"NO NO NO!! That's Ozzy Osbourne! Not [insert name of Iron Man]"
HAH!!!
I'm not incredibly familiar with the source text, but I'm still psyched to see the movie (Iron Man, I mean).
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
couldn't come back for Spidey 4?
Actually, given the way the comic has dealt with bringing Venom back, it could be done.
Though not by Sam Raimi.
Raimi hated Venom and didn't want him in the movie AT ALL
That's insane troll logic, because Venom is TEH AWESOME.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Is there going to be a Spidey 4? Anyone heard anything?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, but that's true for just about any comic book character who's ever died in any way, isn't it?

Because books.
Jess, Tilda Swinton made me swoooon in Constantine. Like, dizzy and a little breathless.
And Keanu ... I don't know what it is, but I can watch him in just about anything. And tortured and smoking in a white shirt and tie? Kinks. Bulletproof.

Hell, I'm still expecting them to somehow bring back Barry Allen (if they haven't already).

I believe there is an edict at DC Comics against bringing back Barry Allen except in Elseworlds-type stories.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Miracleman - Spidey 3 took $890m at the box office, so probably close to 2 billion or so with DVD so far. It's absolutely got sequel numbers, but I'm sure there will be agents bartering to hell for more money for all involved.

I'm torn by Superman Returns. I generally liked it, and *wanted* to love it (still want to), but the "That's a LOT of water displacement" thing bothers me so badly every time, I can't not think the movie is damaged.

BWAH! Sean...no wonder you and I get along.
I think it's perfectly acceptable that a race of humanoids, nominally indistinguishable from ourselves, evolved entirely separately on a planet not at all like ours in a distant part of the galaxy and when placed under the influence of our yellow sun will gain incredible god-like abilities...but I will still go ape-shit at things like "Okay, but doesn't the resultant tidal wave of either the Krypto-continent's creation or its precipitous removal still wipe out Metropolis?"
Still, compared to the first movie's "Superman picks up California and somehow fixes all the earthquake damage and that's before he spins the planet backwards and not only doesn't tear the planet apart but reverses time..." I was willing to give him hoisting New Krypton into orbit without major catastrophe a pass.
