suppressing fire for Michael , as he charges into the action.
Flying Low - Sep 27, 2007 - 01:03pm

Update: Jessica Biel Out of WONDER WOMAN - Sep 25, 2007 - 01:32pm
I know she's a bit older, although it is Wonder WOMAN, but my vote to play this role would be Monica Belucci...
Talk about voluptuous, exotic and totally sexy!
Latest AVP:REQUIEM Trailer Hits - Sep 21, 2007 - 03:37pm
Sleeper - WTH? Why hasn't Fox called on YOU to write and direct this movie? Haven't they seen your latest script?.. What?.. Huh?.. You haven't written one?.. Well that just doesn't make sense becasue you obviously have all of the answers...
BTW - watch the trailer again... I only watched it once, but in that one time I could plainly see that it was the Giger Aliens, and not the Predators, who were attacking and bloodying the inocent people.
Latest AVP:REQUIEM Trailer Hits - Sep 21, 2007 - 01:14pm
Other than a couple of geeks, nobody knows what the heck Serenity is, or even cares! The movie was okay, it was entertaining, but that's about it - didn't it bomb at the BO?
In regards to Predators hating the cold... that's complete BS! Where did the AI task force ultimately track down the Predator to in P2? That's right... He was spending all of his down time in a freaking Meat Freezer!!!
Giovanni Ribisi On Board AVATAR - Sep 21, 2007 - 12:54pm
Archangel, I have to completely agree with you... It cracks me up when people try to bash Cameron - look at his movie record - it's amazing!
The budget for Aliens was something like $12 million and look what he accomplished with that. I believe The original Terminator was supposed be a "B" movie and all it did was completely revolutionize the Sci-Fi genre.
What you get with James Cameron is a perfectionist - something you want in a movie director, not just "Well, I guess that will have to do." He works until it is perfect in his eyes.
In regards to teh 3-D, he keeps telling us that this is not 3-D as we know it, so why does everyone keep refering to Blue and Red paper glasses on this... This is not going to be some "gimmick", Cameron is trying to give sci-fi enthusiasts and all audiences in general a theatre experience they have never had before in their lives. - Just like he did with Terminator, Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies, Titanic, etc... BTW "Pirhanna II The Spawning" was a pretty darn good movie and I believe it was originally released in 3-D...

Tobey Maguire Attacks in ROBOTECH - Sep 07, 2007 - 01:05pm
Metalwater, why don't you just name every single cartoon you can possibly remember, so you can say: "Hey, the whole reason the studio is making this into a movie is because of ME and MY posts here on Mania.com!" every time they make an announcement like this?...
Give me a break already.
Tobey Maguire Attacks in ROBOTECH - Sep 07, 2007 - 12:59pm
All I have to say is: OH... HELL... frickin'... YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raimi to Direct HOBBIT, Jackson to Produce? - Aug 15, 2007 - 01:08pm
Alfonso Cuaron IS a fantastic choice! I like that idea a whole lot.
I just watched The Prisoner of Azkaban the other day with my daughter, and it is by far the best HP movie yet (Alfonso Cuaron)... And then we watched The Little Princess a few days ago, for like the hundredth time (and it's always great) and for the first time I realized that Alfonso Cuaron also directed that...
He totally gets the fantasy genre and I believe that he would pull off the Hobbit even better than Peter Jackson could.
Alfonso Cuaron! Alfonso Cuaron! Alfonso Cuaron!
Raimi to Direct HOBBIT, Jackson to Produce? - Aug 14, 2007 - 03:58pm
I'm sure that Bruce Campbell and Raimi's brother can make an appearance in the film just fine... Don't forget that Peter Jackson made his own cameo appearance in "Return of the King" as a one of the sailors.
Rumor has it that PJ has lost so much weight since LOTR, that he'll be making a cameo in "The Hobbit" as well... as Gollum!
Rodriguez, Lang Join Cameron's AVATAR - Aug 03, 2007 - 12:34pm
You all know that Cameron likes the "tough" latina chick... Ya'll remember Vasquez from Aliens? Another latina Space Marine... I can't think of here name right now, but he also used her in T2 and Titanic.
Maybe James Cameron thinks that only tough latin ladies make good Space Marines...
Michelle Rodriguez is a fine choice - it's James frickin Cameron! His movies are never about the "actors" anyway... it's all about the story and he get's the absolute best out of whichever actors he works with.
Comic Con: IRON MAN & HULK Videos - Jul 30, 2007 - 04:08pm
Thank you Shadow for that link! I had been searching half the day for it somewhere!
Cappy, what are you talking about, that hulk mug-shot looks just like Eddie Norton!!!
Early Look at BEOWULF - Jul 25, 2007 - 10:26am
Yeah, this looks like a screen shot from that 80's version of Hercules with Lou Ferigno...
CONNOR CHRONICLES' Scene to be Redone - Jul 23, 2007 - 04:33pm
Hopefully, if they do this right, they will follow soem of the story lines set forth in the movies... At the end of one she is down in Mexico - in t2, young John talks about her getting involved with former green berets/special forces type of men - spending time in Nicaragua, etc...
Could be good.
Thomas Jane & Steve Niles Mini Series Details - Jul 17, 2007 - 06:37pm
Doesn't this sound like a direct take from the "John Carter of Mars" series of books?

PSYCH9 Trailer - Jul 17, 2007 - 03:31pm
The Trailer company who put this together should be fired on the spot!
You can tell that there are some potentially good elements of this film, but the trailer was so choppy and poorly coreographed with the music...
Lee & Murphy Find OTHER SIDE - Jul 17, 2007 - 11:53am
I think all of the posters here missed the very first line of this article where it identifies this movie project as a fantasy / comedy.
Now, I've only seen "Lost" a couple of times and it sure wasn't very funny, so other than the fact that this takes place on an Island and involves some weird folks, I believe the comparisons are going to stop there.
DEATH SENTENCE Trailer - Jul 13, 2007 - 01:44pm
There you go... sign up Kevin Bacon as the next Frank Castle if any other Punisher movies get made!...
Warner Bros Options SEPTIMUS HEAP - Jul 13, 2007 - 01:29am
At first I thought the title of this was for a Transformer's parody movie -
Optimus Prime's alter ego: Septimus Heap!
HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX - Jul 11, 2007 - 11:47am
I think those are all very good ideas Galaga, going back to the idea of an intermission makes a ton of financial sense for the theatres as well...
I loved the LOTR movies and had never read the books; after the movies I read them all, including The Hobbit, and was completely blown away by how much had been left out of the movies.
If I had read them first, I know I would have been disappointed, so I'm glad I didn't... reading the books last, added so much more to the movie experience.
So... if you have not read the Harry Potter books yet, I would suggest that you wait until all of the movies come out and then go back and read the entire HaPot series... You get the best of both experiences!
Jackson is FURY in Iron Man? - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:53pm
With the success of 24, I'm surprised that Kiefer Sutherland hasn't been approached to play the role of Nick Fury - he's got the grumpy-lip-face thing down!
Future toon SPIDEY look unveiled - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:47pm
Come on! Stop with all the complaining... You know that everyone who posted here is going to watch it when it comes out.
Jackson is FURY in Iron Man? - Jun 21, 2007 - 04:57pm
I hope that no one is forgetting that Samuel Jackson has already "played" a superhero in another film, so he's already got the experience he needs.
"I said, where is my SUPER SUIT!"
He was great as Frozone in The Incredibles...
Lionsgate Gives FRAKENHOOD Life - Jun 13, 2007 - 12:27pm
Everybody keeps complaining that there's no more originality in Hollywood... well, this sounds pretty original and could be a lot of fun!
Jackson, Harlin Are Into Another KISS - Jun 13, 2007 - 12:24pm
The Long Kiss Goodnight... If you've never seen this movie, it's one of baddest ass, coolest frickin movies ever! Non stop action, great story, the pace kind of reminds me of the movie True Romance...
Now, let's hope that if they do make a sequel, they don't completely screw up how great the first movie was...
Hurt to HULK it Up - Jun 13, 2007 - 12:19pm
I think it's interesting that everyone is talking about this cast like it's so spectacular and completely forgetting how great the cast on the first Hulk film was. Jennifer Connely is an Academy Award winner, Eric Bana has been great in everything he's ever been in (including the Hulk), Nick Nolte has long been a great actor - going way back to 48 hours, and everyone has already been commenting at how perfect Sam Elliot was. Not to mention how cool it was to have a director like Ang Lee!
All I'm saying is, let's wait for the movie to come out before we start saying how great it's going to be... Any Hollywood exec can screw up a perfectly exceptional cast, just like in the first one, although I did like the Hulk movie for what it was.
Jaws Attack Shark Statue - Jun 12, 2007 - 12:23pm
I could be wrong, but I don't remember Jaws having freckles...
Also, is it just me, or do these fricking mini "pop-up" boxes, that mania.com recently added to every other word on each page, annoy the hell out of anybody else but me!?
Celebrities in Excess - Jun 04, 2007 - 05:15pm
Man! One name kept popping into my mind as I was reading about Lindsay here - River Phoenix.
Young, up and coming, making a great name for himself as an actor and then BAM... He drops dead right outside of a club from ODing on drugs.
Damn right... she WILL be dead, before for she ever enters Rehab (for real) and it won't be long either if nothing changes in her life.
Sad...
First Look at Mach 5 from USA Today - Jun 01, 2007 - 04:41pm
Yup... that's definitely the Mach 5!
My mom still tells me how, when I was about 5 years old, I'd sit in front of the TV every morning, with my aluminum Speed Racer TV tray and eat my bowl of cereal, with my mouth hanging wide open while my eyes were glued to the Speed Racer cartoon...
It was some pretty weird, mesmerizing stuff man.
Lord of the Rings Animated Legolas Maquette - May 31, 2007 - 02:59pm
Darkraven, you forgot to mention the TRANSFORMER LEGOLAS...
It would be cool though if someone was working on some kind of animated Tolkien-world program...
RAMBO IV Trailer - May 24, 2007 - 01:27am
Holy crap!... I think that's the most violent trailer I've ever seen...
Never Fear, the UNDERDOG Trailer is Here - May 23, 2007 - 05:24pm
Okay then, you're all correct... according to your logic, this is obviously a movie made for adults and I am very sorry for lashing out at eveyone. Iwill just keep my common sense comments to myself from now on... It will never happen again.
I'll take it out of his mouth as soon as I take it out of your ass, so you can stop wailing like a bitch here on this post. My 15 year old daughter would eat your 38 year old pussy lunch (after I take my dick out of your ass). How funny is it that as soon as someone says something back to you, after you took every shot possible, that you start shitting all over yourself. Your a joke. I was right, your girlfriends problems are due to the fact that she still has not known a man. Sorry pal.
