I'm sorry the old man, but I must disagree on the "Forbidden Planet" remake. While I generally agree that the remake/reboot/sequel fest needs to slow in favor of original ideas, I really think that "Forbidden Planet" deserves a good remake. The film certainly is old enough, so a remake could feel fresh if done right. I will say that I worry this remake could suffer the same fate as "Lost in Space" But I blame Matt LeBlanc for that! Woah! I’m sorry the old man, but I must disagree on the “Forbidden Planet” remake.

Straczynski has been tapped to write a "Forbidden Planet" remake? You know this is getting way, way outta hand. What does everybody think of an aggregate site to measure the popularity of such Dreck and throw it up for everyone to see? Maybe if studio heads knew just what audiences think of the numb nutty ideas that get tossed out here, they would stop wasting money on Model T's, and start building some Ferrari's and Rolls Royce's.

There is an interesting snipet over at Super Hero Hype about an article in Entertainment Weekly. The article offers a little more insight into why Terrance Howard lost his role as Rhodes in Iron Man. It's pretty good. Check it out here http://www.superherohype.com/news/ironmannews.php?id=7776 Just wanted to throw this out there.

When I read stuff like that I laugh because its just not believable. I also think that the superhero film will top out in the next few years as there now grasping at straws with ideas to bring to the big screen. Dr Strange does not excite me at all! When they announce a Wonder Twins film you know the genre's in trouble!

I posted a couple of times over there, basically asking people to be civil, and I have been following it even though I don't plan on posting there again. Boy have things gotten out of control. I had no idea so many people would have gotten so angry about that. Vic, I noticed you said you expected a fair amount of comments on the issue, but did you anticipate this much anger? I sure didnt. Lets change the subject. Dr Strange, the movie. I think it could be good. The animated film was really good. I think if they did the live action like the animated, it could be very very good. I'd love to see it, even though I'd imagine it'd have to be a CGI-fest. Bale will not end up being Dr Strange. The one thing I noticed about comicbookmovie.com is that they are very speculative. I find that they really cant be trusted when it comes to casting rumors. Thats why I left them and came here. Im interested in finding out if anyone here is excited about Punisher: War Zone?
