I'm not expecting it to be Batman Begins good, but I'm hoping it won't totally suck. Either way, I'm still going to see it.




I've said it before. And I'll say it again. Whenever comic book fans fork over good money for a movie just because it is based on a comic book, even if they are "hoping it won't TOTALLY suck," they send a message to Hollywood that they should make more mediocre comic book movies.

Is that what we want?



Honestly, if you're not going to see it based on one or two reviews, then really you're basing the idea that is sucks on someone else's opinion. (BTW - I mean "you" as a generic "you" not you personally, G-man.) I have no problem forking over my hard earned money for something that is done in a genre that I love. I'd rather see it and form my own opinion than automatically dismiss it based on someone else's. Even seeing trailer's isn't enough IMO. If I like it, I will see it more than once (Batman - 3x's and counting), and if I don't then I won't.

If I have absolutely no interest in it (Catwoman, Elektra, Hulk - none of which I've seen) then being a comic book fan isn't enough to get me into the theatre.

Additionally, I cannot count the number of times I've read glowing reviews of a movie and ended thinking it royally sucked. (and vice versa.) So, its off to the movies I go and I'll see for myself if its good or not...


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
