Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Like Lucas would know a decent script.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ioan talks about the Fantastic Four movie:

Tonally, the movie is, according to Arad, a bittersweet comedy, something Gruffudd was keen to confirm. "There's quite a bit of comedy in this and there's that romance between Reed and Sue Storm. And there are four of us, so we're all relying on each other. I have no idea where the script is going to go, but there's certainly plenty of action and us getting a chance to use our superpowers. It's going to be interesting because there are so many fans out there of the original and what they do and I hope they try to remain true to the comic."

Indeed, it seems it shall, right down to the costumes. "Yes, it's going to be a traditional, Spandex, blue Lycra suit with black leather boots. So I'm looking forward to that," laughs Gruffudd. And will he be sporting Reed Richards' traditional graying temples? " I think the idea will be that once they're exposed to the radiation up in space that turns them into the Fantastic Four, as a result of that I'll start to have the greying hair. But I think it'll be subtler than it is in the comic books. More dignified, like George Clooney!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Like Lucas would know a decent script.

He probably wanted to change the plot to something with Nazis stealing the secret of metaclorians.

Midichlorians, fool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ioan Gruffud is going to be macking on Jessica Alba.

I feel queasy.

Well I guessed at the spelling and Google suggested metaclorians. But then midichlorians gives more matches. Obviously, Google is employing a Sith.

The evil is this way?

Like Lucas would know a decent script.

He may. He just can't write one himself.

And it's just coincidence he never noticed his stank?

Sometimes artists can't judge their own work.

Jim Morrison always thought his poetry was much better than his singing or his lyrics. He was very wrong, he wrote horrible poetry.

Did we establish that Jim could tell anyone's poetry from crap? If not, it's not quite a parallel.
