The only superhero movies I like are the “X-men” series, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, “Man Of Steel”, “V For Vendetta” and the two Guillermo Del Toro “Hellboy” movies.
I didn’t see Man of Steel, but the others were entertaining.
Evil Dead 2 by Raimi is fantastic. Bruce Campbell is awesome.
Sislel and Ebert said it several years back.
The early movie makers were raised on great literature and made movies of great literature.
Today’s movie makers were raised on comic books.

True. There's also the added element of a lack of creativity. Everything these days is derivative of what came before. When they are completely out of ideas they resort to remaking the exact same movies with their modern, woke sensibilities.
Because they are Nazi, Commie and LGBTQDisney propaganda.
Exactly correct.
Ben Edlund has never met a deadline he couldn’t ignore completely as it sailed by. Eventually anybody trying to do The Tick runs out of patience. Really they put up with him for 2 season, it’s kind of a miracle.
I forgot on “The Tic” they did have a confused computer that was a boat. But that computerized boat clearly had mental issues.
Do adults not read books anymore?
Who has time to read? With all the woke re-makes and re-boots on the streaming services.
Because schedules exist. How do you make sure all your actors and directors and sets are available when you have no idea when the scripts will be done? Not to mention how do you advertise something you have no idea when it will be done?
I’ve been a Tick fan since the comic book days. We just kind of got used to “maybe a month, maybe 2, maybe 3, maybe...” The publisher only put up with it because it was their most popular title.
Then came the Fox animated series, and Fox got to deal with it. Then they were silly enough to sign on for a live action show. And they canceled that after 1 season. Then Amazon jumped in and it took them 4 years to get 22 episodes. Now part of that was Amazon’s fault because they were playing around with making premier episodes of stuff and not greenlighting full seasons until months later. But even then it took more than a year between each group.
Edlund’s brilliant. And a nice guy from everything I’ve seen. But he isn’t professional, and making a multi-million dollar project dependent on him is generally a mistake. Though the results are brilliant when he finally finishes.
In the movie, Barbie pulled down Ken’s pants and found out he was not a conservative as he was er... not anatomically correct.
It’s his writing process. He’s just not a “sit down and write” guy. It’s all inspiration based, when the idea hits he goes for it, if he doesn’t have an idea he doesn’t write anything. If a deadline zooms by while he’s lacking an idea, too bad for the deadline.
Thats interesting. What computerized reader or translator software do you use for scientific papers?
copy and past it into google translate and hit the listen button. I’m sure there is a better way. Though it works.
