What would your dream sequel be?? Let us know in the comments below!! - Фільми й анімація
I completely agree about DC needing to diversify. I remember the Justice League TV series where Batman was brooding, Wonder Woman was like Thor in her misunderstanding of our world, and Superman was Mr. Positivity. When Superman died and Batman visited the grave "you taught me justice didn't always need to come from the shadows" what a powerful moment that DC will never get if they make all their characters act the same and unfortunately they now have to reverse Superman's character to fit that scenario after MoS.
You can do it DC just embrace the diversity in personalities!
I loved that show.
Exactly, when everyone in the Justice League Hall or whatever is called are all laughing and smiling you'll see Batman in the corner with his "muh parents" expression
"In order for a superhero movie to be realistic, the main character needs to brood throughout the whole thing, and God forbid if he ever even smiles" -DC Comics.
Big Boss, since you remembered the JLU series, do you remember how Clark was _before_ he became Superman and just found out who he was and then as full on Clark Kent, reporter in the big city? Now think about the mid point of MOS and the veeeeeeery end scene. _That's_ how I see it, and yes, I could be very wrong, but it's still just wait and see.
They have gone and said shazam is going to be a more light hearted film. So I would guess not all the doc movies are going to be the dark and gritty it just looks like it is right now. I'm pretty sure as we get closer to these films releases we find out the all have their own tone.
Patton Oswalt should play MODOK in the MCU!
Oh, I don't watch AOS so I forgot.
***** Thank you. I knew his face from somewhere but I couldn't figure out where. He's the agents that are triplets... or something, right?
Wats aos
Peter kid Mcgrath agents of shield
@1maenad yes
Good choice but I am hell bent on Raine Wilson playing MODOK. I mean, look at the guy.
Patton Oswalt is freakin' awesome! You guys should have him on Movie Fights sometime.
that defly would be great
more yes!
more approval from me!
Yes and YES!
Patton Oswalt would be amazing.
Put him on movie fights
yasss
He would destroy everyone in Movie Fights, it wouldn't even be fair!
Bradley J. Timm Dan is pretty knowledgeable about film and it's not just about the knowledge, but about being good at arguing. I do feel, though, that they would be way too nice to him since he's famous.
Agreed, make this happen Screen Junkies!
Wow if he was on, I'd bet every dollar I own on him. The man is a legend in movie fandom
I agree with Patton Oswalt. Everything in DC Cinematic Universe so far, seems too dark and brooding. And this is a fear that I have with Batman V Superman. These two guys are supposed to be opposites of each other, even down to their gene (literally). Batman has no powers, Superman virtually has all the powers. Batman operates from the shadows, Superman operates out in the daylight. Batman is brooding and dark, Superman is upbeat and happy. Having these two personalities is suppose to be a conflict. If you just have dark and brooding vs dark and brooding it'll get boring.
Okay, the Christopher Nolan series of Dark Knight movies made Batman dark and brooding and it was very successful. Doesn't mean that you make all the superheroes dark and brooding.
Superman isn't really happy, he's optimistic, bold and pretty solemn but he's not like really cheery all the time. Look at MoS. Under the gritty atmosphere and surroundings, Superman is still very much like Clark Kent, he's still "ever the boy scout" as Batman put it once.
They're so much alike that MOS decided at the last minute to have Superman kill Zod just so there'd be a slight difference between the two. (*sigh*)
iHuzza That's the word I was looking for. Optimistic. I just wanted Man of Steel to be a bit more light-hearted I guess. As for the Aqua-Man outfit (I know you didn't mention it), but I quite like it. It kind of modernizes it a bit. Because the classic Aqua-Man outfit probably wouldn't fit on live action.
"Everything"
There has been ONE FUCKING MOVIE.
I think that's what went wrong with Man of Steel. Instead of making a Superman movie they made a... I don't even know what. I just know it wasn't Superman. I feel DC sticking to Nolan's more dark tone of the Dark Knight is a crutch.
Omg Hollywood jus HIRE THIS MAN to develop everything!! Thank you Patton - let's put a kibbosh on the Kubrick stare for superheroes. And no more damn brooding from Superman!
Also - the idea of a series charting the early days of superheroes with the original Sandman, Miss Fury etc would be fantastic! But rather TV series than movies. Make it happen!
He is a big part of the MCU and many other stuff he helps write them (goes over scripts etc).
The reason why Hollywood isn't hiring this guy, it is because he is full of shit, as proven by this video.
HE should be Spiderman.
Show me one instance where SUPERMAN was brooding.
Clark Kent might've brooded because, you know, BULLYING but I had yet to see SUPERMAN brood like Batman does.
Zack Durrandon hmm? he seems to be getting pretty regular work. he's a reoccurring character in Agents of SHIELD, for example.
Patton was totally thinking of The Incredibles 2 when talking about Brad Bird!
WB just seems too afraid to branch out from the proven Batman formula
The fact that The Flash TV series isn't afraid of its goofier aspects and is full-on embracing them is why I prefer the CW-Verse over the Snyder-Verse
HeatForce Superman is ultra goofy! Not with the suit on mind you, but the bumbling, stumbling Clark Kent from little ol' Smallville
I get your point bu the Snyderverse? There's been one movie. I still think there's time to change things there
It also doesn't help that Snyder has always had the "visually gritty but shallow" style for his movies.
Probably why MoS is split. He's a very much a like/dislike kind of director.
If people want visually stunning, he's great, but if people want good storytelling, he's not so great.
To each their own, and yes, because of MoS it will be sad to see characters like Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman be "gritter" than they need to be.
hardy83 He is visually stunning and he isn't a great storyteller, yes. BUT, he has a new writer this time who I'm pretty sure is a good story teller.
hardy83 Definitely. Watchmen had a terrific story, I thought.
I have to agree with him on the brooding thing. It's fine to be gritty if it fits with the character. Batman, of course he should be like that. It's Batman! But not everyone has to be of the same type. A group works because everyone has a different personality and background. Of course who knows maybe it will all work out nicely for DC. They just have to keep the right characters matched with their respective tones.
FlareKnight And now even Batman is making jokes. In the Justice League Comic-Con Trailer, Batman is joking around. BATMAN. FUCKING BATMAN!!!
2018 oops.
@@thenerdyboii6436 He does it every now and again, thats not really new.
Patton Oswalt is my favorite standup comedian. Please do more with him. He's the best!!!
Patton nailed it with the DC Kubrick stare. Awesome!
Man he was so spot on about Batman V Superman...
Patton should be a contender on Movie Fights! Please make it happen!!
Patton Oswalt on Movie Fights!!!
Patton Oswalt is truly awesome, from his talents as a comedian to being a comicbook/superhero geek as well as his star turn on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. And he's spot on regarding the use of "brooding" in depicting superheroes in film (particularly DC comics based films); not every superhero is meant to be a dark, brooding character with the proverbial [Stanley] Kubrick type stare! LOL! Some originality please! Looking forward to seeing Patton in more superhero fanfare, including more Agents of SHIELD! Awesome question & answer segment with Patton! Encore!
Patton Oswalt is awesome, bring him back on here whenever you can.
"Spider-Man 2" isn't my choice but it's definitely a good choice that I immensely respect. It's story of a man who loses everything and goes off the rails is so tragic and well-told. People love "The Dark Knight" for The Joker but Dr. Octupus brought that level of gravitas to a villain four years prior. There have been so many superhero movies that have come out over the past fifteen years yet somehow "Spider-Man 2" is one of the FEW movies to portray a truly memerorable villain.
Patton Oswalt's rant on DC nowadays was so dead-on.
I love these Patton Oswalt interviews! He knows his lore and his movies. I hope to see more and now I am going to check out the book.
I swear I fell in love with Patton Oswald over and over again while watching this video. He literally, said everything I believe in. I love you know Oswald, you are my God.
He is so right. Can you imagine emo flash? Geeez
Every heard of what actors are supposed to do? Act. Flash will not be emo in the movie. Lol
Exactly. If you watch this kid in an interview you will want to punch him in the face.
People didn't seem to mind "emo" Green Arrow, who was nothing like his comics counterpart.
Ezra miller would make a good Black Lantern Flash
I hope DC doesn't rename themselves as EC - "Emo Comics"
Best superhero movie of this century? Either Dark Knight or Avengers.
The Dark Knight isnt a superhero movie.
***** it will it will
Odysseas R you're right. it's a masterpiece.
andre brito if by masterpiece u mean overrated the yes. It is.
Odysseas R oh god here we go
Thank you Hal for having Patton on the show (twice!!) my "snobby" movie moment happened while waiting for Kingsman to begin, the ad for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 played. My soul cried that this was made, but the audience COULD NOT GET ENOUGH they actually sighed when it ended. As if there was more to give. And, time will tell about that film, I realized I did not get what the people like. Lesson learned.
Bring Patton back for movie fights! He'd probably love to be there
This guy is the man
Get Patton Oswalt on Movie Fights !!!!!!!!!
Why is this not longer? Pat Oswald is the man! Dude this interview was awesome, it's totally shoulda wait longer either way thank you screen junkies for entertaining me again.
I could listen to Patton Oswalt talk about marvel, DC, star wars, and other timeless movies allllll freaking day. Love this man🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
This was brilliant! Superman, Batman & Wonder Women 'look like 3 goths in a candle store!' XD Patton Oswalt on Movie Fights! Do it!
Can someone tell Hal you can workout other parts of your body other than your biceps...
what a weird comment.
Hal should do a drum battle against Aquaman
This. This is why I fucking love Patton Oswalt. He is 100% right about DC and their fucking movies. Fuck that Aquaman look. LOVE YOU PAT.
Man, i liked this guy on TV, but i didn't know he was so cool and into things like Comicbooks/Movies. Awesome!
We have DC in the duck world too. It means duck's clothes, which is stupid because we are naked.
Best Superhero movie of this century is The Avengers without a doubt
Nope.
Avengers
Absolutely!
good joke
NAh it's the dark knight without a doubt, see my review for it on my channel.
I love that the lesson Oswald teaches about snobby movie watching was taught during The Replacement Killers.
Patton is my favorite human being. I wish he had a major consulting role in the comic book movie/TV universe.
I think Patton would be a good penguin
Awesome episode. My favorite so far. Patton is a fantastic guest and Hal did a great job interviewing him. I'd love to see Patton on more episodes discussing Comics and Cinema with other guests as well.
Patton Oswalt is this generation's Danny DeVito: Originally seen as short round funny guy, but actually a superior actor. Thank you, Patton, for sharing your insights in this two-parter. I'm now even more impressed with you.
I enjoyed Henry Cavill's performance in man of steel.
Agent Koenig...
Wow. So smart. Loved this episode more than just about anything else. Brilliant insightful and funny. Patton is a genius. Please make this q and a with him a regular feature.
We all love you very much, Patton! Please stay strong, keep working hard, & maintain your excellent comedy!
In my eyes, Andrew Garfield _is_ Peter Parker just as much as RDJ is Tony Stark.
Agreed. I really wish he and Emma were given better scripts. They were great and I wish the movies had been as great.
He's not that great a Peter. Imo neither version was accurate though. Garfield kept stuttering like a crack head, while Toby kept crying. constantly. So I'm glad they are going with a new actor. just my opinion though, to each their own.
LOL yes he did. There are at least 3 scenes where he sounds like a crackhead. Look up the scene where he first discovers his powers, when he asks Gwen out, and when he tries to reveal his secret identity to Gwen.
jigyoda a) Not how most nerds act
b) Don't act like I'm wrong just because you can't remember the scenes I'm talking about.
+jigyoda "I'm right, and even if I'm wrong, I'm STILL right."
Best superhero movie of this century is The Incredibles.
Batman being the only brooding one? That is surely pure genius! That really was like a wake up call to me - it makes so much sense.
Loved Pattons work on Agents of SHIELD! You made a brilliant Billy, Eric, and Sam Koenig!
Flash and Green Lantern should be funny
Very happy to hear that Patton is a Matrix Trilogy fan. Everybody is a hater when it comes to the Matrix Trilogy because they can't form their own opinions and like to jump on the anti-Matrix bandwagon.
There's a reason why that bandwagon exists. The Matrix was amazing, Reloaded was meh, and Revolutions was god awful friendo
Curtis Harris I will give you Revolutions as being the worst film but as a whole the Trilogy was fresh. Hollywood could use originality on the levels of the Matrix again. But too bad they're only concerned with superhero movies.
That's so true. Unfortunately originality tends to be box office poison
Curtis Harris Just out of curiosity, why do you personally not like the Matrix sequels? I'm trying to see if I'm too biased in favor of them lol
I personally don't like the sequels because they were unable to deliver on what made The Matrix so great. When I was a kid, I watched all three movies. I was too young to understand the philosophical nuances of each movie, so I mainly watched them for the action set pieces. However, while I can re-watch The Matrix now that I'm older and appreciate it for its themes and messages in addition to the action, the only things I can still appreciate from the sequels are their action set pieces. The sequels are just sort of a mess story-wise. At this point, I can still watch The Matrix and Reloaded (I love the highway chase scene) but I don't even bother with Revolutions. That being said its cool if you love the movies, there are much worse trilogies lmao
I picked up Patton's book today, based solely on this interview. What a fun dude to chat with. I hope you guys can get him on more often. Can't wait to read the book.
Great interview from Patton as usual. I like the Screen Junkies plug he made near the end, ha!
Dear Patton Oswalt. Please check out the main posters for every Marvel Studios movie hen get back to me.
The internet needs less picking and choosing like generalization and more accurate observations. Thor poster, The hulk poster, The first Avengers poster, The winter soldier poster, Ironman 3 poster, hell even avengers. The only one ever with the smiles was Guardians. Or am I wrong? Yes some dc marketing art with serious vs brooding faces and presto, marvel fans with the hypocrisy.
Patton said #bewbs!
Hear hear!!!
That Spider-Man movie with doc oc has always been my favorite.
Patton, thanks for cheering me up on surgery day! You always make me smile no matter how much I hurt!
Those are My thoughts about DC to, the only movie they have announce that I am looking forward to is Suicide Squad, there the only ones that I am ok with seeing dark and broody in. They rest are gothic shells of what they should be. Also I am tried of Batman.
what Patton says is wrong, when comics first started with every hero, they were bright, colorful and chummy. But times change and characters adapt to the times their written in. So what am I mussing ? What is everybody complaining about?
To add a last statement to my point, people who complain about man of steel need to realize that it was supermans first time being the hero, he's not perfect right out of the gate, and he needed this experience to become the true superman we know from the comics and why he will fight harder so that he'll never have to kill again.
No matter what era, each characters had a different personality and attitude. Superman from the 30's to now was always a symbol of hope and Batman was always using fear and intimidation gainst its foes. You have to keep each characters individuality and its the clash between those different opinions thats interesting. You can have a dark story with an upbeat character. Its the setup that changes, not the core of the character, and when it happens its terrible (just look at New 52 Superman).
See now that's what I'm trying to say, you took the words right out of my mouth. Man of steel was Clarks first run at being superman, so I don't think it's fair to say that he's not the supes we look up to, cause again it's his first run at it, he'll get better at it. And characters like Wonderwoman and Aquaman..... I don't know what to say about them because I became familiar with them in The Justice League cartoons, and while I know that early versions of Aquaman had him as more of a joke character, he's been taken a lot more seriously ever since his reimagining in the 90's. I trust Zac & his team to handle these characters with respect and love, MOS might have been better to a lot of people of they didn't compare it to the Christopher Reeves superman.
Bless this man to the highest heaven!! You can have Oswalt on the show again and again!!!!
Gosh Patton made SUCH good points about the Justice League!
Majority of idiots say MoS was gritty and all that bullshit but fail to mention how MoS wonderfully depicted an alien-turned-superhero dealing with his inner conflict. Some people make fun of Clark for crying at the end but how many superhero movies managed to showcase the consequences of a superhero killing a villain when it is not in his right to do so? Especially when the villain is the last of the superhero's kind and the superhero does not want to kill him.
I just don't get why the puny humans didn't run from the eyebeams but instead crouched up against a pillar all a-scared. Supes could have at least yelled at those idiots to run.
singedrac That was pretty stupid I agree, but that doesn't mean the entire film was bad like a lot of others are saying. I think the problem is that so many people want a different Superman that no matter what MoS did, people were gonna hate on it.
Calum Houston Well I didn't say the entire film was worthless, but that bit rubbed me in an irritating way.
Calum Houston when perry white put more effort in saving people than superman its a bad superman movie
Bruno Mendes Perry White wasn't fighting a Kryptonian who was trying to enact genocide on an entire species. Try again.
Justice League movie will probably just be Dead Parents League.
What a great interview! Thank you Screen Junkies and Oswalt!
I love how on point Patton is, really smart and funny guy
He lose me with the andrew garfield being a good Spider-man, but then he win me again with the DC comics being gritty just for the sake of being gritty, and then i decided im gonna start a religion for him when he said Spider-man 2 is the best superhero movie
Cause he is. He is way to cocky to be Peter Parker, he is the same idiot prick he started being in the first movie, he's on a fucking skateboard that is like the most antithesis thing peter would ever do, he never grew or mature, or learn nothing! He ends up being the same dick we started with! Uncle Ben is dead? Well i better start seeking for vengeance with no end and never learn shit about the whole "with great power comes great responsability" that defines who i am and the reason i became the masked vigilante known as Spider-Man! Who's got time for that?! Also, leaving Aunt May alone so he can go to london to bang Gwen Stacy day and night? Thats not the peter parker i know, the guilt of being the reason she doesn´t have a husband anymore would never let him think of doing that, not even contemplate that option. You probably gonna tell me he's is more faithful to the material, cause he is funny and have webshooters, hes not, he's humor ( on TAS) is complety out of character, and in TAS2 is also out of character and just over the top in a baaaad way. The webshooters are overly design, they look like tamagochis attached to his gloves. Fuck Emma stone as Gwen Stacy as well, i mean Kristen Dunst is awful, but Emma Stone doesnt play Gwen, she play a blonde version of herself. And the weight Webb gives to the romantic scenes is AWFUL, they kill the movies pace. Sally FIeld is the most hideous Aunt May they could find, Electro is a shit, Green Goblin as well, Rhino is just horrible and the lizard looks like a fucking goomba from the Super Mario Bros movie, and if you say that he look like that cause is how Steve DItko concieved the character, that's bullshit, in that case Tobey's Chubby Spider-Man is better just cause Romita Sr. drew him that way, and he is considered the greatest Spidey artist.
:D
Pablo Tejada
so in one hand you complain he doesn't "mature or learn" and in the other you claim he should never leave aunt may and go to london because the guilt would "never let him think of doing that"
so you want him to mature and become an adult but you want him to be a man child forever
Cut DC a break. I think people just want to hate on DC, no matter what they do.
My earliest memory of the DC vs. Marvel rivalry was Marvel being praised for being so gritty and edgy and "realistic", so much so that even its brightest-colored hero -- Spiderman -- fails to save his girlfriend, fails to save his girlfriend's father, fails to save his uncle, and is almost always neurotic. Meanwhile DC is criticized for being corny and naively optimistic and having too-perfect characters who almost never fail.
Now people are complaining that DC is too serious and Superman's not perfect enough, and why can't they be more like Marvel's happy fun-time superheroes who crack a joke after they crash a giant alien into a train station, or level a small town in new mexico, or blow a hole through a guy's chest aboard air force one, or fucking kill lots and lots of people in WW2?
Whatever, man. Just let them do their shit and judge each movie by its own merits, without bringing in tribalism, ad hominems, and instant-cook buzzword criticisms into the review. I loved The Avengers, I also loved Man of Steel. I didn't love Green Lantern and i marginally liked Iron Man 2. I hated Ghost Rider and Batman and Robin. I hated X-men Origins Wolverine but liked The Wolverine.
You don't have to define yourself in boxes. I love Marvel but I don't want everything to look like Marvel. And in a world where the marvel movies are a bit lacking in that "edginess" their comics are known for, I'm glad DC's filling that in for me.
Same here... I love both DC and MARVEL and I'm so happy that I can see my faves in this movies ...I really love the old Supes movies, but for me Man of steel is the best Superman film so far. Not a perfect movie, but a great origin film. Lot of people expect him to be perfect all the time..that is superboring...He has no experience in that movie and yet defeated Zod and his army with some human help. People forgive a lot of things to the Avengers movie (and MCU) and meanwhale hate the MoS? WTF is going on? Zod could beat that chituri army alone etc. Also that film gave me hope, He was a believable character, and He saved Earth, but not saved everybody... I was glad to see that. Kal-el was not just a sketch in MoS. What He did in the end was okay for me also... "I love Marvel but I don't want everything to look like Marvel" ...exactly...I think DC has a harder job, because characters like Batman or Superman has a bigger cinematic or tv history then all the Avengers. And too nostalgic fans are the worst ... I really enjoy the lighthearted MCU movies, but I always want more ...and DC give it to us, If they would be funny like MCU people would say They copying MARVEL so lame duh and I will be angry too because I always expect more from DC...well different things. At least they trying... Best comicbook movies (in my opinion): Watchmen, TDK, Blade, X-men and MoS..so yeah...I don't always want some full of oneliners funthing... I was happy when I read your comment...so I felt I need to reply it...sorry for the mistakes my native language is not english obviously :)
Patton is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. I've never witnessed an actor/comedian wax hypothetical on original ideas about projects. And though not a criticism, I have to say that I'm a big fan and worry about how tired he looks.
Whatever is causing that I hope that it doesn't affect his health and I hope that he has enough success to where he feels he can throttle back and take a vacation.
He has a solid mind and seems to have a good heart. Health and Happiness Bro.
Thanks for sharing the interview and congrats on an excellent choice.
PATTON needs to be a regular!!! He is awesome. !!! It's like fantasy football but with a nerdy movie comic book fan base twist.. love this. Keep them coming. . making my brain hurt another day. Smh
I'm sick of this BS about DC ! its like a trend to hate on DC nowadays. As long as they dont butcher the lore it's ok to be gritty because it is the SAME UNIVERSE. And how the hell is arrow a good show ? it's just a batman rip off! and btw green arrow is always cracking jokes in the comics
Wait...you yell at Oswalt for "hating on DC," and then turn around and bash "Arrow," which he thought was terrific?
i'm sorry but i have seen 3 seasons of arrow and its terrible (and i can go into details) but he has seen 1 character and is already bitching about characters he havent even seen yet
I love Patton, he always makes so much sense of things
Patton on every episode! The world demands it!
Really great interview. Patton was a blast!
So I've always liked Patton Oswalt. When he mentioned he would love to play Arturo from Geek Love, I fell in love. A perfect book and a damn DAMN perfect role for him. Someone make this movie happen!!
That Terminator/Robo Cop/Matrix Crossover: TAKE MY MONEY
LOVE Patton!! Hope he becomes a regular on the show!!!
Patton is such a great speaker. Professional, knows how to phrase things diplomatically, and of course backed with a huge wealth of knowledge about the subject.
Always awesome seeing Patton Oswalt on shows like this. Definitely should have him on Movie Fights next time!!!!!!
OH MAN I saw The Replacement Killers on opening night when I was in college and they showed a trailer for Wild Things too. Interesting thing about that night, because IIRC it was Chow Yun Fat's first "American" film, is that like 90% of the people in the theater were ethnic Chinese. They were so pumped that they cheered him out loud like a dozen times. The atmosphere was positively electric.
Wow so awesome that he came to the show twice. Hope he's a Screen Junkies regular. Absolutely loved how he talked about Spiderman 2 (one of my all-time favorites). Definitely looking to get that book
Can we have Patton Oswalt every week? These episodes are amazing!
You're awesome Patton. And RIGHT ON about the brooding!!
Screen Junkies as the avenger characters in the background is awesome. Mundy as hulk is perfect.
Patton Oswalt is the best, he just keeps popping up everywhere. I remember reading the Criminal comics and they had people do little reviews of Noir films at the back, and it's fucking Patton Oswalt picking out his favorite crime movies. He just pops up everywhere, I don't expect him.
Nice interview. Thanks to all involved and their efforts to produce the show. Regards from Dallas. :)
My question was answered at 6:02!!! Thank you so much Screen Junkies and thank you so much Patton!!! :)
Patton Oswalt is so awesome, and yes his filibuster on Parks and Rec is absolutely hilarious, you have to watch the full-length uncut version of that scene tho, they really trim it down in the actual episode
He should be on more. Really funny and has a lot of interesting stuff to say. Nice one Patton!
As if there needed to be another reason for this man to be so awesome! Thank you Patton, not everything has to be dark and gritty!!!!
Kinda missed Pat on Agents... so here he is. This is awesome!
Patton was channeling his inner Mundy there for a second on his DC rant... lol
Patton is a mix of genius and madness. Love him!
Do whatever you have to do to get Patton Oswalt to be a permanent part of Screen Junkies. What ever favors are necessary...
I nominate Patton Ozwalt for King of Geek Awesomeness! DC, do yourselves and the fan world a favor, either hire this guy or listen to his advice! I can tell he knows what he's talking about. Thank you! Less brooding, more happy! And PLEASE, PLEASE make Wonder Woman awesome. PLEASE!
patton oswalt for movie fights, MAKE IT HAPPEN
A Patton Oswalt visit should be an annual event.
Just make Patton Oswalt one of the regulars on the show. He is literally the OG screen junkie
Best Patton Oswalt perfomance: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Todd Mahal
In regards to the gritty reboot, Patton, THANK YOU! I've never heard it so succinctly put. Don't make gritty reboots out of material that is bright, colorful and hopeful.
Patton is an awesome dude! Someone should give him the opportunity to wright and direct a big block buster movie
Love Patton Oswalt talking about movies, should be more on. In fact just give Patton Oswalt a podcast talking about movies. Does he already have one, I don't know.
LOL Quint from Jaws!!!
