  1. Ok...I'll concede. I saw the preview for Bionic Woman last night and it looked cool. I'll even give it a shot. I still don't think it'll make it out of the season alive but it should be interesting. She kicks all kind of ass.
  2. Wow...yeah. What the fuck is Puck doing in Wolvie's costume? Last we saw him he was tits up in tundra.
  3. The answer: no. When I heard the announcement I thought I was in 1993 again.
  4. more bat-channels here.
  5. Yeah, Sylar is merely in the sewer. He never ate the brain of a shapeshifter from what I know. I liked that ending. It at least redeems Nathan, who I consider to be a good character. I thought it was evident that Peter couldn't fly with any semblance of control. Remember when Claude threw him off the building? Matt isn't dead, only hurt. Hiro's story was great in this episode, especially the "You look badass" part. Ando is the perfect foil. I think I may be right in assuming the eclipse in 1671 started this whole powers mess. Or, is that one of Kensei's powers? I'd agree with the good, not great comment. It's hard to keep quality pumped so high throughout an entire season as they have. But I do appreciate the wrapping up of almost every main storyline. If they didn't, between tomorrow's Lost finale and a Heroes finale with no answers I may have had a coronary.
  6. I can't wait for this movie!!!
  7. Don't say I never did anything for ya! Greatest site ever, I only discovered it yesterday and I'm already wayyyy behind on two deadlines (not Reel Dread though). PS you'll need a DivX player but them are free from what I hear round these parts.
  8. I think Eckhart is one of our generation's unsung great actors. I can't wait to see him as Dent/Two-Face.
  9. I agree sir! Well done. It's very insightful.
  10. Does it have anything to do with taking care of his Dick? Or bringing Dick up?
  11. Totally, there are more too. A lion killed a trainer the day after filming the zoo scene where the monkeys attack the car. And I couldn't find it corroborated anywhere so I didn't mention it but I swear I remember an interview with David Warner who mentioned that the prophetic photography was inspired by inexplicable lines being drawn through actor's heads in early dailies...spooky shit.
  12. This has to be somewhere in the top 5 of banners! You've outdone yourself Yoda!
  13. About Goddamned time! I say. This is what everyone wanted to see for the third film and instead they turded it up. I for one am excited about the next slew of Terminator films (a trilogy?). I hope Arnold has absolutely nothing to do with it. The only thing that would make sense is to have him as either the perfect soldier whose look was copied for the human versions of the T-100s (but his man-boobs say otherwise) or as the developer of the robots (but this is both derivative of AvP and as ridiculous as casting Denise Richards as a scientist in that Bond film). I call for a grim and gritty futuristic Arnold-free Terminator series! Because we all know that the Sarah Connor Chronicles is likely going to be a pooch.
  14. I just watched the Once and Future Thing parts 1 and 2 today. The scene with Batman and Batman Beyond Bruce interrogating the Scarecrow guy and Static (or Warhawk, can't remember) turns to GL and says Batman's playing good cop? "Everything's relative."
  15. I forgot to mention Stan Lee. I love the man and he is almost single-handedly responsible for who I am today but that was shameful. This movie did not need any more disjointing. That was awful. I can't remember groaning out loud like that in a theatre for so long. I really think that Raimi was sick and tired of the series in this movie. It was almost a "fuck you." The more I think about it the more I think it sucked.
  16. Just before I moved away from Scotland she signed a deal as a lingerie spokesmodel. The tv ads were so ridiculously hot that hiding my fascination with her ass from my wife was not even attempted. That is all. Edit: enjoy
  17. Yay! I love a Previews episode!
  18. Should we start a pool now to see which one makes it to the end of the first season? I pick none of them! On the remake/then QL ripoff front: Chuck sounds a hell of a lot like the Bill Murray movie The Man Who Knew Too Little.
  19. I've got the funniest cast yet: Cammy: Kylie Minogue Guile: Jean Claude Van Damme Bison: Raul Juli...wait a minute!
  20. And welcome by the way!
  21. Right on, Ross! That's some nice stuff you got there. The woman on the platter and the Spiderman piece especially. I'm a writer, maybe we should work on something together sometime.
  22. I'd pay to see Smirnoff as Zangief... "In Soviet Russia, fight streets you!"
  23. I'd prefer Lizard and Kraven (but I'm a Kraven fan). Where in the movie was Carnage? Did I miss something? I saw one spoiler online and that was Carnage makes an appearance...maybe it was French Bruce Campbell.
  24. I'll preface this with an apology that I may repeat things that have been gone over ad nauseam but I've stayed away from this thread out of spoiler phobia. Forgive me. I'll go over the characters... Spiderman: I've said elsewhere that I'm not a SM fan and I am definitely not a Tobey Maguire fan. That said, I thought that the first two SM films are among the best superhero movies ever made. This one not so much. I think Maguire is phoning in his Parker performance and hams it up beyond all reason as Dark Parker. Emo Spidey? Didn't mind the hairdo. But the 7 minutes of a fucking Travolta impression. Dumb. They should have removed that from the film entirely and saved me a few bucks on the babysitter. If they make another SM film I hope Maguire is done. I'm ready for about everyone else. I love the web-bullets though. Mary Jane: When will Dunst realize that she is a piss-poor actress with an agent who walks on water? Harry Osborn: Meh. I don't mind him. I didn't really like him in the first two and from the trailers I was ready to hate the Xtreme Goblin thing. But I have to say I liked him more in this movie than in the first two. The "attack his heart" thing seemed a little rushed. Did Willem dafoe go uncredited? Sandman: Coolest looking villain to date even with the goofy sweater. I'm pissed as all hell about the Uncle Ben angle. Why does every villain need to have killed a hero's family member in the movies? It would have been great if he was just a guy Spidey put in jail. I hate the overuse of a villain's redemption and this film had 2.5 of that. Venom: I didn't think they'd pull off Venom's look and they didn't perfect it but they got as close as I was ready to accept it. Looked sinister and stringy which is better than his early appearances in the comics. What I hated was that they didn't distort Topher Grace's voice. I liked him as Brock which surprised me as well but every time he was Venom and spoke I kept wanting Red Forman to come out and call him a dumbass. WAS I HALLUCINATING OR DID BROCK GO INTO THE CHURCH, ADDRESS JESUS AS "SIR" AND THEN ASK HIM TO KILL SOMEBODY?. Whoever wrote that line is either brilliant or retarded. Gwen Stacy: No problems over here. Bryce Dallas Howard could give me the key to the city any day! Dad must have married a hottie because she looks nothing like old Opie. Overall I thought there was a little too much slapstick and rushed writing with quick easy answers and cliches for me. The action was fantastic, except for the opening battle between Parker and Goblin which I thought looked a little too much like Quidditch in the first Harry Potter movie, and exciting. Edit: Oh yeah. JK Simmons, as usual was the best part of any thing I see him in. Guy was made to play Jameson. If I have to hear Aunt May deliver another speech to Peter that makes more sense if she knows he's Spidey again I'll jump in front of a logging truck. That is all.
