What is this "think" you speak of in regards to these films?

Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down are tea partier porn. "This is what will happen if we don't keep our military overfunded in the trillions -- now get rid of Social Security already." I already saw the Left Behind movies, so I think I'm good.

Meh.

You elect ONE black president and suddenly everyone starts fantasizing about destroying the White House.

@2, I was thinking the same thing: Teabagger porn. Ugh.

I'd love to eat Channing Tatum for lunch, but that movie looks too stupid for words. No thanks.

Forget movies. Cable/netflix series is the place to go for intelligent dialogue, character development AND eye candy.

So Wolverine accepts the offer to lose his superpowers and then must struggle to regain them while learning a heartwarming and Very Important Lesson about accepting yourself for who you are.

The Wolverine movie looks like it's loosely based on the Frank Miller miniseries from the 1980s. (I wonder what those issues are worth today.)

@5: INDEPENDENCE DAY IS A PIECE OF GREAT AMERICAN ART, YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

(I have an irrational soft spot for his "shit blows up" movies)

@9 exactly. It's the original wolverine stand alone. Claremont and Miller. It's a great story, and I'm sure they will fuck it up. I'll still go see it though, and I hope that it turns out good. Maybe it will raise the prices on the books and I can finally sell them for a tidy profit.

@11

Claremont's work was extremely verbose--every time Cyclops took off his visor, there was a tone of exposition about how he had to keep his eyes tightly shut or, etc., etc. By contrast, Miller's Daredevil often let the art do the story telling. What I recall is that the Wolverine miniseries took on more of a Miller style of story telling, and after that, at times, Claremont's X-Men also let the art do its stuff. When Storm dueled Callisto for leadership of the Morlocks, the fight was entirely visual; earlier Claremont would have had tons of thought balloons around Storm with unnecessary observations like, "Oh, if I had reacted just a half-second more slowly, she would have severed my carotid artery!" and "Here's my chance to win this duel!"

@15: We already know you are a racist, so I do not see what you hope to accomplish with whatever that is.

I don't understand - how or WHY would you rate a trailer? That's like trying to decide of you like a song by only listening to a few notes or seconds of it... unless, there's a such thing as the quality of the actual trailer - regardless of how good or bad the movie is.
