Don't forget about eBay. Paying ridiculous prices only enhances the value of the slip.

Exactly, which is why I was pointing out what I see as some interesting parallels between the two. No conclusions are being drawn. I just wonder what Gunn is up to.

No email here. I placed my order on 1/28 and it hasn't shipped yet.

What I find most striking about the first look image released by Gunn is how stylistically similar it is to Snyder's vision of Supes. The environment is dark, it's nighttime, the sky is overcast, and there's some apparently alien threat looming above Metropolis. Superman is not smiling, his brow...

In Man of Steel, Martha definitely did not make the costume. It was on the buried Kryptonian ship and was apparently fabricated by Jor-El's avatar after Supes activated the onboard systems. It came from Krypton.

Captain America's costume didn't need to look "otherworldly," which is partly, I think, where some of the design decisions for Superman's costume both here and in Man of Steel are rooted. He is an alien, after all.

Wow, the new Pro is tempting...

ANOTHER tragic loss! I've loved Mr. Hill's work in everything I've seen him in, and he was remarkable as King Theoden. Peace, Mr. Hill...

A single post by an account that was just opened here yesterday, and that was his/her first and only post. I'll take it with a HUGE grain of salt and won't start worrying until we start seeing similar opinions cropping up elsewhere. It boggles the mind to think that they'd go to all this trouble...

I screened this Blu last night and holy cow, what a beautiful presentation of a fantastic film! It looks superb. Man, do I love VistaVision!

The jury is still out.

Like you, I don't think that any real new ground will be broken here. I think the main attraction of this documentary is the nostalgia factor and the fact that so many of the principal actors and production team came together to make it happen. Except for Weaver, who's absence leaves a huge hole...

Maybe doing the voice work and mo-cap performance to portray a teenage Na'vi pushed her (or Cameron) over the edge. ;)
