it's nice that you did but come oooon. you're on a message board.
fwiw i wasn't talking about "failures" (artistic, box office, don't know) but about the fact that i sat there in the uptown theatre thinking "this is shit..."
it's teh only memorable thing about the movie actually. that and teh toxie green hue associated with the so-called "monster".

see, this is the problem here. "banged his sister" does not belong in comics. sorry. you're corrupting the children
