None. Fuck hollywood.

Yeah, well fuck Tartan Asia too, I spent a year of my life doing a dissertation on it to not care anymore. They're all remakes of each other. Even the Eye and Infernal Affairs ( which are getting hollywood remakes). And also fuck Indies - this year's performance at Sundance was abysmal. The best received movie starred Steve "I'm on 'the office' and in 'the 40 year old virgin (at stores now)'" Carrell. So don't bitch about Hollywood movies. They're pulling their act together in a way that could not be fathomable 10 years ago.

Superman Returns does seem to be well thought of in terms of both continuity and character.

That is just so hard to tell since they have been playing around with his continuity for a while now. I always thought that they based the old movies on the silver age version of Superman. Does that mean they are going off of that or the newer version that has popped up since the 1980's.

The plot for "Superman Returns" continues after the events of "Superman II" (the battle with General Zod and his gang of Kryptonian super-villains). Apparently they decided to discard Supes III & IV from the continuity....

Well I'm not going anyway near Miami Vice, from what I've read about it and the fact they've not done a good TV to big screen converstion yet. The Oman 666 will be another very poor remake of an original. Why the hell do they do these, it's very rare the ever do a decent one. Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift this is one too far I'm afraid, the should have left it at 2.

2-4 of them I might go and see, but of the rest Poseidon could be a dissapointment again the remake thing. RV can Williams get back to his best comedian status for it ? X-men needed the third and could be the best by the looks of it. The first Pirates was great interested to see if the second as good.

Oh and congrats on the 5000 quality posts.

Grats on 5k, I just saw "An American Haunting" by the way, if you like typical cheesy old school 19th century thrillers, go see it.

 

[TallCowboy]

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
The Oman 666
Superman Returns
X Men

Btw Congrat on the 5000th post om3ga

 

[Aegis]

I'll hopefully get to watch the new X-men movie. Perhaps I'll go see the new Superman movie too, though Superman isn't really all that interesting IMHO.

Some 007 fans are asking moviegoers to boycott the new James Bond, criticising Daniel Craig as "short, blond and odd-looking"....

As I recall, Mrio Puzo (Godfather author) wrote Superman I and II as one movie, but they had to be split into two because obviously it would have been waaaay too long as one. In fact, if you go back and watch them both, they really do have the feel of the same movie, and not just a movie and a sequel, which is saying something for that time period because back then, sequels usually sucked, and could barely even keep the feel of the original. When I watched Superman again after I knew who Mario Puzo was I thought it was pretty funny that Marlon Brando was in another one of his movies playing Superman's daddy.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I can't remember if Krypton itself blew up, or if it was the sun that went super nova. If it's the case of the latter, I guess that would make it less questionable as to how he gets there.

I hope the returning character is General Zod. I liked him.

"Kneel before Zod!"

An abridged synopsis of "Superman the movie" (from Superman Homepage):

Jor-El delivers a stern warning to the [Kryptonian] council that seismic disturbances within the planet are harbingers of the ultimate destruction of Krypton and tells them that the planet needs to prepare for worldwide evacuation. Fearing the unknown, the council warns Jor-El that his theories are unproven, and that, should he spread these rumors, he, too, will be held for insurrection. Jor-El swears that he will not say a word, and that neither he, nor his wife, Lara, will attempt to leave the planet. However, Jor-El did not make that same promise for his small son, Kal-El, and the scoffed prophet of Krypton decides to send his only son to earth.

Jor-El places the infant in the star-shaped capsule, as well as a green crystal containing all of the amassed knowledge of Krypton. Jor-El tells his son:

"You will travel far, my little, Kal-El, but we will never leave you, even in the face of our deaths. The richness of out love will be yours. All that I have, all that I have learned, all that I feel, these and more I bequeath you. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own. I will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father the son. This is all I can send you, Kal-El."

Jor-El and Lara launch the ship and watch as it lifts off high above the surface of Krypton just as a new set of tremors hit the planet. The quakes crumble the buildings, eventually fracturing the planet itself into bits.

Well, thanks for that. Guess I'll just have to wait and see how the do it then.

Superman returns, X-Men: The Last Stand and Da Vinci Code will be great movies imo

Great job reaching 5000, Om3ga! And I'm not sure what movies I'll want to see this summer. "Benchwarmers" looks hilarious, but since most of those "blockbusters" are old TV shows, remakes, etc. maybe the Sentinel is the way to go. WHo knows?

Good thing I didn't add MI-3 to the list since it's not doing so well at present (course it'll probably sell bundles of DVDs, but I bet TC wished he cut back on his recent antics)

No doubt. I think all of the crap we've had shot at us through the media about he and Katie Holmes ate up the popularity that MI-3 might have had. I think people are just Tom Cruised out!

[qweretyuiopas@]

lol no one wants to see rv or the sentinel (surprise surprise lmao)

 

[holycrap]

Congrats on 5k om3ga, just about there myself.
Had to pick "other", as the only movie that really interests me is A Scanner Darkly based on the Phillip K. Dick novel. Although I'm not too keen on Keanu Reeves in the lead role.

 

[Black Star]

Superman
Mission Impossible III
The DaVinci Code
Miami Vice

And, one that I'm not sure is a blockbuster or not, A Scanner Darkly. I plan on reading the book soon, but the movie sounds really intriguing. That is, so long as Keanu Reeves doesn't suck in it.

Well, knock 'The DaVinci Code' off of that list.

The movie kind of left my conflicted...but I don't really see what all the hype was for. Just average.

Might want to add X-Men 3 to that list, however.

I know the Omen remake is scheduled for release on 6th June 2006 (6/6/06), but is Danielle (aka: The Beast) still coming out on the same day?
