Some of the casting decisions that are made for these movies astound me. You'd think these companies would be more careful about their properties. I'm definitely anxious about that one...


Well, you know how it is. That big lazy wheel keeps turning in the sky, sometimes things come out odd. Look at it this way: at least they've hired seasoned actors to play Tony and Pepper as opposed to two uber-young people.

Is it wrong that I don't like the way they draw Wonder Woman there? Kind of makes her look like an anime chibi character.

Yeah. I'm afraid Hollywood will either whitewash him and make him too heroic or turn him into an outright villain.


I worry also for how the Comedian will be depicted. I would hate for him to be played as a Wolverine knock off.

So... who's keeping an eye out for the direct to DVD animated adaptation of Death of Superman, starring Adam Baldwin as the voice of Superman? Or the animated adaptation of DC: The New Frontier?


And the adaption of the Teen Titans story The Judas Contract.

I'm definitely there on all three of them. I've never actually read the Judas Contract story in the comics, so I'm especially interested in that one. And New Frontier was just a marvelous take on DC's characters and I can't wait to see it animated.


I'm very much looking forward to these videos, especially Judas Contract. On the print side, I'm thinking that the new JLA series is really, REALLY good. I love Meltzer's work and the art is great.


What I know at this point about DC: New Frontier Animated Adaptation -

Kyle MacLachlan (spelling?) will voice Superman/Clark Kent
Lucy Lawless will voice Wonder Woman
Neil Patrick Harris will voice Barry Allen/Flash
David Boreanz/the Angel guy will voice Hal Jordan/Green Lantern
Brooke Shields will voice Carol Ferris

Aquaman, Batman and Martian Manhunter are also slated to appear, but no word on who's voicing them. It has been said that longtime Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy will not be voicing Batman here, because the animators want to emphasize that this is not part of the regular DCAU.

In "Superman: Doomsday" Superman/Clark Kent will be voiced by Adam Baldwin, Lois Lane will be voiced by Anne Heche, and Lex Luthor will be voiced by James Marsters.

Funny thing: Baldwin voiced Hal Jordan for a cameo on JLU while Neil Patrick Harris voiced Atom on JLU.

And to be honest I don't know jack diddly about what's going on with Teen Titans: Judas Contract.

I would give anything for an animated adaptation of Kingdom Come, greatest Superman story of all time. Live action Kingdom Come would be even better, but I'll settle for an animated adaptation. I'd also like to see animated adaptations of Emerald Twilight/Rebirth, origin stories of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Knightfall/KnightQuest/KnightsEnd, even one of the great JSA stories. How about you guys?

What is the most distressing aspect of the PT?

Well, there was a very bad and very unbelievable story foundation, characters lacked depth, sincerity, personality, chemistry, Jar Jar Binks, and the simple fact that in Episode 1 all the stuff that Obi-Wan should be doing is being done by Liam Neeson, and while I like Liam Neeson, it was not right to screw Obi-Wan over, thus contradicting Obi-Wan's "When I first knew him... was amazed how strongly the Force was with him... I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi..." speech in ROTJ.

George Lucas calls Spiderman 3 'silly'

Lucas needed to help script-polish Spidey 3. That way when Peter is dumping all that sand out of his boot after his first fight with Sandman, he could say something compelling like "I hate sand. It's rough, and course. And it gets in everything." Then cut to Peter's proposal-date where he says to MJ ... "Unlike here. Where everything is soft. And smooth. I love you Mary Jane Watson. You are in my very soul, tormenting me."

Then when MJ says "I can't believe you shared our kiss with her" have Peter reply with something really deep and moving. Like, "I'm haunted by the kiss that I shouldn't have given. I hope that it doesn't turn into a scar."

Add in some important expository scenes with Venom where he says, "How can you take pictures for the bugle and NOT have a staff position? It's insulting. And Jameson is worse ... he's overly critical ..." *throw an empty film canister* "In most ways ... I'm actually better than Peter Parker. It's all Peter's fault. He's holding me back!!! AND I HATE HIM!!!!!" *quivering lip*

Add in a few floating robots in the background for no reason whatsoever and it won't be so silly.


Hehahaha, that's hilarious!

The second and third are complete pieces of shit. Don't waste your time with the sequels.

EDIT: I just noticed that you already watched the second and totally dug it. I'm going to special order a stamp that says "Terrible taste in movies" and press that fucker right up against your forehead.


Are you talking to me or someone else? I didn't say I "totally dug" the 2nd one, just some of the music that played over the credits and thought it had well done fight sequences. That alone however does not make it endearing to me.
