I continue to be unimpressed with the clips I've seen of Ultimate Spider-Man. How did getting Brian Michael Bendis and Paul Dini to write an animated show about superheroes go so wrong?

If you found Community unfunny I'm surprised you're even watching at this point. Harmon's style might not be for everyone (if it was, the show would be a ratings hog) but there's no need to kick it or the fans while they're down. The erratic but earnest nerdiness of the show was one of its major draws.

Actually, the trailer does say "from Ridley Scott," but I think your point is still well-made. I think this "guide" is too strict in its ruleset and too vague in its usage.

And while Watchmen is hardly a perfect movie (I'd rate it at about a 7/10) it's not horrible and the first trailer (which has not dialogue) is absolutely awesome.

These guidelines aren't very well-defined. For instance, I can't really think of any trailers I've seen recently that don't follow these rules to a certain extent and if the comments section is to be believed every movie that's going to come out in the next few months is made of automatic stuck because of it.

It's a callback to the original Alien trailer. I actually quite like it myself; it seemed a nice touch and suitably creepy.

From the article:

I'd be more than willing to see what else CD Projekt can come up with. Their games have their problems, but they're definitely one of the most promising RPG developers to come around in a long time. Let's see what they can do outside of their comfort zone.

Can we include games from 1999? If so, I nominate Homeworld.

To be fair, Casino Royale although may not have come long after Die Another Day it did come after the series had already been going on for four decades. I don't think there's many who would have called it "too soon."

In all honesty I shouldn't be replying to a new post on a thread that is over a month dead now, but since you insist on getting into a battle of terminology...

Hmmm... A story of how the first X-Men came together involving a Nazi-hunting Magneto? Sounds a bit familiar, eh?

I'd say there's little more than circumstantial evidence (such as his continued tinkering with the OT) to support the claim that George Lucas shows "nothing but contempt" for geek culture. He actually participates in an annual fan film contest as one of the judges and has called the fandom the "third pillar" of Star…

" I'm kind of done with this.. if you still have an issue, then you can get the last word and I'll read it, but don't expect a response."

I think Blade (which I haven't seen) was notable for being the first successful non-A-lister adaptation. But I think it may have been more of an isolated case (it wasn't that successful) rather than a launchpad for more movies.

IIRC, Paul Dini's actually ruled that as totally canon.

Commercially, 1982 was actually pretty bad for everyone except E.T.. But it's true that a lot of great films came out that years.

Great interview. The guy seems to know what he's doing.

Really. You're going to leave that without an explanation?

Fair enough (if you actually feel Hiddleston's Loki is better than Ledger's Joker). That's your opinion. I still wholeheartedly object to the idea of conflating the mythological Loki and Marvel's Loki, but it appears we're past that.
