Dwayne McDuffie R.I.P, TV Misc, Drive Angry 3D
Last Thursday Dwayne McDuffie did the panel at the Paley Center for Media for “All Star Superman”, the animated movie that he wrote with work adapted from Grant Morrison’s comic of the same name. Sunday was Dwayne’s 51st birthday (though some sources say he turned 49). Monday he went in for surgery. Tuesday he passed away from complications from the surgery, which was the same day “All Star Superman” was released. Wednesday he was to be on hand at Golden Apple’s Reggie Hudlin celebration/mixer/signing for Reggie’s website “Reggie’s World”. Instead the last hour of the signing/mixer served as a memorial for Dwayne.
I wish I could say when I was at the panel for “All Star Superman” I knew the enormity of McDuffie’s work. I had seen the name, but on the comics, it’s just a series of stacked names. I wasn’t sure if he was the writer, the inker, the colorist or whoever. I had no idea he wrote for “Justice League Unlimited”, “Ben 10” and was the creator of “Static Shock”, the co-founder of Milestone Media. What I did notice that night was a feeling of familiarity. And I thought, “Have I seen him in an interview before? Have I seen him at Comic Con?” I thought maybe he reminded me of a family friend because of his height and build.
Dwayne with Andrea Romano
But by the end of the night I figured it out. I was responding to the way he spoke of the work. It’s the same thing I loved about Andrea Romano at the first panel I saw her (for “Superman/Batman:Apocolypse”), what made me love Mairzee Almas (from her commentary of SV’s “Identity”). I love people who can lovingly describe things they are passionate about. He wasn’t trying to sell the DVD, he was just articulating the process in a very thoughtful and smart way. It wasn’t like someone like Bruce Timm or Quentin Tarantino who are selling themselves first IMO (“Aren’t I so witty and edgy and sharp to get this done this way?”) and the byproduct is selling their wares. McDuffie’ interest was the work. And it is in his explaining his craft and how he culled from Morrison’s work that you get the sense of the respect and passion he brings to his projects.
When I read of McDuffie’s death I immediately began reading everything…nearly everything because he was so loved and respected I can’t get through all the posts… that people have wrote of him and the words create a picture of a man who inspired countless people; not only through his work but of his philosophy of not just waiting for someone to create characters to represent minorities, but to be a creator.
There’s an internal memo from his days with Marvel that’s circulating where he issued a tongue-in-cheek approach to counter Marvel’s depiction of their African American characters.
But to me, the best is this video where McDuffie challenges the readers on their attitude and racial paranoia of POC characters in their beloved comics.
"The quota argument on fictional teams crack me up."
And this one, The parakeet metaphor
I went to the memorial and Reggie and McDuffie’s cofounder of Milestone, Denys Cowan spoke, as well as a guy whose name I didn’t catch and a family friend of McDuffie’s who came out on behalf of the family. It felt so good to be around his fans. It’s a shame I was really late in discovering the full breadth of his work. I only just found out that he wrote the JLA stories of 2009 where Black Canary because leader of the JLA (he was fired before the end of the run due to his frankness over the confines of not having the characters he needed). The thing about reading about his frustration is that he made lemonade from lemons. I had no idea there were behind the scenes issues but what he did was continue to tell a story using what he could and it was seamless. It felt like this was the slate he wanted to use. There was nothing lackluster about the writing as if it was a chore having to use characters he didn’t want to use.
Reggie and Dennis’voices cracked and wavered as they reminisced over Dwayne, but the family’s friend broke my heart. I don’t know how he continued speaking through his tears. He said that when “Green Lantern” comes out in theaters this year there will be a generation of people who will say, “That’s not Green Lantern.” It was McDuffie who was able to push John Stewart (aka, the Black Green Lantern. Phil LaMarr who voiced John Stewart was also there.) into the forefront with “Justice League Unlimited”.
He spoke of his kindness and intellect. He went on to say that in knowing Dwayne’s mother she always talked about his love of reading. He said he didn’t want to appear to push his work, but asked that people buy books and read more and read to their kids and open their imagination as Dwayne had.
The man whose name I didn’t catch talked about a meeting at Warner Bros. where one of the execs marveled at McDuffie’s skill at finding the voices of any character he took on. “He can write for “Scooby Doo” and “Batman”!” He said that when McDuffie moved to L.A from the East Coast he didn’t know how to drive so he would drive Dwayne around. McDuffie needed to find a barber shop so his friend took him to his.
Dwayne’s Friend: “I get my hair cut in the ‘hood. It’s the same barber I went to when I was living in the ‘hood, it’s the same one I go to even when I moved to Beverly Hills. On the ride there I had to let him know “There’s a protocol and a pecking order (in the barbershop). You have to know what you’re talking about and who you are talking to. Say the wrong thing and guns come out.” He walked in, sat in the first chair and said to the room, “What are we talking about?” He was the smartest man I’ve ever known. His death is a loss..not just a loss, there is a hole in the planet that he has left behind.”
He talked of he and Dwayne getting into a fight when Milestone demised, “over some stupid stuff. I can’t say punches were thrown because Dwayne’s six-foot fifty and if he had punched me I’d still be passed out.” But when they say each other a few months later they hugged and it was like nothing happened, “Because that’s how family do.”
At the end of the memorial, just like at the end of every post on McDuffie there was a call for people to follow in his path and create and be advocate for diversity and catalyst for change.
~From someone inspiring to something insipid.
Let’s get this out of the way: it’s ridiculous. It’s really, super duper ridiculous, but that is the beauty of “Drive Angry: 3D (don’t forget the 3D).”
I loved this movie. It’s bad, yes. But it’s purposely bad unlike the accidentally bad like the recent string of Nicolas Cage films. It’s a pulpy B movie like “Grindhouse”, “From Dusk Til Dawn” and “Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight” (or “Tales from the Crypt” in general).
Cage stars as Winston, a man who is searching for a baby kidnapped by cult leader Jonah King (Billy Burke), part cajun talking Jim Jones, part Neil Diamond. Winston solicits a ride from Piper (Amber Heard) for his mission and as the two chases down King and his cult members, they’re being chased by The Accountant (William Fichtner).
We have Nic Cage who lives off of hair dye and chewing scenery. You have Billy Burke who must’ve felt that he had to up the off-the-wall ante opposite Cage. Then you have Bill Fichtner who stole the show with the LOOKS he throws. People may just think of him as Mahone from “Prison Break”, but he’s extremely adept at comedy (the officer trying to seduce Jay Mohr in “Go”, the dandy detective in “What’s the Worse That Can Happen?” and the perfectionist dad in “Blades of Glory”-it was the premiere and Jon Heder was there to support Fichtner).
The cast and the writers/director
Nic's oldest son Weston who has a song in the film
It’s directed by Patrick Lussier who directed Jensen “Fatty” A(rbu)ckles “My Bloody Valentine”, “Red Eye” and simply, “The Eye” and cowritten by Lussier and Todd Farmer, who plays Amber Heard’s boyfriend in the film (which is why he’s terrible because he’s not an actor) created rapid, crazy paced action. The movie didn’t need to be in 3D, but to me it’s not supposed to be “Avatar” 3D, but the old fashioned red and blue glasses that don’t seem to work 3D to add to the rambunctious grindhouse vibe of the film. Matter of fact, just when I thought, “Hey, it’s been like, 30 minutes without any 3D, a lone 3D leaf blew across the screen.
It has grisly scenes and gratuitous nudity thrown in because it’s not a low grade B movie until you throw in female nudity unnecessarily. Despite the unnecessary nudity (really, it’s oh so unnecessary) it’s a fun film. And Fichtner is perfect.
I didn’t bring my camera because it was the Arclight and I felt it was better to play it safe because usually they don’t let you bring cameras/camera phones in (“The Mechanic” screening) and sometimes they do “Never Back Down”, “Takers” premieres). This was a Summit film so I should’ve known they’d be lax, but nooooo. I only saw Nic when he took his seat (close to the exit, with his beaming wife by his side. There was a procession of folks shaking his hand as they passed by him. It was like a receiving line. I only saw Amber Heard when she took her seat (with her lovely girlfriend who wore a big black hat which I’m sure thrilled the people who were seated behind her). But saw Fichtner in the lobby afterward as he took pictures and talked with fans. I didn’t see his wife but it seems his “date” was his best friend Kim Coates (who looked like he came straight from the set of “The Sons of Anarchy”). When they were leaving, Kim and the people who were with them headed for the bathroom and Fichtner stopped and asked, “Are we all doing this?” They continued walking so he shrugged and followed them to the bathroom.
The film won’t win any Oscars, but I don’t think it’ll win any Razzies either if people take it in the spirit it’s intended.
~I watch other shows besides “Smallville” you know,
“Community”. This show gets better and better. It’s a hackneyed concept: disparate personalities thrown together, but what is unique is that the premise has morphed into a show that is genius at tackling other genres. The zombie Halloween ep, the action film/paintball fight ep, the documentary/Modern Family ep and the fantasy/Dungeon and Dragons ep.
There was a minor change in the Valentine’s Day episode that I noticed. Jeff’s voiceover doesn’t match up to the closed captioning. I wonder why the last minute change to the script.
Televised V.O
It might not shock you guys to hear the real reason we had a fight today. It wasn’t about the Barenaked Ladies-although I do have some unresolved issues there. Caring about a person can be scary. Caring about six peoples can be an embarrassing and horrifying nightmare…at least for me. But if I can’t say it today when can I say it? I love you guys.
Oh, and Pierce, take it from an expert-these knuckleheads are right outside your heart; let them in. Before it’s too late.
Captioned V.O
I’m sending this to the six of you Relationships can be scary and they can give people power over your life and I don’t give up power easily. And if anyone earned it, it’s the six of you. And I owe it to you to tell you, I love you guys. Oh, and Pierce, first thing Monday we’ve got to sit down as a group--You know why. Because we care. Happy Valentine’s Day.
With them shooting on the same lot as “Glee”, maybe they can do the teen drama ep?
I want to snuggle up with Donald.
*Gillian is poised to become my new fashion fave. I love her simple taste.
I’m not buying her as the sexpot though
Some behind-the-scenes pics
The men in GQ
In the same issue was:
The men of HBO’s “Treme”
The men of “Mad Men”
The men of “Friday Night Lights”
The boys of “The Vampire Diaries”
The trio of hotties (plus Tristan Wilds) Michael Trevino, Mehcad Brooks and Jesse Williams
*Still watching and loving “90210” although I don’t know why a show that already underuses the regulars (Dixon and Navid) why they always bring on scores of other characters (Liam’s brother, Annie’s cousin, surfer chick and her mom, Annie’s nerdling object of affection). In a way it makes sense since everyone in the regular cast has already hooked up and you need to bring outsiders in instead of playing musical chairs, but Navid never gets a storyline and he’s being pushed aside for the Annie/Annie’s cousin “Single White Female” storyline.
I like how they’re developing the Teddy storyline. It was really sweet of the guys to try to understand him by taking him to a gay bar (with Navid and Dixon loving it) and his upcoming romance with Mateo ( it was a very sweet scene where the two meet).
I am loving Silver with her Mama Hen ways and as much as I hate Adriana Tate Duncan, her fame whoring is too on-the-nose to hate. You can’t talk about Beverly Hills and Hollywood, especially young people in Beverly Hills without talking about the stars in their eyes and quest for fame by hook or by crook.
~Another show I love is Showtime’s “Shameless” starring William Macy as Frank Gallagher, unrepentant alcoholic, politically incorrect father of five who has ceded the run of the house to his oldest daughter Fiona (Emily Rossum). So used to being the provider and tending to the needs of her siblings-who with the exception of baby Liam-are all juvenile delinquents that she has a hard time being vulnerable to her boyfriend, Steve who is a criminal, not exactly white collar..maybe grey collar criminal.
Everyone’s wonderful in the show but especially Macy and Joan Cusack who plays his girlfriend and mother of the girlfriend of his eldest son. She’s an agoraphobic non-evil Martha Stewart with a heart of gold and kink. It’s a great role for Joan who is so skilled at playing befuddled characters.
What I love about the show, besides how funny it is and how great the characters are, but that it’s very rare to see poor people on TV. TV either shows people destitute and homeless but rarely (at least since after “Roseanne” do they show the hustle that people have to make. This isn’t a question of “ I can’t afford these nice shoes” it’s “I can’t afford to pay the water bill.” It shows not just Fiona struggle but how that also trickles down on the kids where they have to pay contribute to the household. Something very real that amazingly has rarely been shown in TV or film.
Also great is Shanola Hampton and “Reba”s Steve Howey as their neighbors Veronica and Frank who are now finally getting their backstories fleshed out.
