I'm 3 minutes into Darkman and I'm already convinced this is the greatest superhero movie ever made
@Laser i recently re-watched the phantom and it's really not bad
@Laser @cicatriz_jdr @healyn The Phantom whips
@derek @cicatriz_jdr @healyn I'm here to talk about Darkman
@cicatriz_jdr @healyn @Laser Darkman also whips
@derek @cicatriz_jdr @healyn My dad gave me a replica skull ring from The Phantom and I love it.
@sexybenfranklin @healyn @cicatriz_jdr that's suck as hell
@derek @healyn @cicatriz_jdr yeah, back when I like... Went to an office, I would wear it. People assumed it was a tough guy thing and I'm like "No it's just from a nerd movie my dad and I loved."
@healyn @cicatriz_jdr @sexybenfranklin sick* gdi
@derek @healyn @cicatriz_jdr I knew what you meant
@healyn I saw it at the drive in when it came out. Billy Zane really had a moment in the mid 90s huh?
@Laser i think Titanic might have actually fucked his career, which is weird
@healyn he was too good at being the asshole!
@Laser this guy can't be a superhero! not anymore
@healyn I'm calling it now, we are ready for the Zane-revival. Cameron, put him in Avatar 3
@Laser i think the world is ready. Zaneheads need to stand up like the Brendan Fraser stans have
@georgieboy @healyn sin city perfected the genre like 5 years after it died
@georgieboy @Laser LA Confidential is up there for me, maybe my favorite movie of the 90s (obviously not a comic book movie, but still)
@georgieboy @healyn I'm gonna add it to my list!
@healyn it's inspired casting! Raimi saw that Liam was an action leading man like 20 years before anyone else. Paxton would have also been great. Apparently Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts were the studios choice for the female lead as well
@Laser Raimi made it up to Paxton by putting him in A Simple Plan, which is an amazing movie
@healyn another one on my list!
@Laser you gotta watch that one! classic
@Laser Dick Tracy is my favorite of those, actually.
It's wild how after Tim Burton's Batman the studios were like "ah, we get it now, people want noir 30s radio dramas as movies" and they made the shadow and the phantom and the rocketeer and this and not comic book movies
