I soured on these after the second one the third is just strange and the fourth I turned off after the dude lat pulldowned a freaking airplane. Just stop making them and reboot already and let Romero write it[/quote]
Romero was actually the very first choice to direct Resident Evil. The details surrounding his departure were hazy, but I don’t think he left the project because of his demands: Romero just isn’t that type of guy.
I vaguely recall some mental patient dribble press release about him not being "commercial enough " to direct a big budget movie in a genre he almost single-handedly created.
There’s even a draft of a Romero-penned Resident Evil script out there somewhere…[/quote]
I know and I think they must have taken some of the elements from his script when they did the first one. He also did this Japanese commercial for Resident Evil 2

Not zombies they’re the “infected”. Romero zombies are dead these people are still alive. But yes great film and the sequal is decent which hardly ever happens when it goes from indie to big budget, I hope they do a 28 month later like they promised

3D sucks. It ruins most of these movies. I am not sure why people still go. It fucked Thor so badly when he flew it looked like a cardboard cutout.
The next step will likely be full immersion using glasses but more of a personal “IMAX” effect like those glasses you can watch tv through.[/quote]
They say that part of the problem is the number of frames per second. The industry standard is 24 frames per second, but Peter Jackson is going to shoot The Hobbit using 48 frames per second:
That will supposedly make an incredible difference to the quality and smoothness of the 3D.
I hope they redesign the 3D glasses soon. The frames alone destroy any hope of an immersive viewing experience.

If you knew that, why did you want Romero to write a reboot when he’d already been fired from the project once before? I’ve read the Romero script. It was nothing like Paul W.S. Anderson’s version. If anything it was closer to Land of the Dead, with all the characters from the original game making an appearance. Any common elements were taken from the game itself (e.g. zombie dogs).

I was basically saying he shouldn’t have been fired and he should be hired to do a reboot
My impression? I like it. I’m not a fan of the overly-textured costume thing that started with Spider-Man, but that’s a minor quibble. As an artist? I’d say they should have trimmed his hair more: makes the head look smaller and the body bigger. But those are really minor quibbles. Cavill was a scrawny pretty-boy. They’ve either done a good job making a muscle suit look natural, or he really busted ass to add some meat for the role.
They look like they’re doing a “takes no shit” kind of Superman… and it’s about fucking time. I’d hoped that Nolan and Snyder, given their track records, could do something amazing. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
For extra geek glee points? Check the S. They’re using the crest of the Golden Age/WW II/Earth II Superman. My favourite version. Which means there’ll be t-shirts when the movie comes out. Which means I’m gettin’ me a new training shirt.
Fuck yeah. I’m looking forward to this flick.
Also, Avengers apparently wrapped up filming a few weeks back. They’re in the editing room now.
