Uncle Ben was alive for some bits of the last one. That invalidates your entire post (somehow)

Putting aside my feelings about the movie reboot; I have to agree that old-school Peter was really emo. I remember rereading the Lee/Ditko era post-Columbine and Peter really comes across as a guy who could snap at any time.

Some more to ponder about, and possibly get excited about. Maybe...put on the list of things to watch... In 1945, on a secret base built in the Antarctic, Nazis launched spaceships to establish the military base Schwarze Sonne on the dark side of the Moon. They built a powerful invasion fleet in order to take over the Earth once the time was right.Now it’s 2018, the Nazi invasion is on its way and the world is goose-stepping towards its doom. Iron SkyOnly the American Navy can save us now. Excuse me whilst I roll my eyes.... Battleship. The MIB duo of Agent Jay (Will Smith) and Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) are back in action. When the world is threatened by an evil alien, Agent Jay travels back in time to 1969, where he teams up with the younger Agent Kay to stop an evil villain named Boris (Jemaine Clement) from destroying the world in the future. Emma Thompson will play take-charge MIB operative Agent Oh, who is monitoring a prison breakout. MIBIII. Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, secretly battles with the undead as an ax-throwing, highly trained vampire assassin. Vampires are presented as the real conflict behind the Civil War. Excuse the WTF, but WTF? Sounds weird, intriguing, downright odd. *shrug* Abraham Lincoln, Vampire hunter

I'm going to go ahead and say that, if this is going to turn into talk on all films, that it should be redirected to Feature Presentation.

Well, its about superhero/fantasy/sci-fi related films specifically, and possibly using ideas for games, but I guess threads do tend to get morphed into something else over time.

My excitement/interest just ramped up for John Carter of Mars. Normal guy from Earth wakes up on mars. 4 armed aliens, sword/science/sorcery? mixed, battles, aliens, spaceships, barbarians, monsters, explosions, scantily clad people (for those that like that sort of thing) . Aside from looking MUCH better than the first trailer, this has a good premise for an RPG. This film officially moved into my 'interest' zone after watching the trailer.

I just saw Ghost Rider. It was so bad.

Hmmm. I guess you just kind of confirmed what many probably expected anyway (the whole 'Nick Cage is lame' thing). Some comic books/sci fi novels just don't translate well or they make an absolute pigs ear of the film (Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, some of the Superman films and pre Batman Begins films etc... ). I guess it's easier to list the good stuff than having an arm long list of the bad I plan to see John Carter (no longer 'of mars' apparently, because 'that puts audiences off' according to Disney marketing 'bots) anyway. There's so little sci-fi comes out these days that I hungrily devour whatever crap comes out. Even if it tastes a bit funny. Makes an interesting game premise - earth people transported to Mars (somehow) where they have superhuman strength under the lighter gravity, multiplied by 10 or more over what they have on Earth. Bad guys ruling slaves, slaves revolt, Earth people get stuck in to help against overwhelming odds. Or something like that.
