So... 24 huh?... Not quite sure how I feel about that.  In some ways, I've set milestones for myself this year.  I started living on my own, began working to support myself, and managed to come a lot closer to choosing my path.  I've got lots of great friends and a lot going for me...

Of course it is sad to know that someone who's books did dominate a large portion of my life in High School, but I have to wonder about how this will effect his ( Read more... )

Or did some producer just tell you you were making a movie about a comic book, which you found to be far to original to merit faithful production?
