The Full List of "Crimes" Committed by Fox's Tom Rothman

On a similar note, would the Super Mario Brothers movie have been good if it wasn't pretending to be related to the games? Discuss. :^)

It's an interesting idea, but no matter what you call two stereotypical Italian plumbers, a princess, fungus, and a robotic dinosaur, it's still a flaming piece of dogshit.

*Fox screwing with the edit of "Hitman", firing then-director Xavier Gans, and then going back to reshoot certain scenes with a new director.

*Trying to ruin the first "X-Men" movie by cutting down budget and moving the release date from November 2000 to May 2000.  "X2"'s budget got cut down too. 
   
  "Said no to "Alien 5" by James Cameron and Ridley Scott because "We have a good script for "AvP"!"
   
*Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" remake being rushed into production.  This resulted in Burton's comment "I'd rather jump out of a window than do "Planet of the Apes 2"."

And the audiences' reply: We'd rather jump out of a window than watch Planet of the Apes 2.

Oh, a Silver Surfer movie is totally do-able, there's a ton of comics that could be developed, but I am pretty sure this'll be pants.

Yeah, but will they make it a "space movie" or will the studio demand that they make sure it's based on Earth? If Marvel's in charge, I see greater potential for it, but like Thor, the Silver Surfer as a main character will be very difficult to get right.

Quite funny you should mention that, since the current writer of Thor, JMS (Babylon 5) was the writer of the upcoming Silver Surfer film.

"writer"

Yes, writer, the point being that preexisting link between Thor and the Silver Surfer

nobody would have seen it without the title I, Robot...

I don't have a graph or anything but I'm pretty confident people still would've seen it.

heh heh, that cracked me up, I'm going to steal that.

Go ahead.  Pie chart is a good variation also.
