    The Original (seventies) Superman. (minus the "Can you read my mind" song)

    No, slam bang action is a prerequisite of a good movie, it alone does not make a good movie(*). The fact that people are willing to settle for such fare in such numbers is a sad reflection on society. (*) - Just like a decent salary is not the definition of a good job, sure a decent salary is a requirement for a good job - but it is not the definition of one...

    That is the perfect summation of what is wrong with movies these days...

    Of which only the Iron Man ones were any good. Hulk - both films were dreadful. Thor can be summed up as Beefy Guy grows up and accepts responsability, Captain America amounts to Wimpy guy gets buff and beats up baddies. At least Superman has to deal with ignoring his father's advice and then with having what amounts to godike powers and knowing he can't use them as he likes.

    I could I forget to list Watchmen as one of the great superhero movies? I loved it.

    There is this lovely line in "It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world" where Ethyl Mermym says "things like this happen because of people who says things like this happen when things like this happen." Or in other words, if people would stop watching mindless movies about superheroes beating each other up for no reason then movie companies would stop making them. Superman showed that it is possible to make a good Superhero picture (original Spider Man and Tim Burton's Batman as well). The problem today is the never ending desire to go further and further overboard with Special Effects. (I should add Iron Man into the good mix, it was at least a different take on Super Heroes and the Stark character is truly interesting)

    Whoops, nevermind, I was thinking Che Guevara... Hugo, although I seriously doubt is a good guy, is only protrayed as a blowhard, opinionated, vain, glory seeker here in the US, or in other words - a typical politician.

    His description pretty much sums up EVERY superhero film, with the exception of the Original Superman (from the seventies, not those ones from the forties or fifties).
  9. Dynaman
    He was a bad guy, films like the motorcycle diary are trying to humanize the guy rather then demonize.

    True, but BSG didn't have a budget for anything else. On the plus side for ST at least there isn't any sunlight coming in through the windows of the brewery into the "engine room", anyone ever see "Space Mutiny"? (if not watch the MST3K version). And finally, a brewery is probably a good thing in Scotty's opinion, perhaps he was the designer...

    A show set during reconstruction focusing on someone that took the loss of family very hard would be interesting. Perhaps blaming all Zentradi and hating them, being forced to work with some or get out of (whatever they do). Yup - it's been done a million times (once with a character called Sam Francisco...) but it would fit very well in the reconstruction period.

    I would side neither side (Macross, ignoring the latest posts...) is the "good guys". Both the UN and Anti-UN are shown to have noble and ignoble aspects.

    My answer is better late then never... I don't remember the other characters yelling so much, but Misa REALLLLLY overdose it a bit. The voice the VA uses for her is grating as well. It is a pity too, in the DVD extras for the show she had a very nice natural voice - she should have just used that as Misa's voice and not tried to kick it up a notch. (yes Misa does yell a lot, but not THAT much)

    FINALLY! A Gundam show for me!
  15. Dynaman
    It's not current and not exactly anime but I watched the first disk of Ultraman Tiga and had and enjoyable romp with it. It was good to see mister U and his slippers again... Just watched the Eureka 7 movie and decided I like the TV show a lot better, the ending credits were neat and the movie was good, just not up to the quality of the show.

    Where I live it is considered creepy not to at least pretend to be a prude. Dirty Old Man is not just a saying, it's a lifestyle.
  17. Dynaman
    This might be the first chance asylum has at a LARGER budget then the film it is ripping off...
  18. Dynaman
    It's been on the short list for years now.
  19. Dynaman
    I'm sorry but it just isn't going to work, Bruce Willis NEVER had hair...
  20. Dynaman
    Hikaru is a great guy, but for that purpose dump him and replace with Millia.
  21. Dynaman
    Can't be just weirdos, I know about it...
  22. Dynaman
    I have to ditto that, it would have gotten a better score from me if it were not for the "Noooo" at the end. I will be going to see it in 3D though, unlike the first prequal. Frontier?, Zero?, Loved them both.
  23. Dynaman
    I agree that each clips just looks better and better. Seeing the Yamato opening with such detail and fluidity brings a tear to my eye.
  24. Dynaman
    Among underage characters, everything. In general I'm also an old fuddy duddy, we have become far too sexualized.

    Context, it shows war as something to be avoided if possible, while the innuendo is shown as being acceptable - that is the problem with it.
