5 Comic Books That Should Never Be Made Into Movies

newhal

Everyone goes ga-ga when they make the big screen version of  such comic books as Iron Man or Watchmen. But it seems  that pretty soon they are going to run out of A-list comic book characters to do movie adaptations. In anticipation of that clustersuck, here are my pick of comic books that should never be made into Hollywood movies:  (more…)

Weekly DVD Drop: You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

OK, everybody knows that Adam Sandler is hilarious – or at least he’s mostly hilarious.  In You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, he portrays an Israeli counter-terror specialist whose martial arts skills are second only to Chuck Norris.  Sandler winds up in New York City as a hairstylist – and hilarity ensues.  While the flick is pretty funny, you will love this movie for one reason: Emmanuelle Chriqui (from Entourage fame) – she looks awesome in this film.

This is a  very slow week in DVD releases – so check out some DVDs from last week, like Iron Man (which I have not seen but hear it is amazing).

To Hell and Back with Robert Downey Jr.

In April 1996 Robert Downey Jr. was arrested for possession of heroin, cocaine and having an unloaded .357-caliber Magnum, while he was speeding down Sunset Boulevard.

Now, eight years later the 43 year-old Iron Man star has been to hell and back, showing “how he defeated his demons to become Hollywood’s badass superhero in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.” [Just Jared]

In this recent interview, Downey Jr. discusses his current identity, his crazy schedule since Iron Man, the release of Tropic Thunder and how he is moving forward with his life since his days of drug addiction and living on the edge.

Downey Jr. is one cool cat!

Nick Fury, Pick a Race!

nick furyWhether you watch the last two minutes of Iron Man after the credits, or you’ve been reading comics for years, you know that Nick Fury has been going through an identity crisis for a while. The now former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. has flipped between races more than Mariah Carey.

Old-school Nick Fury is a white dude with a little bit of grey setting in on the sides; a quasi-Paulie-Walnuts from the Sopranos look. In the “Ultimate” comic series, Nick Fury is actually modeled after Samuel L. Jackson. Marvel confirmed that he was the model and inspiration for the new incarnation of the bad-boy comic legend.

The real question is – which one is it?

I know there are different story arcs and anything goes, but I feel like this is a motivated by a quest to be politically correct. I agree that there aren’t too many bad-ass black superheroes (story to come), but I truly think Nick is a white dude. Think of it this way – in the comics, Nick Fury is one of the most powerful/influential characters in the world. Do you think the Conservative Republicans of the Marvel Universe would EVER let a black dude have that much power? I think not.

Even better question, what about an arc with an asian Nick Fury? WTF?

Robert Downey Jr. To Play Hugh Hefner In Upcoming Playboy Movie

After his acclaimed performance in blockbuster Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. has been scouted by Hugh Hefner to play the magazine mogul in an upcoming Playboy-creator biopic. According to PerezHilton.com, after seeing Iron Man, Hefner has put Downey to the top of the list of actors to portray him in the film.

From the article:

After Iron Man’s huge and unexpected success, RDJ is one of the hottest properties in town!

It’s not a 100 percent done deal, but sources say Hefner has signed off on Downey to play him in the movie, which has the working title Playboy.

Hef reportedly took a liking to Downey after seeing Iron Man and “admiring his humor and skill in showing his vulnerability.”

Other rumored leading men include Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, and the film will be directed by Brett Ratner. And Ron Howard will serve as producer for the Universal Studios film.

With an authentic playboy with a debauchery-filled past in the leading spot, this promises to be F’ing rad.
