on Mar 19 2007 06:45 AM [b]Ok, now give Snyder $500 million to do watchmen[/b] I need a really good Watchmen, give Zack a big sack of Money so I get some Crazy Dr. Manhattan scenes, fool! The man proved himself, now let him make a really over-bloated even more CGI-laden action epic. Or do a sequel to 300, either way... (Reply to this) |
on Mar 19 2007 08:49 AM I'm happy to see 300 still raking in the money. I saw Wild Hogs this weekend and thought it was definitely better than the critics have been saying, it was just a fun time at the movies not the greatest movie ever which is just fine(B). (Reply to this) |

on Mar 19 2007 09:48 AM In reply to this comment (#858654) I know, huh? I reallly liked Zodiac, and i saw it at the latest showing at 11:30PM, and STILL enjoyed it! I'll bet this movie will have a better run on DVD, it seems that it was mostly the running time that killed its streak. When people are able to pause it to run to take a leak and grab some nachos and refill their Jack and Coke, people will probably be more likely to enjoy it. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 19 2007 06:22 PM In reply to this comment (#858654) Totally agreed. Why aren't more people seeing this great movie? =( Nice to see 300 still making a good sizeable amount. But heres hoping more people see Zodiac when it comes out on DvD. It really is a good movie. (Reply to this) |
