Mark Millar's set report

[shinlyle]

couldn't agree more. i barfed in my mouth a bit over his glee. i cannot believe he just endorsed this...

saw the trailer on Sunday night with 'American gangster'(good flik) and was wowed over the Matrix ripoff this film is going to be.

this is literally a Matrix ripoff. from the dialogue, the look, the trailers & premise. some of the action looked jokey, angelina delivered lines that made me cringe but nothing was worse than the wanna be morpheus that morgan freeman delivers - it is a mirror of the morpheus rabbit hole speech. and that's how the trailer ends.

no one in the theatre knew what Wanted is, but they know a ripoff when they see one. many groaned.

a great comic has been pooped on.

Preach it.

The fact that SO MANY people are willing to sit their asses in a theater and watch ANOTHER Matrix-esque movie....with the same basic premise and pitch that we saw back in 99 when the first Matrix movie came out.

is it just me ? or is the audience becoming dull, they love the repetition, they desire nothing innovative and crap sells more than ever. just look at the pop charts... wtf is going on out there?

Everything is too accessible these days with the internet. It's not helping to have all this **** at your fingertips. There is no more anticipation for new entertainment, and it makes everyone just accept whatever is tossed their way.

Agreed on all counts, guys.

Music is so derivative. I haven't heard but a handful of songs that I deem "good" in the past year, and it doesn't look like that's oging to change.

The only films that are "groundbreaking" are the ones that are at the bottom of the box office charts. Whereas the uber-crap movies make a ton. Shrek 3, anyone?

Rest assured, unliks Catwoman In Name Only before it, this film won't fall AS HARD, as it is far more flashy, and isn't directed by a guy with one name...but it'll suck....and people will probably love it.
