Ray Park is a good looking fellow. Therefore he can't play Vegeta.

I actually started missing this last season because I have been so busy lately but my sister kept up with it, from what she told me about it I am glad that I was missing season 8. However, I seen a recent image of Doomsday I was impressed, did not know about the new origin though.

On-topic: oh wow, a profit? That pretty much guarantees at least a DTV sequel. I'm impressed.

Well if it hangs in the theatres for a little while longer and you count DVD sells etc, we may get a full featured film with a bigger budget.

And I liked Dawson's Creek a lot, too, though I never finished the series. Did Dawson and Jody end up together in the end? I hope they did.

I am used to changes such as the ones we saw in DB.E so that is why I enjoyed the movie. I am not very big on keeping updates exactly in harmony with the source material. For the record if I recall correctly Joey and Dawson got married at the closing of the show.

I think there are some fan girls that would have a problem with you about that statement.

He says that it's actually the DVD sales that make or break a lot of movies in terms of whether or not it was a good investment for the studio. So, while Dragonball Evolution seems to have barely made it's budget back in the theater, the DVD sales will push it far enough into the profit zone that it'll actually not be a failure for FOX.

Just barely making back the profit and going slightly over doesn't negate it from being a failure. No movie studio just wants to break even, or make only a modest amount of profit.

Spiderman 3 anyone?

Everyone hated Spider-Man 3. Not just fans of the character and comic, but everyone. The general public.

Exactly. I can't tell you how many friends and acquaintances I know who are not fans of the character but generally enjoyed the first two films, who absolutely fucking hated the third film. It was awful.

I mean, I remember being in the theater watching it, and people were laughing the whole time.

No.

She chose Pacey.

So I take it you have the ability to read minds?

Off Topic:

No.

You are right, she tells Dawson that he was her soul mate but she chooses Pacey as her lover which sucked.

Oh, wow.

"You're my soulmate, but I'm not going to choose you."

If that's not a kick in the balls and the purest embodiment ever of stupid girl BS, I don't know what is.

I didn't hate it. It didn't stack up to the first two, but I didn't think it was too bad, and liked it a lot. Needed more Venom, that's the only real problem I had.

I also liked spider-man 3. It's not an awesome movie, but it does have it's moments. Laughing huh? I guess you don't know much about Sam Raimi.

Nah, it needed less Venom. Venom, at his best, is a sadistic bastard who likes to calculatedly exact his revenge by playing with elements of Peter Parker's life. In the comics, that's how he was at first. He deserved his own film to wreck havok, not just a quick 20 minute spot.

Spider-Man 3, in all honesty, should have been about Sandman and Harry. It would have wrapped the trilogy perfectly, even with the black suit thrown in (though, a touch less on the camp please, and lose 'Emo Peter'), if they had focused on those two and ended the movie with the Venom transformation as foreshadowing (because, we all knew a fourth movie was coming).

Spider-Man 3 was just too crammed. Blame Avi Arad though, he forced Sam Raimi to put Venom in the film. It wasn't as bad as X-Men 3 at least.

X-Men 3 was much better than Spider-Man 3 . . . much.

Yeah, that'd be my second choice. Use 3 to set up Venom for 4.

No offense, but Kevin Smith has been making theatrical movies for over a decade and, as far as I know, you haven't made any. I'll trust his word over yours.

At least the characters in Spider-Man 3 got more than 5 seconds screen time (lawl Angel). X-Men 3 was a travesty compared to the other entries in the series. Spider-Man 3 was too jam-packed, whereas X-Men 3 was basically "Hey, how many mutants can we fit in this movie? Don't worry about giving them stories."

Oh well, at least Origins: Wolverine is decent.

I still don't get how his movies "barely broke even or made little profit" per your words.

Per his. I told you my source. You can watch "An Evening with Kevin Smith" on YouTube. "Evening Harder" might be on there, too. I'm not just pulling this out of my ass.

I own both. And 'Threevening' as well. Irregardless, I showed you the actual figures though. Plus, Kevin does tend to exaggerate if he did in fact say that.

Kevin Smith isn't the multi-million dollar conglomerate that FOX is. They see only numbers and that's it; if a project doesn't work out, they have plenty of other projects in the pipeline.

Kevin Smith is a director who financed his own stuff until he was popular enough to gain studio backing from companies like Miramax. Big difference.

The budget just jump up to $55.5 million! At least it's making a fair amount from its budget. So is the budget 50 or 45 million?

The budget was around 50 million, although the exact amount could very well be 45 million.

There is absolutely no way this is getting a sequel. No freaking way...

The cast has already signed for two next sequels. So it will definitely happen. I want to keep Dragon Ball Evolution alive. It will probably results in biggest flop in cinema history of mankind. It would be cool if they want to make a sequel, it would have to be a reboot of its franchise. Considering Dragon Ball Evolution was better than the new Star Wars: The Clone wars in box office, it has given us a hope that they will do better than the previous movie.
