I don't mind Michael Bay films. He does his thing and he does it pretty well, I guess whether or not you like his thing is a matter for personal preference.
I enjoyed The Rock and The Island, and Bad Boys was pretty awesome when it came out (I was younger then obviously, probably wouldn't be so keen now). And Transformers was pretty flawed, but I enjoyed it enough that I'll see the sequel.

Just have to turn off your brain and enjoy explosions.
Congrats. You've just written the Michael Bay guide to Directing. You need to get that shit published, ASAP.

There's a difference between asking someone to take something on faith and directly insulting them. Why should I have to turn my brain off? Whats wrong with keeping my brain on and enjoying explosions?
Spielberg seems to have no problem with doing action movies that don't actively try to make you retarded.
Guys, seriously? If you can't appreciate The Rock or Bad Boys 2 as pinnacles of the action movie genre... I just don't know what to say to you.
Bad Boys II is a goddamn abomination. There is nothing redeeming about that fucking excretion.
Bad Boys II is awesome. It's not a smart movie at all, but it's laughably and enjoyably bad. Plus Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are hilarious together
Yes, but George Lucas' name was in the credits too. We can blame him for Indy4 and keep Spielberg's name clean.
Spielberg's name hasn't been clean since A.I.
Fixed. Stanley Kubrick is the only one who made that thing even close to watchable.

other times you wanna see Sly Stallone arm wrestle.
Over the Top. Greatest arm-wrestling movie ever made. I love how they intercut the matches with documentary-style interviews in an attempt to rip off some of the best parts of Pumping Iron.
That said, I think I pretty much hate everyone who posted in the last day or so except for TLB.
Right before I watched it I was thinking of Secret Invasion and Civil War and wondering what it would be like to play one of those story lines.

Each volume of the 90s X-men toon on DVD will be 16/17 episodes. This means, since the first two seasons were only 13 episodes each, that each set contains well over a full season, and by the end of the two sets you''re already 9 episodes into season 3.

is this not loading for anyone else?
i tried to get to it from marvel.com in case it was a url thing, probably just heavy traffic?
It's not loading for me now... it was yesterday.
And thank god they dropped Fusion from the title... I wonder if it will play like two games, one pro-reg one anti-reg?

I loved that as a kid but I don't think it's held up very well.

I was rewatching that a couple years ago, and I discovered that Wolverine pops his claws in order to accentuate every single line he has. Before the fight starts, three times throughout the fight, and after the fight is over, SNIKT SNIKT. Apparently he puts them away immediately afterwards so he can look badass for the next one-liner.

The '90s X-Men cartoon is pretty much this generation's version of the "when I was your age..." aphorism. Compared to what kids enjoy nowadays it's pretty torturous, but by gum, that's all we had back then, and we loved it.

The further it went, the worse it got. Seasons 1 and 2 are still pretty decent (by no means great), but I've noticed that about midway through season three the show got really shitty. Once they caught up to the comics in terms of storylines, it was just a clusterfuck of hilarity with only a few breaks up to the end of the series. Fabian Cortez, constant 80s SatAM styled plots with Apocolypse, and a really unfortunate episode where the brood sexually violate wolverine round out the worst of the series.
If I had to bundle it by episodes, I'd give up right after Dark Phoenix.
Also, I'd love to see a season 4 set of X-Men: Evolution. It was pretty awful up to season 3, but it really made some strides in the last couple seasons.

Season 2 towards the end, and season 3 really found their stride. The last bit of the final episode, showing what the future had in store for the X-Men, was just... fantastic.

Well, they apparently had some dude's kid draw the cover art. I mean, fuck. Could they not have even licensed existing art from Marvel if they didn't want to pay a real artist to make a new picture?

Except we also had the Batman cartoon, and that's still good.

Yeah, but Batman's been a marketable franchise on the mainstream level since forever. The X-Men are ubiquitous now, sure, but back then they (and franchises on their level of comparative obscurity) were a harder sell.

I had no idea you could hide two entire legs inside of Wolverine's ass.
But seriously, that is ugly as sin. I'd normally be excited to buy them but that case would actually embarrass me.

Wasn't the chase scene really good?

I liked the part about how all the better comics were already done, so this was the next best thing.
For every (cheap) D-lister currently in works to get a movie, there's half a dozen good comics/characters that have been skipped over.
Edit: isn't Spielberg responsible for Indy 4?
heheheheheh
Bad Boys II is awesome. It's not a smart movie at all, but it's laughably and enjoyably bad. Plus Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are hilarious together
Yes, but George Lucas' name was in the credits too. We can blame him for Indy4 and keep Spielberg's name clean.
Ever.
Spielberg's name hasn't been clean since War of the Worlds
Fixed. Stanley Kubrick is the only one who made that thing even close to watchable.

Also, it looks like they dropped "Fusion" from the title.
I'm assuming you all saw the American Express ad that Bay did, right?

Batman doesn't even seem old, though, considering it had a solid continuity through the end of JLU, and that ended just what, 1-2 years ago?
I'd like to think that's just a throwback to the amazing 80's X-Men poster where Havok is floating without any legs.
