Is that like the comic book version of a MILF?
She’s not a mother… yet.
Who’s going to see The Mummy? On one hand, it’s Tom Cruise. On the other, well, google.
@ranlee
Also going to take a moment (if I haven’t already) to tell everyone how insanely ass-whoopin’ Robin Wright was as an Amazonian general. My buddy admitted he got turned on.
Between WW and House of Cards… Wrightnaissance?
For me, Wright’s performance is pretty much the only thing that makes House of Cards worth watching.
Gal as WW wasn’t enough for him? Haha
Gf wants to the The Mummy and say what you want, but I’m a pretty big Tom Cruise fan. I could care less about his scientology mumbo jumbo, but the man knows how to make movies.
We had to drop Baywatch because they weren’t showing it in the larger theaters at our local cinema. Damn, I didn’t read or hear any reviews, but I was looking forward to it.
The thing that made the first The Mummy’s fun was the humour. If it was a straight up horror action flick it wouldn’t have been so beloved. The lead has to be just slightly more goofy than Indie. That’s the only way it would work. I have a hard time seeing Tom Cruise pull off that funny yet tough mixture.
100% agreed. It seems, all I do is agree with you 
He’s too suave to play that kind of role that Frasier did.
I don’t expect another goofy mummy movie with chase scene after chase scene, but just something entertaining would make it worth the ticket price.
Tom Cruise isn’t known for comedy, but he can pull it off in a pinch.

[spoiler]If Zeus and the Olympian gods were still around 800 years ago, they were doing horribly as guardians of Greece. It was under Roman control after all.
I get the sense that the battle took place not long after the humans started fighting wars. However, judging on the aesthetics of the Amazonian culture, the gods probably sat on their bums for a while before taking action. I would guess the epic battle took place at least before the Roman conquest of Greece. That would make Diana at least 2163 years old.[/spoiler]
As for Superman, his age shouldn’t be counted from the moment he arrived on Earth and got discovered by the Kents. His age should be counted from the moment he was born. So it really depends on the method of travel for his hibernation pod. If it was way faster than light, then maybe he was not much older than when he arrived. If the pod travelled around light speed or slower, he would be hundreds if not millions of years old.
In this context you can’t really count the time when you’re in hibernation cause you’re not technically aging, or (more importantly) experiencing life. Your cerebral/neurological activity and biology are suspended.

[spoiler]Although, nobody said Olympian gods were specifically guardians for just Greek humans. In this universe Zeus created humans, they would presumably let their creations deal with their own infighting. Only when other gods interfere (i.e. Ares) would they step in to protect.
Having said that, I accept the technology/Pre-Roman conquest theory - at least 2000 sounds reasonable.[/spoiler]
@ranlee I have to stop playing the WW film score. It’s making me want to see the film again.
We’re living a post-Wonder Woman life now, folks.
Just saw this. It’s pretty flippin’ great, check it out:
I’m gonna sound really cynical but I’m so sick of all these Justice League and Evil League and Superhero League blahblahblah crap. It’s so pathetic how these macho, simple-minded films that include nothing but plot holes keep getting sequels after sequels.
Houston, we have a problem.

Who wants to bet they will blow it by “playing safe” and hiring a male director and an even more predictable hole plagued script?
I didn’t know they used real women fighters. Nice touch.
Good for Patty Jenkins. She’s a real role model for all young girls.
I would like to re-post this, just so you haven’t forgotten about it.

@ranlee Lol what made you think I forgot? I’m still waiting for a window to see WW with Atmos before it goes away. Yesterday I was geeking out hard on her theme song with yet another full grown man. He air-guitared big time in the middle of a huge party.
We are fans.
The instrument used was actually electric cello, performed by Tina Guo
