Black Swan. Car ballet has been an unexplored concept thus far.

The book of Jumper was completely different, and basically had no real plot, just a guy finding out he could teleport and testing what he could do with it. Then his mom gets killed by plane-hijackers and he starts fighting terrorists, except he keeps foiling entirely unrelated airline hijackers because it was written

Because he's supposed to be a whiny, pathetic bastard in that one. No direction was required.

"We're the Braavosi Mafia… the entire Braavosi Mafia."

They demand to be taken seriously.

Which long-dead author's works would a less pretentious James Franco adapt into mediocre movies instead of Faulkner? My money is on Wilkie Collins.

Infinity Gauntlet: Birdgemic

When I was reading The Wheel of Time it drove me nuts that the characters never communicated effectively with one another, let alone shared the valuable

If Aimee Mann evolved from The Monkees, then why are there still Monkees?

Why does Ant-Man, the smallest yet disproportionately strong Avenger, not simply eat the other 12?

In addition to being outdated, naming the character the Technical Boy stuck out to me as one of Gaiman's Britishisms.

If the War Doctor or any other 'temporary' regeneration was non-white or female while following up with casting a white man as the 'main' Doctor, the fans would have dismissed it as the show doing it as a stunt or a token gesture, or even interpreted it as deliberate mockery of the concept, so I'm not sure that should

Jiminy jilikers!

In the updated continuity, instead of Alfred being a spy or a marine or somesuch before becoming a butler, he worked for the TSA.

Moffat spent years working it into the canon that Time Lords can change gender, and followed through with it with the Master. And one of River's past regenerations was black. And he cast the new companion. The only thing he didn't do was the Doctor and evidently he tried that too.

The media buzz must really get to him.
