Don't read the spoilers unless you read Sin City, or don't care.

The Sin City sequel/prequel just had better have the fight where Marv crushes Manute, knocks his eye out and wears his hat. Best 'fight' ever.

Only a very simple man would pick the poster of a movie he was moved by, to represent it's significance of influencing him. The more nuanced and detailed man will select specific imagery that moved him.

I am trying to think of a JLA-type story that would transition well to the big screen. Initial thoughts are some sort of 'For The Man Who Has Everything' situation, where a villain neutralizes Superman and everyone else has to rescue him, then at the end they do that thing where they save the universe.

It's almost impossible to project a JLA movie before seeing Man of Steel (for which I have oddly high hopes).

Iron Man had a nearly perfect first act, everything leading up to the tunnel escape is incredible. The second act was highly entertaining but the third fell flat. I don't like when the villain is tied into every bad thing that happens in the world, and I didn't care for the major battle sequence.

Quicksilver was awesome because he was the first character that I read as a kid who was an outright dick to everyone. Wolverine sort of tried but he always had good intentions. Quicksilver was just a cocky, impatient motherfucker to everyone and I was like 'woah, you can be an rear end in a top hat and a hero'.

I assume he was a hero at some point, he fought bad guys sometimes right.

Dude has giant knives in his hands and he could be just punching people with bare fists since the end result is the same to the viewer. How awesomely brutal would it be to really see him loving people up with some really over the top Tarantinoish blood and gore? But no, *shing & woosh*. Yawn.

*Sigh*, no I'm not. Under his own power Wolverine is a dude with a heavy metal skeleton whose means of attack are knives attached to his arms. He has no innate way to move himself quickly across a field like Spider-man can with his webs, or methods of attack like Captain America's shield.

The fact that his metal skeleton is so heavy is a complete botch by some idiot working on a Marvel database. Originally, it was eight lbs of Adamantium lacing through his skeleton. Then some dork one day made his 'bone skeleton' weight about 100 lbs less than his Adamantium weight, and it became a valid notion instead of a stupid idea. His bones aren't solid metal, they're coated in a very thin layer of the stuff.

In Thor's defense, Tony Stark is a really smug, punchable bastard and was making fun of him. I agree about not hitting Cap but it isn't alien for Thor to have a Wolverine-like berserk rage and go a little over the top.

So now that Wesley Snipes is out of prison can we expect to see Blade in Avengers 2?

Wesley Snipes was the worlds biggest piece of human poo poo during production of the last Blade movie. You can search the stories.

I think they would go with someone a lot less troublesome and cheaper, if they wanted to use Blade again.

I would really expect the character more in a Heroes For Hire, or Ghost Rider type movie and I think he'd fit in better.

Wolverine is the worst superhero because he stabs people and then the blood on his claws is drawn into his body when they retract.

I don't care if he has a 'healing factor'; he may as well press feces into his knuckle wounds. He is gross and bad.

Wolverine is the best because he has Ninja + Samurai + CIA + Canadian CIA + WW2 Paratrooper + SHIELD + whatever else trainings, and he has 100 years of drunk street bawling experience, and he has an unbreakable skeleton (literally unbreakable, Hulk can't break it in 616), plus he bangs literally every hot chick and every bad guy respects the poo poo out of him.

None of that was sarcasm, Wolverine is the best comic book super hero.

How awesome is it that, despite all tropes and expectations, HE was carrying on Xavier's legacy because Cyclops was weak enough to succumb to Magneto's BS.


Cyclops: "A BUNCH OF MUTANTS DIED!"

Wolverine: "..yeah but all sorts of people die. We gotta maintain. Remember what Chuck used to..."

Cyclops: "gently caress THAT I'M GONNA PISS AND CRY AND TURN HEEL."

Wolverine: "..."








In conclusion, Wolverine is a land of contrast.

Like I said elsewhere, the movie must be loving horrible if it needs a year to retool.

Which makes no sense, Miller wrote a lot of good Sin City stuff and the first movie basically storyboarded a handful of the comics. We haven't even seen (this is an actual spoiler) Marv literally beat the eyes out of Manute's skull.. Easily one of my favorite fights ever since they were built to be equals and then, nope. One guy just casually pastes the other into goo.

The problem with Sin City was the acting was GODAWFUL and some scenes felt more like auditions than actual filmed stuff (Miller's notoriously self-aware and "reads better than it sounds" dialogue didn't help). The infamous "bum ticker" scene comes to mind and I remember cringing in the theatre in 2005 when it happened. That said, I enjoyed the movie for the look and vibe and story and setting but good lord was the direction godawful at times (which I blamed for the acting) because it seemed like Rodriguez spent more time looking into his computer screen than anything (and judging from the behind the scenes feature, he was).

I will say, though, that Mickey Rourke nailed it as Marv and I'm glad they brought him back. He was the highlight of Sin City for me and mounted his comeback to Hollywood.

I have a bad habit, I fall in love with over acting. 'You fool, you drat fool.' was probably my favorite line of whatever year that movie came out in. Like, people over act pedantic poo poo all day long. Oh NOO the printer won't work. Oh Noo the coffee machine broke. Ohh Noo my psycho rapist cop boyfriend is getting chased after by my noir-vigilante new boyfriend. Ah poo poo ya killed him.

The Dark Knight was so loving good that I watched it on TNT a few hours ago even though I already own it in every media form possible and have seen it 500 times. It is just a fantastic rear end movie with a mind blowing cast. They even address what would happen if someone at Wayne Ent. figured things out and decided to blackmail Batman. The answer is, Lucius would just look at them like they were insane.

Random trivia - The Dark Knight was (is still?) the first 1 Billion dollar movie that made more money domestically, than internationally. It made around $540,000,000 in the US and around $460,000,000 internationally.

Batman is the most American of super heroes.

Also while we're here, Toby Maguire sucked terribly as both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. If I cared about the character I would be so mad.

Early early impressions of The Wolverine have been generally positive but not effusive

It's at 83 percent on RT with 6 reviews in

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_wolverine_2012/

I know, early RT scores are always building up hopes just to shatter them on the rocky shores. It sounds like a decent movie.
