Dear god the advertising campaign for The Dark Knight has been genius. I can't flippin' wait to see it.

Got a bad feeling about that Speed Racer movie.
Isn't Iron Man coming out in May? Checking IMdB, yes...Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury? Cool.

One out of three ain't bad. In baseball, that gets you to the Hall of Fame.

No.

No.

Video.

Cartoon. Sitcom. Comic book. Looks like another ve-ery long summer...

But Sidney Lumet DEMANDS to be seen on the big screen!

(to be fair, I won't be seeing Get Smart unless it's raved)

Have you seen the teaser for Get Smart. It's gotten a very positive responce from most people. Very funny and revelling in what made Get Smart so good in the first place (I just hope they don't make Steve and Anne lovers).

I'm actually very much anticipating all of these, so that's good.

I have a feeling that Speed Racer will be loved by fans and abandoned by mainstream audiences. Everything's going dark these day, why spend this much money on something so colourful?

60's cult cartoon.

60's cult sitcom.

60's cult superhero.

Lumet works fine on video. But U23D must be seen on a big screen.

I will definitely go see Get Smart for Anne Hathaway. Hopefully, Meryl Streep will make a cameo to yell at her in some way.

The Dark Knight looks phenomanal. I think Ledger might very well ace Nicholson...provided his performance isn't too one note. Still, I can't wait.

I also think Get Smart looks like fun.

The wild card seems to be Speed Racer. I must say, I was never a fan of the show nor am I anything but a casual watcher of The Washowski Siblings ouevre. It seems hard to place who the film is aimed at. The tone looks kiddie, but clearly they are hoping the W brand of The Matrix will bring in the teens and young adults. As for me, I think I'll sit that one out. I can't see it doing more than 150 if it is a hit and worst case scenario, might only be a 60-70 million curio.

Okay, is that U 23 D or U2 3-D?

I'm sorry Mutinyco,

But I have to put on my geek gloves and bitchsmack you something fierce.

Batman, is a character that has been around since '39.

The 60's camp era of the Batman TV show is only one incarnation of the character and the one that is least representative of the character's real emotional story or narrative drive. For a superhero myth, Batman is a very interesting and layered character that explores many themes.

I'm sure you're also in the camp that loves to propagate the homosexual metaphor because of the Robin character.

Now, in the spirit of IO's playground crassness, I must say towards your snobby, high-culture obtuse judgement:

Eat a dick

[just playing!]

No.

Maybe.

Absolutely.

THX, I think you swung too wildly, completely missed me, and wound up slapping your own ass on the followthrough.

mutiny: at least we agree on U2 3-D.

That thing is going to redefine the concert film.

The Speed Racer definitely put me off seeing the movie. And its trailer was painful.

On the other hand, go go The Joker.

Naw buddy. You're still reeling. Here's some Ice for that Jaw...

"Everything's going dark these day, why spend this much money on something so colourful?"

because everything's going dark these days. People don't want every summer movie to be all deep feelings and emotions. I'm almost tempted to think The Dark Knight is going too serious (which would be ironic).

Tip your hat to doug r. He and I see a potential smash hit ruined by unnecessary name-checking.

Doug R sees no such thing. He doesn't explain why he has reservations about the movie. You, meanwhile, are annoyingly predictable, Chucky.

Why do you have this thing against name-checking? You are the only person on Earth with this issue.
