Girls With Comics

Rumor has it across the internet that Nolan will have a heavy hand in the next Superman movie. This excites me a great deal. Nolan more or less brought the Batman franchise back from the dead and made it *amazing*. I know I’m a total fangirl for Batman, but even Nolan’s other movies are just as good. He is a great director. The last Superman movie was pretty dull and lifeless, although I thought the cast was great. Superman himself can be either a brilliant character, or totally boring and too boy scout-ish. I do not think Nolan will take the boy scout route, and maybe he’ll take a page from Smallville and make Superman not to super, and more human.

Some people may think he will make Superman dark and gritty. I personally do not think so. He is a man with range, people! He also has Goyer, the main screenwriter for the first two (and next) Batman films, working with him. I believe this will be a true dynamic duo and I have all of the faith in the world they can make a great Superman movie, and I believe they can do it right. For so long I felt that Marvel movies have been dominating the comic book movie world. Hopefully with this Superman (and upcoming Green Lantern movie) DC will do just as well, maybe even better.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I’m late to the party. Ever since I finally got my Xbox live working, along with my Netflix, I’ve been hooked on Torchwood. I’m done season one, and I’m very impressed. While the acting is a bit over the top (oh well), the series is just great. I’ve never seen a single episode of Dr. Who (yet I am familiar with the series), but my lack of Who viewing does not impact my Torchwood viewing. That is what makes a great show amazing. While I know there will be some over lapping, it is not much and it’s pretty self explanatory. I find myself engrossed in Gwen and Captain Jack, and I find them both very endearing. Gwen’s humanity is nicely contrasted against Jack’s fading humanity.

Also, God bless you Xbox. I rarely play video games, but I love having Netflix instantly pop up on my T.V.

I have to say, I’m excited for the upcoming GL movie. The cast for the most part seems promising; Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, and Mark Strong as Sinestro (he was in Sherlock Holmes. He looks like Sinestro!) is brilliant. Even more so, the director is a solid guy. Martin Campbell did one of the best Bond movies to date, Casino Royal. That movie made me not ashamed to admit my love of 007, because it was fan-fucking-tastic. Plus, Daniel Craig is sex. I’m also really excited for the next Bond movie.

While I still have my doubts about doing a movie about a second tier (or, not as important IMO) superhero, I still have a lot of hope for it. Iron Man, another second tier character (IMO) was amazing and did exceedingly well in the box office. At least until TDK came out and jizzed on everyone’s movie.

This movie can not come out fast enough. May 7 is too far away. I’ll happily give up my birthday (March 14) in order for this movie to come out faster.

I’m mostly excited to see War Machine, because that shit looks bad ass. ScarJo never excites me, but maybe she’ll be awesome in this.

And now, some unrelated Siler Surfer thing:

I love The Dark Knight. I think it’s one of the best comic book movies ever made, IMO. However, Batman’s voice is stupid and was really funny when it clearly wasn’t meant to be funny. Thankfully, I’m not the only one who thought so. All of these videos were made by very talented guys and gals, who know how to be funny:
