His versatility was astounding. My brother and I grew up on MAD in the 60's, then caught up with the comic-book version later. Jack Davis was a star among stars.

You're thinking of Invaders From Mars.

Well, knock me over with a feather.

I believe it was Lawrence Pressman.

I'm a an old-time Dave Barry fan, but I have to say that the film version of "Big Trouble" sucked, and not just because it starred Tim Allen. I didn't read the book, but if it was the source of all the forced, unfunny, ridiculous, 'zany' coincidences that make up the movie plot, I'd say Dave should stick to his blog

This has got to be a joke. Jack and the Beanstalk done as a serious big-budget action drama? WTF?

Film version of I, Robot was slick and dull. Funniest part was making Dr. Susan Calvin (man-hating spinster in the original stories) a typical Hollywood hottie scientist, only slightly less ridiculous than Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in that Bond movie. Caves of Steel is a murder mystery with very little

De Palma just needs to tone it down.
No questions he's a meticulous stylist with his elaborate camera movements and split-screens. But sometimes it doesn't support the material; it distracts from it.

Shane Black thinks he's funny and talented.
He's not.

Neal Moritz is producer of this crapfest
Not a director.

Doofus likes to piss to mark his territory.
Excellent candidate for Not-Deserving-of-Success award.

One of the best, impossible to find
Hour-long TV movie called 'J.T.' which originally aired as an 'After School Special' back in the 70's. It starred a young Kevin Hooks and was written by Lily Tomlin's writing partner Jane Wagner. It's about a ghetto kid who finds and nurses an injured stray tomcat back to health

Construction mogul = idiot
I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a worse plan to revive Miramax. A sequel to 'Rounders'? Really? What will it be, a 2nd card game? Wow the world can't wait!

Colorless
Is this another episode of the franchise that's basically monochrome? The last one was so relentlessly blue and grey that it might as well have been filmed in black & white.

Who finances
This kind of tedious crappola?

Obvious reason for film's failure.
Did not properly portray gravity on the Moon.

Waste.
A buddy and I looking for sci-fi/horror at the video store got suckered into renting this. The review is spot-on. The movie is unrelentingly drab, ugly and and monotonous. Nothing happens of any interest whatsoever. The filmmakers should've taken the shitpile of money they gathered to make this, and burned

Then who's going to be in it?
Having read the original comic books, my tiny dinosaur brain is confused. Cyclops and Jean Grey ("Marvel Girl") won't be in it? They were two of the original five members. Who the hell are going to be the X-Men?

This movie is 2 years old
Also J-Lo has a lard-ass and the profile of a lizard. Why she is considered attractive is beyond me.
