Comment on Morally Reprehensible Movie? by Neal

I was also squeamish when I saw the initial trailer. Subsequent promos seem to be trying to obscure the more “morally reprehensible” elements, so I’m fairly confused about just what the movie is supposed to be saying. Frankly, I’m tired of all the psychoanalysis that has gone on over the last 30 years or so regarding comic books. Comic books have turned into the emo kids of pop literature and Hollywood is reflecting that in movies like Sin City and Kick-Ass. I’m so glad Marvel Studios understands that superhero stories are supposed to be fun adventures and they’ve given us that with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. I was always a DC kid, but with Warner Bros. screwing up so many DC properties, I’m all about the Marvel Studios films now.

It seems as if all these cable channels feel compelled to morph into something else and it usually is something much worse than what they originally were. I don’t have the facts and figures to argue the commercial success of such changes, but almost every channel I once liked has turned into something horrible. AMC has made the least offensive changes, in my opinion, but I do miss the old programming. Their Tarzan weekend back in the 1990s was genius! I stayed up most of that weekend watching the entire history of Tarzan on film. What an amazing experience. And I loved how they would show so many exploitation films from the 60s and 70s. I don’t know what their identity is supposed to be now except the place where they show “Mad Men.”
