If Aquaman was a real movie, directed by James Cameron, and starring Vinnie Chase or whatver, Adrian Greiner, would you pay to see it? I would definately, and think they should actually, with the fans it would have built in, actually make this movie.

i'd check it out just cause i like most comic book movies but aquaman is nowhere near the fan base or popularity of spiderman, superman or batman and would most likely go the way of catwoman, daredevil, and elektra<img height="100" src="http://home.comcast.net/~bob80/RFnetCougarJake13.jpg" width="300" border="0" />

Only if Black Manta is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson.

I'll watch, if they promise not to have a cheesy cameo by Patrick Duffy. I won't pay for it, though. It's HBO for me.

When I was still reading comics regularly (several years ago), DC was doing a great job developing Aquaman; among other things, his "bionic" hand could morph into multiple weapons/tools, he was becoming a solid political/diplomatic figure, and they revealed that Aquaman could use his telepathy to screw with the primal center of an opponent's brain while fighting.  Good stuff! The general public usually discounts Aquaman's substantial strength and resilience.  He really is a formidable combatant in or out of the water.If they took the Aquaman movie seriously and worked to solidify his character,I would definitely see it.<img src="http://img311.imageshack.us/img311/715/aquaman20atlantis20risen3qt.gif" border="0" /><a href="http://img311.imageshack.us/img311/715/aquaman20atlantis20risen3qt.gif"></a>Sorry, bad pic link - new one created

Basically the main part is assuming Vincent Chase was playing Aquaman, and James Cameron was directing it, would you see it. The biggest part is james cameron. That alone would make me see any action movie

yes.  that scene where he is going to jump off the pier because the tidal wave is coming....looked pretty cool.  i thought right at that moment, “wow you know i think i would like to see this in real life”.

That alone would make me see any action movie   I will go see anything that Cameron directs. He hasn't made anything (Well, Theatrical Films) since Titanic.I've just been catching up on Entourage (Watched the 1st 2 seasons and 3 episode of Season 3 over the past week, I still need to catch last night's) Have we seen much of Vincent's acting beside the end of Queens Blvd and the running toward the wave scene in Aquaman? I'm wondering if Vincent's hair turns blond underwater (or why they didn't go with the long hair, beard version of Aquaman, that was sweet!)<strike>Is there an Entourage thread?</strike>nevermind, Found it.

Awesome... <table class="blog-table" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0"><tr class="blog-header" valign="top"><td>"Aquaman" Joke Lands Newsman in Hot Water <div /></td></tr><tr class="blog-body" valign="top"><td>Joe Kernen of CNBC's Squawk Box raised some eyebrows when he reported, with a straight face and no winking aside, that Pirates of the Caribbean 2's box-office haul bested the record held by "Aquaman" — a reference to an Entourage storyline in which Vince Chase's blockbuster beat Spider-Man's record opening. A CNBC spokesperson tells the New York Daily News that Kernen, of course, was "totally kidding." <div /></td></tr></table>  Personally, I'd give him a raise.
