RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

So is he supposed to be Asian? Or just in name only? He looks like a Mortal Kombat character.

He is a Western Chinese/Mongolian (that general area) guy who discovered some rings in a downed spacecraft.

Recent origin revamps show that might not be the case, as the radiation from the rings have caused him to hallucinate and imagine shit that might not have happened.

Now, he exclusively operates between Afghanistan, India and China.

[Martin]

Now I get it.

[Abraham Smashington]

cool. I have no problem with his look although I still would have preferred Nic Cage reprising his Fu Manchu look from Grindhouse.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Fuck it. Just make Cage Charlie Chan.

To run with what Troy and Jamie are saying re: JLA, yeah, can't see it happening either. I love the idea, especially if they go old school with it, give us the Big 7 in action, saving origins for spin-off flicks, but after watching Green Lantern... no.

They see Amazing Spider-Man numbers ($750M) as realistic for Superman. No matter how good it looks or good it is... that kind of projection is nuts. They see $550M as worst case scenario... *Shakes head*

I think the Mandarin looks pretty good, all things considered.

As for Fox's X-Men stuff, what Troy said. The chronology is a lost cause at this point, much like it is in the comics to a point. I'll wait until the 2013 X-stuff hits cable.

I think the Mandarin looks like a dwarf from THE HOBBITT.

[gravedigger]

What the fuck, there's going to be THREE Hobbit movies?

[Ben Thomas]

Wait, someone's making The Hobbit?

[Martin]

What's a hobbit?

[BillyG]

FUCK ALL YALL

[FilmNerdJamie]

What's a hobbit?

A phrase used to describe taking something nice and tight and stretching out beyond logic and repair but pretending it's good.

Kinda like Megan Fox?

[Matt]

Kinda like Megan Fox?

Made me laugh out loud.

[FilmNerdJamie]

More padding in The Hobbit than a Stay Free commercial.

[Matt]

Any more word on THE HOBBIT's disastrous screening? Any word yet on DJANGO UNCHAINED?
