You’re the guy that wants to see Tom and Martha get shot in an alley for the 10000th time, aren’t you.

OT, but is Adrian Tchaikovsky any good? I’ve been trying to get back into SF for a while now and I figure a nice blood n’ thunder space opera might be the way to go.

It’s not even really a question of canon, but tone. Without that it’s just another superhero movie.

I can’t wait to read their latest books. 

This is a guy who cast his first mainstream movie with Pam Grier and Robert Forster, who studios considered over the hill has-beens in 1997. I really don’t think he cares about big stars or established names. It’s always about the vibe.

From what I remember, Tarantino wanted the kid actors to reprise their characters once they were adults. That was why he always talked about a third movie as being twenty or so years in the future. But a glance at IMDb shows that neither of them have made a movie in a while, though Perla Haney-Jardine played “Hippie…

I’m not saying it has to take up a substantial part of the movie. But I think if you’re trying to establish a new version of the legend, it should be there, even if it’s just taking up a few minutes. It can be concise, it doesn’t have to be like a whole other sci-fi movie jammed into a superhero film.

You kinda need to see it. I don’t want a repeat of the Donner movie where it takes a whole hour to get from Krypton to the Daily Planet, but it seems essential in a way that most other superheroes’ origins aren’t.

During a recent interview with the Flemish newspaper De Morgen (via Deadline), Quentin Tarantino stated he “doesn’t see” himself making a third Kill Bill movie, after all.

It’s safe to assume, as a number of people pointed out on Twitter yesterday, that not devoting the first twenty minutes of your Superman reboot to the destruction of Krypton saves a shit-ton of money.

Is Corporation Wars a letdown? I read the first novel a while back, and remember enjoying it.

It’s an acquired taste. I owned Fleece for maybe 7-8 years before I started to appreciate it. I imagine racing up the PCH at sunrise while listening to “Streets of Arklow” was a factor.

Don’t forget 17 rapid POV cuts on a mundane event like a door closing or putting a pot back in the cabinet.

Fleece is definitely a departure from the signature sound he created with his band in the early ‘70s. I can see why people don’t like it quite as much as the other LPs from that era. But I really like the longer, meditative pieces, and “Bulbs” is a keeper.

I suspect it won’t be a “adaptation” and more like an “inspired by” situation.. Where they will pretty much strip it down to its “bones” and then build on top of it what WILL work for a film. Which is going to piss off the “purists” and religious fundamentalist because it won’t be what they are expecting..

The funny thing is, before the MCU, Stark and Strange were not what you’d call “A-listers.”

While I haven’t ready the books yet, so I can’t compare the books to the TV show, if you want an adaption that is Naria-ish but actually good, The Magicians was really well done. I enjoyed the TV series so much that the book series is on my list of audiobooks to get.

I’d probably put Exile On Main St. at #2. After that, I dunno. Maybe Madvillainy?

The funny thing is, if you listen to the scatting near the end of “Jackie Wilson Said,” it sounds several times like Morrison is saying “Chewbacca.” So maybe Lucas had Saint Dominic’s Preview on a lot while he was writing the early drafts of The Star Wars.

Yes, it’s my all-time favorite album, period.
