  1. Old news, not happening. Scott was interested, but has since moved on. They seem intent of developing an Aliens VS Predator franchise.
  2. I concure. Graham I guess if you arent a Spider-Man fan it was. Seriously if you were a fan of the comics the Spider-Man movie was incredible. I am looking forward to Spider-Man 2 I hope to not see Eddie Brock for awhile though. There are lots of great villians for them to use. Let Venom come in 4 or 5. Milk, I worked in a comic book store in my teens. As a reformed comic book fan, I can say that the movie was a complete letdown. The original Superman and Batman movies, it wasn't. The trailer for 2 looks promising, but looks can be decieving. Atleast they got Kirsten Dunst's hair color right in this movie.
  3. The first one was putrid, I don't imagine the second will be any better. A complete letdown.
  4. Costner is not in the movie. The script isn't even finished yet. Go to TheRaider.net for news of what is going on.
  5. I just watched Episode 3, and I must say, it lost me completely. Not as in story wise, I mean as in it lost my attention. I liked Macross alot better without the mystical mumbo jumbo.
  6. That's because you are a douche bag. No movie in the history of cinema has had the worldwide appeal and popularity of the Star Wars saga.
  7. My thoughts exactly. You could use it to show how easy it would have been for Luke to go to the dark side... Really show why Luke being "too old" in the original trilogy was such a big deal.
  8. For me, Phantom Menance became a better movie for me once I saw II. I don't know why, but I like it more than I originally did (and I saw it in the theater 6 times). I think it could do with a little less kiddie scenes (Jar Jar stepping in crap, animals farting, etc), and a little editing. Its not far away from being a very good Star wars movie. Its just a little long winded in places. A good editor could make a better movie out of it, the material is there.
  9. "I've asked him. He won't let me do one." "I wanted to do one 15 years ago, and he didn't want me to do it. I understand why - Star Wars is George's baby."
  10. Spielberg has stated that he begged Lucas to let him direct Episode II or III, and Lucas turned him down.
  11. The thing that got me the most about ROTJ wasn't the Ewoks, it was the bad acting. Mark Hamill was practically an entire forest he was so wooden, and Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford had nothing to work with in the way of dialog. Their characters had no character. Are these really the same people from ANH and Empire? As with AOTC, the end of the movie redeems the rest of it.
  12. Right now I have Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII in my PS2. Castlevania seems to be getting alot of attention, and Final Fantasy X-2 is of course blowing doors out everywhere. I dunno, I haven't done a ton of gaming this year. And yes, Ace Combat 04 was an amazing game.
  13. Now that's funny. 1. Who would that be? Judd Hirsch and Will Smith are the only two actors in there of any significance. And will Smith has mostly wasted his talent on lame action movies (like Independence Day). 2. Matter of opinion. I thought it was rather lame, especially the ending. 3. Written and directed by the immortal Roland Emmerich, the man behind Universal Soldier, Stargate, and Godzilla. HAHAHAHAHA! Ya, you rest your case... about 6 feet under.
  14. Natalie Portman is clearly wrong for the role. This is the mother of Princess Leia? I don't think so. Ewan McGregor has to work the the same script and same director she does, and he does a much better job. The role was miscast.
  15. I agree. Part 2 was much better than Part 1, and really changed my mind about the mini-series.
  16. I doubt the trolls read the feedback forum, Milk.
  17. Oh yeah, that's good enough reasons. Vostok 7 yeah, but Frank's dead. i bet if he were alive, He'd praise the mini-series. the movie was straight up David Lynch non-sense. Herbert said he liked what Lynch did with the movie. He wrote the books, I'd say his opinion mattered more than yours.
  18. Excuse me? How is the new Sci-Fi version of Dune a POS when it's 100x closer to the book than that 80's movie called "dune" and didn't even have Sting in it to boot? Explain, please. Vostok 7 Because the movie was clearly superior. Frank Herbert even praised it.
  19. The thing about Starbuck in the original was that it was essentially Dirk Benedict playing Dirk Benedict. There is only one Dirk Benedict. He played the exact same character as Face in the A-Team. Kinda like Reese Witherspoon always plays the same character. If someone played a role that was hers, it just wouldn't be right. Starbuck was basically a lounge lizard in the original. He's the kinda guy in the sleezy suit you see hanging out at the bars in Vegas. If anything, he was probably a pussy. So, of course, they have to make the chick Starbuck a tough girl. They lost the essence of the character.
  20. Episode 1, thumbs down, episode 2, thumbs up. My vote was for "good".
  21. My order: The Empire Strike Back A New Hope Phantom Menance Attack of the Clones Return of the Jedi When you look at the total amount of money A New Hope brought in when it came out, and you adjust for inflation, there isn't a single movie these days that even comes close to it. The only movie that tops it all time is Gone With The Wind. Everybody is impressed when they see a movie like Spiderman make 300 million, but you have to remember that was made with people paying 8 or 9 dollars a ticket. It doesn't even break the top 20 all time when you adjust for inflation. The original Star Wars is THE blockbuster movie. Empire, Jedi, and Phantom Menace all make the top 20. As much as people love to rip on Lucas these days, we are talking about the greatest and highest grossing movie franchise of all time. Hell, the original trilogy blows everything else out of the water by themselves. No other movie franchise even threatens them. Simply amazing. Hell, even my Grandma likes Star Wars!
