    First Screenrant should get an app for Ipod store and android market and second does anyone know if The Avengers is going to be in Imax?

      I don’t think it’s going to be in IMAX… if it was, they probably would have shown an IMAX in the trailer.

      We are actually in the close to final stages of releasing the first version of our iPhone app. It will be very basic, but again remember it will be 1.0. My vision for the app is for users who want to check the site for the latest news over the course of the day while they’re not home. It will have sections for movie news, TV news, reviews and trailers.

      No polls, commenting, links, etc.

      But once it’s out we’ll see how popular it is and will then continue active development on adding features. As soon as the iPhone version is out, we’ll work on an Android version. I really don’t think we need an iPod version because I’ve been told (and seen it myself) that the site looks quite nice on the iPod. :)

        I visit and comment here on my iPod almost exclusively. Sure I don’t get the layout and pics of the homepage but for reading articles and commenting it’s fine. And I check in at least 5 times a day. I’m definitely interested in a app but I hope I can still interact the same way.

          Kevin7,

          Once we publish both an iPhone and an Android (and MAYBE a Windows Mobile) app, we will discontinue the “light” web version and people accessing via a browser will see the same version as the desktop.

              Well when everything is ready, you’ll get the full version of the site using a mobile browser. Another project we’re working on at the same time is streamlining the code to get the site to load as fast as possible.

        **SMACKS FOREHEAD** Why did I buy a Window’s phone? I’ll never get the app.

        Actually, I use my Kindle Fire, Window’s phone via Internet Explorer, laptop, and my desktop computer at work to do all my ranting. I have no issues with any of those now (the Window’s phone website viewing improved after the Mango update).

    Speaking of the avengers is it just me or is the marketing for the avengers not as intense as Thor and Cap were? Which disappoints me a buys cuz every poster or banner I’ve seen has been te same images that were released months ago? Trailer was epic there’s no lying there. Just wish we had better posters.

    Reply
    • TheAvenger    1 year ago

      Thing is, it’s still about 3 and a half MONTHS until the movie’s released…
      By the time when there’s 3 and a half WEEKS left, you’ll be seeing so many Avengers trailers, clips, images, posters, banners, sponsorship adds (you name it), that you won’t even have enough time to watch all of em’ – I guarantee it.

      We just have to be patient is all…

        the promo-pics of captain america was last year,this time! in the pics the costume was bulkier and a mix of ww2,the belt boots and so on,and of the ultimate series ,helmet without outstanding wings and so on. before the first real filmpics came out it was a lot different,but for the time very good and realistic and now the look is totally different from the first 4 promo-pics ,less bulkier,more comfortable,boots and handshoes looks great.

    What’s your choice for worst movie of all time? FOr me, it’s a tie between The Avengers (take your mouth off the floor TheAvenger; I’m talking about the British spy fiasco :o ) ) and Battlefield Earth.

      I’ve actually never seen The Avengers (the 1998 film) and I’m not planning on ever seeing it either.

      But as to the question: Worst movie of all time? – I couldn’t say really… since there are so many crappy movies out there.
      I try to block most of the bad movies out of my head, and even though I can name a few terrible flicks, I’m too ashamed to admit that I’ve seen them ;)

        @theavenger – What? I thought your screen name was referring to that movie. Now I’m just confused.

        @Kahless – I agree with Battlefield Earth and would add the Garbage Pail Kids movie from my childhood and Vanilla Sky. I’m sure there are much worse films out there, but I don’t run to the chance to watch bad movies.

            There’s no way I would watch either of those films again. Well, unless someone gave me an insane amount of money or they tied me up and glued my eyes open; that second part would torture me to death (death being the best part of it). :-P

        I only saw one Twilight film: New Moon. I was told that it was the best out at that time. My only reply was, “Really?” :-D . If New Moon was the best (which I thought was, at best, just mildly OK), then this was a franchise I wanted to stay far away from.

      Worst movie ever:
      From 1965, Orgy of the Dead. A guy and his girlfriend go on a drive, crash the car, wander into a cemetery, and are captured and tied up, forced to watch the dancing dead, which is just a euphemism for half-naked strippers. The majority of the film is watching topless ladies wiggle and jiggle their goods.

      I was bet to watch this film without fast-forwarding it. I made ten bucks, but man, I lost ninety-two minutes of my life!

      I define it as one of those “so bad it’s good” films. Some of the dialogue is laughably bad, but hey, Ed Wood wrote it, and it even stars Criswell, which is a plus. If you haven’t seen it, you should, just to say you did!

      The complete Mighty Ducks movie series, as someone who has played hockey their entire life, I’m embarrassed/ashamed that these movies came out. I know they are made for little kids, but my god, at least try to get the rules of the game right.
      I could easily go on for hours about how bad that movie series is, but I won’t waste any of your guy’s time.
      One last thing thought. Does anyone else find it weird that in the Mighty Ducks they go from winning their District championship to winning the GOLD Medal in the Junior Olympics to playing JV hockey?

    Hey guys!
    The question I want to ask isn’t really related to anything about movies or tv shows, but more about games… (so Vic, I really hope you don’t mind):

    I’m in the process of buying a new laptop (the Dell Vostro V3750). It comes with an i7 processor (2.2Ghz), 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, 8xDVD drive and nVidia Geforce GT525M 1GB graphics…
    Now, my question is, will I be able to play the newest games like Battlefield 3 on it? And if so, how high will I be able to run it? (i.e. on low settings, or could I play on medium or even high settings)

    If any of the tech-y ranters could be able to help me out, I’d really appreciate it :)

    Star Wars TV show.

    So is this a good idea? Well Lucas and Rick McCallum are seemingly trying to figure out how to do it for 5 mil. an episode.

    Ideally, yeah. Star Wars Tv sounds great, especially if it picks up post-return of the jedi/episode VI, and we can see new stories with some of the material from the novels if possible. (Boba Fett’s escape from the Sarlacc from – Tales from Jabba’s Palace novel), and the adventure’s of Han and Leia’s twins. Give Han Solo a chance to get his ballas back in the Correllian Wars. However, if the TV show is anything like the prequels, eps I, II, III…? Nobody wants that. Perhaps if the Farscape creators were hired to write and direct some episodes if could work.

    I miss the glory days though, in the theatre back at the opening of Empire… when Vader whooped luke, sliced him arm off and said, “I am your father!” whoooooooo… blew my mind.

Here’s a thought that I’d like to share with every movie enthousiast out there: a 100 pds 20 something girl, even if trained by the Navy Seals, will NEVER be able to kick the a.. of many 200 pds trained men! So, Hollywood, stop the non-sense! Avengers, Hanna, Resident Evil-Ultraviolet, Aeon Flux, Underworld, Kill Bill, Blade Trinity, Lara Croft-Salt-Wanted-Mrs Smith, Charlie’s Angel… And the list goes on and on! That’s not even funny anymore!
