    Blade Trilogy (1998-2004) Say what you want about how bad Blade: Trinity was, but you have to admit that all three films have some of the best martial arts choreography for a Hollywood film.

    Blade kinda worked because it was a virtually unknown comic book property and it was barely advertised as a comic book movie. Hell, almost everyone who watched it in theaters didn't even know it was a comic book movie, as it completely deviated from the source material and changed Blade into a ninja vampire hunter.

    Just wondering: Does anyone here remember the Superman Red/Superman Blue arc in the comics? Was that any good, or was it forgettable at most? Apparently, elements of Superman Red/Superman Blue were incorporated into this project, given the "energy suit" that was being crafted out of LED and neon lights. And yeah, that was a bad idea among the hundreds of other bad ideas in this project.

    TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs is this Sunday on PPV and the WWE Network. Here's the card: WWE Heavyweight Championship TLC Match: Sheamus © vs. Roman Reigns - Since this is the main event, don't expect piss breaks anymore, as everyone will be headed back to the parking lot. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Kevin Owens © vs. Dean Ambrose - As Ambrose's championship momentum quickly deflated after Survivor Series, his only hope for relevance will be this match. WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match: The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E or Xavier Woods) © vs. The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) vs. The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto & Sin Cara) - Regardless of the outcome, the Botcha Dragons will not be winning this match. WWE Divas Championship: Charlotte © vs. Paige - Any interest in this feud is non-existent at most, but expect Paige to win and Ric Flair to screw over his daughter, accidental or not. Tables Elimination Match: The ECW Originals (The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer, & Rhyno) vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, & Braun Strowman) - Probably the only interesting match on the card. WWE United States Championship Chairs Match: Alberto Del Rio © vs. Jack Swagger - WWE doesn't owe Swagger any favors, so expect Del Rio to keep the belt. Besides, it would be better if this were a musical chairs match.

    Originally composed by Rodgers and Hammerstein for The Sound of Music, "Edelweiss" is the perfect song to open this series.

    Since Gundam Marker is alcohol-based, you can use isopropyl alcohol to remove excess paint.

    Perhaps one of the biggest contributions to the canning of this project is what I call the "Superhero Movie Crash of 1996-1997." On those two years, we were hit with not only Batman & Robin, but also Spawn, Steel, Barb Wire, and The Phantom. None of these films met their expectations both financially and critically, and they were enough to tell the general public that superhero movies had jumped the shark. After Joel Schumacher received numerous death threats over Batman & Robin, WB had enough with superhero movies. In addition to Superman Lives, WB also scrapped Batman Triumphant, which was supposed to be a direct follow-up to Batman & Robin. The film would have introduced Scarecrow and Harley Quinn - the latter as the Joker's daughter intent on avenging his death.

    I've read somewhere that it's a cultural thing. While western audiences watch a trailer and go see the movie to know how it ends, the Japanese audience watch a trailer with the ending and go see the movie to know the whole story. Case in point: the Seven Samurai trailer immediately gave away the fact that four of the seven Samurai died in battle, leaving viewers wondering who they were and what they were fighting for.

    If you thought this trailer gave away too much, just wait for the Japanese trailer. The Japanese are notorious for giving away endings on their trailers.

    1. Everyone said the same thing when he did Batman, but yeah - Supes is not his style. But with Kevin Smith as the writer, who knows what the movie would've looked like without Jon Peters' input? 2. The same was said about Michael Keaton as Batman, except they were really desperate to get Nicolas Cage because he won an Oscar that decade. Also, I read somewhere that Superman Lives supposedly featured a cameo by Keaton.

    Yeah, I had to fix that link. For once, I thought Schnepp uploaded the entire documentary on YouTube, but he decided to troll us all after the 10-minute mark. Fortunately, I was able to source a copy of the full film a month ago.

    The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened? is a documentary written and directed by Jon Schnepp (Metalocalypse). It gives an in-depth look at Superman Lives, an aborted attempt at bringing Superman back to the big screen in the mid-1990s by producer Jon Peters (Batman, Superman Returns) and director Tim Burton (Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice), with Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider, Castor Troy in Face/Off) in the title role. Right from the get-go, the project was rife with problems - majority of which were caused by Peters' outlandish depictions of Superman and Brainiac. And right when Nicolas Cage had just finished a few costume tests, Warner Bros. pulled the plug on the film. While Peters' idea of having Brainiac as a robotic spider never materialized, it was recycled in the 1999 bomb Wild Wild West. People involved in Superman Lives such as Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) have moved on to more successful projects. So for those who were utterly disappointed by Superman Returns and Man of Steel, it could've been worse. Here's Chris Stuckmann's review of the documentary: And here are pics of the costumes that Cage tested: Official Site EDIT: Schnepp, the goddamn troll...

    It's too bad Jem & the Holograms didn't make the list because it just came out; otherwise, it would be #1.

    I can't wait to see what jokes they'll pull on the sequel.
