I've thought about that myself, but I doubt it. There is an expectation to Hulk. Even with post TDK, I don't think audience would still be looking for a more cerebral Hulk film.

James Dean didn't really impress me as an actor.
Swingers was nothing special

Which is true...however....unfortunately.

I liked the movie but didn't love it, but I still think that Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley were both really great in Shutter Island and deserved a best supporting actor nomination at the Oscars this year.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Ruffalo does with Bruce Banner. I liked Bana but thought he was a bit miscast and Norton, even though he seemed like a better fit for the role, didn't do much for me. Oh and Ang Lee's Hulk as flawed as it is is still better than TIH.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Yuss, I'm very excited to see Ruffalo as banner

Let's just hope he can break the hulk curse.

 

[Gentleman Owl]

James Bond sucks.
Never Let Me Go was a poor rip off of Unwind and made perhaps one of the most exciting and most haunting novels I ever read, insanely ****ing boring.

Nothing against Ruffalo but I think being part of the Avengers is the worst thing for the Hulk.

Out of the 3, Edward Norton LOOKS most like Bruce Banner to me...

True.

 

[Dark Victory]

. I prefer The Blob remake over Carpenter's Thing

. Naked Lunch is Cronenberg's best movie

Never Let Me Go came out before Unwind.

 

[Gentleman Owl]

...Huh?

Unwind was published in 2007. .N.ever Let .Me. go came out in 201.0.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The novel in which Never Let Me Go is based came out in 2005

 

[Gentleman Owl]

And is the film actually anything like the novel?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Haven't watched either, but the general consensus seems to say so, yes. Can't think of anything that's been said that states the film shifts the story to any radical degree.

 

[Gentleman Owl]

Fair enough, then I was incorrect in the 'rip off of Unwind' comment. However I still think Unwind was a better story, even if that was technically the rip off.

The book is better as is often the case, but the film is actually pretty good too. Specially the acting and the visuals. Garfield and Mulligan are great (Knightley a little less) and Romanek is a really good director.
It might be a little slow and long, but the emotion is there.

_ I didn't think Paul was very good. Unfortunately, it seems that each new Pegg/Frost movie is inferior to the previous one (granted they started pretty high with Shaun).
I hope they reverse the pattern with the next one, because they make a really good comedic duo.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

James Bond sucks.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

I have to agree, I find Bond movies to be really boring.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I never cared much for Bond, either

Guys added to my hit list:

Gentlemen Owl

Add me all you want, you can't take me

I think this is the second time I've been put on this list lol.
