Superman was flying around the city and was super horny.

He spotted Wonder Woman lying on top of a building naked, with her legs spread. He figured he could fly down there, screw her super fast, and be outta there before she even knew what happened. So Superman flew down, quickly had sex, and flew back out again.

"What was that?" Wonder Woman said.

"I don't know," said the Invisible Man. "But my ass sure hurts!"

The version of this joke I heard long ago was: "I bet she was surprised! Not as surprised as the invisible man!"

That young Kirk guy gets around!

New "origin" trailer out:

Good lord Gal is hot!

Ummmmmm...I'm gonna be in the bathroom for a bit. Be right back...

Recently saw her in Keeping Up With The Joneses. She is quite handsome.

I'll pass on the Wonder Woman flick though. I'm tired of Hollywood putting out nothing but remakes, sequels, and superhero movies. I'm patiently waiting for some original ideas.

I've been paying attention for about 8 years now.
That first F&F film she was in...oh my. "You don't send a man to do a woman's job."

If you are waiting for Marvel Studios to stop putting out superhero movies, you might be waiting for quite some time. It's like waiting for Apple to stop putting out Macbooks and iPhones. It's sort of their core business.

It is what people are paying to see. Either kids animated films, superhero movies, and/or sequels/franchise (Star Wars, James Bond, ect). IIRC, for 2016 the 14 or 15th top grossing film was the first on the list that wasn't one of the list above, and Rouge One wasn't finished yet.

^^^^ I think people now look to the theater mostly when they want a visual experience, or to attend an "event." On the one hand it seems like writing/storytelling is dead, but we do now have an overwhelming numbers of TV shows, many of them serious, well crafted dramas. Many people won't even consider going to the theater unless there's going to be lots of action/great visuals, or maybe something they can take the kids to in order to get out of the house.

^^^^^ This.

I generally only go to the theater for something I think is going to be really visually impressive. If it's 'just a movie', I wait for Netflix and watch it at home.

The trailers always look good, and I hope it lives up to the promise of being good fun and big entertainment.

But she ain't no Lynda Carter.

Lynda's more busty, but Gal has whipped her body into fantastic shape for this role. They both have beautiful faces. I'll take Gal, and you can have Lynda.

That's the direction of large studio movie making. Big 'tent-pole' movies are the pillar upon which the major studios will go all-in with. Massive number of screens maximizing the greatest revenue stream in a short-period of time. Because CGI/FX costs have spiraled out-of-control, the major studios are forced to get as fast a return as possible, pouring in huge amounts of cash into marketing & promotion, pushing their actors in front of every camera possible to promote the film and even securing licensing rights for merchandise. The public has been condition by this and thus, they're expectations are....stunted. Comedy is simply toilet humor or, slapstick. Drama revolves around some personal assault, usually sexual or, relationship abuse of some kind. Action is ...well, lots and lots of explosions, stylized gun-play and over-the-top, continual action.

Official release day is this Friday. Lots of very positive reviews so far over at rottentomatoes.

Final Trailer:

I truly want this to be a good movie while also wanting DC Studios to die horrifically. They've produced their movies with no sense of intelligence, unlike Marvel.

Watched Superman and also Batman vs Superman in theaters, but watched Suicide Squad on Blu-ray. Will probably wait on Wonder Woman unless it gets Marvel-like positive reviews.

DC needs to step it up if I'm going to the theaters to watch another one of their movies.

They are from two entiry different eras, so it's haed to compare them fairly.

Like trying to compare 'Man of Steel' with Christopher Reeve's Superman portrayals. . .

I was in love with Linda Carter's WW, but I was 9 when I became smitten. Today, those old episodes are painful to watch.
