scotteb, it probably has something to do with the fact that Mitra's surgically-enhanced breasts are incredibly anachronistic to the time period in which the movie is set.

Chico, X3 may have managed to get a couple superficial things right but it got everything else wrong. I mean, they decide to tackle on of the most well-known story arcs in X-Men comics history and pretty much reduce it to a subplot. (The A-plot they used was fine as a four-issue comics story, but it really couldn't…

Not Gary Higgins, I must take issue with your assessment of The Dark Knight Returns. I recently read it again and was struck by all the '80s satire/social commentary that Miller put into the story. It seemed pretty clear to me that he was trying to do a bit more than just write "a bad-ass adventure story."…

And thinking of Sandra Bullock is bad? It was one of my favorite pasttimes back in the mid-'90s.

I would say that Goyer is incredibly uneven. The Crow: City of Angels sucked. I really enjoyed the first two Blade films (especially the second one), but the third one was terrible. It's hard to know how much of Dark City was his, since he was apparently brought on to help make it less bizarre. (According to him, he…

There's also a Senegalese adaptation called Hyenas from the early '90s that was pretty decent. (I saw it in a film class coincidentally during the same semester that I read the play for a theatre class.)

The Phantom, please!
Please continue the Depression-era theme and go with The Phantom next (followed by The Shadow). I've always thought this movie got a bum rap, but I thought it was a helluva lot of fun. The art direction and cinematography are top notch and the cast features a dreamy Kristy Swanson, a dreamier…

comic strips
The above discussion of comic strips—especially those which talk about Calvin & Hobbes and Peanuts as being the all-time greatest—made me think of the strip that topped a recent list of the greatest comics of all time, Krazy Kat. After reading about it, I decided to give the strip a try and picked up a…

John Edwards?
Does anyone else think Damien kinda looks like John Edwards in this movie? That might explain why I never quite liked the guy.

I must be one of the few people who does like the demon in the movie. If I were to remove it anywhere, it would be in the beginning so that it would have more impact in the final sequence. ("Holy shit! It was fer reals after all!")

My question is shouldn't Peter have already had Sylar's power? Since when does he need to be given permission to take someone's ability?
