I'm torn. Superman's suit is both the most iconic in comics and the hardest to translate to live-action film without looking ridiculous. I'm not thrilled about the texture and the weird detailing, but it does look justifiably alien and it does a great job of showing off Cavill's comic book hero figure. He REALLY

Wow. That is spectacular.

I'm assuming the movie's stuck in pre-production because the target audience for the film is tiny compared to the number of children who would be permanently emotionally scarred when their parents didn't do the research and took their kids to see it thinking it was a lighthearted Homeward Bound/G-Force hybrid.

Um, that was the point of my comparison. Both Bale's Bat-voice and a CG Green Lantern suit made logical sense, but the execution was terrible, so they get rightfully ridiculed.

They did cram too much in, but the biggest problem with Iron Man 2 for me was the tone. The first film did a great job of balancing humor with serious themes; the second was just silly. Making Justin Hammer a complete schmuck may have been good for a few cheap laughs, but it was way off key for a superhero movie

I remember watching the DVD extras to Blade, which included an alternate ending where Blade fought the Big Bad after he had turned into a weird bloody goo monster. The filmmakers scrapped it because they realized that abstract goo was not a compelling villain. Unfortunately, the Green Lantern filmmakers didn't seem

Christian Bale's bat-voice also got a lot of hate, even though it totally makes sense for Batman to want to disguise his voice. Aesthetics matter in movies. If something looks (or sounds) stupid, it's going to get ridiculed, no matter how much in-universe sense it makes.

Agreed. The one of Supes flying has such a beautiful All Star Superman feel to it.

Sadly, Firefly's successful fan campaign may have ended up making it harder for future fan campaigns to work, since it resulted in Serenity, which was a commercial flop.

A channel for retro sci-fi and horror would be brilliant, but sadly the ratings would probably suck and all its good programming would eventually be replaced by "reality" shows about people trying to find ghosts and aliens and the like.

A lot of people like to bring up Arrested Development when calling Fox a show killer, but I think it's actually evidence in Fox's defense. A show that was pretty much unwatchable unless you had seen it from the beginning and whose main running joke was incest was given almost three seasons. Granted, they had no clue

Ah yes, but you'd never have trouble finding your pink zeppelin in a parking lot, would you?

I would have been fine with the alternate timeline if the reasoning behind the alternate timeline hadn't been so stupid.

Q: What did the redneck say right before he died?

Meh. The ham-fisted two color contrast is one of the most played out trends in movies today.

Nah, the killer is clearly Milla Jovovich herself.

Really? War in Heaven? Why must every pseudo-Greek fantasy movie have its mythology turned into a lazy, third-rate stand-in for Christianity?

Futurama being Simpsonized has an ominous ring to it.

"Is it really that hard for Hollywood to wrap their heads around..."

I think a good example would be the most recent time travel episode. The creators of Futurama always said they didn't want to use time travel very often, so they always had them travel through time by a means that would be pretty much impossible to repeat. Then they pretty much tossed all that out the window by
