When I was able to put aside Asimov and just enjoy I Robot for what it is, it is a fun movie.If you forget the obvious connection to Isaac's book, & the fact Harlan wrote a script based on it (that any director with half a brain should at least have read before contemplating shooting), yeah, it's not terrible.
I couldn't (& I didn't even like the damn book).

Honestly, a film based on ancient Egyptian mythology has the potential to be successful. Especially if the special effects are good enough to make animal-headed people not look ridiculous. Which I think can be done with CG-assisted prosthetics and animatronics. You wouldn't have people complaining about the skin color of the actors when you're talking about bird-men.
While I enjoy the Matrix movies I can see that they're mostly decent action sequences strung together by increasingly pretentious "philosophy". Personally, I'd love for the Matrix franchise to be created ITTL only for it to be taken away from them and given to someone who would give them some actual depth. Let the Wachowskis fade into obscurity making pretentious art films only snobs care about.

It's such a shame that they threw out the core themes of the book to ironically make the kind of story Asimov was sick of reading when he created the three laws.
In all fairness to Zilla, the fact that he was later canonized as a separate Kaiju from Godzilla helped him cultivate a fanbase of his own. He's not the Godzilla, after all. A decent animated series follow-up helped, too.
Where as I enjoy Will Smith and Bridget Moyahan characters in I Robot, I can not say that about the Characters in Tri Star Godzilla.
And since TriStar focuses on those character instead of Zilla, I find the movie unwatchable.
I'll kill two birds with one stone with Lenny and Malibu (bad joke, I know). Steve Gerber was working with Disney as a story editor in television animation while writing for Malibu on the side. He orchestrated Leonard's rescue from Marvel and transplanted him in the Malibu universe. However, don't expect a crossover between Leonard and Donald--yet.
As for Alan Moore, he has been working in the independent scene since his time with Malibu ended. He recently received an offer from Gary Carlson that piqued his interest.

It was an effective movie. I certainly haven’t bought anything but Converse brand sneakers since.
Don't they fall apart when one is chasing after a Robot on foot?

The original plan for the Clone Saga wasn’t half bad. Kill off May (and it was very well done) and Mary-Jane gets pregenant so Peter feels he is able to quit and hand over to Ben when he comes calling- it was just the suits/marketing kept dragging it out especially so it would not get in the way...

After doing research on Gary Carlson I have to ask, are you doing my Twilight of the Superheroes with Big Bang Comics characters?
I didn't realize it until now, I plan to include Philppus, who will be played by Grace Jones and will play an integral role in the first act of the film.
Similarly, I'm inclined to change Etta Candy's character slightly so that she's a pilot in Steve's squadron and played by Halle Berry.
I'll need to get back to that in the next Malibu update.
I can confirm that Alan Moore will be working on the Big Bang characters.
You could have Halle Berry play Nu'Bia:
Nubia
Nubia is an Amazon whose origins have changed through various incarnations of the character. Pre-Crisis Nubia was Wonder Woman's "black sister", created from black clay, just as Diana was created from white clay. Both were brought to life by Aphrodite, but Nubia was stolen by Ares/Mars (the...

All right, I will cast Halle Berry as Nu'bia and possibly give her a larger film in a sequel, and Margaret Cho will be Etta Candy because that photograph sold me on the idea.You could have Halle Berry play Nu'Bia:

I'm picturing Moore using the Big Bang characters similar to what he did with Supreme OTL.
Makes sense seeing how Rob Liefeld never created Supreme ITTL (I think).
I'm going to be rereading the Supreme collections soon to mine some ideas.
Anyway, I recently had a burst of inspiration so I have some more posts coming in the pipeline. Here is a general idea of what is to come in the near future.
- Mega Man and the series' jump to the Saturn (will cover Mega Man 7, 8, and X3.)
- Alan Moore's "Big Bang."
- A cinematic overview of 1996.
- Fantastic Four and the prelude to Gene Wars.
-"Justice, Like Lightning."
