[scifinoir2] Re: Will America Watch Watchmen?

The teaser trailer for Watchmen is the best thing I've seen in a long time and all the early screenings have generated nothing but positive buzz. The point about the ending has some merit and I'm interested in seeing how they pull it off. I agree about American audiences being provincial and film

About the dubbing? Yes I am. The redubbed Mad Max still pops up on cable quite a bit. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > What??!! Are you serious?! > > -- Original message -- > From: "B. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

I'd rather see Mary Jane recast and have her character act more like the Mary Jane in the comics. I'm more interested in who the villain(s) will be in the next movie. I always thought the Lizard being hunted by Kraven the Hunter would make a good story. Man-Wolf could be interesting as well i

Alan Moore created Sodam Yat and had big plans for him before he and DC fell out. He was going to be one of the main figures in Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes series. Unfortunately that project will never see the light of day. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Martin Baxter" <[EMAIL PR

[scifinoir2] Re: How Did The Fall Scifi TV Shows Fare?

No rhyme or reason at all for her ratings and she's a bit biased. How does Sanctuary get an A for anything? I'm surprised Heroes is tanking this year. It's actually interesting despite some X-Men-ish family melodrama. Papa Petrelli is a far scarier bid bad than Adam was last year, Mohinder has

How does this guy keep getting chances? This would probably be ok if Night wasn't writing the stories. Storytelling is his big weakness. Maybe he'll do the treatments and let more talented folks flesh them out. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Tracey de Morsella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
