Han Solo VS Indiana Jones

With the exception of the spectatuclar finale, I thought that HPB was, by and large, the weakest of the six books thus far. I do agree, however, that Columbus should be kept away from the franchise now.

But as far as I know, all the modern Batman films have had large and successful toylines. I still have dozens of figures from Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns. Apparently, however, they couldn't get the rights to use DeVito's face or maybe they thought it would be too scary, but the figure of The Penguin was the comic-book version.

He did? That's awesome.

I hope his Wonder Woman movie is good.

Actually, I really don't think that Bloom is that talented an actor, although with a bit of refining andtraining, he could easily become an exceptional performer. The fangirls do grow annoying, but that is no reason to hold it against him .

Very true.... but did you know that the 'texture' on the blue parts of the costume are actually little laser-scribed 'S' symbols? They paid some ridiculous amount of money etching little 'S's all over the suit and of course, other than just adding a scaly look, it does nothing for the image on screen. Go figure... gotta spend that budget somehow!

Having just watched Superman III, I'm amazed at just how much the new suit looks like Bad Superman's suit in that film. That's the worst part of the magenta. It just looks like Bad Superman.

I love how virtually every poster and promo shot had his suit color corrected to the more traditional red. The marketing guys knew this color was a bad idea.

I don't get how Singer continually says "If you're making a Superman movie, don't be afraid to make a Superman movie." He specifically talked about not overly modernizing the character or the classic elements. Then he screws up the suit. I, for one, found the suit to be the #1 biggest detractor of the film. The Super-Stalker scene was probably #2. Parker-Posey-Should-Have-Been-Lois was #3. After that, I thought the film was good enough.

Edit: Though I have to say, the superboots would merit not even needing normal shoes. They'd just look like cordovan loafers under a business suit. I wanna know how Supes hid the good ol' red boots all these years.

True, but Superman Returns has grossed a total of $244 million world wide (plus domestic.) I don't know what it is for Pirates, but I'm sure it is high too.

Sups is definantly going to make back the $250 million it cost to make. Superman Returns 2 here we come!! Woo! And I just love the new Superman suit. He looks more like a Superhero and not songbird.


A not so interesting PS note - I had a dream last night that I took my aunt to go see SR and it was the "edited version" and was missing about half the movie. I was soooooo pissed this morning when I woke up. But the thought of owning the DVD with the deleted scenes made my breakfast all that much tastier.

George Lucas on the set of OOP: "Alright, Daniel. When you enter the Wizengemot court room, I'm going to insert a thousand digital house elves falling down from the ceiling with magical parachutes all wearing 'Potter Stinks' badges. But then Chris Rankin is going to get pissed off and shoot them with his wand, causing them to explode in a giant fireworks display that covers you with house elf gooze. And then I want you to say, 'I hate house elves. They're coarse and irritating, and they get everywhere.' And then I want you to fart really loud and mug the camera."

Why's everybody got it in for Will, huh? I think he's pretty cool.

Well I just got back from watching Superman and I thought it was just great.
It had everything for me. Action, emotion and a pretty good plot. Brandon Routh IS Superman. I think he pulled it off perfectly.
Even my mate who I went with loved it, and he's a fussy git when it comes to films. He hated Spiderman 2, thought it was shit. Though Batman Begins was just meh - which I did too really. Superman kicked ass all over BB -imo of course.
And don't you just hate it when your sitting next to the nerdy bunch. I know we're all nerds on here when it comes to Star Wars, but to see it from a different point of view is quite amusing. They laughed at all the 'in' jokes that not many understood, (I did but didn't laugh) but bless 'em.

Great film...I was all excited when the title credits started. It just wouldn't have been the same without the good ol' Superman theme. I also thought the suit looked much better, so much better than the bright Red and Blue...and no Bridget Jones style Big pants.


It's just a great ride of emotions. Loved it...now I have to take the missus to see it next week. Yay!!

So with Pirates 2 and Supes, that makes two out of two good blockbusters this summer so far.

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 watched Braniac Attacks, I actually have the DVD, and I honestly didn't think it was that bad. When I read a lot of customer reviews on like Amazon.com the biggest complaint was mainly that the voices of Lex Luthor & Braniac were different from The Animated Series. I thought that the storyline was good and all. The way Lex Luthor acted though was kind of like, I don't see Luthor actually acting like that. Just my two cents, I know there are people that don't like it for better reasons then two voices being changed.

I'm torn. I respect Rowling, but I would have loved to have seen Spielberg's take on the franchise. Then again, I'm not British. Ah, well. What's done is done.

He's only directed one film so far, Love Actually, but he's written a host of films and TV shows. Mr. Bean, Black Adder, Four Wedings & A Funeral, Bridget Jones, Notting Hill.

He interviews the cast on the GoF DVD. He's a brilliant writer and Love Actually showed he can direct the hell out of character actors in an ensemble setting. He even made Alan Rickman likeable. I know he'd nail the humorous parts of the books that have been sorely lacking in the films without sacrificing the emotional textures.

Edit: Oh, and he wrote "The Girl in the Cafe" which was David Yates' last film.
