today is a good day, tomorrow will be better
This is because I am going home tomorrow! I have paid my penance and done three weeks straight at work. Now I can go and enjoy myself at manifest. I won't be doing nearly as much running around at this one as I did at avcon, well unless shino/infinity^2/mark looks like he's about to break in two and needs a hand. The schedule looks pretty all over the shop so I'll be watching the fun unfold. I'll be definetly going to any and every amv orientated event. Also I'll pop into one of the karaoke timeslots and have a bit of a go. It'll be interesting to see what it's like and to belt out a song or two. Might also be interesting to finally make it to one of the madman panels.
I've been reading a bunch of comics jon left on my computer. She-hulk is unmitigated fun. I never thought I'd say that about the green gal. She just screams female tie-in character with no point whatsoever. However, that's not the case here. They've given her an interesting senario to play around in, superhero law. It's an interesting bent on the whole comics world. Focusing on not just beating the big bad but also the consequences.
Who pays for the restoration of the building that was demolished in the struggle? Does insurance even cover it? What are the legal rights of supervillans? Should a teenage female supervillan be incarcarated with older male supervillans? If she was an ordinary teenage girl she certainly wouldn't be imprisoned with significantly older males.
A companies poor chemical storage results in an average joe falling into a tank of radioactive material and becoming faster and stronger. Shouldn't the company pay for damages like with any other industrial accident? So he can get treatment and become *shock* *horror* average again?
To be honest with you I wonder how long the writers can keep this up before falling back into the smash and bash the bad guys storylines that everone is so used to.
Also in other news interesting things have been happening on the youtube front. Apparently Warner Bros has given permission for it's music videos to be available on the tube (for a split of the advertising revenue) and it's allowing people to alter the footage and upload the altered footage to the tube. I'm not sure to what extent they are allowing people to alter the footage or music. Nor have I seen anything other than a couple of news articles on it. Nothing from the horses mouth yet. Still it'll be interesting to watch it unfold. Does this mean amvs/fanvids are slightly less illegal that they were before? Does it even matter? Have I asked engough questions in this post yet?
