In the second Batman Forever clip, when Bruce Wayne asked, "What's in there?" I half expected Alfred to reply,"Only what you take with you. You're weapons. You will not need them."

Why does Ten Forward look so small in that Nemesis clip? I realize that the Enterprise E was smaller in terms of crew compliment than D, but that looked no bigger than the retrofitted galley on Voyager.

@EdificeComplex:
It looked the same size because it was the same set, and it wasn't Ten Forward, it was just an officer's lounge. Ten Forward was the size it was because it served three times as many people, on a much larger ship.

As for Superman IV, I'm getting a real Wild World Of Batwoman vibe from it.

I love the T3 clip. It's the best part of that movie, despite not actually being in the movie.

Leia and Solo making out was pretty much the only actual sexual expression out of the entire Star Wars Saga (the green slave girl's boob and Leia slave girl outfit doesn't count.) Might have done Lucas a world of good if he added some sex to Star Wars. No wonder they needed clones.

As for Sgt William Candy, I'm glad they cut it. That was pretty stupid especially when Candy sounds like what one would consider the stereotype of a Southern fried idiot.

Some of those are awesome!!! The Terminator one ive seen before. What a crazy ass clip.

Now I know I might turn a few people here....but Watchmen was amazing. I personally cant wait for the super-duper extended edition. This scene was left out and I think its absolutly beautiful and tragic all in the same go!!!

@CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): A lot of "official" postings on YouTube block embedding now because the embedded players code can be exploited to download copies of the video. Disabling embedding also prevents websites like KeepVid from snagging downloadable links.

@CyberSlug Labs: Why have the link there in the first place then??? Its a borrowed code. Nothing more. Rather than blocking safe users who just want to add the link to a safe legit website. Why cant they just find a better way of stopping the downloads!!

Another thing that pissed me off was something so trivial that its worth overlooking once. But hundreds!! Thats just not cricket. I tried to watch an Iron Maiden vid on youtube and it said 'sorry not available in your country'. Im sorry WHAT!! Iron Maiden is british fuckin metal band. I can understand an american vid not playing over here. It happens a lot with ther MTV player and that I can live with. But blocking UK users from watching UK stuff!! Eh!!!????

Well, except for Phoenix leaving. Instead, she killed herself because she realized she could become evil again and destroy existence. #xmen

I dont understand how so many people love X3.

It's overly vulgar, all the characters became caricatures of themselves, the script is absolute shit, they turned Wolverine into a sniveling little pussy, they killed the Cyclops, completely mishandled the Phoenix and wasted a ton of mutants that could have been great additions to the franchise had they been given anything resembling depth.

And I'm convinced they kept the cock-helmet design of Juggernaut just so Kitty could call him a dickhead. Thats just fucking ridiculous.

X3 is 100% shit. #xmen

@GeneJacket: X-3 was 97% shit- I still contest that Kelsey Grammar as Beast was truly inspired casting, and that one moment where Professor Xavier gave Wolverine a quick, wry smile before being obliterated was truly beautiful (and of course in my heart I know Professor X astrally projected to the other side of the galaxy, or something like that- I forget the details of that little trip).

The rest sucked, but Frasier-Beast and Prof X dying but knowing he won't die and simply not having the time to explain so he just smiles to let Logan know it will be alright, and the confusion on Logan's face- at least that much was watchable and enjoyable. i just hated everything else. #xmen

@BlueBeard: I can agree with Grammar as Beast, he was perfect. The lack of Nightcrawler was a real letdown as well, as he was the real highlight of the brilliant X2. #xmen

@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Kids mostly, people who haven't been reading x-books for 20+ years. I know a surprising amount of people who love X3, though they all say its because of the action, which I think is some of the most poorly shot action in a superhero film. #xmen

@BlueBeard: Well, the story goes that he and Singer did not get along at all. Whether this was over Singers direction or a personal issue was never said, but Cummings has stated that he and Singer did not get along during shooting, and decided (when singer was still attached) not to do X3.

Its also being said that in the first drafts that Singer had commissioned, Nightcrawler was mentioned by other characters, though not featured. #xmen

@GeneJacket: Wait... there are people who liked that action? I mean, I'm really good at divorcing a film from its source material, and even I hated X3. The plot was nonsensical, the characters were caricatures, and the action, as you pointed out, was terrible. There was nothing whatsoever redeeming about it, despite the obvious attempts to pander ("I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!", making Wolverine the main character of the story, killing Cyclops off, etc.) #xmen

The Rogue thing actually kind of offended me. I mean, if the X-Men are taken as a metaphor for being gay (for instance), the movie is saying that it's okay to be ashamed of who you are and to try to do anything you can to be rid of it. I'm not sure I agree with that. I kept picturing some kid watching the movie who happens to live in a very oppressive part of the country who is trying to deal with being different. I don't think Ratner and company intended to give this message, but that's the message I saw. Even in a future with superhero mutants, fight to save the status quo, no matter how oppressive it is.

Of course, it could've just been the sheer incompetence of the writing that put this across. #xmen

Keep in mind, however, there was no Watchmen film nor recent Superman film when they were throwing around these ideas. #xmen
