Stuff I'm looking forward to in 2012

Yes, even a grumpy old man like me can look forward to things! Sadly, most are sequels or known properties. I'd like to be looking forward to stuff I've never seen before, but I don't know about it yet. Oh well ( Read more... )

tv, movies, animation

You forgot the next G.I. Joe movie, now with more ninjas and G.I. Joeness!

Yeah, I forgot it. That's what happened!

You also forgot the next season of Futurama.

I didn't put most new seasons up! There might even be a new seasons of The Venture Bros., for all I know!

Yeah, sometimes movies deal with similar themes or plots. That doesn't make them bad. It is all in the execution.

People were accusing Avatar of being like Dances With Wolves, but that movie was based on a real phenomenon referred to as "going native." Avatar was stealing from reality! Damn you, James Cameron!

Likewise, Brave just deals with themes of sexism in tradition -- something I'm sure many young women can be interested in! it's another timeless theme, unfortunately. When I wrote about stupid people winning, I should have mentioned female authors having to use male pen names (or reducing their first names to initials) to sell their books. Fortunately that doesn't happen much anymore, I don't think. Er, I think that's a tangent, so bye!
