    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I know for sure the last time I picked up a fantastic four comic book it didn't have all four characters in the storyline, maybe it was that a couple of them stepped down temporarily or somethin but I know it wasn't the same as what's in the movies.

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I have to say again this time to Delvo, that's what you're gonna find in Marvel comics. It really agrivates me too, they really are all over the place and they don't ever stick to one thing. They don't seem to have a problem with changing characters or even changing the whole story itself. Take...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    Actually Connaver, I have the exact opposite opinion. First of all, I got into reading comic books because I became such a fan of the comic book movies that were comin out like Spiderman one and two. My point being I've only read about the storylines in regards to venom and the symbiote in the...

    A Scanner Darkly (2006)

    It's a really good movie, I have to admit that it wasn't what I was expecting though. I rented it because the trailer looked trippy, I didn't know anything about the plot regarding drugs and everything, which is fine I just wasn't expectin it.

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    lol, actually I did like Daredevil, and Elektra. But hey, that's my personal taste for what it's worth. I will say that Hulk was pure crap though, I hated that movie. As far as Superman Returns goes, I think it's kinda a mute point when you talk about Brandon Routh as Superman, assuming that's...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I think we're gonna have to agree to dissagree on that one. As a comic book fan I have to say that I love the translation from comics to movies, it's the one thing that keeps me goin back to the movies. I loved the spiderman trilogy, the x-men trilogy, the new Batman movie, and the new superman...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I'd like to say also that I acknowledge that this isn't the first time that Hollywood has been in a slump. But I can't remember a time when we've had so many recycled stories, remakes, and neverending sagas in Hollywood history. I am by no means an expert on Hollywood and everything that has...

    Sunshine (2007)

    Re: Sunshine Okay I finally watched sunshine online last night and I loved it. I really don't know what the people who told me they were dissapointed with it were talkin about, I thougt it was great. It was a very dark movie but as far as sci fi goes it was fantastic. Alot of surprises and alot...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I have to say also that I think it's a weak argument saying that the people who go to those big blown out movies that have no real quality ruin it for everyone else. Hollywood is huge and I seriously doubt that my decision to not go see Transformers, which I refuse to watch, is gonna make any...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I agree with you when it comes to saw but I have to say that I was very impressed with the last Rocky movie, I thought it was a satisfying conclusion to the Rocky saga. And I also disagree on it always bein like this, I cant remember ever havin to hunto so hard for good movies to rent in the...

    Back To The Future - Does it ever go out of style?

    Yeah, they really are great movies. I always wondered what happened to the guy who played biff, I don't think I saw him in another movie other than the back to the future movies.

    A History of Violence (2005)

    I agree, there weren't that many intense moments, but there were enough for it to make sense that it is indeed a Cronenberg film. It wasn't such a break from his style of filmmaking that it didn't resemble his work at all. I actually didn't find it to be that dry. I admit that it wasn't really...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I agree mcmurphy, a film being independent doesn't always make it good. As I recently stated in another thread, one flaw that I see with many independent films is that although they do spend more time on character development, plot and storyline, sometimes they forget to create an interesting...

    I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003)

    Hello all, I was just wantin a recomendation for the movie I'll Sleep When I'm Dead starring Clive Owen. I was thinkin of watchin it online on the Netflix website but I haven't heard anything about it. The only contention I have with independent movies is that sometimes they move at a very slow...

    A History of Violence (2005)

    Okay I finally watched A History of Violence last night and I really liked it, great movie. I wanted to see it because as my interest in Sci Fi has increased over the years I've become a big fam of Cronenberg. I really wanted to see it becauase I didn't really understand the direction he was...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    lol, I just hope that as the foreign movie market and independent movie market gains more attentiont hey don't follow Hollywood's mistakes of unoriginality. I don't know what there would be left to turn to at that point. I guess I'll have to find some other form of entertainment at that point. lol.

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I just mean that I started this thread because Hollywood used to be the main avenue for choosin quality movies but that is becoming a thing of the past in my opinion. That's not to say anything against books or foreign movies or Independent movies or anything else. I watch more of those now than...

    Unoriginal Hollywood

    I know Hollywood isn't the only culprit, but they are the most popular in my opinion which is the reason for the thread. That and the fact that Hollywood used to be alot more genuine than it is now.

    Tom Cruise

    I didn't have time to read all of your posts so I'm sorry if I'm repeating anything anyone else has already said. I just wanted to say that Tom Cruise is crazy. He is a good actor though. I think it was a very wise move for him to play the role of a politician in his next movie Lions for Lambs...
