Superman Returns

Citing an internet forum as evidence is akin to asking a 5 year old what he thinks of international relations during the Regan administration.

You just bury yourself deeper with that Kevin Smith garbage

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, wait a minute. The internet has taught us nothing if not "Buyer Beware". Case in point - Megalith. Now he came along before the crash and stuck his finger up all our asses with the news that AintItCoolNews has it confirmed that Jack Black will play Kyle Rayner in the Green Lantern movie.

The next week Jack Black, his agent and D*C told everyone that it was bullshit. There was no GL movie. Theres been 5 or 6 scripts opted for the last decade but none of them were worth note.

I'm cynical because I've seen this "dog and pony show" before. The internet is quick to denounce what it disagrees with but is quick to support something if majority rules. That doesn't hold any water with me.

And for the record - John Williams is now the second most nominated man in Oscar history (and I believe tied for second in living ((composer)) Oscar wins with John Barry? but beaten by Alan Menken) and what does Danny Elfman have? A shitty narrowly redundant career in which he hates himself and what he does. Elfman is a hack, a has been and someone who continues to cash in on his former (admittedly excellent) glory days before Tim Burton movies became cliches of themselves.

John Williams = 45, Danny Elfman = 3

Most amazing jew boots

Vangelis can't read sheet and he has an Oscar.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have no clue where your jump in logic about "they think he doesn't write his own music" comes from. If they thought that, they obviously wouldn't have nominated him.

But it may explain why he heavily sucks when he doesn't have a good orchestrator. Or can the internet finally admit that Shirley Walker had more to do with why Batman is a classic score?

Ottman is very hit or miss. I love some of his stuff (Apt Pupil, Fantastic Four, Usual Suspects) and don't care for others (X2). I was talking to him late last year and he has a lot of worries about doing this movie because it's doubly hard - not only is it John Williams's theme but Ottman is a HUGE fan of Williams. He's very fanboyish when it comes to certain scores from the 70s and 80s.

Well, let us not forget that Superman was created by two Jews.

Thats the only bit of casting I wish was undone. They hire Frank Langella but have him play Perry White? If there was ever a man to play Lex Luthor, it's him!

FELIPE NO

Its you.

Wheres my Superman Returns score, internet?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Solaris is a strange pick. X2 was tempt tracked with Empire Strikes Back and Wrath Of Kahn and look how that disc turned out. I have much faith in the man

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're also a worthless fucking troll. Shut the fuck up, small-dick.

Very well said. Superman and Lex are two opposites - Clark grew up on a farm in a small town and amounted to being the ubermensch of humanity - while Lex is seen as a powerful man of the people, he's actually just a damned criminal jerk.

One random internet entry from an unlinked source review does not undo any movie.

Jesus Christ - and this guy posted his opinion? What ever happened to good taste or intelligence?

Thats the dumbest fucking review Ive read in ages. Worse than the fucker who wrote into Ebert and accused George Lucas of being anti-Bush for opening Revenge Of The Sith in the middle of the week.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

People ducking out of work en masse affected the economical stability of the nation or something.

Also - your goddamned girlfriend is fat. Tell her to stop eating all that cake and all those Honda Accords so you can find the TV remote in her disgusting, sore-pocked fat rolls.

WolfDemon is somehow dating Amy-Chan. I'm sure you remember the drama we had with her a while back.

A lot of people dislike the Phantom for reasons I will never understand. It's written by the guy who did Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, directed by the guy who did Lonesome Dove and Quigly Down Under. Has Treat Williams, Billy Zane, Catherine Zeta Jones, Christy Swanson, Patrick McGoohan.

Its a superhero version of Indiana Jones. Its not only FANTASTIC and campy but its completely honorable to its roots more so than any other comic book movie.
