RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Captain Russ]

Manly tears.

[B_Metal]

Yes, manly tears of destruction.

[Ben Thomas]

Exchange + avatars = EPIC.

So...Robert Zemeckis is going to make the movie of my life with Tom Hanks.

I wish that my mother were alive to see this. She loved Tom Hanks and always thought that I kinda looked like him.

Alert: Target has some killer deals on blu rays this week.
'the Fighter', 'True Grit (2010)', and the 'Back to the Future' trilogy are all $14.99, and they also have some other great deals.

Me, I'm bringing my Target ad into Best Buy and making them price match.

Awesome! I played with Matt before there was a Matt!



I'm watching this purely for sentimental reasons - Major Matt Mason was the FIRST toy (barring all the toddler/educational stuff I got when I was very wee) I remember my dad getting me, followed by GI Joe. Had a couple of those astronauts and a couple of the vehicles, too.

[Matt]

By the way, I'm serious. My middle name IS 'Mason'. I wasn't named specifically for THIS, though:
- My dad is/was a Mason
- He had a friend in school that was named Mason, and he loved the name.
- He pushed for having my name BE Mason, but my mother objected. They settled on my name as a compromise, and they got a kick out of the fact that there was a toy and whatnot named after me.

So there.

Could've been worse. You could've been named after 70's advertising spokeschild Mason Reese.

[Ed Hocken]

Nothing wrong with being named after James Mason.

No Dark Knight Rises/Man of Steel at Comic-Con? Not surprised. Although I'd still expect something related to the latter to hit around that time like a first look at Cavill on EW or something.

But I don't buy for a second that Marvel won't be there with Avengers.

Nolan leaned on WB to back off and Supes doesn't have a damn thing ready.

Disney is already saying they're bringing it hard with the Marvel stuff.

[FilmNerdJamie]

And Sony is going to be bringing it hard (...heh heh "hard"...) with The Amazing Spider-Man but Christ they're pushing this to the wrong crowd.

General public are the ones they need to be concerned with about replacing Maguire & Co. and rebooting back to high school and with the origin story again. No matter how much we hear to the contrary (of course, the Comic-Con crowd is going to eat it up - so what?), I still smell a big under-performer with the new web-slinger next July.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Cavill, Snyder and Nolan better watch their backs...

Is that second pic for real? If so Man of tin foil imo.

[FilmNerdJamie]

As for real as this:
