Maybe they'll get Britney Spears to play Buffy!

 Old joke for the JW Buffy fans.  (But it's the name I'm going to use for my next City of Heroes character!)

 They have a writer, no director, and they're in Hollywood.    Chances of filming frame one of any film at all at this point are probably less than 5%.   

 They should go ask that girl from the Scooby Doo movie what she thinks about the idea.

Jim, you're like the Roger Ebert of comic books.    In a good way.   And more entertaining.

I say he didn't die; he teleported a clone of himself into that arm.   It's about time he found some heretofore unknown abilities.   I mean, he never got the 'power corrupts; absolute blah blah blah' treatment, did he?

March 31, 2009 7:41 am I kept waiting for the rosy-fingered dawn...   :(

March 3, 2009 4:00 pm Oh, Jim.   You can't fool us; we've learned.   Sure, you'll spice it up for the original release, make it all edgy and gritty.  Then later for the anniversary DVD/BR releases you'll just photoshop guns into cans of silly string, Snuffleupagus will sneeze first, and you'll edit out the muppet-on-muppet cannibalism.

Someone mentioned this to me a while ago... possibly you, even.  So I made the mistake of looking it up on Wikipedia.   The recap was mesmerizing, I couldn't hardly wait to read the next paragraph's summary of 4 comic books.  I zoomed through it, and as I went, I was continually more and more horrified.  Thre paragraphs in and I knew there was no way I was ever going to read this series, ever.  

If I want to read about people being evil I'll pick up a newspaper and look for police reports.   Otherwise, I prefer my evil rose tinted with a little unbelievability.  Devourers of  worlds, say, rather than next door neighbors.    Or at least if they're going to eat the Jones then they should be dead and brainless.  

October 20, 2008 12:40 pm A-ha!  New article. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing a lot of people writing comments in exactly the style you made mock of.   I'll just give it some time, then.

One damn reference to Robert Louis Stevenson and you put everything in perspective again.    How is one to retain his righteous indignation in the face of that?  Or youthful excitement?

Not to kvetch, but it wasn't the rapine that did him in, so to speak.  It was the cannabalistic afters.   The key was the stains showing up on the dining room table cloth, as I recall.

At least Alan Moore had the, er, good taste,  to wait until Mr. Stevenson had shuffled off his mortal coil.   Possibly until his legacy had passed into the public domain.   Hm.  Perhaps we should all be a little more irritated with Mr. Moore, on Mr. Stevenson's behalf and our own.

Maybe Mr. Moore's just hoping Hollywood will wait a half-a-mo until he dies.

You are an enormous prude. 

And yet I'm still willing to read whatever you write.  I guess I'm just an ignorant and unappreciative bastard.  

I think your reaction to the dead... items in question... on the covers of comic books is only fitting revenge for every movie maker that ruined my bachelorhood movie-going experiences by having babies.   And then immediately started stultifying their work with midget fuzzy wuzzies with spears or photoshopping guns into walkie-talkies.   G-dangit, I didn't have to put up with that crap when I was ten, why do i have to for the sequel years later, or the dvd release?  I turned out fine, didn't i?

 Or wait, maybe I didn't, cause I don't mind seeing dead... things on the covers of comic books.

You were never a pariah, dude.  Except possibly in your own mind - step away from your characters!  

I still await the day H00d stalks the streets of Paragon City again.
