I think the only thing that Raimi's Spiderman films can really be criticised on is the Venom and Harry parts of Spiderman 3, the Harry part of Spiderman 2, and the occasionally bizarre acting of Toby Maguire.
The rest of it holds up pretty well. Certainly better than the Xmen 2 and 3 and Wolverine thats for sure... XD
I'm sorry, what was that last one? I could have sworn you said they'd already made a Wolverine movie, but that's just silly. There's only one Wolverine solo movie and it's not out yet.

Looks like someone is in a state of desperate denial! XD
(Though watching Origins, I can't blame you for that. I mean, how can you get Deadpool wrong!?! DEADPOOL!!)

Wow you think a lot of movies don't exist first this then Batman Forever & Batman & Robin then Star wars episodes 1,2,3.
As much as I want to say it doesn't exist, I have to acknowledge that Wolverine does. The first half of the movie was pretty true to comics like very few adaptations are... and then it completely fell apart. I mean completely. It exists, it just was done very poorly... like the other X-Men movies. That's right, I didn't really like them...even though you can see I own them...two of them twice.
I took my little sister to see The Lorax a few months ago. Just some environmentalist bullshit. Trees aren’t going anywhere, people!
Exactly. Conservation of matter and all that. I mean, you can't destroy it. Just ends up being something else. Like the carbon dioxide and oxygen that you get when you burn wood, for instance in a slash and burn rainforest clearing. Tree isn't gone. We just can't see it anymore.
Well, there's some carbon that didn't get oxidized, I suppose.
The most brutally realistic movie ever made concerning the life and death of Jesus Christ. The pasty white guy who played Satan scared the hell out of me, and the scenes of the Scorching of the Pillar and the crucifixion were some of the saddest scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie.
The person who portayed Satan in Passion of the Christ was actually a woman. I expect they wanted to have a character who looked somewhat androgynous.
Also, I remember how ironic it was that my church and various Christian organizations at my college encouraged people to go see The Passion in the theatre, saying that people could then talk about it afterward... when, after actually watching the movie, everyone was too moved to say anything at all.
I saw women coming out of the theatre crying. It’s a very moving movie, and people have to stop giving Gibson so much shit for making it.
Jews hated this movie for some reason. This movie was basically made for Catholics/Christians. They pretty much hated it for the portrayal of Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest who convinced Pilate to have Jesus executed. Gibson himself said that the movie was not meant to offend Jewish people, but to tell the truth. I’m not racist, but that is exactly what this movie shows: the truth.
I really want to chime in and correct you in that last sentence, but given that I'm an atheist, I'd probably just end up insulting you by accident, which isn't what I want to do.
What I will say is that Passion's a very faithful adaptation of the Bible. Whether it's actually true or not...
It’s all about belief. I believe in God, so I see this movie as the truth. Those who don’t, I don’t chastise.
But that’s just me.
And with that, we're friends again.
Sorry, I know it's a stupid little point, but it always bugs me when people say that things like Passion is based on fact. It's actually based on what people believe to be fact, which is ever so slightly different. I'm not gonna turn round and say you're wrong, and I really don't wanna open up a whole can of worms, but just that little bit - "I SEE this movie as truth" - makes so much difference to me and I thank you for saying it.
They pretty much chose the only way to get Deadpool wrong. Shutting him up.
Which is a shame because the actor is a huge Deadpool fan and would have been able to pull it off really well.
Which is why I say he did Wade Wilson right. And why he says that when he gets the solo Deadpool movie off the ground, it'll be ignoring Origins completely.

Yeah, the brief bit with Wade Wilson at the beginning was pretty fantastic. Maybe coulda done with a bit more talking, but all things considered, it was pretty good.
Then they had to go and sew his mouth shut. I don't really understand why that would have worked. People have torn out Deadpool's larynx in the past and he's still tried to keep talking. I doubt a few stitches would keep him quiet for more than a minute, tops.
I watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. I'll admit I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was quite funny the way only low-budget web-films can be and did a pretty good job of parodying DnD (which isn't really too difficult, but still).

Yes there was a Johnny Bravo film... That came out in 2009...
It's..not very good.
The animation, the style, the humour it's all quite off.
To give it some credit though it did have a few laughs and some nice references.
I'd give it a 5.5/10. Not unwatchable, just not very good...

Too old. Caviezel was the right age. If Gibson plays his own character in that Maccabees movie he’s doing, that would be alright.

I liked the movie for the most part, but Deadpool wasn't done right. Wade Wilson was, Deadpool wasn't.
And Xavier's cameo has been rendered stupid thanks to First Class.
I’m hyped up and ready to kill some Commies!

Last movie I watched would be a short film, The Colors of Evil. Four minutes of cutesy awesomeness.

Don’t ask why.
How come?
That’s why. Whoever asked why would have walked right into that one.
Be fair Wolverine has a much funnier cameo in First Class
Definitely. Wasn't downing on First Class at all, loved that movie and was not expecting to see Wolverine at all.
Now, I’M on a mission from God.
Will have to take a seat on my favorite films list. Why?
Peter O' Toole....vs. Eli Wallach. Case closed.
Hot damn, I could play all day with that kid!
