The TV version with Richard Chamberlain is better.

That'd be awesome, but it really would be watched in another lifetime since it'll probably take me my whole life to try to get through all these dramas I already have. :sweat: :beaten:

I know girl! But one day you'll come to the realization that you'll probably never get to all those dramas anyway! So pick and choose your battles, friend ;) Sore wa jinsei desu.

I'll get you a copy in any event.

Well, I think it is.

Chamberlain was quite good in The Man in the Iron Mask as well.

I couldn't find the TV version that you were talking about, unfortunately. :( Or maybe I didn't search hard enough. Ditto for The Man in the Iron Mask. Is there a specific place where you found those movies?

I saw those movies on TV when they were broadcast... Not sure if they made it to DVD... Maybe VHS.

So I finally got to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I was drooling throughout the entire thing. I can't believe Ford did his own stunts. Some of those were deadly. :sweat:

O really? That's a relief. But I had read somewhere that he had. Didn't he break his ribs filming the second one or something?

I dunno.

I was a little dissapointed with it actually. It seemed to light hearted compared too the original ones. Plus the ending with the

Yea, I felt that as well. But as my date pointed out, it was around that time (post war) when a lot UFO sightings were happening, and rumours started flying around the the gov. had a secret project in the works regarding aliens, or something like that.

I still prefer Indie 1 and 3 tho. :good:

I personally think Shia Labeouf ruined the movie. Why have a kid Indiana Jones?

Plus, the originals from the 80s are almost always better ... like for Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones etc ...

Like The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc., I've never seen any of those shows.

Eh, it's hard to compare earlier cartoons with a live-action film though.

Never watched The Simpsons? You've missed out .... at least the episodes in the 90s.

Confirmed: Warner Bros. Will Reboot Superman Film Franchise

Warner Bros. has confirmed long-running rumors that it will reboot the Superman movie franchise.

Jeff Robinov, Warner Bros. Pictures Group President, tells The Wall Street Journal that the Man of Steel will be reintroduced on the big screen without regard to 2006fs Superman Returns.

gSuperman didnft quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,h Robinov says. gIt didnft position the character the way he needed to be positioned. ... Had Superman worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009.h

Therefs no mention whether Superman Returns director Bryan Singer will be part of the reboot. Earlier this week, Varietyfs Anne Thompson reported gthat it is a priority at the studio to find the right direction and if Bryan Singer is willing to do that, fine, but if he gets in the way, he may not stay on the project.h

Taking a page from Marvel, Warner Bros. has reversed its earlier position of using the now-stalled Justice League of America as a launching pad for other DC properties. Instead, it will focus on solo features to build toward a multicharacter film.

gAlong those lines, we have been developing every DC character that we own,h Robinov says.

That may sound less like a gstrategyh and more like a mad cash-grab. Something else that might not sit right with some fans is Robinovfs determination to explore the darker side of super-heroes: gWefre going to try to go dark to the extent that the characters allow it.h

According to The Journal, Warner Bros. plans to release four comic-book movies in the next three years: the third Batman installment, the Superman reboot, and two focusing on other DC Comics characters. (Itfs unclear whether Watchmen is included in that count.) Likely candidates include Green Arrow/Super Max, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and, perhaps, Jonah Hex.

As Variety reported over the weekend, Warner Bros. is expected to roll out its strategy for its DC Comics movie properties sometime within the next month.

just saw Love Guru. it started funny but it got dull, though i still managed to finish it.

Pathology on the other hand, i didn't finish. weird stuff, no suspense at all
