I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
not to mention a probable recast of the kid playing Jacob Black, which i'm sort of ambivalent about. on the one hand, the kid was a perfect Twilight!Jacob, but not so much a New Moon - Breaking Dawn!Jacob. on the other hand, the rumours about who they're thinking of casting make me want to stick hot pokers in my eyes.

“Not dead yet!”
Who, tiggy?
And ION, the first official trailer for X-Men Origins.
I'm slowly warming to Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, at least in image-- the kicker will be when he speaks.
And Liev Schreiber looks to make a wicked Victor Creed.

Saw Dark Knight yesterday. Impressive. They certainly took "moral ambiguity" and ran with it. A couple of things annoyed me, though. The Joker was almost supernaturally chaotic, and Dent would have died of infection with those injuries, and he would have been incoherent with the pain. I don't care how crazy somebody is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's comics. His gizmos wouldn't work in the real world either. I found it emotionally effective enough that my belief was easily enough suspended for the pragmatics.

Well, I suppose. I still think I liked Iron Man a little better(NOT because it felt more real) but TDK was good, too. Poor HL.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
There is no God. Stephen Norrington (the director who was responsible for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), is going to re-make The Crow. "Norrington has a new take on the antihero, telling the trade mag, "Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style." "

Dark Knight was closer to reality than Batman, so I wasn't able to do the "comic book movie" handwave. And I sure had a lot of problems with reality in Batman that needed that handwave. The reality was good, it felt like real people with real moral crises. Then they throw in the stuff that needs a handwave, and I have to downshift the acceptance levels, and it messes with the really cool stuff they had going.
