Hey isn't this a Warner Bros property? Will we be seeing that penalty thing they talked about a few months back?

odifiend: I know what American Pie is (bad "comedy") but what's Van Wilder?
It was National Lampoon trying to relive its glory days of Animal House, complete with the same story of a slacker making his way through college while still trying to find time to party. It was a pretty funny movie, though- had some good laughs.

pervs in the theaters.
I hope the movie and games burn in flames. I just hope the Batman Movie will be better than this, Warner needs to learn from it animation department ( Superman series, Batman and Justice League ) something that mimics the comic closely without screwing up. Hellboy was a great adaption without all the crap hollywood like to kill.

lol. Yeah if they bring up brand damage they should be laughed out of court. I think the screenplay was writted for the sole purpose of getting Halle Berry into that cat suit. What is really funny though is that Halle has said that she refuses to do Xmen 3 because she didn't want to be stuck in the role of Storm.
Marvel: "How about catwoman?"
Berry: "Will I get to look pretty?"
Actually now that I think about it, it is probably because Storm is not the main character. She must rather be in a terrible movie as the lead then a good movie as a supporting actress/ co-star.
