Ha. We'll all be spirits by the time that happens at this rate.

I'll leave it up to you to decide what KIND of spirits I mean.

If the movie hadn't sucked, I think we might have forgiven the rubber nipples eventually.

Okay, just for the record, I didn't mean to imply that all gay men are bad directors. In fact, I actually liked Joel Shumacher's film A Time to Kill...

I just mean that Batman and Robin have too many connotations and gay jokes hovering about them (largely thanks to Fredrick Wertham) for it to work.

I was actually thinking about just that today and this is what I came up with- to my mind Superman's whole pursuit of Lois in this film is astoundingly emotionally selfish. Its his OWN fault that Lois or the world for that matter (though stated but not shown in the film) has moved on- he's the one who took off without a word to anyone (with the possible exception of his mother). If the SR characterization of him was half a man or half the hero that he's supposed to be he wouldn't be shocked in the least after HE RAN AWAY for five years, no matter what his reason for doing so. If he truly needed to go to Krypton he would have/should have just told the world- and especially Lois if he really loves her- 'hey I have to do this thing... please wait for me'. But not once in the film do I remember seeing an inkling of understanding from him that this is his fault. Instead he follows Lois repeatedly trying to re-insert himself into her life... a life that has moved on. Great themes for a Lifetime network movie-of-the-week but not heroic, let alone *super* heroic.

Once again, yes, he does do this, and yes, it isn't exactly the most heroic thing. But even Superman isn't perfect. And in the end he realizes that Lois has moved on and saves the world anyway, nearly dying in the process...

Funny but not really surprising. Lady in the Water, at least IMO, is a stupid idea to begin with. You could argue the same about a sequel to a movie based on a theme-park ride, but it's already proven itself with the first installment. Emnyte's work has just been going down hill, with Village and Lady apparently (as I have seen neither) totally sucking. And he's gotten so full of himself.

Never believe your own hype.

Well, I put in a title crawl. I really don't like to do that, but...

Anyway, in the two days since I uploaded the first version, Google has apparenlty massively changed their upload process, so the redone version won't be available for view there for a few more days.

Suddenly, Loretta, eying the green glow in the back just as the unstable reactor core causing the green glow exploded, hurled herself in between the explosion and Mojo/Reallife, her Radioactive-cockroach enhanced body taking the brunt of the explosion, even as Oxnar was bathed in gamma, delta, epsilon, chi, phi, and theta radiation.

I still dont' see how Superman of 'Returns' was whiny and emo. Yes, he was miffed about Lois moving on, but he got over it and still saved the freaking continent.

Gasping, Mojo loudly wondered what was happening to him, exclaiming, "What is happening to me!?", and thanking his Lucky Stars that there were no agents of the Redundancy Department of Redundancy in the audience; Loretta arrived just at that moment to explain to him the truth!

Mojo used his Petebestian powers to drive the demon back, spraying Oxnar with a blast of fire from his belly button... even as the green glow got larger...

Hm, thanks. It would be best if I could do it in a way that doesn't require either female to talk since I'd have to contact them again and have them do some more lines. I might be able to add a scene at the start with the Captain saying something to the effect of it.

I think so too. Enterprise was 92% suck and even Nemesis wasn't very well received because the plot was so similar to Wrath of Kahn, and Voyager, well, it had a crappy ending.

OH, I LIKED IT, BUT THE PACING WAS RATHER SLOW. YOU CAN FIND ALL KINDS OF SOUND EFFECTS TO DOWNLOAD ON THE NET. I LIKED THE CUTTING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SCENES. YOU DID A GOOD JOB OF THAT. YOUR VOICE ACTORS JUST DIDN'T CAPTURE THE CHARACTERS VERY WELL. THEY LACKED EMOTION IN THEIR PERFORMANCES.

See, that last line is especially depressing since I did all the male voices in the thing. (Not by design, just because the guy who was supposed to play the captain quit at the last minute.) Urk. I'll look into what can be cut to improve the pacing. Thanks for not sugar-coating.

Star Trek is alright. There are istances where the science is ridiculous and where it's a bit too full of itself, but there is also a lot of good stuff. First Contact, for example.

The webmaster of this site is a Star Trek fan too, actually.

Well, the 40s serials not withstanding. I'd forgotten there was a movie based on the TV series, but I was reffering to the five most recent theatrical movies.
