That's also the impression I've been getting from the trailers, and I think it still sounds cool. It fits in with the comics I'm reading with the more modern, psychological take on superheroes.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants yesterday and loved it quite a bit. Cried quite a bit, too. I definitely wouldn't mind if they made a second movie from the second book.

I think I read that they are planning to.

Compassionately intolerant
Two disturbing imdb discoveries:
1) They're making a movie(!) out of the Celestine Prophesy.
2) They've made a 4th installment (which others here have probably already discussed) of my beloved Prophesy series with no Walken and yes Jason Scott Lee.
Not that I'm opposed to JSL in particular, but Dracula II proved his bad luck with sequels of any sort.
"They" are giving me a headache.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Prophecy without Chris Walken is just so wrong, so horribly wrong on so many levels. I will probably see it anyway, but I will do so under protest and with lots of bitching and moaning.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Prophecy 2 with Christopher Walken was horribly wrong on many levels. The third installment was a lot better, but the filmmakers were trying so hard to imitatereference the original that they might as well have opened with Walken looking at the camera and saying "Y'know what, just go back and rent the original again instead. You'll thank me later!"

Are you ready to be strong?
I loved the Smiths. It taught me an important lesson about domestic violence: it is good for your relationship!

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Of course Prophecy 2 was wrong but at least it had Walken. He was still very entertaining even though the plot and all that was horrid. What will the forth have to justify it's existence? Nothing.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Just got back from screening the Bats. Thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a few things that made me go "huh?", but I suspect that's just a lack of comics knowledge.
Also, not. nearly. enough. shirtless CB.
