Black Widow, I understand, is getting her own film, which I welcome. The Vision and Wanda...agreed. I feel like they were introduced and then pushed aside. But not as badly as Hawkeye...


Was it The Simpsons who showed a credit that read something like "Hawkeye's stunt arranger (Unused)"?

Made me laugh.

  • I agree less is more when it comes to the Joker. To be fair to the Killing Joke, it is unclear whether the origin shown in the flashbacks actually happened. The Joker himself in the story says he remembers things differently every time, and so the flashbacks we saw may not be from a reliable narrator.



    Maybe he completely blocked his origin from his memories, or maybe, like in Dark Knight, the origin story fits the narrative. His argument is that the difference between sanity and insanity is one really bad day, so the flashbacks we saw may or may not be what he created for himself while trying to force Commissioner Gordon to go insane.


    The beauty of the Joker is that he represents the type of villain Batman can never bring to justice, even when caught, and having no backstory indicates that this could be any villain, thus feeding on Batman's own insanity (doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, etc).

    Which is why I would want Spidey's first villain (Uncle Ben's killer) to remain free and unknown, much like Bruce Wayne's parents' killer. It's that one thing that will forever be out of their reach, but they never realize it.

    The final Joker trailer looks promising, if probably giving a bit too much away. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Joaquin Phoenix looks perfectly cast and i'm sure he'll give a great performance. Just hope the script is a decent one.

    I also like the trailer music. Is it stock?

    Its nice to see a comic book character film with little or no CGI but my original criticisms remain. He looks like an evil clown instead of the Joker. Also tire of these villain back stories where they were bullied and abused and that's what sent them over the edge.

    I have a lot of complaints about these superhero/bad guys films. I'll just widdle all that away because I want to do other things and just make a generic statement: There's nothing in that Joker trailer whatsoever that says "Watch me".

    Same for me. I wonder if maybe there's a nod to The King of Comedy with DeNiro.
    The previews I've watched seem to be about the same as the usual "This is likely Whoever's big shot at an Oscar that he/she should have won for Whatever, so hype it to the maximum" type trailer.

    My ears did perk up somewhat when I thought I might have heard a small snippet of the song Smile interpolated, but I'm not sure that I heard correctly.

    ANGELAJIMMENEZ:

    "Thanks for your recommendation.".......and thanks for reviving my post that's three years old.

    I will be sure to relay your insightful comments to everyone I know so they also will be enlightened as to who you are and what you do.

    However, I think it's odd that in your posts on other forums, you have stated that you hate blacks, Jews, gays and HISPANICS. Isn't that self-loathing?......or is "Angelajimmenez" not your real name and writing essay papers is not your real occupation?

    Also, isn't writing essays for other people and getting paid for it a dishonest and unethical? I would be careful because someone might report you to the local district attorney for prosecution----if you find one that's not dishonest and unethical.

    A bottomless pit of mystery is our Angela.

    But the important question is... where does she stand on Zimmer?
    I fear that long before we find out, she will have moved on to greener pastures.

    Awesome bate and switch at the end, and I was all in until the very last sentence.

    dragon: that user is a spambot. Basically they skim the thread to pick out nouns or topics, make some nonsense generic post about it to stay on topic and then dump a malicious URL somewhere in the mix in the hopes someone will click on it.

    LEHAH:

    Is might be a spammer, but I think it's odd if it is a spammer that they almost always pick and resurrect my old posts from the Movie/TV news as opposed to many other FSM members who post.

    Also, several days after Thor and I discussed the last spam vs. troll post, I received the following email:

    "Hi, is this James by any chance?

    Thanks!
    Holly"


    In about 25 years of email, this is the only personal email I have received from someone I didn't know. Also, "James" may refer to my James Bond movie trivia that I post every Monday and the supposed troll posted a number of times on another forum that his favorite novels are the James Bond novels. When I was on the college forum, I emailed other members, some of whom know the troll, so I assumed long ago that he got my email address from them. Some FSM members have emailed me, and they know I have a relatively unique email address, so it would be a big coincidence if "Holly" found my email address by accident. Either way, I reported the email and info on the suspected troll to Yahoo.

    As I've posted on FSM earlier, the supposed troll used to personally attack people on college forums everyday all day for over nine years using many names, including referring to blacks as monkeys, calling people sobs and douchebags, etc.---until Fox Sports, which owned the college forums at the time, banned him nationally under his most popular name. But he continued to troll under his other names. He kept a low profile after he was outed on one college forum---and he got a government job. In today's current political climate, I don't think the average taxpayer would approve of a government employee who posted for nine years that that he thinks blacks are monkeys, and he likes to masturbate to photos of young girls.

    UPDATE:

    On May 26, I received an email from the city of Asheville, North Carolina promoting it for tourism. I did not sign up to receive email from Asheville, and I have never received an email from any other city. Also, the suspected troll I have mentioned on FSM was born a few miles from Asheville.

    On May 27, supposed-spambot Angelajimmenez posted on FSM (now deleted).

    On May 19, I received the previously-mentioned email asking if my names is "James". As I noted earlier, I post the James Bond Movie Trivia almost every Monday. The troll has mentioned on another forum that the James Bond novels are his favorite novels.

    There have been other times when the troll/spambot would post on one of my Movie/tV News threads, and then I receive strange emails the same day.

    Maybe it really is a spambot, but an unsolicited email from Asheville where the troll was born a few miles away the day before Angelajimmenez posted on my Movie/TV News tends to support my theory that a troll is involved and not a spambot.

    I called Yahoo and reported the Asheville email, like the "James" email, and included relevant information about the troll and his identity.
