If all movies followed the same physical laws as the real world, they wouldn’t be a lot of fun — we don’t want action heroes to break their legs every time they jump off a bridge and into the top of a speeding truck, we want them to roll over painlessly and continue with the chase scene (or, alternatively, to explode for no reason).
However, once you’ve established the rules of your movie universe, the only thing we ask is that you follow those rules. Don’t say that your time traveling robot unicorn is powered by ice cream in one scene and blowjobs in the next. That’s just sloppy writing.

From Cracked
Every movie is a balancing act between making the villain interesting and making them so compelling that we start rooting for them to kill the good guy so that they have an excuse to say something awesome (see The Dark Knight and basically every cinematic depiction of the Joker). We asked you to show us the deleted scenes from great movies that would have tipped the balance too far in favor of the villain.

Morning Banana Oatmeal: Superhero Reboots to Come
Posted in Movies, tagged Batman, Cracked, Hero, superman on April 24, 2012| 1 Comment »
W. Rowntree and Cracked.com has once again come up with this amazing webcomic about the absurdity behind superhero reboots. I love the justification descriptions behind each one and they truly represent how ridiculous reboots and revamps are becoming. That being said, the new Spiderman is completely unnecessary and the only reason I might see it is because Emma Stone is A-Mah-Zing.
