Bringing two topics together ("Watchmen" and "movies stuck in development hell") it looks like they're trying for a 2008 release for the "Watchmen" film, with Zack Snyder (who directed 300) at the helm. This test shot of Rorschach that was inserted into a 300 trailer for one frame looks rather promising:
And yet, on IMDb.com, Keanu Reeves is listed as set to play Dr. Manhattan. What the hell, Hollywood?!
When I was in grade school (I believe it was sixth grade or so), my class's English book had the script for "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street." How awesome is that?
By the way, I was the only kid in class that watched Twilight Zone, so I already knew what was gonna happen.
I don't have as many problems with remembering the prequels while watching the originals as I thought I would, because I've only seen ROTS once (in the theatre). I own the DVD, and I've tried to watch it 4 different times, and every time I've fallen asleep about 20 minutes in.
I'm starting to get more and more "Star Wars '77 Only" as time goes by. I still really enjoy ESB, and certain parts of ROTJ (pretty much all of the Luke/Vader/Emperor scenes, especially the final lightsaber duel....also Leia's scenes in Jabba's Palace, only for completely different reasons.). Since I saw ROTJ first, it was hard for me to watch the original without the sequels in mind, but I'm slowly getting to the point where it's the only one that I really care to watch repeatedly (it's also the only Star Wars movie on my iPod at the moment). The Radio Drama is great though!
Yes, because Christianity is SOOO much worse than using mind-altering substances that could permanently damage and/or kill you (see also: Syd Barrett, Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, etc.)
What did Christianity have to do with this conversation, anyway?
I didn't like this movie for several reasons, but one of my particular gripes about it was that they realized that everybody likes Jack Sparrow and they therefore turned him into some kind of stupid cartoon character. The scenes with multiple Jacks made me want to go and slap whichever screenwriter came up with the bright idea in the first place.
