[versus]

I wouldn't say that the versus movies are necessarily proof that we have run out of movie ideas... though i'm not disagreeing with that belief... because it rather seems to be true.

However, in the case of versus movies, I recall thinking way back how cool it would be to see certain people go up against other people... I don't know about you all, but back in school we used to do it all the time whenever we would compare our favorite superheros, and sometimes even our favorite movies...

of course, usually that line of thinking was saved for comic books and cartoons... but still...

The whole wave of Versus movies is part that, and part the whole wave effect that Hollywood always seems to see. When Matrix came out, there was Thirteenth Floor. When Twister came out, there were a shitload of TV specials about Tornadoes. When Tombstone came out, there was that Kevin Costner one... what the hell was it called... damn. Either way... its just a thing.

I wonder what 2005 will bring. I'm going out on a limb and saying that the blockbuster summer will see a theme of cartoons to movies... starting with the long anticipated Simpsons movie... that will suck but people will see.

(Note: there is no Simpsons movie planned that I know of, this was more just one of my random and often wrong predictions for the future... so all you people who went to Google and typed in Simpsons movie and ended up here at our lovely site... HAHAHAH you suck!)
