Feel rather that I should attack yr defence of hellboy and see how it holds up and you can similarly test my opinion that Watchmen is somewhat of a genre pinnacle and we'll really start seeing the shape of things

Kung Fu hustle all reasonable ppl agree is close to the new millenniums best mix of action, comedy, pathos....but will you acknowledge that the good, the bad, the weird is a worthy effort in the same vein

If Rian Johnson could trade one of his upcoming Star Wars universe movies to Stephen Chow I’d pay quadruple for tickets to watch it in a broom closet with five other people on a laptop

Hmm I'd rather have him helm an Indiana Jones, think his kinetic eye would be wasted in space perhaps
Actually what's he done since Kung Fu hustle that i should be grabbing?

superhero movies are fun
my faves are batman 1989, batman begins, dark knight, capt america, thor 1 was decent
is sin city a superhero movie? or just a movie based on a comic i guess, id throw that one in there
kinda got bored of watchmen, fell asleep at one point iirc
one of the xmen movies shld be in there, cant remember which one bc most of them are so bad its embarrassing
i think thats abt it

watchmen is good not bad in the sense that it transmits well the badness of the bad comicstrip it bring to life

i was absolutely horrified to find myself touched when the stan lee brigade showed up to kick ass i think i had let my guard down by then
listen now
when they play battleship and the fella says "when we fire theyll know where we are ok" and everyone looks wise like egyptian cats for a second right
was that not the time to come up with the notion of firing and *moving*
like
idk
the fact that yerman personally burnt three ships before it struck him to avoid the enemy missiles AND THAT WAS THEIR BIG FINISHING MOVE tickled me
also the rolling chainsaws that tear apart motorways but get stuck when rihanna closes a door on them, that was good
there was more but i cant oh yes the guy beating the alien up yerman with the metal legs that did not strike me as remotely plausible
also why would the aliens not just come back again that plot subtlety evaded me but dont get me wrong this was a fine example of what it was whatever it was
