I know that some of you will argue that there are better films about existentialism and the inevitability of human death than “The Seventh Seal“. You people are wrong. That movie’s great. And more people need to see it so that more people can make fun of it.
As far as “Ghost Rider” is concerned, I’ve never seen it. Don’t have much of an opinion of it. He was one of the Marvel characters that never interested me. Marvel never seemed to do the dark, mysterious/occult comics well. Dr. Strange? Dr. Lame. Ghost Rider? He’s a guy that rides around on a Harley with his head on fire. Mysterio? Guy with a goldfish bowl on his head.

Goldfish on your head…that is dark!!!
How can you not like a guy with a flaming skull for a head? I get not liking the Nicholas Cage part of the equation (truly scary), but a spirit of vengeance with an awesome gravity defying motorcycle?
Oh, please. You expect me to give in to that tired old meme that people with motorcycles are cool? And yeah, that’s right, I used the word “meme”!
Never liked Ghost Rider.
You want dark and avenging–The Crow, Grendel, etc. That stuff is good. Well, maybe not the later Grendel so much. And anything after the original Crow. Hm…. Ghost Rider not looking so bad now…
But Grendel vs. Batman, that stuff was great. Right?
Your kinda right. The comic was awsome, but Nicholas Cage sucks big time. Like always. And @Xeno: The ‘The Crow’ Movies were shitty. The books rocked though.
