Well there's also the fact that the story did nothing prior to that point to depict them as anything other than mindless beasts, so suddenly revealing that they're actually sentient beings isn't so much a shocking plot twist as it is bad storytelling.

Can you really call those things Michael Bay makes movies?

Can someone please put a restraining order on Frank Miller to keep him from coming within a mile of any comic book publishers? Hasn't the man done enough damage already?

I personally think they should just reboot the franchise and make the next one a Guy Gardner/John Stewart buddy space cop movie. Comedy gold.

Less sexy? Where do you get such nonsense? Was Scarlett Johansson not absurdly hot in Iron Man 2? Throw some cat ears on there and you probably have what Hathaway's going to be wearing in TDKR. And if more skin's what you need, well, Hathaway has quite a few other movies that will fill your needs.

Yes and no. It's a perfect book to give young readers to introduce them to dystopian fiction and played a big role in turning me on to the genre. I reread it last year and realized that the plot is actually pretty pedestrian compared to a lot of other dystopian works I've read since, though Lowry's writing is so…

What a difference having a good script and good director who has a clear vision of the character can make on an actor's performance.

I'll totally be there for the midnight premiere in my "Team Carl" t-shirt.

Simple handwave explanation: The elderly would just get eaten. The people who actually become zombies would be the ones fit enough to get away from a zombie after getting bitten, ie young folks.

Why not just let the DC animated guys take a shot at making a live-action film? At the very least, they could come up with a screenplay that wasn't just one giant string of cliches.

Is the whole movie also going to be filmed in a color palette that consists entirely of black and gold?

I'm getting a very matchbox car vibe from this. Which I guess is a good thing, considering it's the Batmobile?

Eh, I kind of have the same annoyed disappointed reaction even when he does make a movie. (I'm looking at you, Hellboy.)

Hey, would you look at that. More pictures of the unlikeable human characters than of the giant alien robot cars. Even in the promo material, Michael Bay can't even pretend to get it right.

Hollywood screenwriters should all be forced to take a class on modern psychology and learn that not all psychology needs to be represented as Freudian. Because every time I see a movie where the characters deal with some cliched daddy/mommy issue, I die a little inside.

My definitive Noah's Ark will always be the one with Donald Duck from Fantasia 2000.

Predicting that Jeremy Renner will steal the show with a memorable, earthy character? What other predictions do you have? That the Hulk will be green?

Who's willing to bet that the ultimate conclusion of this study will be that four chord songs are the easiest route to making a pop hit.

This reboot still doesn't address one of the issues that's kept me from getting into mainstream comics, which is that they don't have a logical endpoint. The end I see for every one of these titles is that they're going to either not do well and be unceremoniously canceled or they are going to do well and they'll go…

Of course, the incorporation of unrelated lines into DC one big part of why the DC Universe is such a nonsensical clusterfuck of ridiculous superheroes.
