  1. It will actually have to be, as Nolan says he is finishing the story.
  2. God damn it! Matrix!?? Really!? That last one was so bad it made me throw away my DVD of the first one. Thats not a metaphor. I took the DVD and threw it in the trash... Thats how irritated I was.
  3. I thought both of those were fair. I think you guys hold comic book super hero stuff to a 'way too high' standard. Maybe the last two batman movies have just ruined it for everything else because they were so good.
  4. Ill see it
  5. The guy playing Bane was muscular in Bronson, which is an amazing film BTW.
  6. Just as stupid. Thanks for reminding me of that.
  7. +1 3D was stupid in the 70s, and its stupid now.
  8. I wouldn't think catwoman would need to be hot at all.
  9. Bane? eh. Didn't they already do that with Uma Thurman and some clown?
  10. That is the stupidest most kiddie thing I have ever seen.
  11. Machete didn't irritate me, it was just a let down. The trailer was awesome, movie, not awesome at all. Comparing it to Black Dynamite is ridiculous. That was an amazing film.
  12. Masks... Hmmm. Maybe this will be more like the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, as in, no stupid kiddie mask stuff. Like more realistic.
  13. Exactly... Its a comic about steroids.
  14. LOL, I got some SWEET headphones for my ipod. They were like 30 bucks.
  15. They start out that way, but you are missing the message: The Mack - started out as a pimp, but realized the horrors of the pimping world and ultimately escapes with his dignity only. Noting that pimping and prostitution are largely a black issue. Foxy Brown - Drug dealing brother who dies, then Foxy goes off on a revenge rampage against those who exploit black people with drugs Suprefly - Drug dealer that wants out, ends up getting revenge on the white guys that keep him in it. Theme of the movie is that drugs are ruining the black community. Shaft - Cop that works twice as hard for the black people. Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song - Pimp that has white cops on the take, but escapes them and the industry driving the point that black women are being exploited. Coffy - Girl gets revenge on those who sell drugs to black kids. Black Belt Jones - Similar to shaft, guy was cleaning up society by killing mobsters that sell drugs to blacks. Not a single one of these movies are degrading. They show exploitation of black people, however how the character in each movie perseveres against this white oppression is the punchline. An extremely positive message. I see newer movies like Friday, the Barbershop, and White Chicks as degrading.
  16. Eh, I think Bill Murray is pulling back because he doesn't want this thing to suck. When I think about Indy 4 I almost want to forget the entire series. I don't want to think the same thing about Ghostbusters.
  17. Nope, I was emailing with him a few months ago. He has some transitions going on in his life.
  18. Was that the point? I thought it was just modern day whining about racism. (I do think racism is still a problem in our society, its beaten to death every day over the news or wherever else. I don't need another movie about it.) Black exploitation movies were really the first to show this kind of thing, before in media, the black side wasn't really shown. I think the elements of showing racism in cinema have degenerated to just bitching. Look at the Mac, or Foxy Brown... Powerful stories about oppression and success despite. Now look at movies like White Chicks or Friday... What the hell went wrong? These films are garbage. Machete, was not horrible, just the comparison irritates me.
