I liked the Affleck Daredevil movie, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I have been hooted down or dismissed out of hand more times than I can count for saying this, but there you go. (Also, screw the snobs, I liked The Phantom with Billy Zane, and even Alec Baldwin’s Shadow has grown on me).

I am ready for my public berating. I enjoyed watching the Watchmen more than I enjoyed reading it.

I’ve always read Supes as a pretty somber fellow, so the evolution in the films towards Man of Steel didn’t bother me one iota. And anyone who thinks Snyder was heavier on the Christ metaphor is simply not recalling or is willfully misremembering because of nostalgia or whatever how BLATANTLY DIRECT the first Superman…

In fact, I think Hollywood would be delighted if nerds gave up on comic movies, because then they wouldn’t have to waste their time trying satiate a small, vocally, nearly-impossible-to-please minority.

Visually, this movie DOES NOT hold up well at all. But dammit, I still enjoy John Leguizamo’s Clown in Spawn and I will never apologize for that; I’ll just watch it by myself with a bottle of whiskey because no one else will join me.

Couldn’t we just selectively breed..., oh that’s right; we’re breeding indiscriminately.

I get the feeling it will sort itself out naturally. Eventually people will start dying off and things will come to an equilibrium.

I am pleasantly surprised to see this post was from James instead of Kathrine. So there are at least 2 writers here who realize Star Wars films from the 90s did a great job of increasing the scope of their world and introducing new tech to the movie industry.

It’s hard to include an image of my trend, but I would say the worst thing to happen to genre movies is typically people over-analyzing things like “what are the worst trends in genre movies”.
