  1. Yes. Yes it was. And Deadpool, too, if you looked closely. Also the Blob and did anyone else think they saw Emma Frost, or was that someone else?
  2. Yeah, Burton's been quoted as saying the Killing Joke is his favorite comic book (despite, when insulting Kevin Smith, saying that he won't read comic books) but there's nothing of The Killing Joke in the cartoonish, campy Joker that he put into his movie. The Dark Knight and (yes I'll say it again) Return of the Joker are the closest we've gotten to having that Joker on screen.
  3. Tsk, nothing? A possible Captain America casting and a DKR movie? I know what you guys want. You want the Wolverine trailer, don't you? Try to ignore the screaming fans and watch it while it's up:
  4. Some random (and some pretty major) news from Comicon: -A Silver Surfer spin-off movie hasn't been completely cancelled. Producers are waiting to see how Wolverine does (as if there's really a comparison) before they decide to go ahead with it or not. -Zac Snyder and his Watchmen cast brought a new extended and more graphic trailer for the film. Hopefully it'll be online sometime soon. -John Barrowman, of Torchwood fame, has hinted that he's in talks to possibly star in Marvel's Captain America picture. I haven't seen Torchwood so I can't speak to his acting ability, but holy crap, the guy looks the part. If he's at all a decent actor, I can get behind this. -Chris Evans says that there are no current plans for a third Fantastic Four film, and his option is running out. -Clips were shown of the new ultra-violent Punisher film. Word is that the violence is very intense and the film is given a gritty 70's, almost grindhouse feel. Director Lexi Alexander didn't make it to the con due to being on her honeymoon, but there are rumors circulated that both she and the composer have been fired from the project altogether. Meanwhile, star Ray Stevenson says he had so much fun filming that he'll come back for Punisher films as long as the studios and fans will let him. -Frank Miller and his Spirit cast brought three clips to the con to try to convince people that the movie is not Sin City 2. Word is, it wasn't very convincing. -Speaking of Frank Miller, he has apparently given 300 and Watchmen's Zac Snyder permission to direct a film version of The Dark Knight Returns! Additionally, I don't think this was at Comicon but it was a recent announcement and it does have a six degrees of separation kinda thing with Miller. MGM has officially greenlit a fourth Robocop film - not a reboot as many have speculated, but a direct sequel, though it may take place in a slightly different time. Even more exciting is that they've hired on a writer, David Self (Road to Perdition) and a director, freakin' Darren Aronofsky!
  5. Yeah, but Batman & Robin is the definition of "cruel and unusual".
  6. I liked Jumper a lot more than I expected. It's not a film, but:
  7. I love me some Gattaca (poor Jude Law didn't make the original poster) As for me:
  8. I'd heard it was great, been meaning to Netflix it.
  9. I think that's how Roger Ebert described it too...
  10. And I noticed it when they announced the cast, but it's still funny.
  11. My god, that was a helluva movie. Some thoughts (just so I get to use the spoiler tags in this thread, finally): And I can't help it, I'll never get over it...Batmanuel is in a Batman movie. That just unravels the fabric of the universe.
  12. Likely not, but I'm more interested to see them give it a shot than to watch a fourth two hour long chase scene.
  13. See, in something like From Hell, I'd agree with you (and I think for the most part that film did a fine job of shrinking the story down to size) but what bolsters Watchmen's length isn't really the dialogue but the tangents and layers that Moore put into the story. Of course, there will be plenty of cuts - we already know that the Black Freighter will be reserved for the dvd, and I doubt the movie will cover Rorschach's psychiatric sessions - but there's already things in there that I never thought would make it on screen.
  14. Me too, I'm just amazed at how much of the book Snyder seems to be including. It doesn't seem like it could possibly all fit, especially with his directing style (I firmly believe that 300 was a half hour movie stretched to feature length by slow motion shots).
  15. That's not really fair. It doesn't look like anything right now, that trailer didn't show us a thing. And it still doesn't change my tune that it's about time we get to see the goddamn war.
  16. Watchmen Trailer! Geez, even the trailer has things that I thought for sure would never make a Watchmen film (Vietnam and a trip to Mars?). Zack Snyder (who is now considered a "visionary" apparently) looks to have a done a good job, though - as should probably have been expected - every shot seems to be in slow motion.
  17. I'll just console myself by playing Rock Band until then.
  18. Gaaah! Stop! Stop talking about it! I can't take it anymore!
  19. I just want to punch Frank Miller right in that over-sized nose of his. What the fuck, man? It's sad when the movie hasn't even come out yet and I'm already looking forward to the reboot. (to be fair, despite everything else wrong, Gabriel Macht looks like he was a good choice...at least from what little we've seen of him)
