  1. If they're talking films that aren't direct sequels, then Avengers should only kinda be on that list. I mean... Shit I don't know what I mean, but it didn't exactly come out of nowhere.
  2. Haven't read the article yet, but does this mean Spielberg is going to put his son in a boat and send him to Bollywood?
  3. They didn't get the flashy stuff from Krypton. They Science!'ed their prison ship into a hyperdrive and spent decades touring the outposts and colonies sent out by Krypton during it's age of exploration*. That's where they got all the stuff. Someone, maybe here, pointed out that this was probably a slower than light expansion, which helps explain why the colonies and outposts failed. I'm not sure Krypton had faster than light travel until Jor-El invented it for Clark's ship.
  4. I saw it in 2d, but it looked to me like a film that would be poorly served by 3d. The action is too fast and cluttered (in a good way) for 3d.
  5. I don't get the big deal on the Walmart thing. They bought a bunch of tickets, but didn't use all of them. Do we discount everyone who pre-buys tickets and then doesn't end up going? Cause otherwise, every movie has some amount of this kind of shift in it's take.
  6. I agree that they never explain why no one else believes it, but Jor-El does say the reason was that they had been harvesting the core for resources. Between that and the use of the term "implosion", I think maybe they hollowed it out so much that the planet's gravity caused it to collapse on itself. That's not terribly scientifically sound, but then again, this is a film where different air lets you see x-rays.
  7. Awesome movie. McBride's ejection from the house was my hardest laugh I think. Especially when he gets all pissed that Franco was gonna send him out with a fake gun.
  8. Two reasons: One, Jor-El was the biggest advocate for the doomsday theory, only he was also about half as looney as Zod. Jor-El felt there was no point in saving anyone on Krypton, only in insuring the future of the Krypton race. And Two: Once Jor-El was dead, there was no longer anyone to ring the alarm bell anyway, and the Council was never convinced of Jor-El's doomsaying. Also: You guys didn't like the score?! That was the only thing I thought they got 100% right.
  9. I'd bet just about anything it's the source of these wildly varying numbers. Some people are counting it, some aren't, and nobody knows which is which.
  10. This. I love that the movie treated it as a tragedy, not a victory. All in all I really liked this movie. I may love it, given time. Also: Did anyone else expect Jor-el to whip out the sword of Greyskull there on Krypton?
  11. I don't care what I think of the movie. My whole day has been worth it just for this.
  12. None at all. ... ... Some got used at 7:00, though, if I understand correctly
  13. A lot of what that could have been had to have been bled off by the Walmart screening.
  14. Brilliant movie. Becomes one for the ages with "Superman".
