Mal ,'Safe'
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.
Batman Begins, even though I didn't enjoy it, did three villians really well-- they mapped like spiraling circles of villiany. Although Chris Nolan has some experience with complicated plotting.
P.S.: I do not know how to spell villian/villain. They both look wrong. I know it derives from villein, maybe that's a clue.
Now I just need to figure out which movie will most likely be showing the Spidey 3 trailer...mmm....
Seriously, Spidey vs. Evil Suit would be enough for one movie.
Topher Grace does NOT seem big/bulky enough to play Eddie Brock. IJS.
But MAN, Thomas Hayden Church is so perfectly Sandman -- the same way J.K. Simmons is J. Jonah Jameson. Impressive.
When I was a kid, I didn't realize that Batman (the TV show) was supposed to be funny. I remember being confused when Batman went into a bar and ordered a milk.
But I did find the "Bat-parachute-retrieval-service" van amusing (it showed up just after the Batmobile used a parachute to slow down that was then jettisoned).
I remember reading a Neil Adams/Dennis O'Neal Batman comic when I was little, where a burglar pulled a gun on Batman, and Batman broke his knuckles. That wasn't the Batman I was used to; it caused me some serious congitive dissonance.
Looks like next summer we'll have Spidey and Wolverine.

OOh. They can be roomates!
Actually, that sounds more like a sitcome. Wolverine buys Spidey his first six-pack, drunken wackiness ensues....
Why stop at wackiness?
I have no idea why they need Sandman; I'd never even heard of him.
He's a Spidey villain from waaaaaay back.
It's good to see Sandman. He was one of Spidey's cooler villains. (Of course, considering how many of them were goofballs in really silly-looking animal-themed suits, I realize that's not saying alot.)
I love that they're using Green Goblin II (I thought they were going to do Hobgoblin, but the trailer shows Osborne dodging a pumpkin bomb, so I guess not?)
I missed that. Maybe it is the Hobgoblin, then. Green Goblin II=Harry, Hobgoblin=some other dude.

The hearts of slash writers everywhere start beating a little faster...
