This Friday …
Here’s our weekly post where you can talk about whatever you like as long as it’s related to movies, TV or Screen Rant itself.
This Friday I’ll be posting up my Wanted review. I saw it last week but I may go see it again tomorrow to see if I like it any better the second time around. Unless a second viewing changes my mind I think I’m going to be one of the lone voices out there who didn’t think it was “all that.”
I don’t want to taint this thread with my thoughts, this is for you to talk about what’s on your mind.
Have fun and play nice.

Wipeout on ABC. Anyone catch that?
The contestants are crazy, the writers are incredibly insightful with their sarcastic edged observations on the players, and I have never laughed so hard, for so long in all my life.
From the Giant Balls that bounced people like rag dolls to that spinning contraption, it was nuts and actually fun for me to watch.
My ribs still hurt today from laughing so hard at this show.
I have been seeing a lot of ads about saving Jericho paid for by Fans of Jericho.
I thought Jericho HAD been saved .
Didnt they cut a deal with Comcast?
I haven’t come across any updates yet, but since some of the cast had gotten other jobs already (If I remember correctly), the odds of it being the same Jericho are small.
The oddest thing – I’ve been coming across sites for saving shows: That haven’t even started yet. What the bloody heck is that about?
I Tivo’d “Wipeout” but haven’t watched it yet. Looks like it was drawn directly from G4′s “Ninja Warrior” (which is an AWESOME show).
Curious to see how it stacks up. If you haven’t seen NW on G4 I highly recommend it.
Vic
Isn’t Wipeout basically the same thing as MXC?
Vic, Matt: Yes. You’re both right.
Vic: The humor without the subtitles!!
The writing is on par with MST3K jabs.
i too, recorded Wipeout. Going to watch it tonight.
VIC MATE, I THINK YOU SHOULD SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE,GO BACK AND GIVE THE INCREDIBLE HULK AT LEAST 4 STARS IN YOUR REVIEW!!!C’MON YOU KNOW NOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS THAT YOU WERE A WEE BIT ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE WHEN YOU FIRST SAW THE MOVIE…POEPLE WONT LAUGH AT YOU OR SNIGGER BEHIND YOUR BACK,THEY’LL RESPECT YOU…LOOK UP TO YOU…AND YOU CAN LOOK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND KNOW THAT YOU WERE A MAN NOT AFFRAID TO SAY…”I SHOULDN’T HAVE GIVEN THAT HULK MOVIE A LOW SCORE!!!
VIC MATE…YOU GOT IT WRONG GIVING THE INCREDIBLE HULK A ROTTEN STAR REVIEW…YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT AT LEAST 4 STARS….GO ON GO BACK AND UP THAT STAR!!!THE HULK MOVIE IS A CRACKER!!!!
Braveheart,
First, you don’t have to type in ALL CAPS to get my attention or express your opinion.
Second, believe me I’ve been considering doing just what you suggest and bumping it up to a 4/5. Not that I think 3.5/5 is so terrible.
Vic
I agree that Hulk deserves a 4 by your rating system, but I would suggest re-watching it if you get a chance to make sure you think so too before changing your rating (if you can change your own ratings)
Hey Vic, I have a comment about the website.
Today, the ads on the top and top-right having been auto-popping out all over my screen when im trying to scroll quickly (incredibly annoying) then when I click the ‘X’ to close, sometimes it opens it goes to that page and I want to smash my head against the monitor, haha. I don’t suppose there’s anything that can be done about that eh?
Rob,
Sorry about that bud. I discovered that if you click on the page anywhere off the ad it closes it.
On a side note: I just got back from “Hancock” and to my surprise I thought it was GREAT. Only comment I have is that it most definitely should have been rated R.
Vic
I’ve seen the ads for Jericho and there expensive.
Let’s support them. If not in spirit.
Great news Vic.I new this movie would be a cracker.If you really think just what the guys that made it happen have actually done with this movie,it’s is amazing.They have managed to pull the Hulk back into the main-stream without alienating the Ang Lee movie,there are little strands of that movie blended in with the tv show and the comic book whilst making it all look new and fresh.Infact i watched the 2003 movie and enjoyed it for what it was,but knowing my favourite character is back in an even greater movie now just makes watching it a more nice experience.I think this Hulk movie will eventually gain cult status through time and word of mouth.Think i’ll just nip out and see it again now!!!Cheers vic.
Personally thought 3.5 out of 5 was quite fair, have heard a lot worse reviews.
The review itself, which is what really matters, was very fair too.
Doubt the cult status idea though, simply as this is SuperHero Year, and I think people will remember 2008 for Iron Man, Indiana and Batman mainly.
I like “Jericho” way way better than another ahem series about the end.. I just can’t let go of the diservice I feel they did to that franchise. But enough about that. On a much more fun note anybody checked “Iron Sky”? Now is your chance to help mold a 21st century struggling production. Could be this century’s cough, cough, “Mars Attacks!”
Of course no matter the power source lift to orbit is a daunting task. The Saturn V which carried the payloads to the moon itself weighed 6.2 million pounds you have to lift that first before you carry even one pound of payload. Just the first stage generated 7.5 million pounds of thrust. Total thrust generated equivilent to energy produced by over 80 Hoover dams.
Just wanna chime in and thank Vic for a great site!
The new upgrades and features are awesome.
Also, when I had a problem with the mobile version Vic went out of his way to help me get connected. Aaahh, no other Web-Master would do that. (Especally for me).
Thanks again Vic hope your site only gets bigger and bigger in terms of success in the field of Entertainment Websites.
Great Job to Vic and his Staff!!
Thanks, bud – I appreciate it.
Vic
Vic,
Are you going to post a review of Hancock or have you already and I have not seen the thread…I am so glad to hear you say it was great because I am really looking forward to this movie and I think Charlize is the bad guy…I just get that impression from the trailers and promo stuff….Shite!! I hope that’s not a spoiler…
CHeers
Crap my last post got lost to the great internet abyss again…Vic the refresh does not do for me dude as I hit it a few times and waited and then hit it again and my comment was lost ..I know that sending this it will now post my two comments again but here goes anyway..
I am so glad to hear you say that Hancock was GREAT…****POSSIBLE SPOILER HERE***…I think Charlize is the real villian of the story because of one particluar scene in one of the trailers. It’s just she was all dolled up with shades on and as she takes them off she looks quite menacing…I think one of her powers is weather manipulation too…***END OF SPOILER*** I am really looking forward to this as I think a lot of elements in this movie were how Superman Returns should have been..Action wise I mean….Don’t get me wrong in that I loved Superman Returns especially since it was an homage to the Donner superman take…
damn..two comment lost…refresh not working…getting angry again…AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Vic I am so glad to hear you thought Hancock was GREAT…I am really looking forward to this movie…are you going to post a review or have you done that already? I know it’s at 33% positive on RT..SHEEEESH!!!
Cheers
Hey Green, sometimes your web browser’s cache gets confused, and when you refresh, it doesn’t show new updates for a site.
Try holding the shift key and pressing F5 on your next refresh and see if that helps.

I emailed Green, for some reason his comments were caught by the spam filter.
Regarding Hancock, review will be up next Friday.
Vic
I wish Spamer-man would leave my comments out of his web!!
Thanks Bruce & Vic
They are all there now SHEESH!! Vic how was Hancock? LOL
