Stuff and things...
Jan. 15th, 2007 09:50 amMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) announced today the extension of the hit "Stargate SG-1" franchise with two movies based on the popular series. Titled "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" and "Stargate: Continuum", the movies will both be made available to the television universe and home entertainment marketplace by MGM.
ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson said the net would run all 22 episodes of "Lost" straight through next year, perhaps starting in midseason (a la "24"). There is also talk of the show being only 7 seasons long (again).
And I'm sort of grumpy at DC right now. You had 52 going for... well... 52 weeks. A whole year. And you're going to tell a story of a WWIII in the last three? And supliment your story telling with other comics because you can't fit it all into those last three weeks? For the most part, I've enjoyed 52 but this seems... sloppy. It makes me think about the things![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mightygodking has been writing about comics and proffessionalism and how people should be able to put a freaking comic book out on time. I must admit that some of the comics that come out the least often are the ones that I like the most (Astonishing X-men, Planetary...) but in other cases, it is just freaking annoying. I like the current run of Green Lantern but I'm starting to get to the point where I don't know if I like it enough for the time it takes for it to come out. I like the Corps book more, to be honest.
In a time where I'm seriously thinking of dropping titles again... Well, it starts to make clear what I'm more likely to drop from what I read. There is a lot of it these days. If I'm picking up books and I'm not reading them in my first of second bunch of "MUST FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS", I'm likely just stuck in my 'but I have them all since the first one' pack rat mentality. I can probably cut a small ton of those. 5 or 6 at least. (And honestly, the new JLA is really likely to be on that list at the moment...)
Strangely enough, this makes me want to ask - for those of you who read comics out there, is there anything you think I should be reading that I might not be?
