Mr. Hog

NO!!! Let Fitz die, but not Jemma Simmons! -slym She is easy on the eyes. Seen a Summer Glau image with a SHIELD logo. Is that just wishful thinking? Loved her in the Terminator series Summer Glau would make my post-puberty dreams... Oh how I love watching her.

I'll help you double your money!

Come on, the studio didn't make anywhere near those amounts, and when theater take, currency adjustment, film and distribution expenses, promotion, advertising, etc. are taken into account, I seriously doubt they make more than $100 total, on both movies, in net profit. If you see a WW box office total, take approximately 55% of it as take-home by the studio, then subtract production budget, advertising budget and distro/film copies, etc. Probably about $70 million on FF1 and maybe $20 million on FF2 in net take-home profit. And then that $90 million in real money gets put through the HW accounting machine and it comes out as a massive loss. At the end of the day, they did well enough in 2005, to spin the wheel in 2007 with the same cast. It was either insanity, or money. I'll give you the redactions for expenses... That said, I guess, why wouldn't they actually attempt to leverage the license to its fullest? That 27% approval number is horrible... And yet they still trudged forward with a 30% higher budget for the second one. Wait five years, rinse / repeat.

That's the point right... They keep making money despite reviews, so why change their 'creative' process. It grossed $331 WW in 2005 and only got a 27% approval rating. It made $231M WW!!! Why would they care... It made enough that they created another horrible movie with the same actors in 2007 - only breaking even domestically, but grossed nearly $280M WW, netting what? $158M?

But then the studios have your money - and I'll wait for some reviews before even thinking about spending a cent. A-MEN BROTHER!!!!

FF movie 2.0... It's not like you haven't seen it before though. It is what it is... And their other movies sucked... So was hoping that this iteration wouldn't... That's all. When you set a standard so low, you hope for something better.

I kinda get that they are going Ultimate with Spideman, Thor, most of the Marvel universe... Maybe this will work... But the problem is that they screwed up the origonal soooooo badly that people are still complaining. Frankly, Jessica Alba in a blonde wig is enough to make me want to puke despite it being Jessica Alba under the wig and contacts. Maybe they'll give Jonny Storm a sweet blonde wig and some blue eyes this go-round! How much different would it be, really? I don't care that much that they're younger, or that they're using the ultimate universe... It does bother me that there is such a trend toward elaborate creative freedom... Why not pasify both readers and the general public and stick a little closer to the source material especially since they are starting with ground zero - unlike Avengers Ultron, for example, where they want to fit in a great villain prior to introducing Pym. I ask honestly because to me it doesn't make any sense.

These are AWESOME. You should send them to me.

I hope so. The plan is to be here at least 5 years. If all goes well, then I'll retire either here or somewhere else.... My fingers are crossed for your long life!

That is awesome, the blend in the background is amazing. Well done sir.

So I love the paint job and they're cheaper ($) than Hot Toys, but for Ironman, I go with Hot Toys. Money probably spent elsewhere, but I'm a fan. I also have the Hulk. Which I like the Sideshow statue better, but the 16" hulk is pretty badass next to Ironman. My 2cents.

Almost as good as God is Dead!

Totally fin fang foom! And awesome

Lying in the middle of them making RRP angels... You glorious baasderd!

Never mind I see I'm too slow... Oh well next time

Maybe it's normal for shows to be written and directed by different people every single week, but this feels way too disjointed. Average is a great way to describe it. That said I hear the Black Panther is going to write and direct the 7th episode.

Hoarder Seriously though, lots of awesomeness there

Oh that is such a great book... gives me hope that I'll have one day...

This is def my fav right now. Saga is a close second. Trillium I think is fine but I read it in like 3 minutes, tops. It's a waste of money for me... I don't think this will get to saga speculation levels, the RRP maybe. This is sad because I have 25 ish copies of the reg 1 and several of the others, not 1 RRP and not going to pay 600 for one... When that gets me 1/4 way to a decent xmen 1.

Hahahahah Heck yes!!!

Soooo bummed I'm not there. Just love on your books extra long time for me... Love on it till the HC comes off... Ps: End of Watch comment... Brilliant!

Yeah... It made me regret ordering 13 copies. Doesn't look like the greatest Ditto. It doesn't look very good... Which sucks cause the covers look great... Jimmy, perfect # you ordered of this book. Don't know if you planned it that way...

She has super powers, right? Couldn't she have zapped him/hit him back or something? She's a victim of domestic abuse, an abuser psychologically grooms victims over time so it's not easy to fight back or expose the abuse. Alright there Buzz Killington. That got serious VERY quickly. But yes, very true. Domestic violence is horrible, so don't get me wrong... That said, this is a comic. I want to laugh at the giant arse antman became. WHAK! WOW so bad I need to pick up a copy.

I can totally see that. Especially in the taking of House of Mao - which was pretty badass. The hands are an interesting touch. Wondering about the vases. Have you seen any hints of how the world got that way? Is it because of the Horseman or are they a byproduct?

Just read 6. Is there any reason that this needs to be scifi? I mean, ok the kid is 'plugged in' but you can handle that many different ways. I love the book, don't get me wrong... I guess what I'm saying is, this could be easily offered to Mirimax and they could easily take liberties et la: 'Wanted'. Not to say that was good either... Maybe I just don't get what the futuristic spin on the story brings yet. Thoughts?
