Well, I saw this movie today, and I thought it was good, but they pretty much wrecked the Deadpool character. I mean, it seemed like he was only in the movie for like 5 minutes near the beginning, and I thought it was dumb that

Yeah, I've pretty much heard from a lot of critics that characters like Deadpool, Gambit, and Blob are included for no real reason other than just to finally make a film appearance. I did like the one T.V. ad I saw though, where Deadpool sliced the bullet in half with his sword. That was pretty cool.

But yet he did accept LXG. Go figure. I really couldn't have imagined Will Smith playing Neo at all. That would have been weird. That's probably one of the few roles that Keanu Reeves was actually well casted for, considering that he basically plays a confused computer hacker who has no clue what's going on, which he's good at.

Anaconda is one of the best guilty pleasures though, so I can understand why Ebert loved that. If you want to talk about a movie Ebert liked for a reason I can't figure out, how about Spawn? I think he gave that three and a half as well. And wow, what Smues said about Knowing makes this movie look even worse and unintentionally funny more so than that Wicker Man remake. I was pretty much laughing out loud during those spoilers.

I've been making fun of that movie Knowing ever since I saw the first ad! I was like "well, here's Nic Cage in movie about the end of the world, so what's it called?" Then the words Knowing go across the screen, and I'm thinking "Knowing? That's the best title they can come up with?" I think it's kinda sad that Alex Proyas directed that movie, I thought he actually did good stuff. To show you Roger Ebert's state of mind, he gave Knowing 4 stars.

Its really funny how a few years later, how different this feud is now. In 2006, we had Steiner make fun of Joe, but Joe just stays cool and says he will beat Steiner clean in the middle of the ring. Now, in 2009? We have Steiner still making fun of Joe, but now Joe wants to kill him with a weird looking knife, and his actions are being called the "Nation of Violence" for some reason. Very weird. I think TNA at this point isn't worth spending money on. The MEM and Frontline feud is so one-sided, that its hard to want to see any of these PPVs since that feud started. I don't think I've watched any of their PPVs since Bound For Glory.

What doesn't help Watchmen was that the movie didn't get good word of mouth, not even from fans, and the near 3 hour long running time didn't help its box office either. I got a feeling that movie might become a cult hit on DVD though with its director's cut, which will probably make the movie vastly better.

The funny thing about West burying the main event of the night, was that the audience at home is supposed to disagree with West, and we're supposed to look forward to the main event, but considering that the mystery partner ended up being one of Angle's security guards, West had a good point to make fun of it.

SuperJerk may have went off the line a little bit, but I kinda get what he's saying. People are too obsessed with comparing the movie to the book, and while its great to be faithful to source material, there can still be a good movie otherwise with changes made. A book is a book, and a movie is a movie, and they both should be judged on the quality of their own format. In my opinion, Watchmen made one hell of a good book, and one hell of a good movie.

Manu. I find it ironic how over the years people had always been glad Joe is in TNA and not in WWE because they feared that the moment he entered WWE he would become something along the lines of Umaga, or other type of typical wrestling Samoan, and now in TNA it's happening before our eyes. Only it's so much worse than what I would have imagined for him in WWE. I would much rather Joe do this silly shit with his knife rather than playing a bland Umaga type character in WWE. I don't trash TNA for doing these crazy angles like this because I find it much more enjoyable and funny than Raw's really boring and ultra serious tone.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the hell out of Street Kings, very underrated movie.

I bet Rorschach's mask will be explained in the director's cut. I got the feeling there was probably many people in the audience wondering "why does this guy's mask have ink that moves?", and some people were probably puzzled by Bubastis in the film as well. Since they never explained Veidt's genetics technology in the movie, I bet some people were thinking "there's a blue tiger with horns for no reason."

I also liked Don West's little throwaway line "this is lame". Also, did anyone else think it was really weird how the announcers kept calling Samoa Joe's actions the "nation of violence"? What the hell does that even mean? It kinda reminded me of the "one warrior nation"!

way to back up those opinions. good work. Well, I guess I could go into more detail saying why I didn't miss some things. So, lets think about about scenes from the book that weren't in the movie. This seems to include: SPOILERS AHEAD -Dr. Long's subplot with his wife and maybe some extended dialogue between him and Rorschach -The people on the street corner like the newspaper guy, the kid, the lesbians, etc. -Hollis Mason's death and many of his other scenes -The subplot with the detectives -Some of Laurie's scenes and backstory, like the incident with the Comedian at the party -Little bit of Rorschach's backstory about how he got his special ink blot mask and his first days fighting crime with Nite Owl And there may be more things I'm forgetting. Out of that list, about the only things I missed not being in the movie were Hollis Mason's scenes. It would have been nice if these scenes from that list were included in the movie, but really, I didn't miss them all that much, and I thought the movie was more fast paced because of them being eliminated. I don't know, maybe thats just me?

Wow, I must be the only person who read the comic, and really enjoyed the movie. I think people are trying WAY too hard to compare the graphic novel to the movie, and try to remember what was missing and such. I went in seeing the movie today not trying to think about the comic, and I thought the movie rocked. If anything, I think some things in the book being cut out in the movie actually may have helped in some ways. Most of the stuff that was cut out from the book I didn't really miss. About the only thing I did miss from the book not being in the movie was the As for the casting, I thought everyone did a fine job, and Matthew Goode wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Basically, this movie will end up being one of those "love it" or "hate it" type of films.

Yeah, it seemed like besides that silly long segment of Booker/Styles/Steiner/Joe/Tenay/West, the rest of that show was completely forgettable. Hell, I can't think of anything else that happened on the show besides Angle getting thrown out of the building at the end, and him attacking everyone throughout the show. I will say, I fucking love watching this silly shit each week though. I mean, where else are you going to see a wrestling show where a guy is threatened with a weird knife every week!? And if you thought last week's episode of impact was the worst wrestling show ever, I advise you to watch that one episode of impact I talked about a few weeks ago on here, where Angle went around bars meeting those strange women. No wrestling show will ever be as bad as that stuff.

Not to mention that Watchmen is in an alternate reality. In the book, many important world events are changed by the existence of superheroes, so why wouldn't the audience I think that was one of the more incredible things about Watchmen.

Well, I didn't expect a sequel to happen at all either, but I'm surprised the studio did. But then again, they apparently expected this to make about $60 million, so obviously they didn't know better.

Funny thing is, I actually saw that today. I thought it was pretty good for what it was.

So wait, they actually

Did Fox put out both this new Street Fighter movie AND that upcoming Dragonball movie as well? God, what horrible releases for a studio!

$60 million!!! How in the blue hell did this movie get greenlit? Thats a very good question. I too have also found it really embarrassing that Hollywood can't figure out that Ken and Ryu are the main characters in the street fighter universe. I mean the guys are the center of the commercials and poster art for the games, but yet Hollywood can't figure it out, or maybe they don't care, I don't know. Also, what is Michael Clarke Duncan doing in this movie? Is he really that hard up for money?

I find it odd in kayfabe its Steiner he's going after. Nash is the one who betrayed him, his issues with Angle are well known, Sting took his title, hell even Booker he feuded with a while about six months ago and has a championship to take. Yet its Scott he's going crazy over. Yeah, I was really confused about why Joe hates Steiner so much. Nash was Joe's last real feud back in November or so, but yet, since his comeback, he's only went after Steiner. It makes no sense. Come to think of it, Joe has to be the most buried guy ever to have won a world title. The dude was TNA's top babyface last year and was the champion, to months later being a guy who's treated like an afterthought on the show, and only shows up for like 1 minute, and is never mentioned on the show again, and doesn't wrestle either. I can't ever think of a world champion who has fallen so far besides him.

With a lot of these X-Division guys being gone, this makes me wonder if TNA is going through with that idea I heard about one time, where they thought about actually getting rid of the X-Division. Pretty much all the X-Division guys have moved on to bigger things like Styles, or they have become jobbers, so it wouldn't surprise me to see TNA do this, especially since they become more like WWE every year.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. That feud with Jay Lethal killed his career, and it has nearly killed Lethal's as well, although he at least still makes TV consistantly.
