STEEL was nothin'. You don't know how low 24 Panels will sink until you've walked knee-deep through the swamps of Bywater, Louisiana with your tour guides Dru and David. That's right: on this episode of 24 Panels, it's all about Marvel's oddest oddity, the Sci-Fi Channel original film MAN-THING, directed by Brett "Lawnmower Man" Leonard. Also, we've got the EXCLUSIVE SCOOP on the opening scene for Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! Only on 24 Panels Per Second!

Dave, you ask the question, "Why does this movie exist?" And I will answer you with another question: "Why not?" I imagine it was a cheap to obtain the film rights. I've not seen MAN-THING, nor will I delve any further than the trailer.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the extended opening of GREEN LANTERN is unbelievably bad, and so, so poorly put together.
