guys. guys. guys. guess whose flights home for christmas were *never moved from "reserved" to "booked" by corporate travel*? - amanda Dec 17, 12:00 17

- *ding* - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:06
- I got the same vibe -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 12:05
- oh god I hope not. This is one remake I've been waiting forever for. -- nm - Jovian Dec 17, 11:57
A little late but here's a video of my christmas party this year -- (link) - Guigue Dec 17, 11:53 [youtube] 4
- Late? ::looks at calendar:: -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 11:54 3
  - For some reason, it was december 3rd -- nm - Guigue Dec 17, 11:55 2
    - Call me wacky, but I would say that is early. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:01 1
      - I know, plus it was a Thursday. Still, we partied until 4 in the morning then finished the night with a nice hot poutine - Guigue Dec 17, 12:04
i really can't wait for superhero movies to go away - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 11:50 31

- I disagree 100%. -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 11:57 1
  - word -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 12:10
- ....and then maybe this cartoon fad can leave next. still waiting for them to get the hint after the Snow White snub. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 11:57 4
  - I'm waiting for these new-fangled talkies to go away -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 11:58 1
    - who needs color, it just distracts from the composition of the shots -- nm - Zhu-Zhugeist Dec 17, 12:26
  - animation is a technique, not a genre -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 11:58 1
    - it's true. i was equating likelihood of happening, not genre-to-genre. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 11:59
- as an aside, Superhero Movie was very funny -- nm - Jovian Dec 17, 11:56 4

  - How high were you when you watched it? Must've been VERY high... - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 11:57 2
    - Sometimes those movies just grab you. For example: Who's Your Caddy? Cracked my whole shit up. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 11:58 1
      - you're so . . . something like pretty -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 12:10
- Most of them do follw the same structure/pattern... but the same can be said of almost any genre of movie. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 11:56 10
  - and all genres burn themselves out eventually when they keep repeating the same formula - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 11:57 9
    - Lets count the number of westerns and compare it to the number of super hero movies. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:03 6
      - 99% of the movies in every genre are usually crap. the fact that hollywood made a whole bunch of crappy westerns and a handful of great ones does not - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 12:04 5
        
        I would say the ratio of good to crap is running a lot better with the super hero movies. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:07 4
        
        Did you SEE the second Fantastic Four? That alone cancels out at least half-a-dozen "good" ones. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 12:11 3
        
        Daredevil! Elektra! Catwoman!! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 12:12 2
        
        Daredevil was not crap. And what can be said, female super hero? -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:19 1

    - But movie studios have realised that movies based on known characters/stories are more profitable than movies based on star appeal - Roger More Dec 17, 12:01
- I agree that most of them are lame. If they're done right, it can be a beautiful thing. - CQ Dec 17, 11:54
- Good luck with that. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 11:52
- I dont think you will live that long -- nm - eag Dec 17, 11:51
