Just saw Super. Great movie very nearly ruined by Ellen Page. Thought she was great in Juno but was woefully miscast here.
I actually foud her scenes hard to watch I was cringing so much. I didn’t believe a second of her performance. Not once does her obnoxious laugh ring true. In fact, the room of people I watched it with cheered when she died.
Sure, that character laughing at the guy who just got run over is funny but she just kills it.

I think that’s her character’s whole point; she’s in it for rush of beating people up and playing the hero – she really doesn’t have a mission like Rain Wilson’s character. In other words, she’s trying too hard.
[Wonder how he got rid of the body: dump it at a hospital, shallow grave in a field, what?]
Astor
yeah I was wondering that too!
towards the end they show him and/or his wife watering some of his garden flowers, so I decided to believe he buried her there. I may have dreamed both that scene and my decision to believe that, though…
Blah
a bible man reference, my life is complete!

The black guy from the restaurant was Bubbles from The Wire. You guys haven’t seen the Wire? You have to.

It’d be fucking joyful if they’d review hesher, starring Rayne wilson and Joseph gordon levitt.
I recently saw Hesher, & it was one of the most realistic, emotionally impacting movies I’ve ever seen.

you people should have done a KickAss-Super-Defendor triple compare and contrast feature.
I think I’d like Defendor more as it takes itself more seriously than Kickass but it’s not as dark as Super (gonna watch it for sure even though it looks real creepy). Anyways the guy with the Watchman dressed up as Captain Hammer is gonna get punched by Hammer, cause Hammer’s a real hero, not a wuss, cause he doesn’t patrol, he punches people in the face, cause… :0_

That guy is one cool dude for being a good Samaritan, Keeps identity secret while making him an icon, having others join him patrolling, have lots of respect for what he’s doing
poopy
Why wont this video work??????????

i disagree with the theme of glorification of violence, as if james gunn was trying to say it was bad. i think james gunn genuinely loves violence and finds it funny. no subtext there. its just gore porn

Was he really a hero though? I mean, he went around cracking people’s skulls based on his own personal morality…we felt sympathetic for him, but wasn’t he more of a super-villain?

pppssst… that’s the point of the movie.

If I’m getting shot at in some alley, I hope some of my friends with their CCPs show up instead of Super Samaritan. I’m pretty sure his phone won’t disable their gun.

Thank you, Patriot. Your check from the NRA is in the mail.

Man. I feel so stung by your witty reply. I now see that my logic was indefensible.
Yawn, idiot.

This is the most confusing gay porn I’ve ever seen. I watched like hours of this stuff so far and I keep waiting for these dudes to fuck but they just keep talking and talking about movies and shit. BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH…. somebody just tell me which episode has the money shots.

Mr. Watchman reveals himself to be not at all the retard you would expect dressed up like that to be. He also does a respectable job with the skit. Well done, Mr. Watchman, well done.

Just watched Super because I saw this episode of halfinthebag. WAY better than Kick Ass imo. I saw Kick Ass first, a while ago, and it was really fun and I enjoyed it. But Super just had much more emotion and deep “messages” contained in it. Rainn Wilson did a great job, and I actually really like Ellen Page. So glad I found out about Super from RedLetterMedia, thanks Jay and Mike !

I really don’t think Ellen Paige was miscast. Some hot chicks are actually enthusiastic/knowledgeable about comics and I’ve MET women who work in comic book stores that behave like a (less homicidal) version of her.
SmarterThanYou
Ellen Paige isn’t hot. She’s just a walking piece of dog crap.

You sound cultured and not at all bitter!
SmarterThanYou
I am cultured and not bitter. Good job at noticing. You sound like an idiot, though.

You’re so smart! Sarcasm just doesn’t affect you! I guess it’s your deflective asshole shield that makes you impervious to logical debate and shutting the fuck up. Goddamn dipshit.
