It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for our weekly discussion post, where you determine the topics.
Being that it’s April Fool’s Day, maybe you’d like to share some of the better pranks you’ve pulled on family and friends – or pranks that you’ve fallen for…

So… how about that Wolverine movie? I say even with all the completed special effects I still give it a 3/10. I mean they freaking made Gambit a wimp, took away deadpools speaking ability, not to mention botched the overall idea of weapon x…btw when did Agent Zero/Maverick turn asian? Whoever wrote the script has a museum in hell dedicated to him, GOD I HATE FOX!!!! I have to say Liev Schrieber was the best part. Anyone else get to watch it before Fox pulled the links?
Hey Vic have you heard anything on the breaking story that Jon Favreau has left Ironman 2 so he can direct the upcoming Sopranos film?
@spark. i think itll def be more than 3/10!
790….april fools. nice. (i hope)
any news on the upcoming season of entourage?
oh i fell for a good prank! I frequent a message board for saltwater fish tanks. They made it so that for every time the word SUMP shows up, it gets replaced with Christmas Tree Stand. I really thought they came up with a new term for about 7-8 minutes before i realized what was going on.
So anyone as excited as me for the upcoming Rescue Me season? I can’t f’n wait, it’s been way too long, and this season is 20-some episodes, it’s gonna be sweet!
Well, speaking of april fool’s jokes, Vic would have had the biggest one of all time if people haven’t ruined it in the comments, geez. I was reading it HOPING to see a bunch of screaming angry fans… Oh well.
Here’s one: http://cars.about.com/b/2007/04/01/corvette-to-get-diesel-power-for-2009.htm
Actually,
Favreau left Iron Man 2 to direct Gilligans Island :the Movie.
……I’m not joking. The movie was leaked last night around ten o clock and it sucked major beeeeeeep. (seriously this isnt an april fools message but I’m sure the leak was…) but seriously if you can still find it dont watch it or go to theaters… they killed the X-men
So…they already ruined the X-men. And called it X3. My best hopes for this film rested with Deadpool. And now they’re shot. Guess this is the closest I’ll get. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FujVOhVVzUM&feature=PlayList&p=449B1B56A82D65CA&index=0&playnext=1
I wonder when they will make a live action movie of the Smurfs…. Isn’t that the current fad?
does anyone else think a big scren adaptation of “the Call of Cthulhu” would work?
Vic!!! is it true about the Wolverine film? About it being leaked?
Yup, the Wolverine story is true and not an April Fool’s prank.
Vic
Damn, i really hate people who do that. people hate Fox, but alot of people might lose money cuz of this. And then you have the idoits that actually support this and download it illegaly. This is sad.
Vic, you think Fox would do anything about it? like release it at a later time to add or remove things? From what im reading alot of people have already seen it.
“A lot” is a relative term. Maybe hundreds of people have seen it, if that many.
Most of the guys I know who run movies sites are pretty supportive of Fox over this and I doubt there will be many reviews/plot spoilers popping up on legit sites.
Vic
now i have to worry about people like Spark who have seen it and start talking about it like everyone else has seen it too.
@JMoney
Dude I’m ecstatic for the new Rescue Me season too, it’s been two freaking years cause of the strike and now we get a whole 22 episodes, 22 weeks in a row I think. This is my favorite show on tv right now and I know that season 4 wasn’t as good as the previous 3, but maybe having an extra year off did the show good cause I heard that this is some of the best stuff they have written and that they got a contract for a 6th season cause the early reviews are so good.
I am REALLY liking “24″ this year. The end of each episode has left me screaming “ARGGHHHHH!!” because of the cliffhanger. It’s nice to see that the loss of last season hasn’t diminished the quality of this show. Hopefully soon I get some time to watch the SEVEN episodes of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles I have on the DVR. It’s not something the GF is interested in. Thankfully she watches “24″, “Heroes” and “Smallville” with me. LOL.
I also think that the person who released Wolverine to the internet should be tarred, feathered and thrown in jail. As much as I don’t support FOX and it’s creative decisions regarding X-Men, it IS their movie and their property and an illegal download is paramount to stealing the movie. I hope they find the person and make an example of them.
Andy S,
I dont like what they are doing with Jack right now.
and its only going to get worse before it gets better .
The first 5 years of 24 were GREAT .
but the consistency of the quality of their episodes has declined since then.
I know this is a bit late, but I FINALLY got to watch Hellboy 2 last night and I really enjoyed it. I am disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to see it in the theater. I thought Ron Perlman was great as Hellboy again. While not as good as the original, it definitely was not a major letdown. I am hoping for a Hellboy 3….any word on that, Vic??
I wonder if they are ever going to do a Hercules reboot. With current technology, it would be cool to see more myth based movies with mythological monsters…
Andy S,
there hasnt been word on hellboy 3 and i doubt del toro will return considering hes booked til 2017(if i remember correctly) so either they need a new director or what ten years.
it was sending me over to fast and the furious trailer when is was trying to write a post yesterday
@hud
Yeah, sorry about that – I had set something up incorrectly but I fixed it this morning.
Vic
@Matt K….thanks for the info. I didn’t realize del Toro was that in demand. I would be up for having another director in the franchise EXCEPT Brett Ratner. I just wonder if the low box office ($75 mil) is going to shut this franchise down.
So, did anybody see Fast & Furious this weekend?
Sorry Gary, I like Vin Diesel, but not that much.
The fact that “Fast & the Furious part 3″ had a better opening weekend than “Watchmen,” is a clear sign that I’m “at least” outnumbered by retards,,,
8-(
Take the short bus home on that bs. 77mill! Wtf!???
Hollywood recession? Yeah hmmm cough right !!!
