So we continue our Bloody Mary month with the delicious addition of horseradish vodka. All good things. The studio is now air conditioned, which is a roundabout way of saying Matt’s cheap ass finally bought an air conditioner for his house. Finally. Seriously, it’s been hot as balls here lately, which just further confirms that MN has the stupidest weather ever, since this is the state that brought you Snowpocalypse only a few months ago.
Matt kicked a fat lady out of his place of employment this week, and also found a new low of epic fail. Salsa, on hte other hand, went to a wedding and got to take a field sobriety test afterwards.
We also talk about root beer and Ray Bradbury, so here’s a video I promised I’d post:
Lastly, we ask the question, “Which so far unproduced comic book movie do you want to see?” Let us know your answers in the comments or by email.
I couldn’t find it again, but there was a video of Ray Bradbury watching this video and chuckling
I’ve seen that too and was gonna post it as well, but I couldn’t find it either.
On your question of comic book property to be optioned…
I was thinking that it would be interesting if someone did Watchmen.
Set in modern time, with the same types of themes, but satirizing modern issues instead of Cold War issues.
This would need to be, at minimum, a mini-series.
I don’t think you can squeeze the depth of this title into a movie, regardless of how long that movie is.
We need layers. And more layers. And mostly overt symbolism.
And some goddamn Black Freighter interspersed with the main plot.
Maybe these pirates can be the computer kind…or at very least Somalians with AK47s…
…this is starting to sound like a stupid idea.
