THE CHANGE FROM DENT TO TWO FACE WOULD HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT IF THEY WAIT TO DO THAT UNTIL THE THIRD MOVIE. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS ANOTHER SPIDER-MAN 3.


I would have liked to have had Dent in "Begins" and establish his friendship with Batman there, and then we could watch it develop in "Dark Knight".

Agreed! And she played her character so perfectly. A person like Kaylee would be awesome marriage material. ::wistful sigh::


You could tell she was really enjoying herself with that role, and that adds to her already natural cuteness.

Both of those statements are so true!!! And that is my point. Perhaps he doesn't look bad considering his age, but he is damn old for the role. And of course we can't expect him to be young forever, that is why we make sequels while our stars are still young, rather than pointlessly waiting a million years, then finally decided to get around to it. I could understand if the demand for it just wasn't there, but I remember people being thrilled about the idea of an Indy IV way, way back just a short time after Last Crusade came out. This movie would have been a money maker back then too, and it would have had a better chance of being good. Now it just feels like another crappy bookend to finish the Indy franchise off. Now the movies we like will be surrounded by a pretty crappy TV series, and possible a very crappy attempt to get a few more drops out of a fairly old cow. Even if the milk is still good, there is no denying that it would have tasted a lot better ten years ago.


That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Coming fall 2009 - Indiana Jones The Animated Series.

I need to pick up the Firefly DVD set some time.

Serenity is definitely worth it, Ferris.


Ditto.

Maybe Joss should have sold FIREFLY to the Sci-Fi channel instead of Fox? Maybe then it would still be running. Any show with someone as cute as Jewel Staite deserves at least 5 seasons.

Whoa, and in 3D no less! You talking "in the nude" as in the little black briefs popularized by 300? Or does he really fight in the nude? Because that isn't cool.


He fights in the nude against Grendel. Like you said, NOT cool.


Well, that's what he does in the book, but it was irritating because they just used it for about twenty AustinPowerisms, which was irritating (AustinPowerisms being the strategic placement of certain objects to obscure the genital area)


Kind of makes you wonder "why bother"?

It's been a few years since I read the original book.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

As a child I tended to regard Thanksgiving as "that other holiday that bridged the gap between Halloween & Christmas" but I was always grateful for the 4 day weekend, which I will now sorely miss. The parades are usually nice though, I actually managed to catch the Rockettes this year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good night.
