Chris Sims got to review the Wonder Woman pilot script. He likes that it dispenses with an origin story; he is much less fond of how many times Kelley makes Diana cry, or the random teenagers she keeps in her basement.
There's a lot of interesting ways those few plot points could go, but this being Kelley, I have faith none of them will ever manifest. This little endeavor may bring about some goodness in settling the "David E. Kelley is a feminist" argument once and for all. I was trying not to pass judgment having not read the script firsthand myself, but honestly, this is one project I was praying never made it onto the screen.
I do hope the forthcoming All-Star Superman DVD retains an aspect of Grant Morrison's original -- an origin of just eight words and one page. I'm not a Superman fan by any stretch of the imagination, but that was easily one of the best (maybe the best) Superman stories ever.
Every time an ARG gets mentioned, I think of the "I Love Bees" one. Not entirely sure how I came across that one, but it was well after completion. It was right around that time though that I started paying attention to Halo lore & fiction. I found ILB genuinely compelling, though I have a feeling that I would have lost patience with it quickly if I'd come across it in media res.
Yeah, the YZ implementation came to us from the same people who brought us "I Love Bees." I find it deeply interesting because it's not quite marketing, it's not quite a 'game,' it's a particular vein of hypertext-driven narrative for which I'm sure someone will cobble up an atrociously embarrassing neologism and we'll all end up using it in five years....
It's also just exciting to see the storytelling unfold in a variety of ways I never would've considered, from the spectrogram on an MP3 to Flash drives found in restrooms to the thermal ink on a real-world CD...that's entirely too clever.
The U.S. government is now a Christian fundamentalist theocracy, maintaining control of the populace through institutions like the Bureau of Morality and the First Evangelical Church of Plano.
Well of COURSE it is! Because everyone who goes to church listens to Glenn Beck.
I am sick and tired of everyone with an axe to grind with something an insensitive church-goer said to them as a little kid 30 years ago growing up and making the whole of the church look like Westboro Baptist crossed with the Illuminati and the Mossad.
You know, I've had that album since time immemorial, but I still haven't seen the mini-film. Should really get around to that...ah, "Heavy Metal Poisoning," indeed....
