How else are you supposed to send cartoons of middle eastern dictators launching missiles out of camel's mouths by smashing their comically large testicles?

A sentient AI also dovetails nicely into some of themes covered in Cap 2.

If they can convince Sony it's a useful marketing tool it could happen. Unlike the X-Men they idea of self-contained Spider-Man "universe" is a much tougher proposition.

Russell T. Davies...

Let me spin out an alternative scenario:

Disney agrees with you.

Booty booty!

Have you seen the Ken Burns documentary on the subject?

I'm okay with the redesign as long as it keeps the "kicked in the nuts 100 times" voice.

I was impressed that they managed to make something that looked more like a dildo than an actual penis. "Strap on, everyone! We're taking off!"

The Thor and Hulk events could easily be chalked up to "testing" since it had no material effect on the plot.

Maybe you should find some buddhists. In particular the "Hardcore Dharma" movement might be something you'd enjoy given what you described above.

I'd Say X-Wing/Tie Fighter over Jar Jar.

My version of this fantasy is that they go in and re-animate the (frankly terrible) original animated series episodes with new music and effects, but keep the original cast recordings.

If you want me to believe it you have to at least mention it. Also, as Kenny mentions, there wouldn't be any dampeners in the first version for sure. On the other hand, when you've been turned into pink slime you no longer have to worry about your heart anymore.

EVERY time he lands.

I like Harkaway, but I'm a little dubious when the "literary" label starts getting tossed around as a point of difference.

Who's hammered now? :-)

The Dalek sensor bumps on the left is your first clue that it's not 40K. The stunning lack of head-tubes would be the second one.

I'm a big fan of Ayer. End of Watch is the closest thing I've seen to "great television" style storytelling in a traditional film. It can feel a bit unfulfilling, but it's nice to walk out of a movie wanting *more* sometimes.
