The Best Part of ‘Predator

X-men Origins: Wolverine trailer

Its a bootleg, but there are some decent reveals in there. Personally, I’m not thrilled with a Wolverine solo series, especailly with the abysmal X3 still fresh in my mind. But the additions of Deadpool and Gambit have grabbed my interest.

Iron Man vs. Batman at the box office

kittykittybangbang:

…to put into perspective just how massive the new (and utterly, mindnumbingly fantastic) Batman movie is, ponder this: In it’s 13th weekend, Iron Man has made $314,925,955. Impressive, right? In it’s second weekend, The Dark Knight has raked in $313,781,677.

I loved both, so it’s like Sophie’s Choice picking a favorite, but which did you prefer?

Ugh. I can’t decide either. The Dark Knight is such a perfect film I almost want it to die. Its beauty makes the rest of the world too ugly to bear.

Dude! What did you think of Batman?

I loved it. I thought it was amazing. There some were moments where I felt it was to long, but by the end I wish it could go on forever. Ledger was amazing, but so were Eckart and Oldman. Christine Bale won’t get a lot of credit for it, but he was great to.

By the end of the movie, it was taking all my will power not to full-out sob. Ask Shannon— I was a mess. There was a tremendous amount of respect given to the source material and the morality play depicted was easily the strongest I’ve seen in a superhero film. I was touched, moved by that respect. I’ll never need validation for being a comic book fan, but movies like The Dark Knight certainly help demonstrate why I care for them so much.

Absolutely fantastic. We are planning on seeing it again next weekend in an IMAX theatre.

If you want to read, go to a comic shop or book store and grab the following:

In case you haven’t heard, the Watchmen trailer is up on Apple. Watch it as soon as possible, and begin your lust for 2009.

Who watches the Watchmen?

Some “ha-ha’s” from Ron Burgundy. My favorite line?

“Gah. Milk was a bad choice.”

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn’t it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.

Great Thanksgiving Movie: Dutch

From IMDB: Volunteering to drive his girl friend’s son home for Thanksgiving to Chicago from his boarding school in Georgia, little does Dutch expect the picaresque adventures in store for him. When a blunt, down-to-earth construction worker takes to the road with an insufferable twelve-year-old snob (desperately insecure under the surface) who doesn’t approve of him in the least, quite a bit must happen before they can reach their destination as friends— or, for that matter, get home at all.

Doyle: “I could have frozen to death, you asshole!”

Dutch: “I don’t think you would have frozen. Not solid, anyway, it’s not quite cold enough for that. Here’s the deal, Dobsie— I don’t screw around. You piss me off, I react. I’m not your daddy, I’m not your friend, I’m not your uncle. I’m a working-class nobody, and I don’t take crap from kiddies.”
