OH, HELL YES. AND HELL NO, SNYDER, FOR YOUR SILK SPECTRE.

Obama has appointed Samantha Power to the post of Senior Director of Multi-lateral Affairs at the National Security Council.

YES.

I have about ten thousand words I could type about this (and I may elect to do that next week), but it is sufficient to say that Power wrote one of the most rigorous analyses of American foreign policy and the ( Read more... )

Me, I haven't given a fart in a high wind about Total Film in nearly a decade, back when Chris Gore was still on the staff. That magazine somehow manages to make Entertainment Weekly look professional, and lower than that I can't get.

(By the way, speaking of GL, you might want to look at some recent LOLPlants. You'll boogie 'til you puke.)

GUY! AND A CTHULHU'S HAND CITRUS FRUIT YELLOW LANTERN MONSTER!

:-D

"Guess what, Guy? In this issue of the Sinestro Corps crossover, you're fighting a space fruit."

YATTERMAN! FUCK YEAH!

I considered renting Miike's version of Ichi the Killer, but then realized that I was probably in for a brutal gore fest (given the source material), so I never did. Have you seen it?

goneformofman January 31 2009, 00:20:18 UTC

Yup. It's a brutal gore fest :)

All right, granted, Total Film obviously knows fuck all about Watchmen if they are calling the characters in the story "Watchmen,"

Actually? As far as I've gathered, for the film they renamed The Crime Busters to The Watchmen.

Because audiences are stupid.

Also, wait what?

Reimagine The Thing? But... the John Carpenter movie is brilliant. WTF.

I LOVED Carpenter's The Thing. What a claustrophobic masterpiece of creeping horror. Moore's version is apparently a prequel with the Norwegians that originally found the thing's crashed ship. I bet he takes a tip from Danny Boy and writes it in Norwegian and we get to watch it in subtitles.

kali921 January 31 2009, 00:09:54 UTC

Yeah, I've gathered that the Crime Busters are now the Watchmen, because goodness knows we can't leave ANYTHING up to chance with American viewers.

I'm just hoping the A-Team movie ends up better than the KR series.

kali921 January 31 2009, 01:28:10 UTC

I think we can safely say that there's a good chance that it will be. My opinion of the new KR series really couldn't go any lower at this point.

backtothelight January 31 2009, 01:32:05 UTC

In it's defense, it's getting better. Or at least they're trying and it's working decently well. Still not great but slowly improving.

I still think they offed the wrong characters.

mercuryeric January 31 2009, 01:24:38 UTC

I'm sad they'd never make the most perfect A-Team movie imaginable.

It's the sequel to THREE KINGS. Clooney is basically Hannibal; Ice Cube (or T, or whoever the hell it was) is B.A., Wahlberg can be Murdoch, crazed after the torture he endured in Iraqi hands.

Add Katee Sackhoff as the new "Face" and it's a no-brainer.

:)

Heh.

...That...that would WORK. I'd PAY to see it. I'd pay lots and lots of money to see it!
