    @cadrina: By the Power of GreySkull!. Just when I think that it could not get any gayer, I am proven wrong.

    You know, the fact that I owned He-Man dolls and watched this cartoon show and was not turned gay pretty much shoots the whole idea that you can be "turned" gay to hell. If He-Man couldn't do it, I can't see what in the world would.

    Then again, I do watch "Project Runway" with my wife, so maybe it had some kind of effect......

    It could work as a CGI kids movie but other than that I doubt that any live action version would be much better than the Dolf Lundgren version.

    @Belabras ate my dingo!: Lol. Yeah - I came across my old He-Man dolls a few years back and was astonished that they did not turn me gay. The entire concept is ultra-gay. It's the Village People meets Siegfried & Roy meets Robert Mapplethorpe. Didn't somebody have a whip as a weapon?

    I'm just...I'm just not really thinking this will work as a feature film, and I guess I never got into He-Man enough to care. Maybe this one should stay in development hell, or are there people really wanting to see this?

    The new Star Wars? Probably not as part of the allure of Star Wars at the time was that no one was expecting it.

    I think any time someone says "this is going to change ..." followed by something seemingly taken for granted, it won't.


    Usually the things that "changed the world" weren't created in that spirit; someone had a vision and followed it, and it caught on in such a way that it became world-changing.


    I'm not trying to be a contrarian, but claims like that tend to keep me away from what they're attempting to promote, not intrigue me.

    The Matrix was the Star Wars of its day. There may have been another Star Wars pop-zeitgeist-paradigm-shifter in the late 80s early 90s, but I can't think of one. This movie is going to have to be really kick-ass and really, really original to be the new Matrix/Star Wars.

    Titanic was such a piece of romance novel shit, I have my doubts, but he did make the Terminator, which could be considered a mini Star Wars of its day [though it rapes all logic--only living tissue can travel through time? So shove a nuke up a dog's ass--and the T2 only LOOKED like living flesh, so paint the nuke like cock and send it through!].

    Frankly, if the teaser trailer is any indication, it sounds like it will suck. Let's see: Annoying fucking song - and this horribly-written dreck: "HOME SWEET HOME / THERE ARE 70,000 MILLION MILLION MILLION VISIBLE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE / MAYBE ONE / JUST ONE / HAS A NEW WORLD / TO DISCOVER / TO EXPLORE / TO CONQUER / TO CALL HOME / SUMMER 2009 / WE'LL TAKE YOU TO ONE"

    Not excited about any of the actor either, though I like Ribisi, it doesn't look like he'll have a big role.

    Feh.

    ach. I wish we could just run out of disaster themed movies, each one of which has to top the rest. So because the Maya calendar runs out of days, the world is going to end? Lame. When your calendar runs out of pages, you know what you do? You get NEXT year's calendar. The Maya calendar resets to 0.0.0.0. but that doesn't mean the end of the world, folks. If your odometer rolls over to all zeros, does your car explode? Yeah, I know, it's just a movie, but a lot of people are getting suckered into the doomsday scenario that it represents. See you in 2013.

    @wil9000: People are talking about "Look at all this bad stuff that happened every time the Mayan calendar rolled over!" What they overlook is that the bad stuff only happened to THE MAYANS. The rest of the world kept going just fine each time. So 2012 is only bad if you're a Mayan. You might wanna stay out of Mexico and Guatemala that day, but no biggie otherwise.

    @Superawesomerad: and unless I am completely retarded (rehetorical statement not needing any responses), Angels and Demons took place before DaVinci Code.


    At least I read it first.
