The Sgt. Rock thing has been on the books for years, and ever since Die Hard, has had Bruce Willis as the lead in various incarnations. Watchmen was a graphic novel in 1986, and is already set for release on 3-06-09. And finally, what would we do at Comic Con if we can't promote superhero movies? :) Actually, there is a Jonah Hex film, starring Josh Brolin.

I would love to see a new Indy without a sidekick and without any stupid scenes like the Tarzan one.

And yeah, the monkey scene was the one I had in mind. I call it the Tarzan scene, but no matter what you call it, it sucked.

They are really making a Hulk 2 after this one bombed worse than the Ang Lee one? Bizzare I haven’t seen it but just having the monkey scene EXPLAINED to me makes me cringe.

But I'll be damned if they're not right about that audience thing. I mean they relaunched the Hulk franchise a mere 4 years after the last one bombed and people still showed up to see it! Agreed.

In fact I would go a step further and say that remake films are WAY worse in the overall scheme of things. Only Dawn of the Dead comes to mind as a good remake Good point.

George Lucas put in some scenes that are almost unforgivable. I take that back, the new Indiana Jones was only okay. George Lucas put in some scenes that are almost unforgivable.
