NEW 'Justice League of America' Script In The Works

thecolorsblend wrote:The funny thing is that back in the old days of the Marvel vs. DC pissing match, the argument was always that Marvel has a genuine SHARED universe while DC had zillions of alternate realities.

It seems funny that the movie adaptations struggle from the same problems.

I've already noticed a few sheep around the place STILL hoping Ruth would make a reappearance. I'd imagine Welling would've moved on, but "Ruth gotta eat". I bet his "people" are on the phone already.

I guess the powers that be from Warner Bros. just never learn to think right out of the box! Infact this is why DC Entertainment should take full control of this kind of stuff!

The Bros. Warner can say "See, we AREN'T copying Marvel Studios! We are doing something DIFFERENT!!!!"

And that is a fucking stupid reason to do this.

Once his shit-fest "Dylan Does Dogs" bombs it's way out of theaters, he is done for good.

And I for one can't wait.

Various Italian critics wrote:Reception
In Italy

Luca Raffaelli (la Repubblica), after watching the movie said "it's a good B-movie inspired to a great top-league European comic", and points out that the character of Brandon Routh "is void" while the original comic character "uses the horror to talk about modern society problems".[6]

Roberto Castrogiovanni (www.Movieplayer.it) tries not to compare the movie and the original comic, but still "not everything is perfect", and the biggest problem is "the starting plot and the development of the screenplay": the plot is predictable, dialogues are the usual stereotypes, and the main character is just the usual American action-man.[7]

Federica Aliano (www.Film.it) heavily criticized the movie, saying "it's far worse than any bad expectation" and highlighted the big difference with the original comic: "the mature feeling of Tiziano Sclavi's masterpiece is never achieved by using splatter and beautiful images, but by using psychological introspection and by projecting into reality the nightmares and fears of characters and readers".[8]

Federico Gironi (Coming Soon Television) refers to the movie without comparing it to the original comic, and notices many similarities with Underworld, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and True Blood, that make the movie "like baby food, good for an extremely young target without a deep sense of criticism", although the director "avoids to disappoint the audience and gets a couple of good gags".[9]

Negative reception also comes from Marco Lucio Papaleo (www.Everyeye.it), who gives the movie an overall score of 5 out of 10. "Technically Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is not bad, and sometimes even interesting. But it is not Dylan Dog. And even if all the names were changed, it would just be a nice movie, but actually already seen and useless".

non_amos wrote:Interestingly, while watching a rerun of Supernatural last night (Fringe was a rerun too), there was a Dylan Dog commercial, I'd say somewhere around the 40 minute mark give or take. It was pretty much clips that we've already seen online, but the 1st scene they showed was of the 'topless BJ'. Gee, wonder why they did that?

I don't know enough about the actual comic to say anything about that but the look of this is.....meh. Sam Worthington, who played 'Jimmy' & baked cakes for Clark in Singerman is also in this film, like BJ's sidekick, who becomes his zombie sidekick, but all's cool, right?

If you want a good, funny horror spoof, check out SHAUN OF THE DEAD. It's a British film & EVERYONE has British accents so it's hard at times for me to know exactly what they're trying to say due to their 'slang' but otherwise it's a good take on this type of material. It also stars Simon Pegg who went on to play 'Scotty' on JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot.

Apologist Puncher wrote:The only other film I saw Worthington in was 'Not Another Teen Movie'. So if his career goes down in flames alongside BJ's, I won't cry.

Loved it since I saw it years ago. 'Hot Fuzz' too, and I plan on seeing 'Paul' JUST for Pegg & Frost.

Those guys together are comedy gold.

Read somewhere that he and Aaron Ashmore were roommates for a while. Two Jimmy Olsens under the same roof...

Couldn't agree more.

What did he get his PhD in?

Apologist Puncher wrote:That show cried "Chloe Sullivan Rip-Off In Progress" every time I saw a commercial, down to the hairstyle and clothing. So I never watched it.

Interesting combination. Has he been practicing long?

Father Finian wrote:[Only since 1963.

Pegg appeared in an episode a few years back.
