EL the Famous

oh man, was that movie AWFUL. only more dissapointing was 'man-thing' and only more dissapointing than that was (fittingly enough) 'howard the duck'. ahhh, cool. i think that'll help.

i thought the second FF was better than the first, but both sucked overall. superman returns bored me to tears. i realize that LL is the quintessential supe nemesis...but he was done to death in the earlier films and spacey did nothing new or exciting w/ the role. what about a bizzaro or braniac or darkseid or metallo or toyman or, hell, even mr. mxyzptlk?

not at all. unlike gollum in LOTR, the hulk in the last flick wasn't 'played' by the same guy who played bruce banner. granted, my recollection of the abomination is a little foggy, so i don't recall if he was a big 'talker' or not. bringing hellboy back into the mix, the bulk of that charachter in it's actual 'super' incarnation was truly played by an actor...again, the hulk, was not so much.

yeah, but will it be he or a CGI creation that actually plays the Abomination...big diff.

well, as long as there is some sort of decent villain pay-off...

Tully, i thought i remember you saying something about The Leader as an additional bad guy as well...is that legit?

Yes. No. No. Thank God. I was extremely dissapointed w/ the Hulk flick, but i'm very excited about the new one.

yeah, it's funny, because a lot of (at least older-school mainstream Marvel/DC) comics have that comedic/one-liner element to them...but, as in the case of the last Spiderman movie, they seem to go overboard with it in film. as stated though, they found the right mix for Hellboy...dark, but funny where appropriate.

ahhhh, but the chimp face wasn't for you...i think your comment was dead on. the guys is a prick and an even bigger one should these claims be substantiated, but i'm hard pressed to defend the near-tabloid journalism going on here. it's not news, it's speculation.

YOU THINK?

a-man, you made my day...i knew a sequel was in the works, but haven't been paying attention online about any of the details. first one was badass. iron man, batman, hellboy...what a fucking summer!

this thread is something.

the cool kids are not just DJ's, they are MC's as well.

'you're a handsome fellow...what's your name?'

yeah, i liked the musical aspects of it...the whole relationship angle in the book/film ended up kind of tired. personally, especially at the time it came out, i identified way more w/ him in GPB...sans the hitman thing.

HOORAY! So glad to see so much love for that flick and I may have to watch it again myself this week. Funny enough, as much as I should have loved High Fidelity...i only marginally enjoyed it. Not bad, but nowhere near GPB.

fixed it.

don't listen to gary, he's jewish.

happy b-day, matt!

are you going to answer my question in the other thread?

for someone who doesn't believe in mysticism...you sure have one hell of a crystal ball.
