X-Men First Class was surprisingly good, my favorite of the X-Men movies. It almost made up for the embarrassing mockery that was Wolverine Origins.

The second Spidey was my favorite, by far. Hell, I'll still watch that movie if it's on cable on during the weekend.

I'd like to see focus on newer franchises, than spiderman. It's kinda played out after like the 3rd or 4th remake...(same with hulk, how many of those do we need?)

I'd like to see more building on the origins of the evil side.

An x-factor movie with Mr Sinister as the primary villian. He is such a good character.
IMO, marvel has failed to introduce interesting characters to the market. Mr Sinister's involvement with the X-men, Weapon X, Jean Grey, Scott Summers, naturally seems like the logical step. Introduce the marauders, the sentinels, cable, there is so much story if Marvel does it CORRECTLY!

And Goldeneye? Pierce Brosnan might be a real d*ckhead in real life, but he made a solid Bond and that movie was 100% Bond from start to finish. I'm probably biased a bit since it dropped when I was 8 years old and was followed up by the massive N64 game, so for a long time in my mind Bond = Brosnan. It wasnt til a few years later that I grew up and started to appreciate Roger Moore and Sean Connery as Bond.

what bond movie isnt predictable as hell? there isnt a single mysterious bond movie. even goldeneye was predictable, you dont put sean bean in a movie and then kill him off in the first 5 minutes, and not expect him to come back in some capacity.

i like bond darker. connery had dark moments but was still a suave dude, craig is dark, even dalton was dark although his movies were weak. but moore and brosnan were too corny for me and their movies were the most unbelievable.

and sean connerys best james bond movie was The Rock. just think on that one while your mind is blown!

If I'm not mistaken part of the studio contracts with Marvel is that they must produce a certain number of films in a certain amount of time. So to save the rights to the franchise it's sometime's easier to remake than to make new.

Agreed. I actually saw that one twice in theaters.

I'm waiting for a movie that has galactus in it. I was hoping that would have been the story line for avengers but it disappointed. The movie was great but I was hoping the eater of worlds was involved.

Connery's "darkness" was just that he would bang anything with a wet hole. Roger Moore pulled off the James Bond suave-ness, he had so many movies in the middle there that I don't know how you could say he didn't pull it off! Sure Moore and Brosnan were corny, but James Bond is kind of a corny character.... its always blown my mind that he's supposed to be a "secret agent", yet always introduces himself by name and acts as flamboyant as possible and makes a point to bang the bad guy's girlfriend to "kick the hornets nest." Like his job would be way easier if he was more incognito about it, but thats what makes him Bond.

I like that Daniel Craig could probably stand up to Connery in a match of fisticuffs, but his dark/grittyness is getting too far away from what Bond is. Casino Royale made sense because he was a fresh new 00 agent, and wasn't properly schooled in the smoothness that is Bond. He falls for the girl, loses her, and the movie ends with him truly giving zero fvcks. Skyfall was just weird... the villain was introduced way too late in the game, his motivations were idiotic, and M was way too weak and vulnerable.... and the ending scene reminded me way too much of another movie that ended in a remote wooded villa with a shootout involving double barrelled shotguns. Really, is that Bond?

Galactus was hinted in the last Fantastic 4 rise of the SS. Sadly, I think Marvel abandoned the F4 franchise for the highly successful Iron Man.

You want a secret agent? I'll take agent 86, Maxwell Smart.

forget 007...

theyre just taking bond in a darker direction. i like that theyre getting back to simple machine guns and a hand gun, instead of exploding pens and flying cars and boats with tanks growing out of them. i dug that the villain came in late cause i liked the build up (just like my music: long, slow, plodding, and boring to everyone else lol). how were his motivations idiotic? he hated M, that was it, and wanted her dead for what she did to him. pretty basic revenge motive, nothing fancy. no scheme to take over the world, or bankrupt a 3rd world country, or steal a pot of gold, simple revenge.

its just nice that theyre trying something different. i mean look at the last pierce brosnan movie: invisible car chases in an ice castle with a guy with a face made out of diamond. come the **** on lol. daniel craig is a bad ass that gives no ****s AND still tags any chick he wants. hes the best of all bond qualities!

Yeah this whole thing is blowing my mind. McAfee was posting on a harm reduction/drug information site that I also post on almost 2 years ago. He was talking about MDPV(one of the more common chemicals sold as "bath salts"). Of course no one knew who he was at the time. I was blown away when I found that out.

X-Men First Class was a really good movie! I also agree that the Wolvie origin story was bunk as hell too.

When I was a kid my whole existence was about comic books(and music). I didn`t like sports(still don`t) so I spent a lot of my time reading Marvel comics. Besides the Punisher,Wolverine and the X-Men were my favorite.
I loved every story involving Mr.Sinister! He was bad ass,mysterious and was always involved in some thing cool. If Marvel ever does anything with Cable,the Marauders, or Sentinels I`m going to have a mega nerd boner.

Same here. I had those stupuid Marvel Comic cards (although, I was into sports too). Think they are around here somewhere. The holograms were real popular. There was a sports card place near my house that would sell holograms for like $20 a pop.

Anywho, yeah Marvel has gold but they aren't sending up any rainbows. I would love to see a movie that followed the plot of the X-men cartoon of the early '90s.

Galactus WAS the big bad in the last F4 movie. Unfortunately it turned out that the devourer of worlds was just a big cosmic storm cloud. I guess they figured the traditional comic version would be too cheesy. Which is funny when you consider every other part of that franchise.

the last pierce brosnan movie

Don't you agree that his methods of doing so though were pulled straight out of the script for Live Free or Die Hard? That along with the way Bond / Bruce Willis is scoffed at as being an outdated, obsolete tool in a technology-controlled world, but the hero triumphs in the end using brute strength and wit... would have been fine n dandy if Die Hard and Eagle Eye didn't already pull that card years ago.

And yeah, that Pierce Brosnan one with the diamond face Asian dude was retarded.

Just for you, I'm gonna go home and watch Pierce Brosnan slay it in Goldeneye!

Yeah, pretty lame, IMO. The world eater in Green Latern was pretty cool. (don't follow DC so no clue how accurate it is to the story) The storm cloud, not so much.

- from what I understand the issue with a lot of Mini-buses / old Air Port Shuttles is that they're primarily designed for short trips at low speeds. A lot of bands get them, build beds and gear storage, and the thing takes a dump... I think that manufacturers tend to build over sized bodies on conventional frames / suspensions and therefore they do not hold up to the rigors of touring... Not saying it wouldn't work, just look at the details before you start putting 2x4's in it. Make sure the suspension can handle the load your going to putting it under, but of course this all depends on just "How Much" touring you intend on doing....

I totally had Marvel cards. I think I have like 2 or 3 complete sets from `91 to `93. Nerd power,ACTIVATE!!

Sorry if I'm quiet... I... just heard that Justin Beiber is working on some music with Corey Taylor. Trying to wrap my head around it... mind... not handling it so well.

Edit: Ok correction, Corey wants to work with Beiber. Still brain not work so good. Beiber is metal? I'm going to lay down for a while.

[dozicusmaximus]

BTW those Marvel cards were not stupid... They were the sh*t!! Gave us kids something to do during recess in the winter
