since it is i'll make it short. my brother told me that the new superman movie took 350 million dollars to complete. does anyone know if that's true? also,...
Superman - rumors have been flying about a runaway budget, but Bryan Singer was pretty confincing at comic convention appearances last month where he explained...
yeah, Bryan Singer really has a history of wasting budget money, huh? that's why he jump started the ENTIRE genre of comic adaptations with one of the cheapes...
cap is my all time favorite character. i honestly developed most of my personal morality around his strong, simple beliefs in right and wrong. and lorne...
From: "Jason Lethert" <$200 million is not exorbitant at all. fucking a - Fantastic Four was $150 million, and it had, what - two memorable fight scenes?>> If...
During the post 9-11 era I thought there was a time when a Cap movie would have been right on the money. Not fighting Arabs; but terrorists like AIM, Hydra,...
yeah, but making a $200 million movie is a little different than fixing your roof. i heard the sistine chapel went over budget too, but no one was calling ...

i hear ya, al - but i think there are a lot of people out there that are oh so eager to tear down singer and his superman project. a percentage of it even...
From: "Jason Lethert" < a percentage of it even seems to be from homophobia.> I didn't know he was gay. Since I grew up back in the era of Liberace, Rock ...
I'm not a movie expert but am I right in thinking almost all movies run over budget? It's almost a status symbol I remember when Star Wars first came out, and...
I think one reason its so hard to make a Cap movie is that he's going inevitably a political figure by dint of his very name. It would be incredibly difficult...
From: "Riff DeVin" <Without Tony, G Dubya would be hamstrung) ... Without Tony Blair as GW's main cheerleader, the world would have turned on GW a long time...
Probably true and I supported the war itself in principal but I have to say the execution of the "War on terror" has done nothing to reduce terrorism. however ...
i disagree, Riff - cap got his start taking on Hitler, so i think if done right (which wouldn't be easy) could be VERY resonant against today's madman, bin...
it is a very common occurance. whether "almost all" or not, i can't say, but it is not strange or surprising, especially on a large technically challenging...
