However, if you are going to use a courtroom analogy, as evidence piles up, eventually you use that evidence to make a decision.

In the case at hand, the Brando rumor, if true, is evidence of a certain type of movie.

Some might find that movie one they want to see.
Some might find that movie one they don't want to see.



So the Brando footage,which might take up about five or ten minutes of the film,is enough to make people not wanna see a film?
Fucking moronic people maybe,but not anyone with at least half a brain!




Yea just be like; "oh look Brando, time for me to take a piss and maybe have a cigarette."

Is this really such a big decision where you have to wiegh the news articles to decide if you're going to see a bloody movie? Do you like Superman? Then go. No? Then it's probably not your thing. It's less than $10 bucks out of your pocket if you do, and a couple hours of your liife (time you have to spare if you're going to debate shit like this).

Worst thing that can happen is the movie sucks and you forget about it.

I like Batman. I like Catwoman.

Using your logic, I should have ignored the 2000 stories leading up to the premiere of "Catwoman" and paid eight bucks to see it.

By the same token, I'd never read a "Men In Black" or "Hellboy" comic book in my life. Again, using your logic, I should have skipped both those films.

And, as I've pointed out before, if it's a waste of anyone's time to discuss this sort of thing...THEN WHY THE HELL ARE WE POSTING ON A FORUM DEVOTED TO MOVIES AND COMIC BOOKS IN THE FIRST PLACE??!!?

Discussing stuff is fine,but basing decisions on random unproven internet rumours is for idiots only!
I have never put much stock in rumours or opinions of other movie goers purely on the basis that one mans trash is another mans treasure!
Especially a movie that is only in pre-production!

With Catwoman it was not rumours or peoples opinions that stopped me from paying to see it,it was cold hard facts,namely the fact that the advertising pointed towards a storyline that had little or no redeeming features.
On this basis I would not pay to see it at the cinema,or buy it on DVD,but when it comes on tv I will watch it then & decide whether the film was good or not!

There is nothing worse than someone putting down a film they have never seen,except maybe a person putting down a film that hasnt even been made yet!

Apparently Tommy Dreamer has been given the task of contacting his old colleagues to sign them up for the show.
Shane Douglas has apparently also set an ECW reunion show for the same date & has said that Dreamer so far has contacted Sandman,Sabu & Justin Credible!

The rumour is that Sandman has been offered $5000 to appear!
One would assume everyone is being offered a similar fee,but Sandman is one guy who wont be swayed by money as he has made millions through construction & has said he will only wrestle for his friends!

RVD added fuel to the flames recently in an interview where he was quoted as saying he hopes he is fully recovered for the ECW PPV WWE is planning!

Uh...yeah. Why not? It's eight bucks. I did just that (hell, I even dropped $20 bucks on the DVD on a whim, despite the fact that I doubt I'll ever watch it again. It looks nice in my collection.

I saw both of those films as last second choices at the cinema. I just showed up and decided what to see, regardless of the hype. I really don't see how this could even remotley be considered a decision worthy of 'researching' beforehand. THEY'RE JUST MOVIES.

Here's another one:

Quote:

While Superman has been gone on a 6 year round trip to Krypton to see if he is indeed the last son of that doomed planet, Lois Lane has moved on with her life. Lois Lane now has a five-year-old son and the father is no other than Richard White, played by James Marsden. When Superman returns Lois and Richard are engaged to be married.

I really don't think this rumor is true. It will be moving too far away from the comic book.

How do you take a round trip to a planet that EXPLODED INTO TINY LITTLE PIECES in the first film?!?!

Why do Superman stories always have to be about him being a depressing turd nowadays?

Fans want their Batman to lighten up and thier Superman dark and gritty.

Idiots.

Personally, I'd like to see more comic book movies done like James Bond films in one area.

James Bond films, for all their flaws, don't feel the need to re-establish the hero's origin or what he's been up to between films every time they make one.

Instead, the producers realize that the audience knows that James Bond is a secret agent with cool gimmicks and gets right into the action. They also realize that the audience can accept that the series is decades old and don't feel the need to explain why the hero doesn't age (or why he is a different actor every seven or so years).

Why can't a Superman movie proceed from the same basic assumption, that everyone knows Superman is an alien from Kypton who disguises himself as Clark Kent, etc, instead of wasting half or more of a movie recapping an origin everyone in America already knows.
