I'm looking forward to Wrath of the Titans so I can cut off contact with anyone who mentions having gone to see it. Sam Worthington has less charisma than many rocks, and the Clash of the Titans remake was unwatchable.

Page 420 on 4-20, whoah.

Yeah Clash of the Titans was stunningly bad. Could hardly sit through a whole scene. Surprised at a sequel.

Bummed that John Carter was such a huge huge flop, but I thought it was dumb to spend aquarter billion on a relatively unknown (other than sci fi readers) brand. The ads were so uninteresting - there was a fan made one that was far superior that actually explained a bit of the plot. Disneys going to lose 200 million on one film.

I can't even use the reference as an excuse. Guinness is the only intoxicant in my system right now. Its not april yet? Lame.

The Towering Inferno. A lot like the Poseidon Adventure except instead of a boat, it was a building.

This makes me happy.

It's drawn off of so heavily as an influence, I bet it would feel very familiar to most movie viewers, but I guess they can't market it as 'Jame's Cameron's father.' I'll definitely see it, but wait for Redbox.

I'm sitting on a couple movie passes right now that I need to use and was going to use on John Carter. Maybe it'll be The Hunger Games. I listened to the books and it's getting good reviews.

Oh yeah baby! (even if the Twilight dude is in it)

Both great movies. I loved Poseidon Adventure when that fat lady was swimming under water, cheeks all bulged out trying to hold her breath.

Remember that hilarious Onion article about Michael Bay expletiving up a Thundercats movie?

Life imitates the Onion again:

"These turtles are from an alien race," Bay declared at the Nickelodeon upfront presentation in New York. "And they're going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable."

It just seems like there are enough modifying characteristics (you know, 'teenage,' 'mutant,' 'ninja,' and 'turtle') about the heroes to not need to add more.
