  1. So, Tom... did you like the book or not? You're just too vague.
  2. Come to think of it, if they're forcing Legolas and Frodo in there, it would be kind of a surprise to not since Gimli, too.
  3. Weaving was among the first guys cast - when Del Toro was still directing. And let's not forget that Orlando Bloom will be back as Legolas! Reprising his vital role in the book!!

    Personally, the one I can't stand is "The Cave of Two Lovers." But, yeah, "Painted Lady" sucks hard.

    You shouldn't. I truly believe it's the best animated series ever made.
  6. I love that Clayface is an art geek, Bane's mask is apparently a beanie and Catwoman and Poison Ivy are apparently whores.
  7. I've had a lot of trouble with that game. I get a freeze every time I get to the ninja level and I can't load past there. Not sure why but it really pisses me off. I played the hell out of "Lego Harry Potter" when I got it for Christmas. Now I've become obsessed with "Fallout: New Vegas" in just two days. Gotta love Christmas gifts!!
  8. It's not really all that superficial. There is an entire industry devoted to hair in film; it's part of an Oscar category called "best makeup." In big budget movies, hairstyle is as important to character design as costume. If he was dressed in a bunny suit for most of the movie, would that be a superficial complaint, too? You can't include a hairstyle like that without having it explained in the film, actually, because it's fucking ridiculous.
  9. This... is the guy's regular haircut.
  10. No joke on the hair, right? He looks like me on a bad month in junior high.
  11. Yeah, I'm in agreement there on the Legacies book. Man the first six issues of this thing were so good and the last two just blew. Maybe it's like you say, looking back on the 90s makes the stories seem just horrible - but this series has really taken a turn for the worse.
  12. Robert Downey Jr. could give her pretty good advice on fighting demons, it's true. But she's a terrible actress. Just awful.
  13. Read that a while ago. I see what they're saying, but how can you complain about a superhero film being too cliched during its origin story? They're pretty much all based on the same template. Could you have filmed it differently? Yeah, you could have. But they're giving you pretty much exactly what's in the comics there. And probably 80 percent of the comics stories on Cracked are completely misinformed - like pretty much every other thing they're written about this movie. I'm really taking a wait-and-see approach with this one. It's hard to really hate something we know so little about.
  14. Tom, "Batman: Orphans" will, I assume, tie into the "Batman, Inc." storyline:
  15. I'll hold his legs if I can play too.
  16. Urban's just a solid actor. Although, I'll always think of him as the warrior leader in that shitastic "Pitch Black" sequel.
  17. Ah, ok. I misunderstood. But why would it be too early? Captain Stacy was a character that was always meant to die, so I could see them pushing that into movie no. 1.
  18. Nice work. You should join the Facebook group I did - "M. Night Shyamalan should be hanged for treason against the Avatar fanbase." Good, rational people there.
  19. If so, we're already off to a bad start. ??? Because of a single photo? I know Internet geeks are inherently pessimistic, but really?
  20. I hardly think its borrowed. Unfortunately, film poster designers follow trends. Bright red on black and white has been big for years - hell, the trend may have started "Sin City." Honestly, I think it's a good choice for the character - similarities to other posters be damned.
  21. Psst... Uncle Ben dying isn't a spoiler. His death pretty much kicks off the entire Spider-Man mythos. Since that's Gwen, I'd imagine that's Capt. Stacy's funeral. That's another character who was pretty much created to die.
  22. It may mean I'm just too old, but the fact that someone asked this question just floored me.
