I'd agree with fewer of them, but I don't need them to go completely away. -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 17, 12:00
I disagree 100%. -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 11:57 1

....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
Just cause your sucky hero doesn't make for good movies... -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 11:50 3
- It's funny because it's true! -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 11:52
- they're. all. the. same. movie. -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 17, 11:52 1
  - Just as movies were before them. -- nm - skags Dec 17, 11:52
