Fair enough.  I'm not sure whom (other than a few folks who already do them) I would like to see do superhero films.

I was thinking maybe William Friedkin.

The movie sucked because it was boring.  Superman I had a real estate scheme, this one was just a variation on that, with more special effects.
PDH!

A Kubrick superhero movie would have been pretty great.  Don't know what exactly I'd like him to have done, though.  Sandman?  That'd have been neat.

Kubrick would have made an awesome Watchman

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Just bought the complete Outland. :smoke:

Really shouldn't be shelling out cash right now, but I couldn't let it sit there.  Berke Breathed. :wub:

This screen in the X-Men animated series made me laugh:



Yeah, that looks about right.

Just watched X-Men First Class, pretty good even despite its screwing with the timeline.

I've started reading the Dark Horse Conan series. So far I like it (11 issues in). I liked the adaptation of "The God in the Bowl" quite a bit.

That was the whole point of the film--integrating mutants into the timeline.  I though it was exceptionally well-done, though the actress playing Mystique was awful.

I meant the internal timeline of the films. Unless I'm seriously misremembering things than the first three just don't make sense if Professor X and Mystique grew up together.

Ah, gotcha.  No, I think the point of First Class was to reboot the series completely.  At least, I hope so--though that would make Jackman's cameo strange in terms of continuity.

First Class was made so Sony can keep movie options on the materials.  Just like the latest Spiderman movie. Quality is secondary. 

I think they did a decent job with Spiderman though.
PDH!

Looks like he could have done well in the construction industry.

Also, love the look on the face of the orphanage attendants.
