Which Superman Movie do you prefer?

Ok lets put this in perspective, we all know the story of superman right. Well this isn't about that, this is about comparing movies. I want to compare Superman The Movie which came out in 1978 to Superman Returns which came out this year. Now I know Superman Returns just came out in theaters but maybe a good number of people have seen it by now, myself included. But I was just wondering how many of you prefer over the other.





Now when you make your choice I would like a good reason on why you picked the choice that you did. Personally I liked Superman the Movie that stared Christopher Reeve over Superman Returns that stars Brendon Routh, now I'm not saying Superman Returns is a bad movie far from it I liked it very much.





anyway here are your options





Superman The Movie (1978) vs. Superman Returns (2006)

Which Superman Movie do you prefer?
OK, Superman movies will never be known for the quality of the acting. So that basically leaves us with story and effects. The original "Superman" had a better story as it got to set up the whole background. Without the background there wasn't much left of the story. Besides, like you said, we all knew the story already anyway. With that said, the newer version "Superman Returns" is a much better and more exciting movie.
Reply:that's not a good thing to say, the first superman movies had very good acting in them. can't say the same for SR though, the FX of him using x ray vision was just not on the ball for me. i like the old way of showing x ray vision. Report It

Reply:the new one had green and blue water and sky. what's up with making the water and sky green and blue or at least cyan? Report It

Reply:Superman The Movie (1978). No one beats Christopher Reeves as Superman,but I can say this new kid does know how to sound like him in the movie.
Reply:I was not there in 1978 , But I have seen the movie on DVD , I have also seen 2006 Movie. In sence of special effects , The 2006 One is hell lot of better. Otherwise The First one is better.
Reply:The one where all the actors who take on the role of Superman always meet an untimely end. It's due out in 2010.
Reply:Superman 1978





was 3 years old and got hooked eversince





Christopher Reeve was the perfect Superman. Brandon Routh looks the part but he should have given more life to the character of Clark Kent.





Christopher made his Clark Kent so goofy and awkward to the point that no one would notice he is in fact Superman, despite the uncanny vital statistics the two characters shared. Saw Superman Returns last night and there was little difference in the portrayal of Superman and Clark Kent by Brandon. At least, Bryan Singer did a damn good job resurrecting the franchise.
Reply:superman 1 and 2 with christopher reeves!
Reply:Superman: The Movie (and #2). Christopher Reeve will ALWAYS be Superman!!!
Reply:Sure, the comparisons need to be made, but we need to keep in mind that Superman The Movie came out in 1978! At the time, it was one of the most (if not the most) groundbreaking film ever made. The visual effects may seem a bit simplistic today, but at the time - people were wowed back then in a major way! They did what they could with what they had...without CGI.





Superman Returns has a good script, I was actually surprised.


Let's discuss the acting....We won't get into the Marlon Brando thing, 'cause he's sort of in both. Right...anyways...let's move on. Gene Hackman brought a comic element to the role of Lex Luther that Kevin Spacey lacks...don't get me wrong,Spacey is an incredible actor, I just like Gene Hackman's take of the charactor more.


Margo Kidder may be a looney these days, but back in '78, she was da bomb! Which brings us to Brendon Routh vs. Christopher Reeve. I gotta say Routh did a good job, but I think its pretty clear who the REAL Superman is...long live the original. Nonetheless, I am happy to see Superman Returns on the big screen, and it got a much deserved face-lift.

I am having a movie night and I am inviting 6 people 3 girls and 3 guys. But one of the guys hasa girlfriend and I was wondering if it is wrong to invite him to my movie night and I want to though.... And I was wondering what good movies there are that we can watch. And I want them to be for both guy and girl ? Help I need help with my 2 question. thanks!!!

MoViE nIgHt.................?
Is this a guy you like? Why wouldn't you want him to bring his g/f along?





If this is just a friend, I say invite him - but don't keep him from bringing his girlfriend if he wants.





As far as movies - comedies and action. Don't go drama/chick flicks or the guys may end up falling asleep on you! lol
Reply:Go see stomp tha yard that junks hot. That is all.
Reply:well you can invite him, but its his call if he wants to join you. are you inviting him over as your 'date'... bc if he does come over and kinda cheats on his gf with you then he just might be a cheater and you wouldnt want a boy like that either.


regardless, id stick with comedies; taladega nights, dodgeball, wedding crashers.. movies like that
Reply:Saw 3 if you're into horror.

Invite the boy, if he is your friend. he might be hurt if you don't invite him
Reply:invite him AND his girlfriend
Reply:maybe it would be nice to invite the gf too, but other weise dont worry about it. i would get The Island, its a really good movie good for guy and girl, The Wedding Crashers for a good laugh, Family Stone if you want a more calm movie, The Upside of Anger if you want a more one toned movie.
Reply:Well, I'm assuming that you don't like this guy's girlfriend?


If you like him then it's probably not a good idea b/c the possibility of him cheating on his girlfriend is NEVER good for anyone. If he's just a friend and you're not interested in him then it's probably okay but you should make sure there's no pressure on this guy and a girl, as in don't have all couples and this guy sitting there feeling akward b/c he has a girlfriend. Unless you're worried about his girlfriend getting mad at you, go ahead and invite him. Afterall, it is HIS decision to come or not and what happens when he's there. Don't worry too much about it. Comedies are always safe for both guys %26amp; girls. My favorites are Grandmas's Boy, Clerks II, etc. but exciting/action movies would be good b/c generally they can at least hold a girl's attention and guy's always like those, beware of scary movies b/c that's when cuddling happens and you don't anyone to feel weird b/c they're left out or ... not left out but rather creeped out!


Movie with creepy cab driver?

It's bugging me...there is a movie where the main character(s) get into a cab, and the driver is a creepy looking red head- he's evil looking and his face is pretty "warped". I thought it was carrot top (made to be even uglier) but it wasn't. The driver only appears 2x in this movie...once was in the streets. Both times he looks almost demonic. Does anyone know the movie? It was maybe 5-6 years ago? I think the movie had kind of a creepy feeling over all and the driver just enhanced it. Not sure…this is all I remember!

HAVE FUN!
Reply:I think its appropriate to invite your couple friends. It might be relaxing for the single people to use them if they are uncomfortable around the one youre hooking them up with. As for the movie you should do a comedy(not a romantic comedy it's rough on the guys), nothing too serious or it may bring up contraversial conversation. Super Troopers, Waiting, or Scary Movie 4. Something new might not allow people to talk.
Reply:The guy with the girlfriend should NOT be invited--unless his girlfriend is welcome, too. If you are attempting to "hook-up" with him yourself, you're actually using your friends to do so.





Think about this...if he was YOUR boyfriend, how would you feel if he went to a party of any kind without you? And...if he accepted your invitation and came to the party, is he REALLY the kind of boyfriend you want for yourself?





Choices for movies are a bit easier. I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions, but "Taladega Nights (The ballad of Ricky Bobby)" was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.
Reply:It's not wrong to invite that guy first off. Well A good movie for biys and girls would be Clerks 2 (that movie is so ******** funny) and Maybe Little Man.


A good horror movie?

Can anyone suggest a good horror movie? I'll tell you what I like and have seen and what I don't like...





Loved the thing, an american werewolf in london, bram stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, The Fly, The Howling. Liked the underworld movies, Blade I %26amp; II, Hellboy, invasion of the body snatchers.





I dislike movies like SAW, hostel, devil's rejects and such.





I like zombie movies and japanese horror movies (but I've seen tooo many of these), but if you've seen one you've seen all, so unless it's super original and cool, don't mention it.





Also, I don't like the hide and seek, and see no evil type...





I like when the movie relies more on story and/or action than in violence or gore and blood.





Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

A good horror movie?
seriously skip the remake of the Haunting... it takes camp and cheese to unsatisfying levels. The original one is by far the way to go.


You say you like Japanese horror... how about Korean? I just watched "The Host" today and bad dubbing aside, it was a fairly decent flick with a few jump moments. It is a monster movie and features a little gore... but it is more character driven than shock fest.

Rear Window is pretty good too - though I'm not sure I'd classify it as a true horror flick. There's a gray area between horror and thriller. You really can't go wrong with Hitchcock.
Reply:It's not really a true horror, but I like "The Hunger". It has David Bowie, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in it. Plus it has fantastic music. Slow moving, but very good.
Reply:The original "The Haunting". Someone mentioned the 1999 remake. Forget it and go get the black-and-white original, with Julie Harris.


I first saw this on TV, over two nights, with commercial interruptions, and I was still scared silly! There is no blood, and no special effects. It's all in the mind, and they never show what's causing the haunting. And that's the reason it works -- because whatever any horror movie shows you, it's never as powerful as what your imagination can conjure up.


Based on the book by Shirley Jackson, this is truly the benchmark by which all other "horror" movies are rated.





Forget slasher movies -- they leave nothing to the imagination and are not scary, only nauseating. Zombie movies speak to our fears, but in the end it's still just some rotting bodies. We all die in the end, and there's no horror in that.
Reply:ok...you like underworld and blade but you don't like Saw? i understand that they are completely different types of movies,but i mean come on....the Saw movies may suck, but i'm pretty sure that they are much better than underworld and blade.


but anyway, theres always Resident Evil:Extinction, thats coming out soon...it looks like a really sucky movie but it looks like its gonna have a lot of action.(hey,it has zombies in it...who doesn't like zombies?)


there really isn't any horror movie today that is good. Maybe you should try fantasy or something else. Start with Pan's Labyrinth,that movie has a great story and it has a really dark tone.
Reply:Try An American Haunting. It is the true story of John Bell and his family. It is the only documented case where a spirit causes the death of a man. It stars Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. It isn't bloody or gory, but certainly scary. Andrew Jackson was reported to say that he would rather take on the entire English Fleet rather than stay one night in the Bell house.
Reply:My favorite Zombie movies old:





1) Dawn of the Dead -1978 original considered the best one by most die hard fans


2) Night of the Living Dead- 1968 original in black and white


3)Day of the Dead- Early 1985- Romero (the director of all three) stated this was his favorite one. I agree





Out of the New zombie movies and remakes





1) 28 weeks Later- 2007- English director Danny Boyle did a very good job. Might want to see the first one titled "28 days later" done in 2003


2) Dawn of the Dead -remake 2004. A few different twists and homages to the original


3) Day of the Dead is to remade sometime in 2007





You will probably like the newer ones because they are more action movies. The older ones consist more of character development and the basic theme that humans can't coexist together. They are a little more gorier too.

The Haunting (1999)





A remake of the classic 1963 movie "The Haunting" about a team of paranormal experts who look into strange occurrences in an ill-fated house. Through the course of the night some will unravel, some will question, and all will fight for their lives as the house fights back. Written by PofRules





Eleanor Lance is called to meet at Hill House for Dr. Marrow's sleeping disorder studies, along with three other people. The owners of the house tell them that no one will be around and that they won't be able to hear them. The first night they all sit around and talk. Eleanor tells them that her sleeping disorder is different because she can sleep it is just that she wakes up because she thinks her dead mom is still living with her. Well that isn't the case now because she is woken one night in the Hill House bedroom by talking childrens voices asking her for her help. At first scared by the voice, she learns to avoid them. Later, the group finds out that Dr. Marrow is not using them for sleeping disorders but a test in fear. The fear is first thought to be fake but eventually turns real when loud noises are heard and objects start to move. Now they must try an escape the house before they are all killed.

Is this the future of the movie industry?

In response to rampant movie pirating, the movie industry might begin releasing their movies at the theater and on DVD simultaneously. Think about it, as soon as you walk out of the movie theater you can go up to the counter and purchase it on DVD. Their logic is that people that go to movies will always want to go for the "movie-going experience" and not necessarily for the seeing the movie itself. And since movie goers while be pumped after watching it at the theatre, they're twice as likely to purchase the movie on DVD there at the theatre than after months of waiting. So what do you guys think? Do you think it'll work?

Is this the future of the movie industry?
One of the problems that the movie industry faces these days are not only pirating but the fact that they can not offer much of a different movie going experience than one could have at home. Back in the 1950's, the movie industry was faced with another new dilemma, the television. Many thought this would be the end of movie theaters. Then, they came out with 2.35:1 aspect ratio and made movie going a much different and better experience than television could offer. However, in this digital age and with enough money, one could have a very similar experience at home minus the crying babies, the obnoxious children, those people that LOVE to chat during a movie, cellphones... etc, etc.


Point being, unless the movie industry can create an experience better than what one could have at home, ticket sales will continue to decrease (overall ticket sales not including the blockbusters that are bolstered by inflation anyways)


Another way to get patrons to go to the theaters would be to increase the time between theater and DVD release like they had in the 80's. With some tapes, they even jacked up the price of purchase for a couple of years which required people to rent them instead.


I imagine eventually they will release it directly over the net (which is being done with DVD releases very soon anyways via iTunes, I believe). This way they could already copyright the encodement and have less problems with piracy.
Reply:I think I would try to get into the lobby and just buy the dvd, rather than go see the movie then spend more money just to take it home.
Reply:They would have to charge more then $20 to $30 for the DVD initially for people to still see it at the movies, but I would rather pay $30 and take it home and not hear people taking and I wouldnt have to pay $20 for popcorn, candy, and a soda. If you want to own it initially it should be $100. And we'll be downloading even more.
Reply:Thye better do something quick before th ewhole thing tanks because I for one, am tired of putting up with rude, smelly, loud eating, belching, movie commentators!!! WHO KICK THE BACK OF MY CHAIR.
Reply:That's not a bad idea. It would bring in more money all around.
Reply:It would certainly be worth test-marketing to see what would happen; I think the long-term effect of such a strategy is that you'd only see the big-budget special effects movies at the theatres, and since in reality there are a small percentage of those, you'd see a lot of movie houses (and the megaplex) go the way of the Dodo.
Reply:Yes I Can see it happening but can you imagine the embarrassment if only a few DVDs are sold after the premiere of an anticipated film?

Upcomiing Boxing Movie in 2008 ??

I seem to recall reading somewhere that a Movie is scheduled to be made this year on Sugar Ray Robinson ?? ----- Has anyone heard any specifics re: this film ?? ------ Is it a Studio Movie, HBO Movie or made for TV Movie ???----- Is this just a rumor or is a Movie on The Sugarman scheduled to be produced this year ???

Upcomiing Boxing Movie in 2008 ??
I wish I could answer your question,but I've just heard rumors too.I heard that a screenplay was written and purchased,that's all.Production has started on "The Fighter",starring Mark Wahlberg as Lowell's own Mickey Ward.Also Ving Rhames is set to play Sonny Liston in a bio-epic.You can always check out 1998's "Sugar Ray Robinson:The Bright Lights and Dark Shadows of a champion" documentary if you havn't seen it yet.Also HBO has produced a documentary on Joe Louis due to be brodcast this year.***edit*** I remembered where I saw that a script was written and bought (december's Boxing Digest ).The movie will be called The Life of Sugar RayRobinson.It is scheduled for pre-production in march of this year and release in early 2009.A director has yet to be named.Negotions are underway to distribute the film w/ two major studios.Michel Shane and partner Anthony Romano ( I,Robot and Catch Me If You Can ) are onboard to executive produce.

Reply:ok...ok.....first off Nick cage was not in Fast times.....Nicholas Coppola was however.....Later on Nicholas Coppola changed his name to Nicholas Cage, because he wanted to do the "Hollywood" thing on his own, with-out the help or name of his Uncle: Frances Ford Coppola. but as for who was oscar winning i think 1. Sean 2. Nick 3. Forest.....oh is there another one? but i can't think of it.......hope these answers are better than the last.

Anybody outhere know this movie??

Name of this movie?
It sounds like "In Like Flint" (1967). An action/comedy about a former spy whose released from prison and recruited again by his old spy pals. I'm sure this is the movie you're asking about. I remember the scenes on the train and at the military base. I've attached a link.


Movie Question.?

I saw a movie a long time ago it was on lifetime. It wasa about a little boy i think and he had an immaginary friend and the mom thogut it was cutte. but then the immaginary friend stasrted telling him to kill people i think. and all these people were dead. and the moms friend came up dead. and at the end of the movie the little boys immaginary friend turned out to be a real man and he was living in a secret part of the house that the mom didnt even know was there. and you can get to it through the little boys closet. this is a real movie i think.Does anyone know what movie im talking about or the name of it? it has been bugging me for a long time.

Movie Question.?
It may have been Man or Stranger in the Attic. They both are movies.
Reply:It sounds like Hide and Seek with Robert De Niro although I think thats fairly recent. Unless it was a remake.
Reply:that sounds scary!!! does any1 know what it is?? i want to watch it
Reply:I'm not sure but you can go on google and look up scary movies and it might be in there.

Burning "WIndows movie" files to DVD/ what kind of format are the movies?

How do you burn 'windows movie' to dvd?





Do you need a special program? Also I've been getting a lot of flicks from btjunkie lately and a lot of them come in "windows movie" file format (at least I assume that's what it is I can never find the extension (I even look under properties and it has a name like:


Title.title.example.example.[TC].[KANE... W.HQ ToRrEnTs.C oM].





I guess my question consists of two parts:


1) where do I find out what kind of format a downloaded movie is in, if it doesn't obviously say?


and


2)if it's in windows movie file how do I burn it to a dvd that doesn't need to be played on a pc app. esp. the ones that come in two separate parts.?





thanks for any advice!

Burning "WIndows movie" files to DVD/ what kind of format are the movies?
try to use AVS Video Converter. This program supports lots of video formats and it can burn DVD for stand alone dvd players.





http://dvdvideosoft.com/avs-video-tools....





Here is the list of supported formats from their site: *.avi, *.divx, *.xvid, *.ifo, *.vob, *.vro, *.mp4, *.m4v, *.h263, *.h264, *.mpeg, *.mpg, *.m1v, *.m2v, *.dat, *.mpe, *.3gp, *.3g2, *.3gpp, *.3gp2, *.wmv, *.wmv-hd, *.asf, *.mov, *.qt, *.rm, *.rmvb, *.swf, *.dvr-ms, *.dv, *.dif, *.flv, *.mkv, *.ogm.





I hope it will open your downloaded files too.





By the way check one thing to see your files extension:





run Explorer (for example click My Computer on the Desktop)


go Tools menu %26gt; Folder Options...


then the View tab


find "Hide extensions for known file types"


uncheck it


click OK





Now Explorer has to show all files extentions.
Reply:If you want to play a movie on a DVD player, it must be burned with a program that creates a "video" (or "movie") DVD (as opposed to a data DVD). Nero and Roxio are just two of MANY programs that do this. Windows XP does NOT come with such a program, unless your computer maker added it (which is possible, if they included a DVD burner).





To answer your other questions, the easiest way to determine format is to look at the extension (.mpg, .avi, .wmv, etc.). While not conclusive, this'll give you a good start. From there, there might a specific CODEX (like DIVX) that's been used. Short of having a program that reads the "header" info from the file, it's not trivial for most people to figure this out.





My suggestion is to get a good cross-converting program and DVD burner. Then, you won't have to worry so much about it.
Reply:usually the type of file is in its properties, you right click on its icon, click on properties and it should say. As for your other question, when you burn a movie, whether it be avi, wmv, it is usually burned as a mpeg, as that is viewable by most DVD players. The software should automatically do it for you. I have nero 6 and it does it for me. Hope this helps.

Movie Question!!! Mid to late 70's maybe very early 80's. About a young blond white boy who lives in Africa

and befriends a young African boy %26amp; they are best of friends. For fun they get inside a old tire %26amp; push it down a hill. They do it many times then the African boy is killed. About the saddest movie I can remember. Also while I am on the subject there was another very sad movie about a young boy %26amp; his retarded adult friend who liked to play baseball with him yet all the other boys made fun of him so he turned his back on his retarded friend. That was a very sad movie also. It was done a little latter than the previous question about the boys in Africa. It came out in the late 70's early 80's. I would appreciate any light on these movies they have haunted me for many moons. I would like to see what impact they would have now. Thank You For Your FeedBack.

Movie from my childhood - can you help me remember it?

Years, and YEARS ago I watched a movie in elementary school (I'm in my 30s now so it was a while ago). I think it was a Disney movie but I'm not sure. I can only remember that there was a young boy and a young girl living in a dark mysterious house in the woods, it was a sort of 'scary kids' movie and there was a ghost of some sort who wrote them messages in the fog on the windows. There was also a scary old woman (or man, I'm not sure) who everyone in town was afraid of but the kids ended up getting to know her and she taught them about prisms from the rainbows the light made on her wall. I know it sounds crazy, lol - but this has been driving me insane for days now. Anyone else remember anything about this movie?

Movie from my childhood - can you help me remember it?
I do remember a prism scene in Pollyanna (Disney, 1960) where she and Jimmy go into a crotchity old woman's home and she teaches them about prisms.





Other than that I can't put my finger on the ghost portion of it. The only other movies I remember would be Escape to Witch Mountain (Disney, 1975) and Return to Witch Mountain, where the kids have supernatural powers like telepathy, etc.





Hope this helps...
Reply:Hmmmm. I do remember the scene with the old woman and the rainbows of light on the wall caused by the prism-like crystals on her chandelier (or other lamps). But I cannot recall the film itself. I'll try.
Reply:I know in the movie Pollyanna there was a scary old man who lived in the woods who had tons of prisms, also in that movie there was a old lady Pollyanna would visit and the prisms were hanging on the old ladies lamp shade that sat in front of her bedroom window. I don't know if thats what you looking for but that was the 1st thing that came to mind. I hope you find the movie.

thank you
Reply:Airplane and the Naked Gun series are pretty stupid funny.
Reply:Not Another Teen Movie comes to mind. It spoofs all the generic teen movies just like Scary Movie spoofs all the horor flicks.
Reply:(From 1989/90) A great spoof hardly seen anymore, though through some miracle I have a copy taped off the TV, is "Transylvania Twist". I guess it's on DVD now. It's in the stupid scary genre. Check it out.
