Like Comics, Except The Pictures Move: Movies, Games, and Television

Faynor

Do you like comic book movies like these?

What about video games like these?

Also I guess Heroes and Smallville are still on? But who watches those? Bad people that's who. But here's pictures of them anyway.

So, talk about this crap here and stuff! Maybe I'll put more effort into this OP tomorrow.

Faynor

Oh, and also. One of the reasons I realized we didn't have this thread anymore.

Sam Raimi spoke with MTV News about the fourth film. As each film has examined Peter Parker's emerging sense of responsibility, the director says the film will be about "the growth of that understanding, that it encompasses more than just his sense of duty toward others but he also has a sense of responsibility as a human being toward the ones he loves."

Starring Toby Maguire, release date: May 5th, 2011

So, maybe they'll be focusing more on the Peter Parker side? I'm not sure how to interpret that.

Garlic Bread

Oh, so we won't even get the 15 minutes of him in the mask that was in 2 and 3?

Garlic Bread

(also, comics are a visual medium already)

The Lovely Bastard

no see this will be based on him unmasking in civil war

he will just walk around in civilian clothes shooting webs and punching Mysterio

Faynor

Well first I had it as visual media but it's sounding wrong

whateverrr I'm tired

Better?!

HadjiQuest

I was thinking about things like the Spawn toon in the late 90s and the upcoming but constantly delayed black panther thing for BET.

Why can't we have a really mature, short-form Daredevil series? It would be incredible.

Witch_Hunter_84

Have they discussed the fact that Kirsten Dunst has been wanting out of the franchise yet?

Come on Faynor. Nobody liked Superman 64.

I don't think she's under contract for a 4th movie like everyone else.

Robos A Go Go

Kristen Dunst can't possibly have much in the way of career opportunities outside of Spider-Man.

TexiKen

Maybe she'll come back and do Interview With a Vampire 2 since everyone is on vampire kicks right now.

Robos A Go Go

Supporting role in a direct to video Bring It On sequel.

Wildcat

Plus it would give Eliza Dushku something to do when Dollhouse tanks.

Robos A Go Go

Whedon would never let that happen.

Munch

I never really understand it when actors decide they want to leave enormously successful franchises.

If someone was paying me seven figures to do a movie, I'd ride that for as long as I could, build a giant Scrooge McDuck-style money vault, and worry about artistic integrity and typecasting later.

Robos A Go Go

In some cases the actor finds he or she could be landing bigger, higher paying roles, but doesn't have room in his or her schedule due to the pre-existing obligation presented by the franchise. This is Kristen Dunst we're talking about, though, so I doubt that applies here.

TexiKen

Playing Marie Antoinette was her downfall.

Robos A Go Go

Apparently she wants to play the lead singer of Blondie in Michel Gondry's biopic of the band. Spider-Man 4 would likely get in the way of that.

Munch

I guess I can admire someone turning down a high-paying gig to do something they find more personally satisfying, especially when they already have a giant pile of money, but man, trying to wrap my head around the concept of actually doing it is tough. Maybe it's just because I'm a terrible sellout, but if someone told me they wanted to chain me to my drafting table for a year to write and draw The Adventures of Dr. Light in Rapeland, and they'd pay me millions of dollars for my time, I'd be all, "Alright, who gets Dibny'd first? Oh, Blue Beetle? Well, as long as the checks clear."

Wildcat

Dunst as Debbie Harry? No, thank you.

Munch

I haven't really seen the Planet Hulk Trailer discussed yet. I think it looks pretty good, and seems to be rather faithful to the comics.

Maybe the secret to making good Marvel cartoons is to include the Hulk?

I think it was more that she and Tobey hated each other, because supposedly he is a massive dick. I guess when you're talking about millions of dollars, being miserable isn't that bad, but she has been doing this for years and years.

Although maybe it is the other way around and she is terrible and Tobey is a nice guy.

Garlic Bread

On the one hand, Kirsten was in Bring It On

On the other hand, Tobey Maguire was in Pleasantville

I think I'll go with Kirsten is more awesome

Robos A Go Go

I don't like the voices very much and I think the animation style is a little bland, but that Hulk film is still probably going to be pretty good.

Witch_Hunter_84

They should just kill off Mary-Jane and have Tobey McGuire get together with Bryce Dallas Howard's Gwen Stacy character for the love interest.

Faynor

Rest assured, I have fixed the image, Ringo.

But anyways, I used to like Kristin Dunst. Well, not like, but I didn't mind her. I didn't even mind her in Spider-Man 1 and most of 2. But ugh. That quote when she's like, "I think Spider-Man should like, die! And then Mary Jane can raise his Spider-Baby! That'd be a great film!

Shut up, Dunst.

Garlic Bread

It's the future Mephisto stopped

Faynor

Kirsten Dunst is Mephisto.

I know right? Like take Megan Foxx who is all feeling all objectified by the Transformers films and Michael Bay. So what does she do? Make Jennifer's Body! She's dopey.

Witch_Hunter_84

Yes, but she did turn down a dozen roles that wanted to cast her as a stripper before that. She may have just ran out of options. Either don't work, or make an objectifying movie.

Faynor

I was unaware, but apparently the Spider-Woman motion comics are on Hulu.

Not really digging the voice!

emnmnme

Heh, I was reading one of the Skrull Invasion trades and one Skrull wanted to learn more about earth's heroes. He went inside a bookstore and bought the Ultimate Avengers DVD ... there were also posters on the wall for the Iron Man and Wolverine movies. The real posters.

meggan fox is a moron. she has no idea that all she is, is possibly the sexiest girl on the planet. I mean thats it. the very sexiest...depending on your point of view. I don't care that she's dumb or a bad actress. What I do care about, is that no one has told her. someone (like her mom) should sit her down with some pictures of her and explain it, slowly so she'll somewhat understand. no speaky. She was lucky to be cast in the giant robots movie, and now she gets to be in a film that would never have been made if juno hadn't been so very fucking cute.

that being said i want to rail meggan fox something fierce. I would also like to sleep with kisten dunst and so many many other hot women.

I also find the spider baby idea to be funny.

my point is...famke jansen was pretty hot in those xmen movies. I hated x-men 3, but i was pretty disappointed when that scene with her and wolverine in the infirmary didn't go full blown porno. I think if they had done that, i wouldn't have minded the rest of the ratner suckfest.

What the fuck?

TexiKen

Meggan Fox's arm tattoo scares me.

I had almost this same post typed up about an hour ago.

Then I just kind of stared at it for a while and let it really sink in instead of posting.

ManonvonSuperock

yeah, planet hulk trailer looks stiff, generic, and lifeless. disappointed.

also, dejesus you're at the top of my list -shortly followed by hensler, for having opinions so ridiculously bad that you're either the epitome of what's wrong with comic fans or perpetually trolling.

I'm so verry sorry, but I have to agree with Munch on this one. If I'm going to subscribe to your intellectual newspaper sir, I need you to expand on your hypothesis.
