I'm so glad everyone seems to agree that that trailer was terrible. Didn't want to see it before, because Superman is really pretty stupid and Nolanland Batman did just fine. Now I got to see it for free 4 months early. I still want a refund.

I'm kind of hoping that it will be a huge fiasco, possibly a big enough disaster to put something of a brake on the never-ending parade of comic book movies. That would be cool.

Depends on your taste, I guess. I was a huge Marvel comics addict as a kid. It's been fascinating the past few years in following the superhero movies - specifically the Marvel ones. Back in the early-90s, Marvel was facing bankrupty so they sold cinematic rights to a ton of their products. It made sense, as Marvel was not in the movie production business.

And to answer your statement, no, comic book movies aren't going away any time for the next several years. Marvel alone is producing like at least 10 more movies/shows up through 2020ish.

i was a marvel kid, but oddly enough have 0 interest in their movie universe.

I'm fully invested in the DC movie universe. Nolan's batman really sparked my interest and i for one am a fan of the gritty, dark setting.

Suicide Squad is the one im really looking forward to.

The silly part though is that DC is keeping the television cinematic universe completely separate from the movie cinematic universe. Different actors for the same roles. At least Marvel is doing that part right.

Yes, this mirrors me pretty well. Superman is a fundamentally uninteresting character and I have no interest in seeing him in a movie. The closest Marvel corollary is probably Thor, and even he's still better because he's not as powerful as Superman, he spent most of the first movie without powers, and those movies rightfully focus on other more interesting characters for large chunks.

I thoroughly enjoyed Krampus. It's from Michael Dougherty, the same guy who made Trick 'r Treat, and it's at least similar in that it has the same reverence for the holiday at hand.

Not sure if documentaries count in here but we saw Meru last night and holy [expletive] that was intense. Mountain climbing documentary. Mountain climbers intrigue me because they do all of the things I hate. I have a fear of heights, hate the cold, and I can't handle altitude. When I watch these guys I keep asking "Why?" but at the same time I admire them.

Meru.

Watched most of "Boogie Nights" for first time the other night. Was getting late, so I turned it off when things started getting dark. the awesome Rollergirl ...stomping a dude with her skates -oh noes.

But Man that was good flick. Casting was great, - especially getting Burt Reynolds - genius.

I guess I should watch the rest - though I sense it will continue to dismantle the good-time fun imagery of the industry (save for an occasional OD) that it developed in the bulk of the movie.

I hoped you made it to the Alfred Molina/Sister Christian/Asian man throwing firecrackers scene. AKA the greatest scene in movies.

hmmm, I don't think so. I shut it off with Don Cheadle's character - bloody holdup. I don't like seeing that right before going to sleep.

Yeah you gotta finish it.
