WARNING "THE INCREDIBLE HULK" NOTES MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

Hulk notes:

- no origin - greatness, only credits telling the backstory
- great man vs. monster/anger/inner self
- Hulk actually hits a bunch of stuff
- Great scene is when Hulk stabs Abomination with his own elbow bone
- Hulk is not emo at all
- So much action and great CGI; Hulk look/character is fluid and realistic and not plasticy

- Norton is a great actor; Liz Tylor is pretty decent for the most part
- General Ross is straight out of the comics; William Hurt is looking old
- Tim Roth, Emil Blonsky/Abomination, is decent enough
- Betty's b/f really has no real purpose or role

- Hulk doesn't show a lot of his strength that he does in the newer comics
- It rains A LOT, at the campus fight scene it suddenly starts raining after the battle even

though it was nice out before
- A lot of green stuff in the film - drinks, signs, etc.
- When the Hulk is first show, he's not shown completely all at first
- Transporter 1 & 2 director - Louis Leterrier
- Zak Penn wrote script and he's had some bad ones in the past with Behind Enemy Lines,

X-Men 3, Elektra, and Fantastic 4. After this he's set to write Captain American and the

Avengers Movie
- Inside jokes - purple pants, Hulk slow walk theme song, "Wouldn't like me when I'm

hungry", Captain America/Super Solider Serum, Stanleys' Resturant", and Stan Lee and Lou

Ferigno cameos (Ferrigno is the voice of the Hulk)
- great cameo by Stark and Avengers program

Show Notes For Episode 17 - 06-01-2008

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/26/film.indyeffects.ap/index.html
Why Indy went digital - ""He (Spielberg) thought maybe we should just go back to the way we did things before, like matte paintings on glass and things like that," said visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. "We entertained that idea for a little bit, but we realized we could serve the story better by using our digital tools.""

Ford might come back as Jack Ryan

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/01/studio.fire/index.html
Universal Studios fire. 40K to 50K videos and reels were damaged and Back to the Future and King Kong sets were destroyed. This is why Hollywood needs to back up their media quicker. Not only to make a profit but some of these items are the only ones in existence and should be shared with the masses

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/05/28/exclusive-rainn-wilson-joins-transformers-2-cast-as-university-professor/
Rainn Wilson (aka Dwight from The Office) has confirmed he will be a professor in a Transformers sequal

http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/swayze%20denies%20point%20break%20comeback_1069915
Patrick Swayze won't come back for Point Break 2. Still doesn't mean their won't be one. However, this would mean his character in the film really died.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117986558.html?categoryid=13&cs=1
Eddie Murphy is going to reprise his role as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop 4 - the only good thing that this means is he'll only be playing 1 character and it won't be in a fat suit!

Michael Bay will bring a board game to life. No not Life, or a Clue remake, not even another rip off of Jumanji. It will be Ouija!

http://www.bspcn.com/2008/06/01/30-upcoming-movie-sequels-you-didnt-know-about/
A fan submitted story about 30 upcoming movie sequels that are in the works. I wish we could write movie producers like we can our Congressmen to get them to stop these things before they even start.

Parody/Spoof Movies

Good:
- Airplane 1 and 2
- Hot Shots 1 and 2
- Naked Gun 1-3
- Wrongfully Accused
- Mafia!
- Austin Powers 1-3

Bad:
- Shriek If You Know What You Did Last Friday The 13th
- Scary Movie series
- Date Movie
- Meet The Spartans
- Epic Movie
- Spy Hard
- Super Hero Movie

Hollywood doesn't have to take a big of a risk because they know the movie elements spoofed already work.

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - Notes

These are just some of the points we talked about. Feel free to add others in the comments section and we'll even read them on the air!

- I called what they would find in the warehouse
- Wanted to see more than the bloody Ark - wasn't even a good inside joke
- Definitely had a "today's movie" feel to it
- Had a lot more archeology to it and less action
- Story moved along quick
- Shia didn't nervous geek stutter at all
- Didn't like the ancient astronauts theory, the use of aliens, or UFOs and I'm a sci-fi nut!
- Nice to see Indy take out big guys and soldiers left and right
- Nuke explosion and fridge was kind of stupid
- Didn't really understand the alien at the end or what happen to the bad chick
- Nice to see Karen Allen come back and be the love interest rather than some 21 y/o chick
- Too much use of CGI
- Nice nod to Marcus and Jones Sr.
- Vine swinging was moronic, why did the monkeys attack?

Next week's topic is good and bad satire/spoof movies. Join us on Sunday at 8 PM EST for FILM GEEKS!
