Huh.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

No, actually, he plays some murderous gang leader who wants to ascend to demonhood or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the anthology potential (it's keeping in spirit with the comics), but, yeah, they've all been crap.

Do the comics just have different characters being brought back? Okay. But yeah, if they're not done as well as the first, I won't bother.

They do have multiple Crows, yeah.

I liked the first Crow. And got all caught up in the tragedy of the Lee family prophesy. Plus, Michael Wincott is creepy-fun. But the rest were, indeed, crap.
Yet another example of terrific potential squandered.
Hmph. My dog has fallen heavily asleep on my foot, which has, in turn, fallen asleep. I take this as a sign that the rest of me should follow.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
That comment was just me not wanting to come off as a union basher.
Unions, like most things, need the occasional bashing. For all the good things they've done, they've also done a lot of shitty things.

The evil is this way?
Boreanaz playing an undead avenger?
No, actually, he plays some murderous gang leader who wants to ascend to demonhood or something.
He's the Mayor?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The Crow was a tiny bit, um, baroque. But for all that, yeah, good movie. Imagine how much better a movie it could have been if the lead hadn't been killed a couple of weeks before the end of principal photography! Those first 20 minutes really obviously re-use the same close-ups again and again. (I mean, I don't know what else they could have done, given 1994 technology.)
One of the things I enjoyed most about the movie was Eric's sardonic sense of humor. I like the idea of dead people having a good laugh in the depths of their post-mortem depression. "Victims. Aren't we all?"

Yeah, I had to rewind to catch what he said. It took me a while to get used to his speaking, actually. The look was so great, I wanted him to be this silent killer. But the talking made him sound like this ordinary dude, which, well, he was.
"If you move, you're dead!"
"Well, I say I'm dead, and I move."
And then simple, pointed statements like "Morphine is bad. "
A friend of mine had "It can't rain all the time" as her e-mail signature for years, and I'm glad I can finally appreciate it.
