Batman vs Superman

Jurassic Park, Passion.....and The Santa Clause.....damn you really don't like to go to the movies much huh?

Those movies are pretty old now lol

Did it work? LOL

I'm thinking "but" means no.

My point is only that movies depicting comic book characters are such a departure from the comics themselves they have to be regarded as another thing altogether.

Yes, they're both about Batman/Superman, but comics are not a proper match for movies.

Hence marvel cinematic universe takes place place on earth-199999 vs earth-616. We live on earth-1218 for those who didn't know.

For DC, we are earth 33. So I just apply the same principal and enjoy the movies whatever "earth" they take place.

I think you nailed it for me, Bobby - I'm a purist.

Honestly, the last two movies I went to see - that I wanted to see - were Jurassic Park and The Passion.

I was a dinosaur nut as a kid, and my faith demanded I see The Passion.

Neither was preceded by a book, so there's that, but going back further, every time I went to see a movie inspired by a book, I was severly disappointed; the only movie I ever saw that compared (even remotely) to the book was The Hunt For Red October.

My disenchantment with movies is pretty comprehensive.



I did take a female and her son to see "The Santa Clause" back in the day cuz in an effort to get laid, but.

Hunt for the Red October was AWESOME!

Oh, it worked fine - it just didn't work out.

Yes, Paul - such is my disenchantment with movies.

Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan are about the only shows I found to be worth seeing, and I managed to wait until I could watch them at home.

The rest has largely been dreck.

All that said, I have about about 300 DVDs, can't keep Missus J from buying them - cartoons for the grandkids, etc.

I DO own a bunch of concert DVDs, but that's the extent of it.

Just an FYI, This is no longer true. Only one marvel world. (well only one after Secret wars)

I appreciate all that, I think, but it reads like Greek.

I'm German-Irish.

This is not news Paul. I'm your typical comic book/scifi/manga reading, ff/kh/biohazard gaming, biomedical engineering, car nerd.

I really don't go to the movies much ether. I usually wait for it to come out on DVD.

Well I knew about the car part
