Uhh... I think it was more speaking out against reliance on selfish decadence. Or maybe Ron Moore just watched Terminator 2 a few too many times and is scared to death of the robot apocalypse.

The thing to remember is that the above summary is what was sent to the networks, hence the simpleness of it all. The creative people behind SGU have stated that the cast and plot summaries are not fully representative of the actual show. I'm sure that BSG had a similar casting list. "Commander Adama is the ultra-conservative tough military commander with a heart of gold." "Apollo is the young son of Commander Adama, and commander of the viper flight group." "Starbuck is the brash, trash-talking hotshot pilot." "Laura Roslin is the liberal counterpart to Adama." "Colonel Tigh talks like a pirate." And hey, we can even go all the way back to the Star Wars original trilogy, which has the simplest characters ever devised, yet is still the gold standard for film storytelling: Luke=young boy who dreams of adventure Han=Handsome rogue Leia=Tough girl Obi-Wan=Wise old master Darth Vader=Dark Lord R2 and 3P0=comic relief duo

I've described the finale to friends as "Return of the King in space." It had

That's not the point. Watchmen had bones breaking through skin straight into the camera and hands being sawn off for no apparent reason. TDK didn't even have any notable blood or gore; all of it was implied, not shown in slow-motion on-screen glory. TDK was only violent when needed; Watchmen was sensationalized and seemed to revel in its own inapproriateness. (which was quite the opposite of the novel)

But Watchmen doesn't have the marketing power of Batman, and The Dark Knight was dark without being completely gruesome like Watchmen.

But I don't think that you can necessarily make an R-rated superhero film and have it be marketable. It's too cheesy for mature non-geeks, and too mature for kids. What audience is left is extremely limited.

WOW. I just watched the finale, and... WOW. Did anyone else pick up on the idea that

It's supposed to be in the year 2039, 40 years after Rebirth's airdate and the end of TNBA/Gotham Knights's run in 1999. So Bruce would be 39-40 in TNBA, 79-80 in BB, and 94-95 in Epilogue. Justice League and JLU kinda screw with the timeline a bit since Bruce Timm says that the ROTJ flashback is supposed to take place AFTER JLU, but Robin is clearly too young in that flashback for that to be the case.

At this point I'm about ready to say F*** Lois and Lana (not literally =/ ), Clark should be with Chloe. Honestly, Chloe was really the heart and soul of Smallville since the beginning.

yes Bruce does limp, just look at him in out of the past, whether he limps in ROTJ I don't remember. Hmm. I guess I was just remembering the times when he held his cane in both hands (to fight off someone) and walked just fine on his two legs.

But Bruce doesn't actually limp, does he? I think both his legs are equally strong; he's walked on both feet without the cane before.

Hmm... Chris Pine isn't the worst idea I've heard... it could work... Fillion? I think he's a little too old now, unfortunately.

New interview with Ryan Reynolds on his role as Deadpool: http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/34461/x-...lds_031609.html Very interesting...

At this point, I'm just happy to have a film that's fun to watch. Continuity is already screwed up after X-men 3. I think that the idea of

I think that Spielberg himself could do a great job. Screw Bay.

Um... I don't think that that synopsis is quite correct. If it is, then there are a lot of plot points left out. (if you haven't read the synopsis, don't highlight the spoiler-text.

Animated movie. Small screen.

YES. That first arc or two of Superman/Batman was great. Judging by the summary there, it looks like we'll actually see animated forms of modern DC heroes. Just off the top of my head, I remember seeing Starfire, Nightwing, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Kon-El, Captain Marvel, and Hawkman in the original comic. Yeah, this should be good. Heck, it'll probably be better than the comic was.

I vastly prefer SR to Hulk, personally. At the very least, SR "felt" like its source material, whereas Hulk felt like an Ang Lee drama with some bad green monkey CG thrown in.

Saying that the 2003 Hulk film was good because it was beautifully shot could also be applied to Superman Returns. Both films have great dramatic visuals (though SR is definitely of a higher visual quality), and are boring as hell. I say that the Ang Lee film wasn't as good as the 2008 film because the narrative simply did not fit the subject matter. When you've got a giant green monkey-man bounding across the desert, there's really no way to make it a character-based human drama. It NEEDS to be an action movie. (also, I found the non-hulk Bruce Banner scenes in the 2008 film interesting, as they actually show him being the genius he is) A similar problem happened with the FF films in that they were turned from superhero stories into celebrity comedies. Also, Doom's motivation was destroying the nerdy protagonist because he (sort of) stole a girl that was never really Doom's in the first place. (what?)

I think Marvel needs an FF reboot, considering how central the FF's characters and sci-fi concepts are to the Marvel Universe.

It was more than halfway decent; its open-world setting set the standard for superhero games. There's a short list of other good film-to-games, like Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The real example, however, would be the Star Wars games. Jedi Knight, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and Knights of the Old Republic were all outstanding games that were--at the time of release--the best in their genre. That being said, The Dark Knight would not have lent itself well to a game.

NOOOO!!!! >_< What the hell?!? She looks nothing like Black Widow! Get an ACTUAL RUSSIAN!

The new live-action series is a project that I've been following since its announcement in 2005. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_l...ction_TV_series From everything I've gathered, the series should: -Have a "darker, more mature" storyline, according to Lucas -Have more emphasis on characters, much like Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and other serialized shows of that type. -Deal with the early stages of the Galactic Civil war, specifically the Rebel and Imperial pilots. -Have an EXTREMELY heavy emphasis on Boba Fett. Everyone from Lucas to Rick McCallum has near-literally stated that Boba will appear. -The "underworld" will be featured, hence why Boba is involved As far as I can tell, Boba is the only completely confirmed element (along with the "grittier storyline"). The rest are all very likely, however. I personally wonder how they're going to have Boba Fett and the underworld deal with the Rebels. Maybe some black market deals are made?
