RUDD!!! Damn your sexy ways. Ha! Thats awesome! Reminds me of that SNL episode he hosted years ago, when he was promoting Role Models, I think. Anyway it was awesome and had to be the gayest episode ever, but in a good way. Probably one of the best since the early ninties and definately the best episode of the most recent cast. I wonder why he can't be more like that in his movies because he's kind of weak as a straight man. He should be more like he was in Wet Hot American Summer, some awesome lines in that like : "UGGH! You taste like a hamburger! I don't like you anymore! also he was pretty funny in his Delocated cameo. So I'd wish Paul Rudd would do something different because his current act is getting stale and has proven he could be funny instead of being the set-up guy.

Where's Gamera! Okay his 60's-70's movies were pretty bad especally after the first one. But the ninties trilogy was amazing probably better than most of the dreck that Godzilla has been in since the late seventies. So I'd say he should at least be in the conversation as he is a pretty well known movie monster, almost as popular as Godzilla.
So I vote Hot chick in sig! Out of protest! But honestly if it was Godzilla, King Kong or Gamera I'd vote for Godzilla but it'd be a very close call.

Yeah really hope this happens and I want Del Toro to direct anything at this point. Sort of sad he wont be doing The Hobbit. However I almost wonder how this will be made as it isn't totally accessible to most audiences,as has no romantic storyline very dry but very confusing plot and really a very depressing ending. But if this news is true and Del Toro and Cameron are part of the creative process of this movie than it should be amazing probably like if you combined Abyss with Pan's Labyrinth. Although to be totally honest I'd much rather see a true adaptation of Frankenstein done by Del Toro but this could be really great, but we'll see as I wont believe this is actually happening till casting and filming starts as this has been rumored to being made for years.
Also let me say I'm sort of sad the next project by Del Toro will be the Haunted Mansion. I don't get that at all, eh maybe he could craft a cool story and make it darker and more interesting than the Eddie Murphy movie, but anything would be better than that.

saw Primer last night. Really interesting concept but the dialogue was a little too dry and too much tecnobabble and hard to get into but the plot was very interesting and had a really awesome ending. I feel I have too watch it again to really get it though, so it might go up to 3 stars after a second viewing.
**3/4 stars

Ha! Yeah I forgot about that! I loved that version of Aquaman he was cool and very well written. Honestly if they made him more like that from the start than people would have better view of Aquaman. Also I have a question, what makes Aquaman so cool in Batman: The Brave and the Bold? I haven't seen the show but I keep on hearing he's really awesome in the show. So explain why he's so cool on that show.

Okay. I've denied it long enough, but it's time for me to face facts: the Miami Heat are winning the 2011 NBA Championship. I didn't think they could piece together a decent enough bench, but they've done just that. Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem and Eddie House are three very solid options off the bench, and are good enough to spell James, Wade and Bosh when they leave every game leading by 25 in the fourth quarter. They also signed Žydrūnas Ilgauskas. So that's another passable body they have to come off the bench. So now they do have some depth, but I still worry if the big three don't get in done in a game what they'll do. But they are by far the most dangerous team in the NBA. Although I could almost see them get tripped up in the East by the Celtics, Bulls and the Magic. But after getting past that I don't think any team in the west can compete with them. Maybe the Lakers but that's questionable.

To answer the OP's question, he's still being in stuff in fact he just made this movie "I love You Phillip Morris" where he plays a gay con man who does all these ridiculous illegal plans for his boyfriend played by Ewan McGergor. It's actually based on true story and it's pretty good, I think it's coming out later this year but I already saw it and really enjoyed it.

I think probably in comics Namor is better than Aquaman. However I feel Aquaman would translate to screen much better than Namor. The thing is Namor doesn't come off as sympathetic most of the time and he can heroic, but at the same time comes off as very cold which I doubt audiences would get. He'd maybe make a decent villain in a Fantastic Four movie, but thats about it for Namor.
However as Aquaman goes he's basically a blank slate. No one really knows anything about his back story except he can communicate with sea life. So you can take liberties with his character and not get people mad if they change things and if written by a good writer it could make Aquaman man really cool. Also if DC wants to do a Justice League movie it'd make sense to introduce him first and get people familiar with him. I mean they are doing a Superman reboot, Batman 3, Green Lantern. So it could make sense to do that and also do Wonder Woman and The Flash. I mean who wouldn't want to see a Justice League movie. So right now that makes Aquaman more important since I doubt people would be clamoring to see Namor in The Avengers.

I vote no way on this. I mean he was rumored to be going to TNA since he retired in April. Sort of reminds me of 1996 when Shawn Micheals was rumored to be jumping to WCW every week to join the nWo.

I just saw the leaked Comic-con footage and oh my god it's great! I don't think I can post it but I'll describe it. The guy playing Thor does a great job and starts off the "trailer" with kicking the crap out SHIELD agents while being interrogated by Agent Coulson. Than it goes to Asgard where Odin is meeting with Thor and Loki and Odin banishes Thor for starting a war in Asgard and putting all Asgardians in danger is sent to Earth stripped of his powers. Than he discovered by Jane Foster who is going to help Thor find his hammer, although most people think he's a crazy hobo, so they go to New Mexico to claim him his Mjöllnir to gain his powers back. Back in Asgard Odin dies and Loki becomes the new King of Asgard and goes to Earth to conquer it with in tow The Destroyer and a bunch of Asgardians. So it's up to Thor to save the day
Honestly this seems great, also I like that it seems like an equal split of stuff on Earth and on Asgard and Thor protecting Earth from the Asgardians seems cool. So I'm up to paying money to see it. Although it does suck it's not coming out till next year. Oh and to all the insane fanboys yes he does wear his helmet but probably for his time in Asgard. Really think about would it make sense for him to wear it on Earth?

Oh man I just did a marathon watching fest of this show and it awesome and hilarious. Simon Pegg is the star and he plays a pizza delivery man that unfairly gets locked up in an asylum with inmates that were once sane but were tricked into going utterly insane, when they volunteered to come. Stand out performances have to be Jessica Stevenon (Spaced) as Martha/Nurse McFadden and Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) as the the insane, dark brooding Victor Munro who before coming to the asylum was a painter/decorator but was driven made by being locked in room only filled with Renaissance art. The style of the show is mostly in monologues which are very funny and really makes the characters insanity really come out to you and really feel bad for them but at the same time laugh at them especially with Adam Bloom's never-ending comedy act and Martha's schizophrenic insanity of getting messages on daytime tv and being abducted by aliens. Really amazing tv show.

Watchmen weirds me out in that there's a crowd that absolutely hates it, and then there's a crowd that loved it. I'm in that camp, it was pretty much a direct translation of the graphic novel with only one major change, and I was happy with that. Soundtrack was great too. Just commenting on that. Second, it's weird too because I'd really like to know what they didn't like about it but never seem to get a really straight answer. Anyhoo, I'll vote for Spiderman 3. Of what I've seen from the list, it's the only one that really got me angry. Basically I hated Watchmen because the whole mood and theme of the movie was totally off. Something about just seemed wrong, it looked good and contained a lot of stuff in the comic but it just felt completely wrong, I don't know if it was the acting or the directing but it just didn't work also there was very little feeling that the world was in utter jeopardy and Oxymandias did his actions to save humanity as that was a huge point in the book, but was made to feel like a very minuscule part of the movie. Also Niteowl beating the crap out of Ozymandias made very little sense and making him so heroic completely undid the movie for me as the point was he's a guy who goes with the flow, who dosen't make a huge moral stand and so that was bad, If anything they should have made Ozymandias feel more heroic since he is doing to save humanity and sees himself as the new Alexander the Great and yet in the movie everything about him screamed villain of the movie and made his inner struggle of killing some people to save the world non-important and completely glanced over. Also giving Doctor Manhattan's lines at the end to Silk Spectre and Niteowl was awful. It's small stuff like that ruined this movie. They did try but Watchman was a lot of subtle actions that makes it an amazing read, really it just doesn't lend itself to a theatrical movie at all. Maybe a mini-series could worked but a movie? No and especially not by Zach Snyder who really missed the entire point of the graphic novel by focusing on making the characters too cool when that's the opposite point. So basically it was number one an uphill battle to be good in the first place with all the expectations of this as it is viewed as one of the best graphic novels ever made and the limitations of being in a 2hr 30 minute movie and than completely misinterpreting the message of the book and botching most of the characters in the movie. So basically that why I despised this movie.

Bugs Bunny was the first really cool cartoon character. I don't know I like Bugs Bunny and all but I think I prefer Daffy Duck as a character. To me Bugs Bunny has little flaws and kind of bored me, Daffy had huge flaws but still thought he was amazing and the best thus made me laugh more especially when he got his just deserts. Also I like Porky Pig more since he was a nice guy basically and an awesome straight man character who was great at getting so annoyed, especially at Daffy, oh I guess I have throw Elmer Fudd since without him Bugs wouldn't of had such great moments. So while I think those were better and I remember more of their cartoons than I do of ones with just Bugs, but than again you needed a main star and really you couldn't do that with Porky Pig or Daffy Duck, just not as marketable, as Bugs Bunny.

For those saying Daredevil are you talking about the theatrical release or the director's cut. The theatrical release was horrid. But, the director's cut of the film is probably my all-time favorite superhero movie. Basically shows how dumb Fox is terrible decision doing that, as it was actually a pretty decent movie. Although that being said I still say they remake it with a better lead as it was obvious Ben Affleck wasn't comfortable or a right choice to play Daredevil and same goes for Garner as Elektra. A new movie with better casting and a darker tale would be great, As the Frank Miller Daredevil stories are so good and I feel would give Dark Knight a run for it's money keep the main villains too of Kingpin and Bullseye but just work on the script and make it grittier, dirtier and basically be noir-ish but still keep a little of the superhero aspect of the character.

The movie was awesome. Best DC Animated film since Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker or even Batman Mask of the Phantasm. What impressed me was the depth of the story as in most of these movies the plot is completely secondary but they did an awesome job and tell a phenomenal story and really bring you in to the story of Jason Todd. Honestly going into this I wasn't expecting much. I always thought of Jason Todd being lame and hating him as Robin, although I felt the death of him was absurd and horrible decisoin instead of trying to fix him they killed him in a terrible way. Also I never read the Under the Hood storyline which this is based on but from it didn't interest me. However the way they told the story of Jason Todd made me gain appetaiaton for him and think of him as a character with vast potential if written well.
Sort of a shame this was released on DVD when so much crap is in theaters lately. Really felt very bad for Jason Todd as he was completely brutalized in this movie and sadly is still a bitter kid who will never get over being killed by the Joker, which he shouldn't as it was completely awful and honestly he was basically manipulated by Batman to be his soldier.
Joker was awesome! Sort of a mix of Mark Hamil's Batman from the animated series mixed with the Joker from the Dark Knight and he had Hamil's funny sad with Ledger's sick, twisted sociopath/psychopathic demeanor which you needed as he needed to be funny while having make sense that he's bash Jason Todd's brains in and I feel they accomplished that. Batman was alright not amazing, too similar to the animated series and was not a huge fan of the Black Mask at all and thought they could have done more with him than just yelling random sentences looking like an utter moron which begs the question of how did he unite the entire Gotham City Underworld? Also not a huge fan of the ending but understood why they went there and made sense to Todd's rationale for what he was doing so it wasn't bad, but came off as too much of whining and poor me sentiments from Todd. But all in all a great, fun movie with a very deep plot with little cliques which is very, very rare in superhero animated features, great job by DC Animation. Hopefully they could keep this quality of work with Batman Year One and All Star Superman.
**** stars

An Alberto Del Rio vignette aired... Backstage, C.M. Punk asked the rest of the SES which one was going to let him down. He smelled Serena's breath and told her thanks for showing up sober. He complained about Joey Mercury losing his mask. He said none of them would be anything without him. He pleaded with them to actually do something and said they should pack their bags if they don't. 2. Big Show beat Luke Gallows by DQ. There was a funny spot where Show called for the ring announcer to put the mic next to Luke's chest before he chopped it. This was probably during the commercial break. In the end, the rest of SES jumped Show for the DQ. They continued to attack Show and did a spot with the ring steps that left Show lying. Punk removed his sling to show that his arm is fine. Ha! Awesome! This is why Punk is my favorite wrestler right now. The only two wrestlers I can even cheer for are Punk and Jericho and well maybe Kane if stays a face, although not holding my breath on that one.
