Dragon Tattoo..... criticizing movies that he hasnt seen yet.

How would he do that exactly? Time travel?

This is incorrect. Sony has to make a Spider-Man movie every five years or the rights automatically revert to Marvel. That is why they fired Raimi when he asked for more time and started this rush-job with Marc Webb. These time periods are built into the contracts so Sony can't hold the rights to Spider-Man and just sit on it, when Marvel could be making money off of the character.

Yes. I would think that much was obvious.

The end result of the "turn your brain off and enjoy" philosophy of summer movie-going.

ok...now...could you find the most detailed look at those rights cuz I'd like to know more about them.

So in the case of Blade....what w/ him? Is he now Marvel officially?

Cool thanks, I thought I read one that said that's no longer the case.

I know Disney bought the marketing rights to spidey back, do they share that profit with Sony, or is it all theirs? It seems odd of Sony to dump the marketing portion.

And that's one geek who is not gonna take it, anymore?

This says Punisher and Blade are both fully back with Marvel.

Amen!

He would have to set my house on fire for me to hate him that much.



I'm perplexed that anyone would think this looks like a good movie based on a trailer. Unless you LOVED all three Transformers movies, I see no redeeming qualities in the trailer. None. Not one.

Anywho... my prediction for the weekend... Avengers grosses $62 million.

Things might have changed, but the scenario I described earlier is how things were when Sony decided to dump Raimi and fast-track a reboot. I would guess that it's still the case since TASM is coming out exactly five years after Spider-Man 3.

I dunno, it looks like a lot of people are interested in a movie based on a board game over here:

I'm not saying any real care/thought went into Battleship, but the source material itself shouldn't automatically dictate whether the movie will suck. People insulted the shit out of Pirates of the Caribbean being based on a freaking ride, but that franchise is still alive today. On the other side of it, that Haunted Mansion movie crashed and burned.

It looks about the same as ASM to me. But I didn't make that Mummy Returns comparison.

Again, where is your open mind?

In the basement with my copy of the game.

Yeah, those movies suck, too.

That reminds me, isn't there a Risk movie coming out soon? And Monopoly too?

... no. Can't be. He's dead...

I'd argue that PoTC 1 was good.

There was a time when reading wasn't just for ****. And neither was writing. People wrote books and movies. Movies with stories, that made you care about whose ass it was and why it was farting. And I believe that time can come again!

All I want to know is if Liam Neeson yells "You sunk my battleship!" at some point during the movie, and if they give some explanation for why an Irish guy is captaining US ships that were decommissioned 20 years ago.

I'm not willing to sit through the movie to find out though.

It was in the script but apparently Peter Berg cut that shit out so people would take his movie seriously.

Right next to your Spidey comics, I suppose.

I don't think Berg's Directorial Filmography is anything to be very ashamed of

Get out of my house.
