  1. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. Not much on my mind today. Today was a total loss. My mind is like a bunch of nothing, but maybe tomorrow. So it goes. I just don’t have much to say recently, but whatever.

  2. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing , but oh well. More or less nothing notable going on to speak of. I just don’t have anything to say these days, but maybe tomorrow.

  3. keep attacking superman doug. With every fibre of your being attack this turgid looking load of shit. Use the movie blog as your platform for good. I feel like john and the others on here are seeing some different trailers to me???? what in the fuck looks a good about this film? ? ? ? and now it is a chick flick?? jesus h christ . . . . . . i can’t wait till this thing has come out and ebveryone is talking about how shit it is. lets face it….it can;t be anything short of fucking amazing to not be considered a massive failure. whats the rumour budget…$250 mill or something like that?? so basically for a film to make its money back on a budget that size it has to make at least 2 – 3 times that domestically or it has to have lord of the rings, potter, star wars type worldwide grosses. big budget films have to have huge worldwide grosses before they start to see any money. which it won’t. this film will be lucky to make 200 mill u.s.. it will finish up around 400 worldwide which will be considered a disaster. I love singers films. I really do. All of them so far.As a director i think he is up there with the best but this superman looks so bad my eyes actually sting when i see any visuals from it. It makes my urine burn.

  4. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

    Dunno if i am looking forward to Superman or not, one hand the chick flick thing is probably the worst goddamn idea i’ve ever heard for a movie like this, but on the other to reiterate SPOILERS AHEAD ( i think)

    apparently theres 3 or four other super villians in this one as said by latino review. so on one hand, chick flick pisses me off completely, but on the other, with the speacil effects this movie is pulling superman vs supervillians similar to him could be goddamn amazing.

  5. Guys, please answer this question. Why do you guys insist on these shows being around or less than 30-45 mins. You cut off last one even when you had more stories. I enjoy you guys and I would perfer a longer show over a shorter show every day. You ever consider rounding it out at an hour?

  6. An action flick can do a romance that can actually HELP rather than HINDER the story. I submit Empire Strikes Back and True Lies. Those movies wouldn’t have been as good as they were w/o some lovin’, but it didn’t get to the point of sappy melodrama. Han was still a badass after he got Leia. He didn’t turn into a simpering bitch like Supes seems to in all these commercials.

  7. Ha, loved the twist ending there John. Did you hear about the whole 3D IMAX concept for Superman Returns. They’ve converted 20 minutes, out of the 150 min running time, of the film into 3D (which you’ll need 3D glasses to watch). The 20 mins of 3D are spread throughout the film and the cue to put on your glasses is apparently when Clark takes his off to transform into Superman. I for one, think that’s insanely cool.

  8. Lindsay Lohan was a sweet nice girl. Lindsay Lohan is 20 yrs old now. I was thrilled that, after the mistake of Herbie (note to John: the TV movie a few years back with Bruce Campbell—far better!) she decides, very wisely to listen to Tina Fey and other SNL folk who were concerned for her well being. She also decides to be a sweet, nice lass and pursue indie films….and overcoming an eating disorder (although she likes to spin it in a denial)

    She gets to work under Robert Altman! She gets to work with Streep! She starts to get more respect in a short amount of time, gets good parts and the possibility of new and talented filmmakers to have her name in thier picture is great. As she matures as an actress, her hardcore teen base matures with her.

    I was now a Lindsay Lohan fan. So she has a spat with that over pampered puss Paris Hilton. I would have PAID MONEY to witness that UFC bout ! I would have handed Lohan the damn baseball bat and tell her to start swinging. There is nothing, or no one more irritating than Paris Hilton.

    So Lohan, after saying the hit on the Hilton was out of proportion, then eyeballs Jessica Simpson and supposedly gets into another brawl. Holy shit! Lohan is now this tough chick, and truly has reinvented herself! Lookout Michelle Rodreguiez, Lohan will soon be after your DUI mantle. Just give her time…she’ll join you in France.

    Now she walks off a movie set, and…well, this film has got great talent attatched to it and still gets good actors onboard. I haven’t lost all respect for Lohan, but I’m getting there. Right now I think that she’s going through some sort of phase where she doesn’t know her right shoe from her left. Her last film, Just My Luck, could have used some.

    To announce that she only wants to work with “name” directors is an insult to the directing duo of “Bill”, although in the long run, they will most likely be better off without her. The mere fact that in less than 24 hours the filmmakers can attach not only Liz Banks but Jessica Alba speaks bigger and better volumes. Alba- who has had bigger hits than Lohan- just took her seconds and will be done in time for Fan4 The Next Chapter in August.

    Message is loud and clear.

    I offer no ill will towards Lohan. I hope her current mood swings get under control, if she has a problem, that she get help. I got this feeling that it would not surprise me if she started popping pills and hitting the bottle. I know that’s a sad thing for me to think about, but that’s what I’m thinking.

    But regardless of her problem, she needs to get her shit together. Filmmakers, “names” or not will take a closer look at the events leading up to her walking off the set, what she said when she walked, and how fast actors, perhaps even more talented, signed on after. What do you think even the “name” directors will do? Unless she gets her shit together?

    Pass her up for Jessica Alba?
    Damn skippy.

    Advice to Lindsay Lohan: Get your shit together and don’t behave like a spoiled brat

    Advice to Jessica Alba: If you get hard up for parts, which I doubt you will, follow Lohan like a hawk.

    Advice to Jessica Simspon: If you really want to be an actress, follow Lindsay like a hawk, and everything Jessica Alba shoots down, take.

    Advice to Paris Hilton: duck.

  9. ok, let me just say. i hate lindsay lohan with a passion, mostly because she couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag (not sure what that means) or the fact that her tits are covered in freckles, she’s not sexy!but when you (john) were talking about lindsay lohan being in nothing memorable or having not worked with any decent directors. She also has just had A prairie home companion with woody harrelson & meryl streep. Also starring in the new Bobby Kennedy flick with the ensamble cast written and directed by Emilio Estevez (EMILIOOOOO!!! EMILIOOOO!!! … haha! always make me think of a night at the roxbury!) and also has chapter 27 (i think it is) with Jared Leto as the bloke who shot john Lennon or one of the other beatles …. food for thought …. will hs ebe remembered, other than this bullshit with “bill”, she seems to be making more mature movies these days (excluding that piece of shit about luck that cam out a couple of weeks ago).

    PS. Scarlett Johanson fucked Benicio Del Toro in a elevator at the oscars … Go wolf man!

  11. Thank ya very much for clearing that up. When I first read that, I thought 59 mil was a bit off. I should’a figured the domestic thing though.

  12. Hey there Joey,

    Hellboy did make $59 million domestically… but world wide it made just a hair under $100 million.

    And Nazz,

    We just blathered about some nothing stuff… wasn’t interesting at all… so I just cut it out instead of subjecting you guys to it.

    Cheers!

  13. Superman Returns will rock. Lindsay Lohan sucks. And cool about Hellboy 2, but I think it did lose money, well the first one. I found that the budget was 66 million, and it made 59 million. I could be wrong, but… thats just what I found. But I’m wrong alot, so you know. But there are dvd sales and stuff like that.

  14. Dan Harris & Mike Dougherty are the ones who made Wolverine a pussy in X2, and they will be the ones who make Superman the pussy of the century. I should’ve mentioned it before, so that I could I’ve been saying it for some time. But those writers took the scene in the tent, where originally Wolverine did get it on with Mystique in the shape of Jean Grey, and did their re-write. They said that Wolverine is so whole-heartedly IN LOVE with Jean Grey, that he would not settle for something else. David Hayter – original writer, wrote X-Men – and overall badass, had the reasoning “Well why shouldn’t Wolverine, you know, get some”.

    I can’t believe that the people involved with the production actually thinks that saying it is a chick flick will make it more succesful…At least we can’t complain that they lied afterwards.
