Just finished watching X-Men: The Last Stand....
Won't tip a spoiler, but it's a thumbs up from me.
Also on the DVD are trailers of DareDevil, Elektra, and The Fantastic Four. I've seen all of those, and liked them to greater or lesser degrees.

Got me to thinking.. I've never been a big comic reader/fan... but I had enough friends that were that I absorbed a bit..


the question of the evening (or early AM depending on your time zone...) is this;
What comic OR graphic novel, would you most like to see a movie made from?


My vote: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.


You?

I am not Ryan Seacrest, and I do not approve this message.

I want a good version of Captain America and look forward to Aguaman. The Flash would be good.

I'd love to see a proper version of Watchmen made. To do it properly though, it would most likely take a movie that runs about nine hours, so I don't think that's going to happen.

Dark Knight Returns...best comic EVER!

Alan Moore's Miracleman. Much easier to pull off as a single movie than Watchmen, and a better story by far, IMO.

Just kidding. That would be a grueling exercise in catatonic entertainment. That strip is so freaking boring.

The Watchmen immediately came to mind for me as well but the same thought: There's no way movie people could wrap that up in two or even four hours.

Secret Wars would be kinda cool.

Who, or what is Aguaman SpearMint?
Sounds like a Latino wrestler.

Funny ! Some comments
Sea- how about Prince Valium ?
Grad- I thought "sex and the city" was "Cathy"".

I personally would love to see the
"Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" !

Groo. Hopefully it will make the issues I kept from my childhood worth more!

Groo, yes!

or maybe Cerebus!
[en.wikipedia.org]

The title character is a misanthropic three-foot tall bipedal gray aardvark. ("We're all funny animals in a world of humans," says Sim.) Cerebus is intricately tied to the religious and political fate of the fictional world of Estarcion and becomes, at various points in the storyline, a mercenary, a Prime Minister, a Pope, a houseguest, a bartender, and a messiah. Cerebus refers to himself by name, in the third person, with occasional exceptions in the early issues. The name was originally an accidental misspelling of Cerberus.

Cerebus is a morally ambiguous character, at times sympathetic, at others unpalatably callous. He is often foul-mouthed and uncouth, has a vicious temper, and loves getting drunk, to the point where he could be considered an alcoholic. In the Guys story arc, Cerebus is described as having "a self-absorption that borders on the pathological." Church and State contains two notorious scenes where Cerebus, after becoming Pope, uses brutal methods to teach twisted morality lessons. After a mother begs Cerebus to bless her baby, he does so and then hurls it away, and later kicks an old man off the roof of a hotel. Despite his moral deficiencies, he is brave, crafty, and can show genuine affection to those he considers equals or those he has feelings for. He is also a skilled tactician and strategist, is very proficient at hand to hand combat, and has a knack for improvisation and for being able to talk his way out of sticky situations. He also has some skill with magic, although his talents lie mainly in recognizing magic and dealing with it rather than utilizing it. Sim has described Cerebus's voice as sounding like George C. Scott's.

It is revealed in the Reads story arc that Cerebus is a hermaphrodite, possessing both genders' genitalia and reproductive systems.

What the hell is the matter with you people? The correct answer is Joy of Tech! duh...

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I heard they were making an Iron Man movie. That should be cool. Could be a very dark movie with Tony Stark's Vietnam injury origin and alcoholism.
