too much spiderman in here.

What are your fave comic book super hero/villain characters anyway Reek? Were you a big reader of Marvel/DC back in the day or any other company, or was that just not your bag? Know them more from toons and films?
 
When you play the Game of Bones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
 
The making of that movie would make for a great season of the show Feud. It could be Marlon Brando vs. Val Kilmer vs. Everyone

Who would they get to play Brando?

Unless Bruce Campbell starts wearing a Spider-Man mask at some orgy in Season 3 of Ash vs the Evil Dead...then yes.

I can get into that.

Say that and you're just asking for more Spiderman. :smgs:

not sure i've met you before.

Superman... films... Well... I'll be honest... they are overrated a **** with Reeve... and frankly just decent. Returns was TFA to me so sucked because it was a rehash. MoS was refreshing but didn't quite hit how it should have... and as with all of Snyders work... editing sucks balls.

edit: when THIS teaser hit... I was like "ok... finally... we've got it. This is going to be enormous." ...and well.. no.

 
Few new faces in the lounge today... good. I was getting hungry.
 
I actually haven't gotten a chance to see Logan yet. I've gotten to the point where I hate seeing superhero movies in theaters... all the ******** cheers and clapping when something happens... meh.. .just **** and watch the movie.. I don't need to hear "YEAH!!!! WOOO!!!!" clap clap clap every time someone comes on screen
 
When I saw Man of Steel, people clapped when the neck snapping happened.
 
What did YOU think of LOGAN Sanchez?

I loved it! First time going, there were a bunch of girls laughing in pretty intense/serious scenes which ruined it for me, and I couldn't really form a proper opinion on the movie because there was so much to take in. But then on 2nd viewing I absolutely loved it and can't wait to get it on bluray because I know I'll watch it over and over again!

I love how the story is so simple but the emotions, dialogue, acting and the rawness of it all really made it something else. I also love how there aren't many main characters.
 
yea i would have stood and applauded too had i been able to stomach the first half of the movie.
 
I'm glad the theaters home were quiet with super hero sequels last decades, same goes for Harry Potter sequels, Revenge of the Sith, and that third Pokemon movie.
 
Considering the two movies, it really isn't.

I adore the first TASM. The second is a mess. But even being a mess the film's quality has little to do with a crowd of people cheering when the hero's love dies. I just find that ****ing weird.

Maybe they were as annoyed as I was by the love story, or they were happy she was able to finally escape the worst Peter Parker I have had the displeasure of watching.

I remember cheering like crazy for the baddie to kill everyone in Avatar. :funny:
 
they cheered because its an iconic comic book moment. i cant stand it when people find that necessary.

Eh... I prefer TAS-M1 to a lot of elements in the Raimi films, which includes comically sad sack Maguire. Don't get me wrong, both S-M1 and S-M2 are landmark super hero flicks with the second one being a classic for all time... but I prefer a lot more Garfield who comes off as a real human being to Toby. Then again for myself Raimi's characterization of everything in Peter's life including his characterization had heavy artifice going on. The high school stuff especially felt like it was done by someone who hadn't been in a high school since the late 1960's. I also have forever felt that S-M1 has a really abrupt ending that's always hurt it in my eyes. I'll cut out of this convo now since I am sure the usual complaints about TAS-M1 are coming, and I honestly just don't agree with them and think the criticisms are often way overblown.

I am in agreement with most talk about TAS-M2. About 75% of tht film is terribly conceived for some reason, which as much as it's on the heads of Sony and Webb... Well I also think the fan outcry over TAS-M1's supposed sins played a part in the overcompensation in the follow up.
 
and because they were annoyed wth the love story! shame on Dennis Leary for ever being a part of it!

I have grown to like Spider-Man 1 a lot more over the years, though I don't find it all that great. I appreciate the Batman '89 "timelessness" to it more now then I did. Its Spider-Man, he is from the 60s. He's a 60s goofball. My love for Spider-Man 2 fluctuates, but I still regard it pretty highly.

I like TASM a lot when it came out. I think it was my personal reaction to Raimi's films. But it just doesn't do much for me now. There are still things I like, but overall its jut blah for me. TASM2 is such an obvious Sony movie, I don't even know how much one can honestly blame Webb. He gave them what they wanted.
