They were fun features. The third Blade installment, though, stalled at the starting gate. All pose, no cajones. Ghost Rider, though, was just static, dispite all the fire and fury and generous applications of computer animation. Peter Fonda might have made an interesting Devil, but there was nothing for him to do except practice his increasing resemblance to poet Michael McLure. Additionally, am I the only who is leary of seeing devils dressed as fashion-victim Goths and Emos'? Robert DeNiro's finely attired demon, long fingernails and all, was quite a bit more unnerving than these costumed morons.<BR/><BR/>A New Gods movie would be interesting, and it would be fantastic if they included as much Kirbyesque technology as they could.TED BURKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610296721891201100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-60825862896364858472007-08-14T10:05:00.000-07:002007-08-14T10:05:00.000-07:00You may be a little unfair to to Cage's agent here...You may be a little unfair to to Cage's agent here, blaming his, um, presence on his choices of parts. Surely he owns most of those terrible acting chops his own self, yes? If it's not dopey and aimless, it's lost for him. I mean, he was sort of OK in <I>Raising Arizona</I> playing himself, but...Keifushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287358319899471490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-14576127662673601452007-08-14T06:51:00.000-07:002007-08-14T06:51:00.000-07:00Well, at least you didn't pay the full bucks to se...Well, at least you didn't pay the full bucks to see it at the theater, as I did. Not a case of the bigger the better. I was quite disappointed, as I thought the Ghost Rider comic was both obscure and simple enough that a writer could have created a pretty good B-movie out of it. In much the same way that Blade was a totally enjoyable romp.<BR/>Personally, I'm looking forward to a New Gods movie, preferably animated in full Kirbyesque glory.kolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648985808921944343noreply@blogger.com
