The mass of superhero movies that range from pleasantly predictable (even when great) to dark and gritty end up creating space for this movie to feel like a cool middle alternative.Matt Lintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633393626021227127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-90687220755219214172019-04-15T12:10:40.343-05:002019-04-15T12:10:40.343-05:00I did!

I watched it back when it came out (spread over 3 days, on my laptop) and don't remember anything about it. But Ang Lee? I think I'll rewatch it just so I can finally listen to the Blank Cheque episode.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-12658040867363579582019-04-11T18:35:22.865-05:002019-04-11T18:35:22.865-05:00Is there not a scene where the Phantom conjures up...Is there not a scene where the Phantom conjures up a titty bar out of nowhere?Brian Sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15266020828208581370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-91024866677799840742019-04-11T17:36:39.743-05:002019-04-11T17:36:39.743-05:00I can't honestly say I thought it was going to...I can't honestly say I thought it was going to be big, but I remember seeing ads in comic books for The Meteor Man back in '93 and not expecting it to do as poorly as it did (made $8 million on a budget of $30 million).<br /><br />I do have a soft spot for songs that have the movie name in the title, and this brought us "Ain't Nobody Bad (Like Meteor Man)" so there's that at least.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129602094443434975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-18286564226151457652019-04-11T17:21:51.552-05:002019-04-11T17:21:51.552-05:00How in the world did 90s audiences not want to &qu...How in the world did 90s audiences not want to "SLAM EVIL!" with Billy Zane?

I didn't include it here because I had a sense it wasn't going to make a lot of money when it was released. <br /><br />If you liked The Rocketeer, you should really see The Phantom. It has a similar vibe.

I thought it was the best thing ever. America at large did not agree. Also, I never saw it either. So theres that. <br /><br />And The Rocketeer is hands down the best Disney movie of the 90s.
