The Punisher

[Masherbrum]

Hollywood has potatod every comic book hero I liked as a kid.

My all time fav is "The Silver Surfer", they potatod it, although I've heard the film was pretty good.   I'd see it out of all of them. 

The destroyed The Punisher, X-Men, Superman (after releasing the new one), Batman is now stupid, I REFUSE to even watch a second of Spiderman (Tobey MacGuire is an absolute tool and horrible actor).

Come on Hollywood how about Green Lantern?   Wait, there is a movie in the works.

Why does that have to be an entirely bad thing? The comics that we enjoyed as kids would not as likely be of interest to our own kids had they not come out on the big screen.  Now you can go onto ebay ~ get all of those comics that you loved & share them with your own son   so he can enjoy them as much as you did!

Egad, can there BE a more perfect chick than Mom? She doesn't watch chick-flicks! (TELL me you don't have a copy of Steel Magnolias laying about the house )

Am I the only one who used to read the Punisher comic book?

I think that says it all...uber cool.

The Punisher freaking rocks. Old man: "May god be with you" Punisher:"Gods gonna sit this one out"

I thought this was going to be about someone who punishes toilets

I remember seeing an *ahem* Adult toy named "The Punisher"

Should I ask? 

[SD67]

It's safer not to...

[Meatwad]

I believe so

I think I'm in agreement with Lazs on this one, a woman directing a Punisher movie? Seems not right. Will definitely look for it when it comes out.

Doubtless the hero will have moments of deep self doubt and emotional turmoil, complicating a new relationship with a girl (who's suppposed to be ugly, but is actually a knockout when she takes off her glasses). By the end of the film, she'll die of a pollution related leukemia and the hero will dedicate himself to raising environmental awareness, while donating all proceeds of his heroic activities for cancer research.

Hey! Mom DID get her chick-flick

   I thought vengence for having killed his family was enough romance for that one movie.

Vaya con dios.


I really liked the new punisher.  I went in expecting a body count movie, and was disappointed in that aspect. 

If you couldn't tell that I like The Punisher, you only need to look to the left.

I hadn't heard of the new movie, I'm excited now.

The new one is directed by a woman?   an action movie directed by a woman?   one strike against it right there.. hard but probly not impossible to get past that.

Well, in her defense, one should note that Lexi Alexander is not your typical average woman.

She is a former Women's Kickboxing Champion from Germany.

It is said that she still has a pretty powerful right hand punch:

I liked the Punisher. I even liked Daredevil. The Phantom and the Shadow were awful.

I've never been a big fan of Alec Baldwin, but he was absolutely HORRIFIC in The Shadow.

Did you know that The Shadow cost $40 million to make, and only grossed $32 Million at the box office??

No expense was sparred.   They hired famous composer Jerry Goldsmith to create the music.  They even hired the screen writer from Jurassic Park to write the script.   The entire story and dialog was absolutely ludicrous at times!!

I have got to believe that the Shadow was the beginning of the downfall of Baldwin's career.   Which he has only just recently managed to revive somewhat.
