filkertomYou may remember awhile back, when I linked to a promo poster for a live-action Underdog movie.

rmjwell warns us that there is now a teaser trailer.
Mother of God.
Y'know, I don't expect upper-ups in either the movie or comic businesses to have the slightest clue anymore, really I don't -- witness the bullshit they pulled with Superman Returns, with V For Vendetta and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Elektra, with Infinite Crisis and Civil War and Avengers: Disassembled and Ultimate Whatever and All-Star Batman and Robin and on and on and on. I don't expect them to understand that their lame-ass fanfic "reimagining" of characters just may not be the way to appeal to the fans of those characters, who might possibly expect to see those characters resemble themselves at least a little.
But I really hate that they do all that shit, and then make it look stupid. So stupid that you're embarassed to admit you're a fan of the original.
