Movies... or... not working at work... I need to wake up more.

[lithera]

Wow. Just... Wow. Go look at the pre-production images for the Evangelion movie. If it ends up looking anything like that, I'll be so happy to see it.

Oh no... The things I'm hearing about the new Batman show are not the best. The title thus far? Batman Wired. No. I'm not joking. He's got a suit of battle armor and... Ugh. If they're doing the stuff where he's in the Batman Beyond suit before he gets too old, that /might/ save it, but... I see an Azreal type thing here. And that went /so/ well.

Still looking for a Superman director. Wheeeee.

Firefly fans? Go read this.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.... Mr.Smith and Aragorn.

From the Hollywood Reporter: Twenty years after NBC's hit sci-fi miniseries "V" invaded the small screen, the network is bringing the aliens back with "V: The Second Generation," a three-hour telefilm from the original creator Kenneth Johnson. (Oh goodie. And I'm going to have to watch it. 'Cause I'm a sucker.)

Not reading Episode III news. Not... reading...

More from the Hollywood Reporter: Geoff Stier has joined Valhalla Motion Pictures as a production chief and producer. Stier, who will report directly to company chairman Gale Anne Hurd, will oversee the development and production of the L.A.-based company's slate of film and television projects, including "The Punisher," starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta, and "Aeon Flux," a live-action superheroine project in preproduction at Paramount Pictures.

Hellboy has announced it will be opening Memorial Day 2004.

Go look at the Teen Titans website and tell me how you feel about it. I just watched the 'trailer' and... Ummmm... Wow. So much cheese. Anime cheese... I think I'm going to die.

Trouble, the first new release from Marvel's Epic line may or may not be Peter Parker's parents story... Depending on if fans accept the story. Ummmm. Yeah.

Well.... Sometimes? I don't know. Apparently not. (Maybe Dick Grayson could and Tim Drake can't? Don't know.)

Ok I just upgraded my version of real to watch it and I'm EXTREMELY worried about this. Starfire shreking and saying, "We did it!"?!?!?! Raven firing out balls of some sort of energy?!?!?! It might be enjoyable, but I don't think it will be a cartoon based on the Wolfman/Perez series and that will have to be overcome.

Raven, having seen the bits where she does throw out something, was catully picking up things and throwing them. They turned all black and glowy when she did so. It was really kind of sooky.

In the clips I've seen, she was the part I /liked/.

Everything else... Too... I can't even think of the right words.

It reminds me of the end of the episode of Clerks the Animated Series where the Korean animators have to write the ending.

The era of TT that they're doing is one that was defined by the characters. There were actual personality differences and questionable behaviors that were done in an end justifies the means way (such as Raven making Kid Flash fall in love with her). It was the comic that popularized the A Day in the Life [1] style. It told the tale of teenagers growing up and becoming adults between the fights. It looks like all of that won't be in this series. Instead we're getting... ummmm.... TEEN TITANS!!!

Oh Wonder Girl is missing too. Damn, so much for Who Is Donna Troy and the whole wedding ep (not that they would make a cartoon out of that one).


[1] New Teen Titans #8, noticed the other day when I was packing. I almost stopped packing to read it.

Re:

Well, it isn't going to be the sort of thing where you'd expect that sort of character development. There are very few cartoons out there where I could expect that sort of thing. And it would be something that was shown later in the day than the afternoon.

Well, Donna is going to bite it here soon in the comics. *sigh* Lame. As if any of them needed more trauma.

I thought Batman Beyond had a decent amount of characterization in the space allotted. I don't expect A Day in the Life or anything like that, but I would like to see things like Robin having issues with Starfire's shoot first and figure things out second attitude. Oh well.

And hey, watch out for spoilers there ;) It's just as well with her if that's true though cause post crisis they really wrecked her character.

Re:

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Well, anyone not Jason Todd, trained by Batman would have issues with shoot first ask questions later.

Sorry about that. It's hard for me to call it a spoiler when I've seen message boards dedicated to it and they've foreshadowed it /so/ heavily.

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Yes but I don't think that Starfire will be a hardened warrior from a race that has been fighting wars for years based on her "eek!" ing.

Don't worry about the spoiler; mistakes happen. I tend not to read message boards and stuff for that reason; all I allow myself to read is the issue descriptions on Direct Currents.

Re:

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, if you're gonna have to have a spooky chick, you have to have one girly-girl. *shrugs*

It's in the rules somewhere, I think. Not that I like those rules.

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Well that's what Wonder Girl could have been.

Hey it could be worse; this could be based on the 1960's mod version of the Titans, complete with bad slang ;)
