Argh. Whedon off Wonder Woman
Feb 02For whatever reason, Warner Brothers has bought a World War 2 based Wonder Woman movie, scripted by a freshly minted background actor and a personal assistant on the set of Beerfest.
Whedon confirms he’s off the movie as writer/director. And yet again, we can blame Joel Silver (even if he isn’t planning to direct.)
DC should pull a Blue Beetle on that guy. Don’t worry, he won’t know what that means.
Truly: W. T. F.
Feb 01This whole Boston Aqua Teen Hunger Force thing just pisses me OFF.
1) Why the FUCK are they arresting the lowly freelancers hired to execute this marketing campaign??? First off, arrest the COMPANY that was HIRED to do it. The cushy CEO in his or her big-ass office, preferably. THEN arrest the exec at TBS that approved it. THEN arrest the CEO of TBS, for allowing this to happen. But the freelance artists? Come ON. That just SUCKS and smacks of stupidity.
2) Did NO ONE in the fucking POLICE DEPARTMENT think to do ANY research before shutting down the fucking CITY?! Again: Come ON. It displays blinking lights of a cartoon character FLIPPING YOU THE BIRD. Is there ANY precedent for this level of wackiness in past terrorist activities? Aren’t they too busy, y’know, actually BLOWING SHIT UP to bother with funny logos?
3) This is not, as the Mayor of Boston has said, about “corporate greed.” This is about IDIOTS at the Boston Police Department and in Boston city government making a HUGE mistake and seeking scapegoats. As already pointed out, these scapegoats are FREELANCE ARTISTS.
Goddamnit, I hate America.
It's just like being concussed!

Bitchin' On Fell
Jan 26In the category of “cool news I will bitch about anyway,” Fell will be traded in April, at $14.99.
Here’s the bitching: Too bad this forward-thinking series when it comes to content and price point is slipping out at a very traditional trade price, which is actually three bucks MORE than it would have been to buy the individual issues.
What about a manga-sized digest version for $7.99? Or would it cannibalize sales of the singles?
Or, don’t trade it. Just keep every issue in print. Except then, you lose the mythical “casual Borders reader” audience.
Eh.
