...and that's why he's there and we're here. Sittin' here...on a stinkin' keyboard staring at words and images on a stinkin' monitor. Sometimes just working the mouse with one hand while thumbing through our porn collections.

Roland Emmerich totally rocks, I love every movie he made since Stargate and Im sure 10,000 BC is going to be great (it will be released next week where I live) and I dont care if you hate me HIS GODZILLA IT´S THE BEST GODZILLA MOVIE EVER!
And about Wolfgang Petersen, well, one bad movie and people looses faith in him?

this sounds good it can be really good if he puts as much effort into it as blood dimond, nobody even said anything about troy, troy kicked ass from start to end and posiden did suck im glad we all see eye to eye on that.

I don't know about this one.
After Poseidon... I think Wolfgang Peterson is on the brink of making himself in the same level as other German directors who make bad movies... Uwe Boll and Roland Emmerich.

I agree about Perfect Storm, but you gotta admit that Poseidon stunk. Especially with the budget it was given.

eh, everyone is allowed one bad movie, The Perfect Storm was awesome.

Lets hope he can make up for the that disaster of a film, Poseidon.
