Heheh, it looks awesome! I can't wait to see the theatrical length trailer!

It's such a big continuity error that someone HAD to have noticed it. There has to be more to it. There just HAS to be!

You know you've read too much Ender's Game when you not only began writing your own Ender's Game screenplay, but you've critiqued and adapted another written by a different person.

Batman Begins is without a doubt the best comic book adaption. I do agree with you to a certain extent... Spiderman is by far the best series (or whatever you want to call it), and while Batman Begins was a tremendous success I do have problems with it; little problems, but problems nonetheless. Sa...

Nicole, I really want to see Babel so I didn't read your review of it, but it's good to see you gave it a decent star rating.

I should be watching Walk the Line for the first time tonight, or tomorrow, so I should have a review of that up soon.

I tell you guys what, this place never seems to amaze me
Yeah...it never seems to amaze me, either.

It also doesn't cease to amaze me.

LOL, oops... You know what I meant...

Nicole, I absolutely LOVE your list...

I would have swore you saw Titan A.E., I seem to remember you complaining about how the combination of computer animation with old fashioned hand drawn animation just didn't mesh well... Hehe, who knows... I do know that it was partially written by Joss Whedon though, and he is a Big Damn Hero to so...

Hey buddy! It's good to see ya again. I tell you guys what, this place never seems to amaze me, people who I thought were long gone always seem to find their way back. I think that's really cool.

I loved it... I loved both Spiderman and Spiderman 2, but this really seems like it's raised the bar even more. To me, this franchise is THE pinnacle of the comic-to-screen adaptations. X-men was close until, well, Brett Ratner... If there's anyone interested, here is another trailer... It's not don...

Citizen Kane by Orson Welles. So I finally got the nerve to sit down and watch what is widely considered to be the best film of all time... I much say, I liked it, a lot, I was blown away by some of the camera tricks used by Welles, I loved how he used the props and the Xandu (I think that was what...

If anything we'll hear more talk about getting out of Iraq. I think they'll be a little harsher on the Presidents ideas, and things such as stem cell research, abortion, and gay rights won't fall on such closed ears.

The Parental Notification law was very poorly written. Sure, I think that parents have a right to know (and if they ARE good parents either A. their child wouldn't have gotten pregnant so young or B. the child would tell their parents), but a letter in the mail? Please. Why not just hand abusive par...

I'm rereading A Game of Thrones, the first book in the Song of Fire and Ice saga by the terrific fantasy author George R.R. Martin.

EDIT: I'm also reading the screenplay to Goodfellas, and Kaufman's screenplays to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation.

I just watched Sympathy for Lady Vengence and I had forgot how good of a filmmaker Park Chan Wook is. The only movie of his vengence trilogy that I have yet to see is Sympathy for Mr. Vengence.

My nomination is Sympathy for Mr. Vengence.

Yeah, that is true. Though in X-Men, at least in the movies, the focus seems to be more on discrimination or segregation than anything.

A theme that I really liked was how heroes end up being scapegoats when things go wrong. It's like the people that are in power end up being responsible even when things aren't there fault. As far as I can tell this doesn't seem the case in any other superhero movie. Spiderman and Batman are called ...

I've always been a huge advocate of Morgan Freeman for Mazer. But then again, Sean Connery would be absolutely incredible. They are pretty interchangable to me to be the frontrunner for the role. For Graff I have one person I want... I just watched Barton Fink again the other day and John Goodman ne...

I'm secretly hoping that production will be postponed until after I finish film school and make my first feature... I guess the secret is out now. Mr. Card give me the job already!!!

I've always found it easiest to have a rough outline of what it is I want to say and then just fill in the blanks while I'm giving the speech. I hate people reading off cards or memorizing what they're going to say. It has no heart. I'm very informal with my speeches and that usually gets my point a...

Yeah, that's kind of a bummer, I thought she was further along in the book. Oh well, I can't wait for the next movie.

How could this be your first time reading the LOTR??? Seriously, it's not like it's the greatest fantasy piece ever written or been read by millions.

I didn't like Songmaster... But I want to read Treason.

Xenocide is difficult to get into, but I think it's very rewarding when you finish it. I loved it. Children of the Mind is different (much in the same vein as Xenocide though) but it concludes the Ender series (or at least it always will in my mind) and the ending is amazing. I loved it too, even mo...

Nope, but it was only the second time... I keep hearing little news about HP 7 and it made me want to reread it. I caught a couple things I didn't at first.

Salaam

1.) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Greatest movie ever. Simple as that. 2.) Serenity - Funny, action packed, and above all entertaining. 3,4,5) Lord of the Rings - Greatest adaptation of un-adaptable material ever. And watching all three movies will eat away your otherwise boring day. Salaam

Nobody will EVER beat Picard.

Speaking of Star Trek, JJ Abrams (creator of Lost, Alias, and director of Mission Impossible III) is currently writing another Star Trek movie. I think that will be awesome.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today. I'm starting Children of Men by PD James.

And Titan A.E. is fine with me... I haven't seen that in years. I do like the idea of voting on a movie too. That is what the book club does, right?

THE DEPARTED SPOILERS! The Departed I haven't seen a lot of Scorsese's earlier works, in all honesty I haven't seen very many of them. Period. The only experience I have had with Scorsese is Raging Bull, Gangs of New York, and now, The Departed. I don't know how this stacks up against say Goodfellla...
