    yeah, but if the 3D is as staggering as Avatar promises, this could blow our minds clear out the back of our skulls. especially in IMAX

    Phew!

    It doesn't have to be full disco gloss like the 70's (although I got no real objections to that), but it needs to be optimistic and not set in a decaying dark city.

    that seems to be exactly opposite from the rumors of the past 20 years. dan akroyd was spearheading the project since 2 wrapped. in fact, the entire franchise was always his baby. and Bill has been the hold out. especially in recent years... hrm... i take this with a grain of salt...ghost salt!

    ...seriously, it seems Sigourney has her streams crossed on this one...

    (see what i did there?)

    Well, for whatever it's worth, Ebert gave Avatar four stars.

    It is like watching a live-action version of Sealab 2020.

    Oh, but seeing as how the remake is being directed by a Visual Effects Supervisor and may have Ali Larter in it, Jackson is sure to come off as a semiprecious gem set in an old, rotten sandwich. let's hope it pays off his house or something.

    In the future, we'll look at Avatar the way we look at Harryhausen now - A glimpse of better things coming. Way before its time, even cheesy, but not really directly comparable to CGI that actually is indistinguishable from live action, which is coming sooner than we expect.

    Bullshit. It was the chemistry of the four actors TOGETHER that made the film work. Bill Murray by himself for two hours? Funny, but who the hell is he going to interact with and make fun of? I could see a GB movie withOUT Bill Murray, but not one with him carrying it alone.

    Also, expand Ernie Hudson's role, dammit; the man's a fine comedic actor and he deserves a larger role.

    It's being marketed in tv ads as a mindless sci fi action film.
    It's like they are embarrassed about the clearly Dances with Wolves plot.

    I actually liked The Spirit. It was full of wretched excess but it reveled in it. It was exactly the kind of movie I expected from Frank Miller's first solo outing as a director. I hope he gets another chance to direct a movie. However, Buck Rogers was not that project. I would love a movie version in the style of Warren Beatty's Dick Tray, full of bright comic strip colors and stylized art deco sets.
