Quit trying to live up to your username, and actually read other people's comments.
I know COMPREHENSION gets in the way of pre-programmed snark, but it might prevent you from looking lamer than the people you're trying to mock.

It's more depressing that one genre dominates a medium full of infinite possibilities.

Hey, some stuff just doesn't translate, and you gotta change it.
Just don't piss on it because you think it's beneath you, because you WON'T end up with a good movie that way.
It's the old comedian's rule: Never tell a joke that YOU don't find funny, because you'll botch the delivery.

I take the simple attitude that, if you're going to butcher the source material, you'd better produce a good steak when you're finished.

He seems to be PROUD of not giving a fuck about comic books. He very much wants you to know he thinks he's above this stuff.
Which is kind of a dickish attitude for someone who's being paid a fortune to be in movies based on them… but frankly, I respect that more than the celebrities who pretend to be "huge lifelong…

But a depressingly small portion of the crowd at these things actually READ comics anymore. They're fans of big-budget Hollywood movies and TV shows, some of which feature characters who originated in comic books.
For this crowd, the ONLY reason to look at comics at ALL is to try and get "spoilers" for the movies.

LOOK OUT ROB ZOMBIE!

To be fair, there were seeds planted for her transformation in that whole "pining for Tom Skerrit" thing early on.
It would have been interesting if they could have actually used that more consistently: kept her steely efficent and smarter than everyone as a businesswoman, but with a disasterous personal life.
It…

No, he stole them from Richard Matheson's novel I AM LEGEND.

Yeah. It's not fair, but there it is.

The interesting thing about the original CONAN was that Milius was obviously trying to get a "real" performance out of him (the current DVD includes a scene cut out from the theatrical release that's just him and Gerry Lopez preparing for battle, and it's surprisingly naturalistic.)
The secret to Schwarzenegger…

yes; Joel Silver discovered the studio was fasttracking an adaptation because it was "like DIE HARD", and suggested that they just eliminate the middleman.

Or you announce "I'll raise taxes on The Rich!" and then DON'T do it.

It's a silly version of Doonesbury (and I don't mean that as an insult).
Trudeau's stuff has a bit of a bite to it; but Breathed can't resist a goofy sight gag. (that said, they're often very FUNNY sight gags.)

"If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners.”
― Berkeley Breathed

well, he USED to call himself a libertarian… but libertarianism ain't what it used to be these days.

Lord knows that the guy who openly admits stealing the idea for THE WALKING DEAD straight from George Romero should be careful about protecting his "ownership" of his "original ideas".

Fellini might be a better comparison, in that there's an army of imitators and wannabes, but none could ever TRULY be confused with The Thing Itself.

yep. Maybe more later, too.

Sam Raimi and George Miller: doing a real good job of convincing me that awesome is sustainable.
