Between The Staples

Just coming from the DC Nation panel and Kevin Smith came into mention. More coming…

Okay all. I got in and now waiting for the Doctor Who panel. If anyone wants somethund just leave a comment here. Photos will go up tonight as I didn’t get the ready for today.

Alright all this is a test post from my cellphone before the con in the morning.

DC Solits for Oct ‘08 - Sorry that the graphic ain’t that great and that this is a bit rushed. Bad ‘net access, very sun burnt and not in the best of spirits. Found here on CBR:

Maybe it is just the mood I am in but this movie, started great but went from okay to predictable to WTF re: Harvey Dent. Overall I am very MEH on The Dark Knight. If this is the future of comic book movies then please stop now. Let me enjoy the comics as comics, stop with this meh movies. I mean Bale was good, Caine, Freeman, Gyllenhaal and Oldman were great, if Ledger was anything but exceptional then it would have been a major disappointment but to me Aaron Eckhart stole the movie (as I a bigger Two-Face than Joker fan) and it was the ending which reminded me of why I hated the Tim Burton original version of The Batman.

Heads up to Hartley who sent me an early email that the Watchmen trailer for leaked but I think soon after it did, the trailer went up all official on the Apple site here:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/watchmen/

As much as I enjoyed seeing the Owlship come out of the waters in front of downtown Vancouver (then CGI into New York is it?), I couldn’t care for what I saw and it really made me realize that I never wanted to see this comic book series (f***k GRAPHIC NOVEL, I know and understand that it got MUCH more popular via the graphic novel version but that doesn’t mean it EVER WAS ONE TO BEGIN WITH YOU IGNORANT F***KS DC COMICS! Ah hem…) as a movie. It would be like someone making my favorite childhood memory into a movie, it just won’t happen. I was not a fan of the new costumes and I still ain’t. Rorschach (aka The Question), looks far too CLEAN for my likings plus if that is the voice for Rorschach — how LAME, why another Batman/Christan Bale ripe-off (?), Night Owl (aka Blue Beetle) looks like Batman with Hawkman’s headpiece and in shape (WTF!?!?! — Anyone READ the WATCHMEN while making the movie?!), Ozymandias just looks BORING in black & greys plus what he’s all of 16 yrs old (and I mean BORING — like I would prefer the plastic ears of the 80’s Captain America costume compared to that sh*t), Silk Spectre looks frightfully like they really wish they cast ANYONE else, The Comedian (aka Peacemaker) looks like he’s still the only one having fun for the 2 mins he’s in the movie and Jar Jar… I mean Dr. Manhattan (aka Captain Atom) is yet another CGI character in a movie. *YAWN*

Seriously, is anyone excited about this movie? I sure ain’t, I know I will go see it just to be sure how bored I will be but I ain’t excited to see this movie, the trailer or the f***king action figures at SDCC this year at all. Nope.

Now make me The Question movie and I am all over it! Better yet, Ambush Bug!

Oh and here is one other thing that bugs that sh**t outta me while watching this trailer? Why are they not talking about the story itself? Why are not selling the line “Who watches the Watchmen?“. Why tell me, the viewer,  how f***king popular that graphic novel was / is or will be. F***k if I care, tell me about the movie yeah Yahoos! DC gets a FAIL on this marketing attempt!

Now this is how you make a comic book like Invincible come to life on the ‘net and downloadable via iTunes, MTV and other such things. I am sure TONS of work went into making this work out properly, the idea of putting music, voice and then the animation to make a comic book come to life but still look like a comic book is amazing. I am completely floored by this and look forward to the series. Great work on Robert Kirkman’s great comic!

I really should be sleeping but since I am on the phone booking a hotel, here is this…

How is Ambush Bug: Year None #3 not a good cover? No, I got no answer to this, I really don’t know what could be wrong about this cover? It is just great and one reason I would snag it off the shelves so fast it would make yer head spin!

Oh and Keith Giffen talks AB:YN on CBR here:

No comics for me until I hit San Fran, then I hope to hit Isotope Comics for this weekend. Currently in Napa Valley on route to SDCC…

I know this is a few days ago but Hartley is the sh*t! IF I ever could get my poop together, this is what I would want to be doing although I aint sexy enough to be in front of any camera, by any means. So I ain’t and chil’axing in Portland while on route to San Diego for Comic-Con… yeah yeah okay, ’nuff about me, here is Hartley!

Oh and don’t think I always agree with what Hartley mentions — I don’t and that is good ’cause otherwise we would all be Marvel fricken Zombies!
