Superheroes all the way to 2020

Ten years ago, my father was in Munich. Often, after the theater, he told me that he'd go with friends to a Bierstube. There was a nutty man they thought a fool. He spoke about politics. He was quite an attraction. They'd buy him beer and encourage him. He'd stand up on the table making furious speeches. It was Hitler.
 
Somehow, Bergman has passed me by for all these years. This thread has me making a list of classic movies I need to go back and watch or re-watch :thumbs:

All this superhero shit is just that, disposable crap.
 
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly.
 
See, this is what I'm talkin' about. Turn around. Look at that. Do you see what I mean? It's, it's plump, it's juicy, it's three inches thick. Now, look at this sorry, miserable, squashed thing. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture? Anybody? Anybody at all.
 
When I have the Map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding...

... of digital watches. And soon I shall have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!... Slugs! He created slugs. They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic?... If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one!
 
Vivian: "You've forgotten one thing. Me."
Marlowe: "What's wrong with you?"
Vivian: "Nothing you can't fix."
 
...But you won't find him there... he's up on the roof with his boids. He keeps boids. Dirty... disgusting... filthy... lice-ridden boids. You used to be able to sit out on the stoop like a person. Not anymore! No, sir! Boids!... You get my drift?
 
Voice Coach: No, no, no Miss Lamont, Round tones, round tones! Now, let me hear you read your line.

Lina: and I cayn't stannim
 
I'm sure everyone is made up by the prospect of a Green Lantern film. If they scrape that barrel any harder we'll end up with a squirrel girl film

TBF, the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern film was so awful, it actually came out of the other side of badness and was good. ;)
 
Don't say things like that on the internet they are still trying to think of a female lead spiderman spinoff...

Black Cat, possibly, as he was banging hanging around with her around the time of Crisis/the Venom costume in the comics. She'd be cool. She was nicely morally-grey.[/S]
 
It's a pretty hopeful out look i still think the interest in superhero movies might tank again.

More so if the batman vs superman does not take off

Coming of the back of nolan it'd got a lot of expectations to live up to

Will this be the post-Bale Batman played by Levitt?

Bollocks, the Swiss were the best mercenaries in pre-modern Europe, kicking the ever loving shit out of all sides in the Italian Wars.
 
And I used to adore my old man because he was always so kind. That's one of the most beautiful things I have in my life - the way my father and mother were. And my father was a real ugly man. So it doesn't matter if you look like a gorilla. You see, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are.
 
They should have just used the cast from the last films, but have everyone do really obvious double-takes every time Captain America and Johnny Storm were in a room together.

:D

I was fine with all of the cast except for Welsh-chops, who was WAYYYYY too young to be playing Reed Richards. Even the dusky version of Sue Storm was okay.
 
Please tell me you're pulling my pisser, and that Ben "more wooden than a giant Sequoia, less emotive than a rock" Affleck isn't going to screw the pooch as badly as he did with Daredevil. :facepalm:

Ben Affleck is Batman. There was hysteria on the internet when it was announced about a year ago.

Jesus fucking Christ. It's such crap news I must have blocked it from my mind! It's akin to getting Larry Grayson to play Rowdy Roddy Piper's role in "They Live"!!!
