Yes, it's supposed to be his origin story up until he's found frozen. If they just use the first issue of The Ultimates as a guide, then the film should work amazingly well. However…

I go back and forth. Sometimes I think Joel lets stuff off to easily, but he seems to have genuine affection for trash. Mike seems insulted by the idea that someone made this stuff instead of something decent to show people for entertainment purposes.

I don't think The Room needs a screening. Without people yelling at the screen and throwing shit, you can really pay attention to what the film is: a sort-of-rich man's attempt to rewrite a chunk of his history so he's the good guy and the woman who smashed his heart is the worst human being of all time, as are all…

Yes, although some of them aren't necessarily bad, but just…weird. First Spaceship to Venus isn't a bad movie at all, as Joel says during it, and I have great affection for Time Chasers, the Finnish-Soviet films, and Danger: Diabolik as films that tried, dammit, which is a lot more than you can say for stuff like the…

JLA
His run on JLA was amazing. It straddled the line between GoldenAge/ Silver Age/ Marvel Age better than almost anything out there. He really understands how to mix the more modern super hero stories with the archetypes from the previous ages. Also incredible, for the same reasons, his 3-part JLA Classified story,…

My list, just for the hell of it:
1. Nashville — it just gets better and better the more you watch it, and the ending is one of the most beautiful pieces of satire ever, pushing the idea (truthful) that American never considers its past, and just moves on towards the future, regardless.
1. McCabe and Mrs. Miller — one…

If they follow Alan Moore's take, it'll be great, esp. if Fincher does it.

Oh, he's got some problems, to be sure, but he gets better as the film goes when he doesn't have to carry the whole thing. I think that as a low budget film, it shows some creativity, and it uses the old rule of "use what you've got" for low budget filmmaking — such as a junior college, some small planes, a coffee cup…

Absolutely. The two leads aren't bad at all, but are surrounded by a horrid supporting cast. And once they get out of showing "the future" — which they really can't, given the budget — and settle on a plot to follow, it's not a bad, low budget sci fi film. It actually has some very nice pacing once they hit the…

My story involves a Denny's, an early morning breakfast, and a friend who was a huge fan who got to talk Ronnie's ear off for an hour while he just smiled and was as polite as could be, all the while eating two Grand Slams at the same time. Damned nice guy, and even though his music wasn't my taste, he did have an…

Damned good stuff. Even though you pretty much know what will happen, the way he says goodbye to Rose is a killer.

Watch through the entire "Save the Cheerleader" arc, and then stop. I've said it before, but I really don't think they planned for it to last much longer than that arc, due to low ratings. But it became a hit, and they've been scrambling ever since. God, I hope that's the explanation. I'd hate to think they planned…

One of the best moments in the new series. I love that you can tell the Dalek is saying "Exterminate!" in the vacuum of space by the way its "bulbs" light up. I didn't know Jack was coming back at the time, so his initial "death" was pretty hardcore.

Doctor Who — Mild Spoilers
While he doesn't really "die" when he regenerates, there's always this feeling that he is dying, since, as he himself put it, "Someone else goes running off in my trousers." David Tennant's final scenes are remarkable, and maybe the first two-thirds of the final episodes aren't worth the…

It manages to turn itself around at about the halfway mark, when it stops trying to be anything other than the satire it is, without any attempts at seriousness, which do drag down the first half. And I have to admit, I thought the play's main idea had some merit, even if it's thoroughly ridiculous. I've seen dumber…

Who's playing Peter Vincent?

Funniest Scene…
… is when Max Von Sydow is about to head into "The Wilderness". And as the music swells, they hand him his tools, ending with them handing him the most ridiculously over-the-top looking laser rifle ever. All I could think of was what he would have done with that in The Seventh Seal. I laughed out loud…

Shite! Thanks, AC1K.

Wow. You're right — the resemblance is startling.

Sorry: "Elizabeth".
