Someone didn't read the whole thread, did they?

Also, any Hitchcock film. All of them. From "Psycho" to "The Birds" to "Vertigo" to name a few.

Haha, sorry... I just got 'em in the mail from Netflix and I was oh-so excited... must have had a brain fart.

I watched the second Fantastic Four film the other day.  I haven't seen the first one, so I really can't compare, but...dear God.  I wanted to put a brick through my television.

Susan Richard (nee Storm) should never have been played by Jessica Alba.  In the comics, she's not retarded.

Also?  Galactus is way more than just a cloud that eats planets.  He's the Devourer of Worlds, wielder of the Power Cosmic, and generally pants-shitteningly scary.

Ha, true. My guess is that they had a hard time "modernizing" Galactus... Though the villain himself is completely terrifying... he had a pretty stupid costume.

Highlander 2 didn't live by its own principle... "There can only be one"... one good Highlander. Anyone catch thet dtv sequel that came out a year or so ago? Awful... just awful.

I had another thought too... I think Hellboy 2 far outdoes its predecessor.

Agree on the PotC3 thing. ;P Will Turner is just a pansy boy!

I've disowned Spiderman 3... not because of the emo-peter parker thing... but because they just ruined Venom for me. Topher Grace is a PERFECT choice for Eddie Brock... but not for Venom. And the rendering they did of him felt more like Carnage tahn Venom to me... if Carnage had a person inside of him, that it.  Venom is supposed to be HUGE! And have a deep, growling voice! Bleh.

X2 and X3 are both better than the first, though I do have my beefs with X3... Namely,. they made Angel a pansy-boy (they ruined my favourite X-Person!) and the whole final battle very much felt like it was filmed on a stage. I don't expect them to go out of their way and rennovate Alcatraz for a comic book movie, I just wish I hadn't been so aware that I was watching a movie at that point.

I don't know if anyone has seen the new Wolverine trailer, but it looks to be a VERY promising sequel/prequel.

PotC2, The Second Mummy movie, 28 Weeks Later, Austin Powers 2, and Jurrasic Park 2 and 3 are pretty fun. And, of course, Terminator 2 is awesome, and I kinda like 3 as well.  Super psyched to see 4 next summer too.

Hi, my name is Ian, and I'm a geek.

I've gotten super bored recently... stumbled upon this site, so i thought I'd mosey around (and who can mosey around better than a geek) and see whats up.

My geeky interests include (but are not limited to):
-Vidjagames
-Movies
-Television
-Comics (MArvel mainly, but I'm branching out to some Indies, and non-DC universe DC stuff)
-Disney

So... yep. Fell free to ask any questions!  :-D
