Comic Vine Podcast 01/08/10 (Spider-Man, Iron Man, Kick-Ass & More)

Youe podcasts are lacking a certain, shall we say, "Riezner-ness"

I was quiet in the beginning because I was reading comics.

Hmmm, after seeing Sandman and Venom on screen I don't see how Vulture would appear far fetched.  
 
And you're right about the whole trend towards no reality based super-hero movies, but I've got to ask 'why'? Why can't we just accept Thor for being purely enjoyable fiction? 

What I would of liked for the Spider-man movies. I would of liked it if the third movie had been all about Peter overcoming the black suit with a hint of Venom at the end, then have the villain for the fourth had been about Venom.
 
My issue with the Avengers movie. What force could they make that would be a credible threat against the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor for a live action movie?
 
I believe it is possible to make older movies into 3D. I'm sure it's just a lot more complicated.
 
I had a few problems with Avatar. I enjoyed the movie. It's that the messages are kind of heavy handed. When the Home Tree fell and the Na'vi were walking away. I thought of the Trail of Tears. There was also a part of the narrative that I thought was lacking. They are there to get this mineral that goes for 20 million an ounce, but at no time do they even say what it's used for. Why is it worth that much on Earth? Why is it worth this genocide? Also the fact that everyone is from Earth, but no one even mentions how this is like the Native American Relocation policy.
 
I'm saying, That Archie stamp looks like something dirty is going on. It looks like Veronica made an "Indecent Proposal". 
 
Uhhhh, Babs. One of Robert Downey Jr.'s earliest movies was actually "Weird Science" 1985. Not his role in Alley McBeal.
 
I agree so much with you, G-Man. Land does alright on covers, but utterly lacks on interiors.
 
Anyone care to hear a good reason why Sherlock Holmes was good for Christmas Day? I can tell you why. The VERY first Sherlock Holmes story "A Study in Scarlet" was publish in the Beeton's Christmas Annual of 1887 along with two other stories. The price was One Shilling. It didn't get it's own separate book until July of the next year. It emulated what happened with the book. Though I don't know if that was on purpose.

I thought Sam Raimi did a good job with Spider-man I and II. They were excellent movies

"Finally!!!! "

The intensity of the colours in Sci-Fi should really change with regards to the proximity of the object from a star. The only real argument for having darker ships is making them harder to spot when they are closer to a star than the Earth is but then again if you are relying on seeing your foe in the vastness of space then the colour isn’t going to help that much and you are in trouble.

Finally its back XD, the podcast is back, YES!!!
