How is Bell's nose not Hawk-like? The man's face nose and all looks like a hawk. I don't think you know what hawks look like.

No you go with the picture you have of him in your mind, and not what Doyle wrote. If you read what Doyle wrote and look at Bell, you would see that he describes Bell to a tee.

I go by Bell because Dr. Bell was the physical and mental embodiment of Holmes as admitted to by Doyle (and I did state the height difference).

Brett did not have a thin hawk-like nose either, nor did Paget's renditions. Dr. Bell did, and RDJ's features was closer to Bell's than Brett ever was.

I just think you've been biased by the popular images drawn by Paget. It's been molded in the minds of the public what Sherlock Holmes is supposed to look like even though that was not at first the intention of Conan Doyle.

Paget a Strand artist assigned to draw illustrations for the magazine rendered himself as the main. Doyle didn't like the renderings, as he thought Paget drew Holmes too handsomely. Where as those who knew Dr. Bell, knew instantly reading the story that Doyle was referring to him and Doyle admitted to it as well.

But Paget's imagery became what others knew and Doyle had to conceed to its popularity. It's tainted what everyone sees when they read the stories. For instance, it was also Paget who put Holmes in a deerstalker hat, even though he was never referenced in the stories to have worn so. Paget had illustrated it so for The Adventure Of Silver Blaze because he himself wore one...and it became iconic:



Hence Brett became the iconic Holmes as he looked like Paget.

Lets go this way:

Paget = Brett


And doey eyed Bell = doey eyed RDJ

Except for the height difference, I always thought Downey looked more like the literary Sherlock Holmes than Jeremy Brett, who was supposed to look like Dr. Joseph Bell. Jeremy Brett looked more like Sidney Paget's Holmes, who looked like Paget.

So you mean none of them so far.

I have a collection of comics that show Spider-Man wearing the Iron Spider suit for much more than two seconds. He only took it off when he had a falling out with Tony Stark, and when he joined the other Avenger group, they put him in the black suit. Anyway it's not theory, the reason was actually stated by artists in interviews in the past.

Spider-Man's costume changes in the comics every time he's put on a team book (Fantastic Four, Avengers, Etc). The reason is his web pattern on his costume take a really long time to draw out. When you have a bunch of other people to draw, the artists tend to get overwhelmed by the deadline, so Spider-man's costume is the first to get an "update". The symbiote suit came from another "team" book, Secret Wars. Usually, the suit remains unchanged on his own books, unless the writer get ideas on doing stories around the new one.

The third video is probably real (the others looked very fake). Though I'm 99% sure that the guy taking the 3rd video captured someone playing with an RC plane with flares attached, which is a pretty common and looks like that.

Battlefield Earth? I mean cm'on not even Scientologists could have liked that film.

Depends on the event. Many LARP events attract cosplayers as well. Of course if you're over 18, you're probably out of luck.

Do you know the difference between LARPers and Tabletoppers? LARPers actually talk to single girls who have a chance of being interested in them. While the girls Tabletoppers talk to are never single, never interested except for the one in the group they are usually already currently dating or married to.

Good.

As for what I feel about the memorial. I'm.../Rolls dice...glad for the Memorial.

I didn't think the Director's Cut was that good, but it did make it a better movie by adding more characterization of the character Matt Murdock who was pretty ignored by the first film by putting in several scenes of Matt Murdock, lawyer, that was cut from the film, as well as showed what the people actually thought of Daredevil's vigilantic actions, and how his patrols affected him physically. Also scaled down was the love story between him and Elektra, which IMHO is a major plus!

All that comes in time for Joe Random Guy if he doesn't go all villany, but in the beginning I very much expect frat boy antics.

Let them try...

I'm old enough to be concidered a mature adult, but I'm not anywhere close to being mature. If I was given power, I sure as hell would be hooting like a cowboy in a rodeo. I'd show off to friends definately, and probably would even stop people on the streets to have them check out the cool things I could do.

We weren't comparing it cause of the heroes. Thor kept being brought up because there were main story elements that were the same: A story set in two different worlds, one CG, one real, and a hero and a villain that similarly felt to be dissapointments to their fathers, and the parallels in motivation between them, as well as we had seen both in 3D.

As I said it's not we didn't see a better movie in Green Lantern, but it felt to us the guy who edited it (we looked at the credits and saw it wasn't the director) didn't get the story that was trying to be told or the studio called for re-edits to set-up a second film that caused the proper story flow to be lost. For instance, the stinger in the movie obviously wasn't meant to be a stinger but part of a vision that Hal gets when he touches the ring to Paralax hence why Hal went back to OA. As it stands it makes little sense in the movie in context. Also there were a lot of spectacular epic parts of this movie that got lost as it had no build up before it, or you got a jump cut to it that was so jarring you had to reconcile what just happenned before you can enjoy the action sequence set before you. This movie was just frustrating.

This movie was not better than Thor or X-Men - First Class. Me and my friends came out of this movie with the like opinion on that. Actually, a lot of comparisons between this and the Thor movie was made as it had similarities, but we all thought that Thor was better film by far.

To be fair, I saw great potential in the story in Green Lantern, and generally liked the performances of the actors (except on one teary eyed scene). I could see there was supposed to be a good movie there in the scenes, however, that was shreded in the editing process which made the story incoherrent (egads, you could actually see where scenes where supposed to go but didn't, it was that obvious.), and slowed the pacing to boring, so much so you weren't really sure when to be excited when it was supposed to be so, which is weird to say for a Summer Action Film. I can't even classify this movie as a popcorn flick it was so dull, I mean Transformers was bad, but at least it was entertaining. I did not like Green Lantern as shown, but hope in the future there will be a better cut sold when the DVD's are released.

I don't disagree that Rocketeer should be on the top 10. I love the film, own a copy, and watch it at least once a year. As fun and cool looking the Rocketeer was, it was very Disneyfied (the orange grove scene, him using a gun to do his famous pose and losing it before he could fire a shot, etc...), and I think that Iron Man and Watchmen are better films.

I agree, but I'd also have X-Men 2 on the list replacing Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Believe me, I love Timm, but Mask of the Phatasm shouldn't be in the top 10.
