Look, you and I know this thing is going to be awful, so why are we pretending this is something to look forward to? It's not. It will be a boondoggle. Better if we just accept it now.

Better ban all discussion of it, just to be safe.

Hey, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying, come on. It will suck. We all know it will suck. Why are we pretending it's an awesome idea? Why make believe it's something to look forward to? That movie is going to be embarrassingly bad. And I think we all know it.

"Boondoggle"? Not that I disagree. It's going to be tripe of the most unappealing variety. So will the JLA movie (if that gets made). "Boondoggle" is a new one to me, though. Wasn't he Gidget's boyfriend or something?

As soon as Will Ferrell puts on that Ant-Man helmet, we're fucked.

Too early to say for sure, but I'm hard-pressed to disagree. An Avengers or a JLA movie would likely be a mess. X-Men is as good as it gets for a SH team movie (and I wasn't crazy about those). Watchmen might convince me that its possible (not quite the same I realize).

Only Nabisco Bugle bad, probably. Now the JLA movie, that will be Amazonian-fish-that-swim-up-your-urethra bad.

I was thinking the JLA movie would be even worse than that -- like, gargling-pickle-juice,-glass-shards-and-rusty-razor-blades bad.

That sounds less bad than Amazonian-fish-that-swim-up-your-urethra bad.

I had heard they cast Megan Gale (Aussie fashion model) as Wonder Woman for that JLA one. That alone is a bad, bad sign. Just as long as they don't cast David Ogden Stiers as the Martian Manhunter. That'd really be a big mistake.

I heard they are coming out with this "Lord of The Rings" or somesuch movie... they are going to try to cram 4 hobbits, a wizard, 2 humans, a dwarf and a whole mess of elves all in the same movie - and those are just the protagonists! If they were smart they would just have separate movies featuring each of the characters. Trying to put them all on screen at once will just be a boondoggle. Better to simply not even try having them all together when we all know it is destined to fail. By aiming low, we will never run the fear of being disappointed.

Box office numbers, Oscar wins and my personal experience say otherwise.

Titanic was good. Not great, and certainly not worth the hype, but it was a good movie.

I admit I've only seen a couple scenes of Titanic. But I did hate both of them, I'm not ashamed to say.

Watch the scene with the naked Kate Winslet. That's not a boring scene.
Not for my pants, anyway.
