  1. From what I hear, Dollhouse is supposed to get into some more stuff in Season 2, but hopefully this season will have a nice ending that COULD serve as a series-closer (like Buffy seasons 1 and 3).
  2. It'd be pretty cool if they gave the remaining symbiote bit (in Connors' lab) to a different guy that wasn't full of outright hatred like Eddie was. Then they could examine a new character and his moral choices without even having to deal with Eddie or Spider-man at all. Sure it'd screw with continuity, but hey, now that Venom's a pansy-man and Sandman's a caring father, who cares at this point?
  3. Actually, I've seen more Dollhouse commercials than anything else lately. It's funny; they're advertising it as a sex-filled fantasy show. (waitaminute...)
  4. Last I heard, the film was supposed to cast Topher back into the role. http://movies.ign.com/articles/908/908211p1.html
  5. Yeah, I'm not sure how you can really do a Venom film. Is he supposed to be an anti-hero now? I really like the way they have Mac Gargan as Venom and Eddie Brock as the "reformed" Anti-Venom in the comics, but this film is supposed to make Brock a "sympathetic character." I'm sorry, but after you go to a church and PRAY FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED (irony at its finest), you're kind of irredeemable.
  6. Those nasty internet leaks just can't get any worse, can they?
  7. o_o This is my next college essay topic. I've already run through: -How coffee is a dangerous drug -The social impact of Star Wars -Why Superman doesn't suck -How to build a working Warp Drive
  8. TNF is good, but WW actually has a straightforward narrative that lets you follow a single character rather than jumping between a dozen others that don't have development (Hal BARELY had enough development in the film, and J'onn was somewhere between a character and a simple plot device). Furthermore, it's got insanely fun action, which is something that TNF lacked. TNF is great for the sake of continuity ties to the Silver Age and overall quality, but I stand by my claim that it doesn't stand well on its own, nor is it a really well-told or fun story; it's a jumbled mess of a narrative. The only real hole in WW is the unexplained presence of the Invisible Jet, but that's semi-explained in the commentary. Seriously, watch the film; you'll love it.
  9. I just saw the Wonder Woman animated DVD. I have to say, it was by far the best movie, animated or otherwise, that I've seen in a long while. The action was flat-out incredible, and the dialogue was some of the best I've heard in recent memory. I strongly recommend that anyone even vaguely interested in the movie or DC animation in general watch it; it's by far the best of the DC Original Animated Films (yes, I include The New Frontier in that).
  10. Wow. That trailer is the single greatest thing since apple pie.
  11. Well, the way I see it, it's okay as long as their characters aren't screwed up. In X2, we had Colossus, Shadowcat, Siren, and a bunch of other mutants that only got a glimpse of screen time, yet were still totally enjoyable (Colossus' thirty seconds of screen time and one line of dialogue still make me giddy). X3 was the opposite of that, however, with stupidified versions of Angel and the Morlocks. As long as Wolverine goes with X2's example, I'll be happy.
  12. I've not watched it yet (I like to wait for the finished product) but... at this point, I'm okay with that. Haha...
  13. They actually filmed scenes with them, so that's a distinct possibility.
  14. But see, this case is different because the individual transformers don't all have their own storylines. Spider-man 3 was messed up because it jumbled three different movies into one, while still trying to retain a deep emotional attachment to all three. If they add more transformers to an action scene, then fine. The way I see it, you don't even need to know the individual 'bots unless you want to; they're just soldiers, exactly like the G1 transformers.
  15. Ehh... I was actually disappointed with the low number of Autobots in the first film. I mean, the original cartoon had at least a dozen Autobots right at the start. I don't think that having more transformers will hurt the film, since it's likely that only Bumblebee and Optimus will have much of any character focus. They're just more soldiers in a war, right?
  16. They plan and plot, but they always get caught...
  17. Sorry; I sometimes forget that sarcasm doesn't come across well on the internet.
  18. But MiB2 was just a badly-made movie anyway, so who's to say that the concept itself can't work? Maybe it could be a Space Alien Buddy Cop film. They could advertise it as "Starsky and Hutch in Space!"
  19. He can still be funny, though. And shouldn't Agent J be more serious now anyway?
  20. Actually, Raimi has said that he really didn't have much creative control over Spidey 3, and that the studios had way too much say in what went into the film. Now he's looking to get a better deal for the next film, where he has creative control. http://movies.ign.com/articles/967/967006p1.html
  21. The real problem is that Raimi doesn't understand the newer Spidey villains as well. He really only has a passion for the "classic" stories and villains. That's probably why the films have a total lack of the modern Spidey humor and are basically retellings of the 60s comics. AMEN!
