Nice to know this got enough funds to finish up.

Be nice if any aspiring filmmakers watched this and learned anything. Like, "This is how you create something that fails at every single level, at every single step along the way." :lol:

Buuuut, they won't learn sh*t, because that's how it always goes. :lol:

True, But some filmmakers will never learn, There are quite a few out there, Who do there own take on something, and ignore the source material completely, And what happens, those movies end up being in name only, and nothing to do with the source material.

[Leo656]

These guys who worked on it are still talking 20 years later like this pile would've been anything but an abortion. As if they got "screwed over" instead of the universe simply correcting itself. Like, Fate itself said, "Y'know, I usually don't get involved, but yeah, this is something I just can't allow," and then took every possible step to prevent it.

"People would still be talking about it today." Yeah, as the f*cking "Batman and Robin" of the Superman film franchise. We'd have never gotten another movie.

...Or maybe we would have, but seeing such a "different" take crash and burn (in public) would possibly have inspired them to do an ultra-literal take on the source material, red trunks and all, to try and correct things. Hard to say. Either way, we dodged a bullet. This is an interesting "What If?", but if the movie itself were a reality, it would have been a spectacular failure of biblical proportions, and only the people who worked on it, who were then and are now, every one of them, blindingly and stupefyingly full of their own sh*t, fail to see which decisions they made were horrible and why. Listening to them talk, I want to punch every one of them until they stop. :lol: "Stop it! Stop being stupid!" :lol:

At least the best part of Superman Lives, lives on in the Wild Wild West movie :lol:

[Leo656]

Haaaaaaaa gross. :lol:

This is what happens when you hire filmmakers, Who never read the comics. They then read those comics and see how ridiculous it is, and they do there own thing on it, Like try to make it realistic, And the costumes don't look anything like in the comics.

This is why this Superman Lives, Was so far removed from the original, That it would never get made, Everything about it was ridiculous from the start.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

They could make a sequel to this documentary because JJ Abrams was also going to make a Superman movie, and he had some insane ideas too.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, the Kryptonian Luthor thing was a bit of a stretch.

[ObiWanFan4life]

I've heard the director, Jon Schnepp talk about it on AMC Movie News. I'm looking forward to hearing the full story on what happened.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Just hearing Kevin Smith's stories make this documentary a must watch for me. I can't wait to see all the never before seen footage, and photos...concept art etc...and I know he had some parts from the script, animated for the documentary.

[Jephael]

Part of me wants to watch this documentary, but then another part of me wants to get a life.

[Jester]

Can't wait for this. It's gonna be epic.

But then again I'm a nerd with no life....:roll:

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

It's going to be like 90 minutes long...not really wasting too much of your life watching it...Time spent here might be more wasteful.

Holy ****.

Either you're trolling really hard right now, or you actually don't realize that you're statement applies to Bayturtles as well.

Why do you give one a fail and staunchly defend the other?

[shuriken]

^^ it begins...
But seriously both seem pretty terrible. Albeit they both could have been terrible and enjoyable.

[Commenter 42]

NO, no, I'm not picking a fight. I'm just gobsmacked by the hypocrisy.

As you were.

When this frightmare was announced, I was dead set against it. But I will absolutely watch this Doc. The levels of denial are unprecedented.

[Leo656]

I completely noticed it too! But I didn't wanna be "that guy". :lol:

[Commenter 42]

Pffffffft.

When am I NOT That guy

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Touche. I saw it, but bit my tongue on that one.

[Commenter 42]

Sooooo.......

I think it's pretty clear SOMEBODY's not being totally honest round these here parts.

Hmmmmmm.....
