Hold up.
Article writer, you are WRONG ...Hold up.<br /><br />Hold up.<br /><br />Article writer, you are WRONG about 70's Tales From the Crypt - you just haven't seen it in so many years, you watch it again and go "WTF. OMG. I can't believe how different it is watching it this year." It's one of the most mentally intense movies ever made - not to be quickly passed on.<br /><br />Basically it's 5 short stories in one film - a better way of making a movie of a comic book, than the two 90's movies which only had one long story per movie.<br /><br />Just look it up on YouTube alone and find the "Poetic Justice" segment. There's no blood, but it's the most mentally-piercing story. Except for the ending, the whole story could happen in real life, and all it is, is one man finding ways to pick on and hurt this old man, who hasn't even done anything to anyone. Watching it again, as an adult, you will forget the lack of action and find it to be one of the most difficult-to-forget-thinking-about movies.FlashGordonDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464799077716144753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-28882599665476036732011-12-15T12:02:20.824-08:002011-12-15T12:02:20.824-08:00Well...all right, goes on the list then...Well...all right, goes on the list then...Diacanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546351653341768549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-77312376642247577592011-12-15T12:01:49.471-08:002011-12-15T12:01:49.471-08:00Yeah, but they're all skinny little suckers.

Basically, Morgan Freeman is supposed to be (if I'm getting this right, as I avoided the movie like the plague) this character who, in the book, is basically Dr. Sivana/Lex Luthor, the kid they induct into the Fraternity is supposed to be the son of Deadshot/Deathstroke-guy, and Jolie's character is essentially Catwoman.<br /><br />MUCH BETTER. And the 'rogue assassin' guy, I figure, is supposed to be 'Mr. Rictus', the book's Joker.<br /><br />A fun read if you're in a black, amoral mood.Hyla Tracy IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316185162682308156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-59326881695234316362011-12-15T11:25:15.704-08:002011-12-15T11:25:15.704-08:00Aahhh....wow, totally not the thing I watched n th...Aahhh....wow, totally not the thing I watched n the TeeVee...<br /><br />It's like if they started with Cujo, and ended up with the CareBears movie...Diacanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546351653341768549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-28199759422267394662011-12-15T11:17:12.494-08:002011-12-15T11:17:12.494-08:00Did you ever read the 'Wanted' comic?

Dunno if you're a Mark Millar fan or not. <br /><br />In the comic they were supervillains, not assassins, who had secretly banded together and slain ALL of Earth's heroes decades ago, wiped EVERYONE'S memories of super-anything, except as comics and tv shows, and rule the world as a shadow government.<br /><br />Fuggin magic assassins . . . Although, you can see why they went that way with it instead of with supers. You'd have to be a HUGE nerd to cotton to who even half of the characters were supposed to be spoofs of.
