...Sure, he built football stadiums and bought jumbotrons for football programs, but he also built one of the great fine arts centers...

Wait... What's wrong with Football and Jumbotrons?

Sounds like a good guy.

RIP.

Just then, the Green Meanies attack Pluto and Dayv simultaneously, revealing themselves to actually be Blorthgians of the planet Tetrion, slaughtering every tuxedo-wearing black man in their path.

No kidding. There are two theatres in my town--a 2-screen that's been reduced to charging a buck a ticket, but only plays older or niche movies, and the new eight-screen which basically feels like they can charged whatever the #%@& they want since they're the only theatre with the popular movies in town. I think it's like $5.75 for a weekend matinee there.

John shouted at Dayv, "That counts as a refference too!" and began punishing him by dancing badly.

So, the man from Pluto sold his soul to the demon boizengal in return for the power to seek and destroy the Green Meanies and their dark master Ringo.

Of course, but there was no need to make a thread just to complain about how 'inferior' the movie is to the animated version. It smacks of being arrogant and whiny, and we've had trouble with arrogant whiny people here in the past.

Nausicaa rocks. It's my favorite Miyazaki film. Princess Mononoke was pretty good, but all the Giant Talking ANimals were kind of weird. I never really could get into "Spirited Away".

The man seeking to build an elf-harem was quickly killed by the Elves, but his coming was an omen to them that the Green Meanies had been freed from their seven eternities of imprisonment.

It's 'Revenge of the Sith' repeat phobia. Revenge of the Sith, most of us loved it the first time...

Then, we see it again, and we don't like it as much, and it gets less enjoyable after the first viewing. Maybe the entire movie-going public has been conditioned to just avoid second viewings.

Revenge of the Sith was the last movie I saw in theatres twice.

I know there are game types that just work better on the PC. The problem is that anytime I try and play a PC game, there is always SOMETHING wrong with it. Graphics card isn't good enough, the CD drive is busted, Direct X 9.30394 is not supported by this version of Windows, blah, blah...

With a console, you get it, and every game designed for it works, and works at the same level no matter what year you bought the console.

PCs are far too unreliable to make good gaming machines.

My printer won't work. I hate the fact that my printer won't even more than I hate Sony's PS3 strategy!

Seriously dude, if you can't or aren't going to explain why you don't like the movie, quit b****ing about it. Nobody I know hated the movie.

I personally enjoyed it a lot, and you're of course free to think whatever you want; just quit acting like your opinion is the word of God.

I was excited when I heard about that release but after reading several HORRID reviews of it I decided to spend my money elsewhere. That bad, hunh?

Same here, Capt. It isn't really even a DCAU project--they just reused the character models so they could crank something out fast to promote/cash in on the release of Superman Returns.

They need to start makign Superhero films about some of the more interesting B-Listers. Why don't Guy Gardner or Nightwing--or even Tim Drake--get their own film?

DC (and I'm sure Marvel as well) has so many great characters that aren't as popular as the big names. (The fact that Ghost Rider is getting a film is a step in the right direction. I just hope it doesn't suck.)

That's not a complement. That's a fundamental law of the universe.

Seriously, HvIJ, it wasn't really as bad as you're making it out to be. The lead actors should have been older, definitely. But I don't think it detracts enough from the movie overall to completely write it off.

I would contend that even if we never get a real release of the OT, Star Wars won't be dead.

Star Wars is freaking STAR. WARS. It changed the film industry more than any other film in history. The universe is one of the most profitable ever created. And even with the SE changes, the core appeal of the movies still shines through all the stupidity laced over top. THe original prints still exist on the internet and on fan-made DVDs. You can't kill Star Wars by not releasing it on DVD. It's grown far beyond that.

So, basically, this thread is stupid.

That's all I have to say.
