I watched other people watch The Watchmen


D.C. Comics announced prequels to the Watchmen, about the adventures of the heroes before the events of the Watchmen. I feel that since Darby (http://darby-harn.blogspot.com/) and Ben (http://thegbew.blogspot.com/) had their thoughts, I will throw my in. I think is a thing to make money and that D.C. has no more ideas left. The Watchmen was a corner stone in the comic/Super Hero genre...and that D.C. decides to go back and do prequels for watchmen, I think it underlines what Moore/Gibbons did and I didn't think that people was demanding watchmen prequels. D.C. needs to come up with new ideas or their ship will sink to the bottom.

To quote Alan Moore

"I tend to take this latest development as a kind of eager confirmation that they are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago."

He continued, "I don't want money. What I want is for this not to happen. As far as I know, there weren't that many prequels or sequels to Moby Dick."

Marvel is tapped out

This April, The Avengers and the X-Men—the two most popular franchises in comics history—go to war! Marvel is proud to announce AVENGERS VS X-MEN, a landmark 12-issue pop culture event bringing together the world’s greatest super heroes—Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Magneto and more—for an unforgettable battle beginning in April 2012.

AVENGERS VS X-MEN is written by a team of the top-selling authors in the comic book industry today: Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction. This unprecedented assembly of acclaimed writers is joined by a trio of the industry’s superstar artists: John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert. The Avengers and X-Men have learned that the all-powerful embodiment of both death and rebirth known as the Phoenix Force is on a crash course for Earth…and it needs a new host to unleash its immeasurable power. But what is the shocking decision tied to the Phoenix’s return that will pit the Avengers against the X-Men? And when good friends become bitter enemies, what does this mean for the future of the Marvel Universe?

Marvel is running out of ideas...big time.

Old 12 Back display...Now you don't see these anymore

When did NBC become FOX ?




NBC announced that the hit show Community will not be in the Mid-season line-up on Thursday (being replaced by 30 Rock) and saying that they will film the rest of season 3 and air them at a later date.  We are know this is the sign of cancelation…It happen to Family Guy, happen to Futurama, happen to Arrested Development (I know those shows returned or returning) and it will happen to Community.  It is only the few shows I watch on TV and NBC puts this shit.  Not a happy camper…NBC is the opposite of Batman.  #communitylives

I don't remember it that way.



Let’s talk a new trailer I saw the other day called Snow White and the Huntsman…Well, the first impression I get is Lord of the Rings…seriously the trailer’s opening is exactly what the Lord of the Rings prologue starts at has an ancient battle long ago, it so Lord of the Rings.  This movie would have interesting twisted tale of Snow White if it wasn’t for Kristin Stewart…She fucking awful actress and not pretty at all, the actress got her big frame with the Twilight saga (sorry excuse for vampire story telling that I am not getting into…yet.).  The only reason they cast her was to make money off her frame and fanbase from the Twilight saga.  Now the story, when I was a kid I remember the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs animated film  from Walt Disney…which is based on the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales  which is closer to that story than the abomination called Snow White and the Huntsman and it doesn’t even have the seven dwarfs in it and if they put in the credits story based on Grimm’s Tales..They be lying.   I am all for changing up a classic tale but calling it a updated tale of Snow White…Going a bit too far and on top of that there is another Snow White movie coming out with Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen and Lily Collins as Snow White, I don’t much after that but at least they have the seven dwarfs in it.  So in conclusion I only have seen the trailer and I know it going to be a big pile of shit.
