Thor TV spot, pretty much rehash of footage we've seen before.... now with new 'n' improved 5% added Troll flavour.

Thats seemless CGI putting Chris's head on that shorter skinnier body. Red Skull looks nice 'n' nasty and great to see again the interior of that Hydra base in there @0:22 secs - brings back happy memories as I was walking around in there a couple of months ago, and I've gotta say the attention to detail is amazing.
Also, 0:20 secs is Cap with a gun so no reservations about using arms either. -
Quote:I disagree. Tell me, exactly how much does a Stark designed wafer-thin vibranium chainmail weigh?.... hmm?Originally Posted by Warp_Factor
Because chain mail makes no sense in any sort of remotely realistic context. Seriously, stop and think about it. Chain mail weighs way too much compared to any modern armor and it doesn't stop any modern weapon a guy like Cap would need to worry about. Modern movie viewers and comic book readers expect a little more realism than that. Put Cap in chain mail in the movie and it would push the costume from "kind of tough to believe, but I'll give it a chance" to "that's effin' stupid, no one would wear that, what is he, in Lord of the Rings?" territory.
[insert plausible explanation here]. -

I've seen it described as chain before, but more often it seems to be depicted as scale armor. I'd love to see them do the outfit like that, but it seems they're trying to keep it closer to military in design.

Impressive!... Most Impressive!.

Bb Thorny, take care.

Quote:Thats why I enjoy the Donner cut more, all that nonsense is gone and the film is more rounded including a more emotive connection with his father in the Fortress. (Thanks for reminding me btw, i forgot I had that tucked away in a cupboard somewhere).Originally Posted by Nericus
The main problem with some things about Superman 2 was due to Donner being pulled off the project after most of the movie was filmed. Things like "throwing the S" and the Amnesia Kiss as I recall were not part of Donner's version.
And I thought the Airplane rescue scene in Superman Returns is the suspenseful quality that the rest of the film should of continued, unfortunately it descended into a mopey mess which wasn't Routh's fault. I thought he made a good Superman tbh, he didn't get the quality acting scenes to really get his teeth into the part in my opinion.
Lets face it, the original is the classic and as much as the studio wants another successful Superman trilogy or more, the story is so popular a movie adaptation will be attempted at least once every 10-15 years like clockwork. -
Good to see this film moving forward. Congratulations Mr Cavill, now.. off to the gym with you.

New set pictures emerge, and it occurs to me just how much the new suit looks like a spider-mankini.

The Westworld remake should be great. Nothing could possibly go worng.

Good ole' QMx, they do come up with some great products, Its just a shame that the two things i like most on their site are so darn expensive.
The U.S.S Enterprise (StarTrek XI) and Serenity ship replicas are a couple of thousand each, you've gotta be a fan of a whole new order to even consider those. -

I agree, Its definately in the 'so bad its good catagory' - no way to run a station.
I remember way back when we first saw SyFy here on BSkyB here in the U.K - then branded 'SciFi' with a little rocket elipse logo, It was actually pretty good for watchable programmes. -

Entertainment Weekly's interview with Matthew Vaughn;

Preview of the Prequel series = more like Battlestar Galactica. \o/

Spoilers ahead. -

...they'll be back for breakfast.
(new 6-part series airing mid-to-late 2012).
I agree with the writer at io9.com, 'Back to Earth' was terrible and I hope they capture some of the magic this show had in it's prime. -
Steel yourself... new shots show both Dredd's uniform and his lawmaster bike.

I can just hear the ******** over the black superhero being from Africa already.
It will be interesting to see how they try to balance the primal and technological in the film, though. I'm also curious to see if they manage to write it without having T'Challa come to America.
People are already blogging about potential actors like Djimon Hounsou.
Seems like he'd be perfect for the part, he's an award winning actor and certainly looks like he could portray him physically.
At 47 he is also old enough to portray a king of stature and experience (for heavens sakes Marvel don't give some kid in his twenties the role).
Besides, he'll be in the short-running for the part for sure having previously voiced the Marvel animation. -
Quote:Yes, I saw the Casper Van Dien film listed over at IMDB, but to be honest I consider my toilet-mat to be more of a potential box-office draw than Casper Van Dien films.... so i did the right thing and ignored it.Originally Posted by TrueGentleman
There was also the 1998 live-action bomb Tarzan and the Lost City.
At any rate, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra director Stephen Sommers is apparently still attached to direct this reboot/remake.

Quote:Avoiding any Disney animations, It was 1984: Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.Originally Posted by Nericus
Well I think it's been awhile since there was a Tarzan movie, and who knows who owns the rights to that now.
It won a crapton™ of nominations, It was (and is still) a damn good film. Its the definitive live-action Tarzan film in my opinion, the story and the cast were bloody brilliant, If you haven't seen it do yourself a favour and watch it!.
[EDIT]: In fact... thanks for the reminder, just picked a 2004-mastered brand-new copy of this 1984 film up at Amazon.co.uk for a mere £3.07. Bargain. -

You do realize, with the exception of being the ruler of a country, that is essentially the same "powers" that Batman has?

Quote:Originally Posted by MarvelT'Challa's Vibranium-weave uniform absorbs the kinetic force of impacts, rendering him bulletproof. His costume's gloves can generate energy daggers and house anti-metal claws that dissolve other metals on contact. His Kimoyo Card enables global communication, picks up satellite signals, and can block most radio transmissions. His boot soles are thick Vibranium alloy pads which can vibrate at various frequencies, allowing him to run up the sides of buildings, land soundlessly and without injury from a height of 50 feet, walk on water, or slice through metal. His costume is fitted with cloaking technology, allowing it to pass as normal street clothes. He also has access to the many specialized weapons and vehicles of Wakanda. The extent of technology T'Challa has access to is believed to be limitless.
