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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

(from that link):
Peter changes into Spider-Man, and manages to defeat Sandman by trapping him in a vacuum cleaner.
Hee!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love this sentence:
While he appears normal at first, Marko finds that he can transform any, or all, of his body into sand. He decides to become a supervillain, calling himself the Sandman.
Of course! That is the only course of action!
Peter changes into Spider-Man, and manages to defeat Sandman by trapping him in a vacuum cleaner.
HA HA HA HA HA.
Sandman finds that he was transforming into glass, starting with his hand, but after managing to stop and reverse this change, he decides to resume fighting his original foe, Spider-Man.
I love all the deciding he does.
Oh, and it looks like Venom is involved in his story, so I guess that's why they're using him in the movie? Also, this guy is like Sloane with his "I'm evil! I'm good! I'm evil! I'm good!"
And oh yeah, I remember now that he was in Ultimate Six, which I read and I was just thinking about today because it has one of my favorite spreads ever.
But he never appeared in the animated series, which is why I didn't know him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Joining with Hydro-Man to fight their mutual enemy, the two find themselves changing into an unintelligent mud monster, but eventually they split apart, leaving Marko deeply depressed.
Huh. There's an unusual cause of depression...

He was one of Spidey's cooler villains.
Apparently, he can turn into a giant...sand....man? And hit you with sand?
He's versatile. If, as a sand man, he stays loosely packed, he can flow almost like water. If he stays densely packed, it's almost like stone.
And I was *just about* to post the vacuum cleaner thing, because I remember reading that when I was a kid!

Heh. I never said he was necessarily one of his better-written villains. But as a concept he was a whole lot cooler than the Rhino, Scorpion or Vulture.
(Though I do like the Ultimate version of Rhino.)
