It is a shame, but I don't think we will be seeing any more Square films any time soon. The bad showing of FF will surely pose as a road block for future animation films of this type.

You are correct RANDOM SHEMP, as you have stated several hundred times. For the first time in a few weeks the list is looking better. "Training Day" was a fine picture, and I'm looking forward to the the release of the new Heather Grahm movie, whick looks like it's going to be good. With Deuce, Harry Potter, Gangs of NY, Imposter and The Fellowship of the Ring on the horizon, the list should soon be in a fine state, one worth conversing about.

I'm surprised that you did not like "Training Day", I thought it was great, and easily worthy of a chat site.

100%

I enjoyed "Training Day" but I think it would have been much better if Vin Diesel played the Ethan Hawke role.

I hear ya, I like Vin Diesel too, but I think it was important to have a character playing Hawke's role that was physically smalled than Denzel, and certainly not imposing. Vin makes even a tough looking Washington seem like a wussy in comparison with himself. Even in boiler Room where he was not based on being a tough guy, he still came off with a "big guy" image. I don't think the chemistry would have worked. You should go to IMDB.com, and watch the trailer for "Knock Around Guys", Vin plays a tried and true character (son of a mobster), and knocks people around. It looks entertaining.

It looks like Fred (Flinstone) Hater has finally lost it.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...   reply

What is it with all you Vin Diesel lovers? I sense a little gayness in these comments. This house smells like ass. So whats up? Really?

You can rent IRON MONKEY at the video store.  It was released in 1993.
