JGL, for me, grew from that kid on that show, to a recurring surprise of delight with every new project I saw of his. And my little brother helped solidify the opinion of awesome with his own enthusiasm. Said lil' bro turned me onto Firefly and Buffy, I respect his opinion greatly.
Am in the mood now to rewatch Brick.
Which strikes me as possibly the most hilarious sequel. Taken. AGAIN. Taken: Another Family Member.
Makes me think of Last Action Hero, where Arnold's character keeps having family members killed off in every movie. "You killed my uncle's second cousin (or whatever it was), now it's personal!"
io9 proposes Batman Beyond for further Bat movies.
I haven't seen TDKR yet, but I loved Batman: Beyond and think they make a pretty good case there.

I can't wait for Taken 3: And Your Little Dog, Too!
Thing is, Taken was not a good movie. Like the first 20 minutes are okay...then BOOM. The abyss.
Not sure where to put this, but ABC has a greenlit a pilot for a S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series with Joss, Jed and Maurissa onboard. [link]

I believe Last Action Hero is a very underrated movie. It's a wonderful send up of action movie tropes. "Excuse me! I have just shot a man! Does anyone care?" "Shut up down there!"
I think he's great. But I thought Everybody kind of agreed on it after (500) Days. although I like the Lookout a lot.
I was thinking it was after
Brick
(The Lookout is good to),
but I suppose, yeah, that's when he became mainstream indie popular.

I have it in my Instant Queue. I hope it holds up. I remember really digging it.
Yeah I was dragged kicking and screaming to Last Action Hero and now it is one of my favorites.
I loved Last Action Hero, but I remember there being a lot of hate for it when it came out. I originally chalked it up to people not realizing it was supposed to be a send up, though I did recently read a review where someone hated it because of the real world stuff. They just wanted an over-the-top action parody. Which is fine, I suppose, but I much prefer the version we got.
