Cracked.com has an amusing look at 6 films where, if you think about it, the villains probably won in the end. Movies whose happy endings didn’t offer quite enough resolution… like Independence Day. I’ve thought about that myself. At the end, gigantic warships the size of entire counties explode. Fine, but what about any escape pods that the aliens might have had? Why wouldn’t hordes of aliens just parachute down to earth and, with their future-tech weapons, pulverize the hell out of us? We already saw how difficult it was to bring just one of them down, and Earth has only one Will Smith.
Well, that’s one down
Other targets on the list include Zoolander, Back to the Future and It’s a Wonderful Life. Are there other films you can think of, which wrap up with the heroes celebrating perhaps a bit too prematurely?
We were saddened to see Edgar Wright’s critically praised comic adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. The World bomb at the box office this weekend. There are a few theories as to why.
But it reminded me of the excellent posters for the action star Lucas Lee (played hilariously by Chris Evans), which I saw at ComicsAlliance a couple weeks ago. Lucas Lee was a skater before becoming a Hollywood superstar, and is one of the evil ex-boyfriends which Scott must defeat.
Action Doctor’s tagline is classic. There are more over at ComicsAlliance, so go check them out!

The bulk of the Endoskeleton is made from a rubbery, flexible silver plastic with a wash of black. The depth of detail is absolutely amazing. The T-800′s eyes light up and it comes with a rifle and a spare right hand that can be swapped out. And just so you don’t forget what a Terminator is for, it comes with a base comprised of human skulls.

Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Carrie Fisher?! Although missing the classic score and sound effects, such as Darth Vader’s breathing or the lightsaber’s hum, Star Wars is strangely compelling as a silent film. With dramatically costumed actors scurrying about futuristic sets, one could almost see the film as a precursor to Metropolis.
What other films do you think might benefit from the Silent Movie treatment? I’d love to see a horror flick like Wolf Creek… it would just make it more terrifying.

Charming Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “You can go suck a fuck” from Donnie Darko is my favorite of the bunch. Although, the classic line from Road House, “I used to fuck guys like you in prison”, is tough to beat. I’ve used that one actually.
