    The boys hits amazon prime in a few months. If that’s anything like the graphic novels it’s going to be ace.

    The Incredibles was a perfect film, and the best Fantastic Four film as well.

    I was lucky enough to meet Dave Stevens (the creator of The Rocketeer) at a comic convention in the early 90's.  He was a lovely bloke.  He did me a little sketch of the iconic Rocketeer helmet and we spoke about the film.  He said he was happy with it, but disappointed that it had been not that well received by audiences - or the critics.  I told him I'd loved it and was looking forward to a sequel!  He said that would never happen in his lifetime.  Sadly, he was right...
    Not much of the gear, even less idea.

    Rocketeer was Steven Spielberg I think, great movie. 
    I thought the watchmen movie was ambitious but it didn't really work. One of the best parts of the graphic novel is the second story about the ship. If they can manage to get that in there it could be very cool. It could even be as an Anime section like the Kill Bill o ren backstory

    Tales of the black freighter was done as an animation to go with the film. I have it somewhere.

    The Rocketeer was definitely directed by Joe Johnston.

    Tales Of The Black Freighter was available separately, but some lucky souls have got the Watchmen Ultimate Edition DVD, where the animation is weaved into the movie. I'd like to say I'm one of those people - but I'm not.  :'(

    I bought the American 4K release just to get the Ultimate Edition and I still haven't watched it yet.
