Apart from when it came to making Eyes Wide Shut.
Somebody really should have stepped in and told him that what he was doing really wasn't that good. (8+)

Saw that this morning

I read this today. Very sad

I made myself sit through that recently. 'Nuff said

WB eyeing Ben Affleck to direct 'Justice League' (and star?)

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118057612

Haven't seen any of his recent films, thoughts please, even if it is just who he could play

There's rumblings that Ben's reps have denied any association between him and this project.

Mark

So? He's totally playing Martian Manhunter

I'm half-expecting to see John Stewart as Green Lantern, thinking about it. It would certainly get around the Ryan Reynolds problem, even have the potential for tying into each other if handled right.

Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye character wasn't what he actually signed up to:

It's a good interview (needs to be read in context too, some media outlets are doing a Daily Fail with it) that also covers his other work.

David would like to see another X-Files movie

I find that show to be very of it's time now, like Blur and Alanis Morissette

Kevin Eastman talks about the Turtles delay (I fear he's kidding himself , as is JCVD!)

Is that because of all the pretenders to the throne that appeared after it?
There's a great X-Files film out there (no pun intended), I just wish Fox would have the balls to make it.

No, I just mean it reminds me of the 90's, the sort of thing where almost everybody you knew was watching it*. But what do you think riffed on it?

* I seem to remember giving up around the time Mulder found a container load of alien corpses in the hunt for his sister

I can only think of the one title off the top of my head, and that's Roswell.
I think I only saw a few eps of season one but it just struck me as a teen X-Files.

Mark

Never really watched them, but I've seen it's influence in everything from Millennium to Lost...

Millennium was a truly wonderful show. While it kinda-sorta dealt with a monster-of-the-week, it also had a much bigger theme (one that Bratty would probably approve of!).
It was never really an X-Files wannabe though. It certainly dealt with conspiracies but it never dealt with the mysteries of otherworldly means, it was almost always human evil that was at the root of the story. It was like the anti X-Files, if anything.
