    So is Chris Sims ever going to resume his comic book movie reviews or what
    When Comics Alliance was shut down Chris and Matt started doing Movie Fighters. I don't think they're going to review movies together on CA anymore.

    Which is disappointing in a lot of ways. They seem to be skewing towards "Watch only bad movies and complain about them" and the internet has plenty of those guys.

    yeah, Ip Man is a popular character for hong kong filmakers

    I'm pretty sure there are two different, competing, multi-movie franchises about him at the moment

    Wait until you see how many movies they've made about Wong Fei Hung.

    Every martial arts movie is secretly about Wong Fei Hung

    I really wish the focus in Forbidden Kingdom was on Jet Li and Jackie Chan instead of what's-his-face.

    Everyone thinks that. It's like saying "I prefer not to be eaten by roaches" or "Pacific Rim is a fine cinematic experience."

    When you look at the real Ip Man's photo on Wikipedia, he somehow doesn't look like a guy who would repeatedly hammer his fist into some Japanese dude's forehead until he's presumably dead

  • Moth 13Moth 13 Registered User regular
    Ooooooooooohhh. His name is Ip Man. I thought it was about a guy who worked with Intellectual Property or something.

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    I still prefer to call him "the Ip Man" since it sounds more exciting that way.

    No he is the best.

    Like near the beginning of his new ongoing when he went from a mansion heist to fighting inter dimensional space dragons to sassing the queen of England in like seven issues.

    He's just very ridiculous, you know?

    The new "Martin Scorsese and Samual L. Jackson Present: The Grand Master" is absolutely not being billed as "the true story of Ip Man".

    The trailers I've seen specifically say "inspired by the true story of the man who trained Bruce Lee".

    I feel like 90 minutes might not be enough time to really tell that story properly.

    But the costuming looks pretty righteous.

    I think it's meant to be the begin of a series, not a stand-alone, so they won't have to tell the whole story
