That’s… actually a really good theory. Heh. 
I was really hoping for Bill Murray to reprise his role as Johnny Storm, but I’ll go see it anyway. 
But … but … we have to watch it. The TV told us to.
…And Christian Bale is the most believable Bruce Wayne yet! I like it. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that this film appears to be headed for Turdburg, and I’m going to be on the first bus because I’m going with a bunch of friends.
I’ve got 2 free passes to see it tonight, so I’ll go.

Although I’ve a couple of comic book movies, and they were actually half way decent, every time a new comic book movie, or sequil comes out, I’m pretty apathetic, and if I watch one at all, it’s gonna be on DVD. Same with the Fantastic 4. However, if they make one where they battle Galactus, you better believe I’ll be there.
Ioan Gruffudd, mmmm.
Oh man, the original unreleased Fantastic Four movie was terrible. However, some parts were so hilariously bad they were good.
At one point, Dr. Doom is giving a long speech about his evil plan to our fantastic heroes. Now, since Dr. Doom wears a mask, the actor who plays him can’t really infuse him with the emotion he needs using facial expressions. Instead, he compensates with hand gestures. Over compensates, that is. When he describes the “laser” used by his plan, he makes a little gun with his right hand, and uses his left index finger to demonstrate the beam coming out of his little gun. At another point, he mentions “irony”. He comes up with a gesture where he makes two V’s with the middle and index fingers and points them towards each other, with the backs of his hands facing forward. If I ever get “irony” in charades I am so set. Assuming someone other than me has seen the movie that is .
To this day my friends and I still make the sign whenever someone mentions irony.
I’ve seen X-Men, Batman, Blade, Spiderman, Constantine, Daredevil, Elektra, Sin City etc…so yeah, I’ll go along and see it, fully expecting it to be rubbish. Can’t get off the comic book to movie adaptation rollercoaster, it’s a compulsion!
Well, I was a big fan of the '60s FF comix, so I’ll give the movie a shot. If it’s bad, and so far it looks like it’ll be somewhere between mediocre and truly dire, I’ll entertain myself by making fun of the characters. It’s all good.
Well, I haven’t seen FF window blinds, airline barf bags, dog clothing, Mr. Potato Heads, Legos, lottery tickets, marshmellow cereal, fruit snacks, pinatas, cookie jars, and new M&M and Pop Tart flavors.
Sith had all these things (plus the typical fast food/cel phone/action figure tie-ins), and much more.
Hilarious. Interesting when you think about the fact that Alba refused to appear nude in a role as a stripper.
Is she supposed to be a stripper in the Fantastic Four or are you referring to her role in Sin City? If so, I haven’t seen the movie, but I read an interview in Entertainment Weekly, where she and director discussed nudity, and she had absolutely no problem with it, but the director decided against it because the movie had plenty of nudity and violence, and so on already, and having Alba do nude scenes, in his opinion, would have been overkill.
That’s my only gripe with the new wave of super hero movies. Why the need to show the origin of each and every one of them? In some cases it takes up half the movie, so that nothing really great can even be shown until the second one. I had to wait 3 years for a good Spiderman movie (I really disliked the first one).
Why not take an example from the first Burton Batman film. No long drawn out origin stories. Bad guys are about, Batman comes in and whoops some ass.
What, are audiences these days mentally incapable of being able to handle being dropped into the middle of a story in progress? They need to see the entire set up?
That’s odd, because I thought I remembered reading an article in… was it Wired?.. that said she didn’t want to do nudity because of what her father would say. I think she then said something about how it would be bad enough having him see her in the skimpy costumes or something (note: I haven’t seen Sin City yet).
Well for that to happen they would need better superheroes first.

I am talking about Sin City. And if that’s what they said, then I have a big :dubious: regarding their honesty and forthrightness.
“Plenty of nudity and violence”? If that’s what they said; my only reaction is that I’m sick of people equating nudity and violence.
Aw, c’mon–I’m a Marvel fangirl, but Batman, Superman, et al. rock hardcore.
Let me get this straight - Jessica Alba said, “Hey, I’ll do a nude scene” and the director said, “Nah, that’s not necessary”?
I had a lot of respect for him after seeing Sin City. Now you tell me that he’s the enemy of men everywhere!
