Not to go all "Eric" on ya, but... you're tangent-ing again, Georgie. ;) But going back to your points on casting an older actor for Spidey: I have to disagree. Stunts aren't a concern when you have stuntmen wearing the mask, or having CGI do all the heavy lifting. And I didn't expect a 15 year old ...

I always thought that, as much as Ramai got right, he pigeon-holed himself too much by introducing MJ too fast. He gave her the Gwen Stacey role, and Gwen herself only came into being once Peter was at College. Bringing in MJ right away really limited them in the sequels. Going back to high school i...

Wow. I wasn't expecting a photo so soon. Not sure what to say. I guess I should have known they'd change the costume, but I kinda wish they'd have kept it closer to the original (though it's fairly close already). It's not bad, though. Now how about a new Captain America photo from the same site? ht...

Bottom line: The direction makes it better than it should be. Just a really entertaining action film.

I finally found the link to the story on the Cap serial. I knew I'd read it somewhere in the past year: http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2010_04_03.html#018754 ------------------------------------------------ As for the Hornet movie, I've warmed up to it since seeing the trailer. It might be a fun...

I've preordered that Green Hornet serials set. I have them on VHS, and have been hoping to upgrade. It sounds like VCI did a nice job on them. I held off 'til now due to the price for them individually, but the new set with both serials is a bargain (I got it for $20). From what I recall, they're re...

Actually, I was mistaken when I typed that. It was just 12 dollars for all three seasons! eBay doesn't offer a lot of deals for recent releases, since they tend to be in greater current demand, but older sets sometimes go for very little. (I've recently also gotten Sealab 2021 sets and BCI Filmation...

You've all convinced me. I just got the first 3 seasons off eBay for $16. Good deal, eh?

I've caught very little of the show on TV, but liked what I saw.

We hope to post them very soon. (I'm anxious to find out the results myself!) We had hoped to have them up by now, but other issues have delayed that post. Stay tooned, and we'll have those up ASAP. :)

I watched the video promoting the Blu-rays, and I'll be darned--- I still got a tingle up my spine watching those scenes. Aside from the frustrating lack of original versions, it's sure to be an impressive set.

I think we really need to see things in action before we judge too much. I suppose many people will hate it for its mo-cap no matter what, despite the fact that we all mostly loved Gollum in LOTR. But with the talents involved, this film could end up pretty darn fine... if not awesome. In the meanti...

Well, I was reluctant, probably... at least initially before all the good word of mouth. I'm just not into dragons and mythology, generally, so the subject matter biased me against it. Plus, I expected a Shrek-like goofy film, only to be surprised to hear all the praise for it. I only see a few flic...
