McQuarrie Preps PERSONS UNKNOWN for Fox TV - Sep 12, 2008 - 10:54pm
Except that in LOST they all know how they got there.No, this sounds more like the Twilight Zone episode "Stopover in a Quiet Town".

Will Smith is the New CAPTAIN AMERICA? - Sep 08, 2008 - 07:15pm
First of all, let me say to SONYMAN: you have every right to your opinion, but the whole tirade you wrote makes you look like the Grand Dragon of the KKK. Secondly, Will Smith is black! I just don't quite see it. I think that typecasting, in a situation where the characters have been visually drawn out a certain way over decades, is not racist. If these characters were purely literary, then I could see this. But the truth is Captain America is an icon, like Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. The canon of these characters is pretty solid (unlike characters like Green Lantern or Flash). Any reinvention is jarring. My vote for Cap? Matt Keeslar from "The Middleman."

Kahn Writer Takes on Geoge Washington - Sep 07, 2008 - 11:13pm
To add doublec: Who is this "Geoge" Washington that MANIA speaks of? Does our spell checker not do article titles? P.S. Kahn is his Hebrew name.

De Niro Out of Mel Gibson's DARKNESS - Sep 05, 2008 - 01:43am
Maybe Mel felt Bobby was a little too Jewy.

SUPERMAN Flying Circles in Development Hell - Aug 19, 2008 - 05:28pm
I vote reboot a la Hulk. I have hated SR since I left the theater cursing. My choice for villain: Mr. Mxyzptlk !!! How cool would that be?

SDCC: Sam Raimi Ready For EVIL DEAD 4 - Jul 27, 2008 - 01:31pm
I share your enthusiasm Flint.I had never seen Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. So over the last month I DVR'd all three films and did a 5-6 hr marathon and watched the whole trilogy. It was awesome.As much as I loved Army of Darkness I think the earlier films were better. So here's hoping for a return to the cabin as opposed to the past.

Perlman and Jones Talk HELLBOY II - Jun 15, 2008 - 05:44pm
Yeah the first one was okay. The second one looks just downright wierd. I get a "Fifth Element" vibe from it, like at the end I'll be saying, "What the hell was this movie about!??"I'll wait for it to be on cable!

THE INCREDIBLE HULK - Jun 13, 2008 - 12:09am
Pretty good, but Iron Man was much better.

IRON MAN 2 Has a Lift-Off Date? - Jun 09, 2008 - 10:55am
They should absolutely bring back Favreau. And while they're at it, how about a Vince Vaughan cameo a la Bruce Campbell in "Spiderman". "F*** the Iron Monger, you hear? F*** him!"

Sander's Happy Madison Launches GENRE Label - Jun 06, 2008 - 10:09am

Update: Ledger's Autopsy Is Inconclusive - Jan 22, 2008 - 02:20pm
I hope no reshoots were necessary on "Dark Knight". Otherwise they'll have to go CGI ala "Gladiator" or stand-in ala "The Crow". I wonder if the Joker is alive at the end of the film or if Nolan will have to recast the Joker for part 3. Also, it looks like Ledger was also attached to the next Terry Gilliam movie. Such a shame. Good wishes to his family. Heath will be missed.

Christopher Nolan Talks DARK KNIGHT - Jan 22, 2008 - 01:53pm
Heath Ledger's apparently confirmed death this Tuesday afternoon means that reshoots will be impossible unless they go CGI ala "Gladiator" or hidden ala "The Crow". I wonder ifhe kills the Joker at the end of the film or if there will be a need for recasting in Batman 3.

So this could be a final reboot, no homage, no prequel-sequel. No kid, no teenage Lois. This could work.

New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 06:04pm
As the saying goes, "Everyone's a critic." I like all I've seen so far. The Joker makeup is starting to grow on me and I'm curious to se Heath Ledger and his take. The new movie poster... clever enough, while not showing anything. And the new Batsuit... not my first choice of design style, but we don't know if this is the only one he wears in the movie, or if it serves a special purpose. And for the record: I loved Batman Begins! (Twice in the theater!)

SARAH CONNOR Begins Between 24 - Oct 17, 2007 - 01:56am
So 2 hr event on Sunday and then 3 more episodes on Monday plus Sarah Connor? What will FOX do with the regional news casts on Monday? Their programming never runs past 10pm.

Chris Pine is Kirk in STAR TREK - Oct 16, 2007 - 01:26pm
metalwater: Surprised you didn't recommend Nathan Fillion for the role of Kirk or McCoy. SONYMANswallows: Surprised you didn't work "Halle Berry" into the comment somehow. MANIAc's are so predictible.

Johansson Set for Diamond Heist in BRILLIANCE - Sep 05, 2007 - 07:25am
I felt the need to elaborate... I just don't get the whole Scarlett Johansson thing. She's not that good an actress, and truth be told, she's really not that pretty. Sort of a horse with mild Down's syndrome face. (Okay, maybe that's overstating it, but there's something not right about the way she looks. So much so that it bugs me out.) So she has a big rack.

With only 16 episodes, where are they going to squash all these people in. I hope they are mostly flashback characters.

Warner Bros Has SUPERMAN Cast in JLA Movie? - Aug 25, 2007 - 11:46pm
Nathan Fillion, alias: metalwater. Nathan are you sitting at home lobbying for a role?

Warner Bros Has SUPERMAN Cast in JLA Movie? - Aug 25, 2007 - 01:22am
Thanks tobruk! I googled him. I never saw Firefly. Is he too old for Batman considering Welling as Supes? Is he really being considered or just in metalwater's wish list?

Warner Bros Has SUPERMAN Cast in JLA Movie? - Aug 25, 2007 - 12:56am
How cool would it be if Tom Welling out-Supermans Brandon Routh? I love it. This is good news. Will this movie be in the Smallville continuity? If so, will Green Arrow be in it? Cyborg? Kid Flash? Will the Legion of Doom feature Michael Rosenbaum's Lex? Who is Nathan Fillion?

Garofalo Investigates on 24 - Aug 21, 2007 - 08:18pm
I've always had a thing for Garafalo. She pulls off that cute Goth chick look pretty well. Even in her 40's, I still love her. I must be wierd. I'm a leftie, and a proud liberal. Impeach the Bush administration!

Garofalo Investigates on 24 - Aug 21, 2007 - 02:45pm
I like Janeane. I can't wait to see her talk Jack Bauer to death! lol. Really, I've always liked her, i DO think she's funny, and I agree with a lot of her beliefs too. She'll make a good addition to this season.

Another Production Delay for 24 - Aug 17, 2007 - 05:09am
I'm glad. This can only make for a more cohesive storyline, hopefully no plotlines get lost this season. What did happen to Pres. Logan last season? No more on the fly writing. Give me a good story!

Meany, O'Mara Join LIFE ON MARS - Aug 16, 2007 - 10:58pm
Here's my problem... and I like Colm Meany... They are remaking a British TV series for American television using an all Irish cast? Why bother. Just check out the original.

Kevin McKidd As The New THOR? - Aug 15, 2007 - 02:23am
ALthough I don't see McKidd as bulky enough for Thor, he's a great actor. I can't wait to see "Journeyman" on NBC thihs fall.

Checkov is Cast for STAR TREK XI - Aug 08, 2007 - 04:13pm
They could put Tom Cruise in the box Pike was trapped in after his disease took over. He wouldn't have to act. Just green light, red light. Heck this looks a little like Cruise.

SPIDER-MAN 3 Hits DVD Oct 30 - Aug 03, 2007 - 01:45pm
Now I know how all the Superman Returns fans feel when I blast THAT movie. I fully enjoyed Spiderman 3, while not the best of the three I think it was still on par with the series as a whole. Don't like it? Dont buy it! I will.

Chase, Shawn, Gottfried & Sagal Join BEANSTALK - Aug 02, 2007 - 01:49am
Wow, dissing Gilbert. He's funny, and his voice is great for cartoons. That's why he's still working. His standup is awesome.

Black Turns to STONE - Aug 02, 2007 - 01:47am
I have to agree and vote: JB=talented. I love this guy. And "Pick of Destiny" was waaay underrated. I laughed all the way through. I watched it the same night I watched "Borat" which I thought was pretty awful.

Harold Perrineau Returns to LOST - Jul 27, 2007 - 04:04am
This one's been all over every website, so you were bound to see it eventually.

INCREDIBLE HULK Tearing Up Manhattan - Jul 23, 2007 - 09:20am
I resisted seeing the first Hulk for a long time based on reviews, when I finally forced myself to see how bad it was, I found that it wasn't THAT BAD. There were parts of the movie I could have done without, but for the most part it was enjoyable (and I hated Supe Returns!). That being said, Ed Norton and Tim Roth are great, so I'm looking forward to this. Have they picked a director yet?

Seth Rogen As The GREEN HORNET? - Jul 20, 2007 - 12:49am
I'm a little young to compare to the TV series, and I never read the comics, but is the Green Hornet supposed to be a pudgy Jewy slacker type?

Video Footage of JOKER & Bat's Ride - Jul 18, 2007 - 12:08am
oops repeat post deleted

Video Footage of JOKER & Bat's Ride - Jul 18, 2007 - 12:08am
I loved Batman Begins, so I trust Nolan. That being said, this Joker looks more like the Cat-guy from KISS, than the Joker. Just for fun I watched Sandy Colorra's Batman: Dead End again. Although "Boner" sounded a little off as the Joker, he looked great! That's the Joker. I'm sure I will enjoy TDK, but that Joker just doesn't do it for me.

Spacey Returns as Luthor in SUPERMAN - Jul 11, 2007 - 01:08am
hanso... I liked Superman 3 (nobody likes 4). I'd even settle for pre-crisis Lex the scientist.

Spacey Returns as Luthor in SUPERMAN - Jul 11, 2007 - 01:04am
Jarrod, I left the theater bitching. If you'd like to meet me face to face I could tell you how much I hated "Returns". If Singer does a movie about how Lex tries to get Australia from Zod I will plotz! BTW, one of the other things I hated about SR was that all the non major roles (i.e. TV anchors, one line extras) they all had Australian accents. That bugged me to no end. As much as Singer wants to deny it, Superman is an "American" icon... no matter how dark he tries to make that costume.

Hollywood Studios Ponder Future Franchises - Jul 10, 2007 - 05:11am
I'm not a fan of the way X Men 3 ended and I hope that in one of the spinoffs they give us an update on what exactly happened to Prof X.

Leonard Nimoy in STAR TREK XI - Jul 10, 2007 - 05:05am
We shall see. I wonder if Nimoy will be playing Spock. Perhaps he's got a stunt cameo in another role. But I say to JJ, if Shatner wants in what would be the harm of giving him a cameo as well. It would be a great nod to the fans, and let them know that this is a real Star Trek film and not a new continuity.

SUPERMAN Sequel NOT on Hold - Jul 08, 2007 - 05:34am
Let's give Chris Nolan a shot at this. His realistic (well realistic-ER) take on Batman was brilliant. I'm not going to see the next "Supe" in the theater if it's a continuation of the abomination that was "Returns". You've got to assume the director and producers have heard some of this backlash... I hope?

No CGI in INDY IV - Jul 05, 2007 - 09:08pm
What he's really saying: "I will release Indy 4 with no CGI, and possibly even release the DVD without CGI, but just WAIT until I get a chance to do a SPECIAL EDITION DIRECTOR'S FINAL CUT. I've tweaked some of the scenes. You'll want to buy that DVD to compare the two versions." Hell, he couldn't even keep his hands off E.T.

Superman Sequel Update - Jul 02, 2007 - 08:09pm
Awesome, they will all have aged 3-4 years. And they could call it the next day. Then they might look the right age for the parts they are playing. Except how to explain that kid going from 10 to 14? Stupid kid!

Routh Talks JLA and SUPES Sequel - Jun 29, 2007 - 07:34pm

Olyphant talks HITMAN & DEADWOOD - Jun 28, 2007 - 12:17am

Myles Set In Vampire's MOONLIGHT - Jun 27, 2007 - 04:47am
I never watched it, but the series "Angel" comes to mind. That being said, if it didn't last on the WB what chance has this got on CBS? I give it 4-5 episodes.

MARVEL Studio Head Talks Future Movies - Jun 25, 2007 - 01:01am
So far all I know of what they produced themselves is "Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2" and "Iron Man" (the cartoon version). Enjoyable enough, but not "WOW!" ... btw: First paragraph... They're [Their] franchises continue to impress audiences in transferring from comic book form to the big screen. Sure, their [there] are the occasional misses with both critics and audiences but for the most part, they're on a roll with their perspective franchises. A pet peeve of mine. Love that you managed to use "they're", "there", and "their" all in one paragraph! :)

Female President in FOX's 24? - Jun 24, 2007 - 06:12am
I have so many things to say... Being President on this show is dangerous! Karen Hayes would make a cool POTUS but I think they are going in a new direction. I still think they should stick with Wayne Palmer or Vice President Daniels. maverick: I saw this story posted on the "Ausiello Report" over at TV Guide the other day. Perhaps THIS is where you saw it? Just wanted to say again, I appreciate Jarrod's take over "KJ's take" any day. At least you have constructive things to say.

Black is a MAN-WITCH - Jun 19, 2007 - 07:46pm
You were all thinking that too. I was just up early this morning when it got posted. scoxocs means absolutely nothing. I used to play an online game called iSketch. when you win your name spins in place. I was trying to think of a name that would look the same rightside-upside down. It doesn't, but I liked the way it sounded so I kept it and use it on many boards.

Anderson Set to Helm SPY HUNTER - Jun 02, 2007 - 12:48am
I think they should make Bubbles into a movie. I used to play that game all the time at my local arcade in the 80's . (Not Bubble Bobble, although a CGI take on that would be cute for the kids) To play it go HERE! LOL

Anderson Looking Forward to a LONG GOOD FRIDAY - May 22, 2007 - 09:33pm

CAVEMEN, CONNOR CHRONICLES Get Series Pickups - May 14, 2007 - 02:52am
Without the "I'm not very hungry" caveman, you know the one who is in the airport with that catchy German pop song. Well without him, what's the point? He's the funniest part of those commercials.

Bello Replacement for Weisz in MUMMY 3 - May 14, 2007 - 02:44am
Back to The Matrix: Remember that guy Cypher (spelling?) on Morpheous' (spelling?) ship, who was replaced??? That really threw me, big time, when I saw The Matrix sequels!!! They didn't even attempt to match the actors...or at least put the guy in a pressure suit and mask, to hide his face from the cameras. It was terribly distracting!!! Who? Cypher (Joe Pantoliano) was killed in the first Matrix. Bane was the guy in the second one. He was taken over by Agent Smith.

Sonnefeld Ponders BOX - May 11, 2007 - 02:35am

Malcolm McDowell joins "Doomsday" - Apr 27, 2007 - 03:07pm
As much as I love McDowell, this cast seems very B/even C grade. And McDowell shines best when he's playing evil.

Favreau and Downey talk "Iron Man" - Apr 27, 2007 - 03:04pm
Al Pacino was nominated for his role in 1990's "Dick Tracy".

Edward Norton is the "Hulk" - Apr 16, 2007 - 04:28am
Ed Norton's one of my favorite actors. I was able to watch "The Illusionist" a couple of weeks ago for the first time, and even thoughit was predictible it was very, very enjoyable. Hulk fans could do worse.

Lawrence Kasdan to write "Clash of the Titans" - Apr 16, 2007 - 04:26am
From Harryhausen to CGI? Ray'd turn over in his grave (though I don't think he's dead yet).

"Speed Racer" coming May 9, 2008. - Mar 10, 2007 - 10:43pm
But this is the Wachowski's. So I expect this turd to do 5 flips in the air in slow motion while dodging bullets in real time. The Speed Racer car will also drive in slow motion, or stand still for that matter. It will be a bright and shiny turd, is my point.

Warner Bros. Animation to release new "Superman" Animated film - Mar 04, 2007 - 01:31am
Yeah, darth, what's KJ smoking? Any Supes or Batman done by Timm or Dini and I'm there. Superman Returns was awful.

Adrien Brody is "The Hulk"? - Feb 13, 2007 - 01:48am
Well, I'm not a huge comic book guy, so correct me if I'm wrong, but if the title is "The Ultimate Hulk," then perhaps they are basing it on the Ultimate Universe version of Banner. All I know of this version is what I saw in "Ultimate Avengers" 1&2. In this movie, Banner was a raggedy looking character, almost like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Maybe this is the goal.

Warwick Davis joins "Prince Caspian" - Feb 08, 2007 - 03:11pm
Peter Dinklage is a GREAT actor who also happens to be small. Warwick is just suited to these roles for the type of actor he is, no different than say, Steven Seagal is to action.

"Weird Science" Remake? - Feb 07, 2007 - 03:44am
I swear I think you leave these comments just to incite flaming. Grrr. While I agree a remake isn't warranted, Kelly LeBrock in the 80's was gorgeous!

"Gremlins 3" is Direct to Video? - Feb 07, 2007 - 03:41am
Not Jennifer Connelly, Phoebe Cates. I enjoyed the second one. I loved how the Video and Film versions had a different scene in the middle. Hulk Hogan tells them to fix the film... hilarious.
