Re: Best superhero actor?
I should clarify that I'm okay with the Howard Hughes swap, now .. it's just that, at the time the movie was released, it struck my younger, less-tolerant self as 'wrong' .. especially considering that so many other details from the comic -- the GeeBee, Bulldog Cafe, Lothar, etc -- were incredibly ...

Re: Best superhero actor?
There *is* action in the movie, but it's drowned by the songs: for instance, the big montage in the middle of the movie is almost crushed by Madonna's slow and sultry Sooner Or Later playing over the top of it. This moment needed a big Danny Elfman score riffing over it, In the trailers and ads, we...

Re: EW best/worst songs list
Yeah, didn't mean to trash it or anything...I'm actually a huge Titanic fan (and I love the soundtrack) just never cared much for that song. But I just don't understand them bashing COTW...Pocahontas had a great, great soundtrack and score even if the film had its flaws. COTW is the most beautiful ...

Re: Best superhero actor?
As I think I've stated before elsewhere on this forum, I was actually not fond of The Rocketeer upon its 1991 release. The movie made several changes to the comic-book's narrative which my 'twenty-something' self found unforgivable; not least, swapping-out Doc Savage for Howard Hughes as the invent...

Re: New Scooby Doo movie defines being size 8 as a "curse"
Of course, she looks waaaaaay bigger than a "size 8" in those pictures. If the movie actually describes her as a "size 8" when she is heavy, they are way off. THAT I'll hold them accountable for. We don't need weight portrayed as a "curse" on a children's cartoon show even if it does supposedly "mo...

Re: New Scooby Doo movie defines being size 8 as a "curse"
I'm sure there are many little girls who look up to Daphne. They're too young to understand "satire" or "exaggeration." If she was in her trademark purple, maybe. But here, they're dressing native in Frankenstein-Bavarian, and she's in a Frau Blucher dress, no less. I'd call that exaggeration, and ...

Re: New Scooby Doo movie defines being size 8 as a "curse"
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5694539?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000046 Ugh! What kind of message is this sending to kids??

Re: Official Star Wars Thread
Not really. It's only a few extreme-hard-core "original Original Trilogy only" fans who are that bothered about it. Everyone else already has one, if not multiple, versions of the movies anyway And of those, most only want the original Ep. IV, could take or leave the original Ep. VI, and don't even...

Re: Betty Boop: The Movie
Because, after all, if there's one thing that's all the rage with kids these days, it's Betty Boop. I'm a little baffled by this one, really. Like Mighty Mouse, she's one of those characters that everyone sees , in iconic marketing, but nobody really knows about, and gets producers and licensors to...

Re: Betty Boop: The Movie
And slightly better than that pop-resurrection movie we got in the 80's, that seemed to have barely heard of the character either.
