Retarted? Can you even remake a strawberry tart after it has been made?

Anyway, it seems from the synopsis that the Fantastic Four are going to be the main focus of this novel (with some intertwined mystery solving bits from the wonder twins)

I agree with almost every single one of Warbler's choices, that is a really great list.

So its concluded that only 2 seconds of that movie could be remade today?

I've been playing Sid Meier's Pirates! and I suggest that anyone that enjoys action/adventure games and especially if you loved the old Pirates! game to go find a copy of it and play it.

Did you hear they're bringing Naruto to CN? From what I've heard, they are going to completely screw that show up with all of the censoring.

What he says about everything else?

I've been putting off seeing Akira for a while, I'm definitely going to see if I can find that as well.

Yeah, I've seen it a few times, they might as well have had that version of "Peter Parker" hosting TRL because he sure as hell isn't the Peter Parker thats behind the Spiderman mask.

<prediction tongue="in-cheek">
If TS3 does get released, Generation Y will create its own set of forums called OriginalToyStory.com (That's OTS.com for short) and complain about how Disney raped their childhood. Jimb0 will likely join that board and clutter it up in defense of Eisner's creative decisions for the past decade. DanielB, who has never edited a spec of video, will come on and complain about how the second issue of "bloopers" and the digital remastering for the Toy Story 2 DVD are heresy because they destroyed the entire vibe of its theatrical release. Then he'll tell everybody how they can restore it and improve upon it. Then he'll dump all over Toy Story 3, and though they'll agree with his analysis, he'll already be hated by the entire community and be told to F' Off.

I dunno if they can pull something like that off, Spiderman just isn't as serious as Batman.

BTW, has anybody heard of the video of the guy from Japan beating Mario III in just 11 minutes? I thought I read somewhere that it was faked. Does anybody know anything about this??

I'm pretty sure he was using an emulator to do this.

But its what the average american sees as anime, and as long as that continues we cannot have a serious animated film in theaters, anime or otherwise.

I wish there were more serious theatrically released animated films as well, but it wouldn't happen in america because the average(the majority) american adult is under the notion that they are only for kids(which includes adults who haven't seen anime or think all anime consists of is some odd sort of porn or Yu-gi-oh).

I've played all of the earlier Lego games, they were pretty mediocre but mildly amusing, I expect this to be more of the same.

Neil has a good point, the image "quality" might be "good" as you would say, but they are horrible looking in regards to color levels and added special effects.

The color saturation is different, right? I noticed in RotJ the Jabba's palace sequence is really heavy on earth tones... Which makes sense on a dessert planet, but it will take some getting used to. ANH and ESB looked just like my VHS tapes color wise, though, so I don't see the problem.

You haven't seen the lobster man in ANH have you? And look how screwed up Luke's saber on the Falcon (easily corrected by changing the color levels).

No, Fleming didn't write a DAD novel.

But there is a Raymond Benson novelization that is supposedly superior to the movie version.

Probably so, that game hasn't had a sequel for a long time though, maybe its just fanboy wishing.
