A thoughtful sound

Sean McKeever announced in a message forum post last night that he is leaving “Teen Titans” with May’s issue #71. I didn't like McKeever's Titans much. I might pick it back up, depending on who pick it up.

Brett Ratner seems to think all of the good comic book characters have already been adapted into movies. Way to go Brett. “I was so upset when I left ‘Superman,’” said Ratner. "Singer has his ‘X-Men,’ Nolan has ‘Batman‘ — there’s nothing left. ‘Hulk‘ has been exploited already. There’s nothing left for me.”

The first review I've seen of the new Muppets movie script is positive.

It was announced today that Disney/Pixar's Up will premiere in Digital 3D as the opening night movie at this year's Cannes Film Festival in Digital 3D, even. This will be the first time an animated movie has opened the festival.

The live action Green Lantern movie will officially begin shooting in mid-September. We must be closing in on casting btu I haven't heard anything official.

For today and today only, there is a 10th anniversay Farscape shirt on sale here: http://www.zazzle.com/farscape. I'm actually tempted by this. Because I really like the quote they put on the front.

So Ratner will stop making superhero movies? This is bad why? :)

As for McKeever, GOOD. I was waiting for the Mckeever who wrote SMLMJ to appear, but instead we got the OMG DARK GORE BLOOD DEATH McKeever.

It's taking every ounce of willpower right now not to hit ComicBloc and post to the thread, 'Yo, DC? Nicieza's RIGHT FREAKING THERE! Don't screw it up.'

If I thought it would help.

Ratner's a moron - even a non-comic geek like me can come up with a pile of good comic movies:

Green Arrow / Hawkeye (you could only do one)
A metric FUCKTON of x-men related Marvel characters (Cable, Mystique, Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, etc...)
Wonder Woman (is there one in the works?)
Luke Cage (Sweet Jiminy Christmas!)
Flash
Sandman
and more I'm sure.

WW is supposedly in the works but that's been on and off like a million times now.

Yeah. He's a moron. He also thought that there was no way anyone could do Iron Man as a movie.

I am sooooo tempted by that t-shirt. If I still am when I get home from practice, I may have to buy it.
