“I’m glad Ridley’s connected to it because I know it will be classy,” she said.
I speak with Kurt Larson about Bill Finger, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Alan Moore and why I am not excited about super-hero movies. I also confuse John Broome and Gardner Fox. So sorry.
Biltoo teases the upcoming DVD/Blu-Ray release with the promise of more dialogue between David and the Engineer. “We’re all going to have to wait for the Director’s cut to see if the conversation between the Engineer and David — and there was indeed originally a conversation, not merely an utterance from David — yields any fruit.”

This is a hell of a lot of ass-covering and back-peddling for folks who just don’t want to admit this film was sloppy and unfocused as all hell.
I can’t wait to see the magical DVD that fixes all of the film’s problems and actually delivers on some of Prometheus’ promise.
I feel like I will be waiting a very, very long time.
Marvel Studios is currently taking meetings with writers and directors to work on small scale movies based on some of their third tier characters. The movies would cost in the range of 20 to 40 million dollars (very small when we’re talking studio films) and would allow them to take risks with less obvious characters and with interesting talent.
Filmmakers are being offered their pick of characters whose names are only familiar to comic fans. Properties like Dr. Strange, Ka-Zar, Luke Cage, Dazzler and Power Pack are among the many that are being tossed around right now. And the attitude seems to be that Marvel is open to bringing any of their characters to the screen at the right price point.
Sorry
Okay - the below is depressing. I am having some issues with my back pain today and that always puts me in a bit of a dark spot. Sorry, sorry - we should all expect better from the old man blog.
ComicFlix, a start-up based in San Ramon, California, has developed a technology that can create new comics from video at high speed and low cost. “It really fascinated me that there were so many movies that had been made from graphic novels and comic book characters,” CEO Olyvia Rakshit told ICv2. Seeking a way to take film and television content in the other direction, the company developed “a way to take all these wonderful stories and automatically create graphic novels from them.”
“We have a technology where we can do this in a week,” Rakshit said. “The software takes the video and does a lot of algorithmic and heuristic processing. It gives them a hand-drawn look, and stitches them together into a story. There’s very little human interfacing.” The technology was developed by co-founder and CTO Jeremy Stephens and an offshore development team. While text and art are created by the software, sound effects are not.
I think there is a big difference between being sorry and being sorry you got caught. I have a real problem with bullies. I spent my childhood moving from school to school and I got made fun of everyplace I landed. I feel like Paul is a bully and maybe that’s why I have no sympathy here. Someday every bully meets and even bigger bully and maybe that’s me in this case. It’s the same thing that happened with Jack Thompson. It might not always make the most business sense and it is a policy that has caused us some legal problems, but I really don’t give a shit about that. When these assholes threaten me or Penny Arcade I just laugh. I will personally burn everything I’ve made to the fucking ground if I think I can catch them in the flames.
Gamers have two possible responses to this charge. One is to insist, yet again, that something like Call of Juarez: The Cartel is “just a game” and thus shouldn’t be taken too seriously, which isn’t an argument so much as a refusal to think honestly about the ethical issues that these games provoke. The other, more responsible reply is to contend that games, like movies or books, are perfectly capable of saying something profound and respectful about real conflicts and that, moreover, mainstream America attaches an unfair stigma to the word “game.” After all, when the Iraq-themed “The Hurt Locker” or the cartel-based “Traffic” hit theaters, no one accused them of being exploitative. Why should games be any different?
The new hack class.
Current Hollywood writers/producers/douchebags that are horribly overrated:
1) JJ Abrams
2) Joss Whedon (Please don’t ask me if I have seen Firefly - yes I have)
3) Seth Rogen - NONE OF THIS ASSHOLE’S MOVIES ARE FUNNY - NONE OF THEM!
4) Seth Green - I am not even really sure what this guy does, but Jesus he is unfunny.
Many more soon - but for now that is all.
But can genre movies’ box-office success be replicated on mainstream TV? For the most part, the answer seems to be no. The closest to a genre hit on the big broadcast networks these days is CBS’ hit comedy The Big Bang Theory, which has geek overtones but is broad enough to attract wide audiences. But CBS’ vampire drama Moonlight and horror drama Harper’s Island and ABC’s sci-fi series Flash Forward lasted a season each. The 4 genre dramas on the major broadcast networks right now, Fringe, No Ordinary Family, Human Target and The Event, attract the same average audiences of 5-6 million viewers as cable series The Walking Dead and True Blood. (Fringe’s viewership is even lower, 4.5-5 million and will probably go further down when the show relocates to Fridays
