"Capeshooters" sounds a bit interesting, so I hope it'll be good. Singer's going to have to show me something, though. The bad taste from "Superman" hasn't left me yet.

No, somebody's yankin' you.

i hope for his new book that every character is named a mispelled compound word, like "bluudaxe" or "wulfkutt", or the last name of an important person, like "luther king" or "mozart". or, fuck, just a variation on an already established popular character "spydermann" or "kaptain USA"

i hope there are lots of shitty onomatopoeias like "kurgglepap!" or "vixXxen!!"

i hope the depth of the characters go as far as "you are my sister. you are my father. you are my brother...and ENEMY!" and no further.

i hope there are 9 different chromium embossed collectible variant covers for issue #1 (at $7.50 a piece) and then an 8 month lull before issue #2.

i hope everyone wears a solid-colored leotard, tons of pouches, shoulder pads, and has cotton-candy hair.

i hope all of the artists that emulated his "style" (dan fraga, dan panosian, chap yaep) all tag team hiw wife, joy beth kreel.

remember when "doom's IV" (his blatant fantastic four rip-off) was "going to be directed by steven spielberg?" that shit wasn't even written yet, either. still hasn't, as far as i know.

i fucking hate rob liefeld.

honestly, reading brigade or youngblood now is pretty funny. it's awful. awful.

wasn't he supposedly doing an "end of days" comic book with biblical references and religious undertones. talk about fucking torture...rob liefeld's comic book adaptation of the bible.

boo.

Is it real? No. How do I know this? Because I wrote it :P

Yeah, I have way too much time on my hands. Anyone want to be my agent?

i can just imagine the 4 grueling hours of brainstorming to come up with that steaming loaf of a name.

At the very least one of them better be in Halifax so all the people who were actually in it and working on it can go see it.

Barring that, The Locarno Film festival in Switzerland is playing the movie in roughly two weeks. Hopefully it gets some great buzz. It's not in contention but it will be up for a peoples choice award for it's "premiere" as well as some other Variety sponsored award.

And then it will be playing throughout the month at the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany...

I can't remember if I stated it or not, but the actual cost of the film is more than just slightly north of 30mil. It's "official" budget is about 40 million (originaly it was closer to 32million) and final costs are rumored to be about 47 million dollars.

gay men are into men.

pedophiles are into kids.

now, if i were to see what you described, i would run away...because i am a man, and all gay men rape other men.

i read that in the bible.

Do you know what the problem was? Those books were far deeper than I was capable of appreciating. When I was older, and had a broader range of life experience, as well as a knowledge of history and society, I realised why those books are the awesome classics they are.

I respectfully suggest Watchmen is just so frakkin deep for a graphic novel, it's depth currently eludes you.

If 99% of its readers say it's the pinnacle of graphic novels, and you say it isn't, maybe the fault lies not with the stars dear Brutus, but in your self?

Then you just sounded silly.

As for Rob, Youngblood was shit as with most of Image comics during that era Wildcats,Cyberforce and Spawn are ripoffs of Marvel's stuff.Atleast Spawn had a excellent Animated HBO series.(can't say the same for Lee's Wildcats cartoon)Not interested!!

but, he at least understood dynamism, SOME anatomy (took liberties with spiderman), composition, shadow, and architechture. his comics usually had a couple of pages that were original.

rob liefeld is lazy and unoriginal.

to put mcfarlance and liefeld in the same category is wrong.

according to the wiki

sorry to have ruined your life.

i think it's too close to estelle getty's death to go slinging insults.

Sigh...

This project sounds terrible on every level, but Liefeld + Singer is a recipe for awesomely awful.

But when you have a pride parade, and Superman and Batman start making out, you can say, 'Hey, I'm pretty sure Supes and Batman aren't meant to be gay icons in the comics. Here they are being gay.' Fuck you if you're gay and can't stand it when someone says you're fucking gay.

I'm tired of having people say shit like 'How dare you call something gay, it's like saying the n-word or using religious slurs!' when describing something that looks like it should be on the West Hollywood Pride Parade's Grand Marshall float.

Superman wears undies outside of his pants, and that's lame. But when you make them Hanes 'Her Way' boy cut briefs, that's fucking gay. And Superman's costume in Returns is him with tight vinyl clothes, boy cut briefs, a leather fucking cape, and a spit curl. That's guess what? FUCKING GAY! You gonna be gay? Fine! Love cock all day long, and have a cock-chug marathon! But if you tape it, and someone shows it, and I happen to see it, don't get fucking offended when I say 'Wow! Now THAT is fucking GAY.'

Returns was the overhanded expression of Singer's homosexual aesthetic, he felt he had two hits under his belt, fuck art, let's dance. I say, go on with your bad self, but hey, buddy, you made Superman gay.

Liefeld sucks as an artist, and as a storyteller. He's a good premise guy, but shit, his fucking 'art' is painful to fucking watch.

This movie will be gay, because Singer doesn't have any people telling him NO, people will think this is gay. And it will be shitty because Rob Liefeld, since his Levis commercial has been shitty. Shitty and gay. Not gay bashing, but telling it like it is.

Also, gays should be allowed to marry, and as such let me be the first to congratulate Mssrs. Singer and Liefeld. Hee hee hee! (I love juvenile humor.)

And hey, eggsalad, you read my post or you wouldn't have responded to it. So joke's on you, asshole.

Yeah, it kind of does. If Ian McKellan played every role like he was hungry for man parts, that'd make his gayness matter as well. He doesn't though, so it doesn't.

Singer certainly doesn't suck because he's gay. It is unfortunate that he is a sucky director who doesn't like comics but has a lot of power and happens to be gay. His superhero movies are weak because he doesn't appreciate the art form.

The Superman suit is a different matter, however.

This is one instance where Singer's sexuality clearly overpowered his good sense. The SR suit was clearly the gay fantasy version of the classic suit. Superman's outfit is iconic. It has remained (outside of a few "events" to shake up lagging comic sales) essentially unchanged since the creation of the character. The bikini-cut briefs, the leather cape, the angled belt all had an extremely sexualizing effect on Superman's appearance in the film. And I'm sorry, but it made Superman look like a gay man going to a costume party, and not a straight man going out to defend innocents.

There's nothing wrong with a gay lifestyle - but there is something wrong with so sexualizing Superman's appearance that it becomes a distraction to the audience.

It's as if someone decided to make a Wonder Woman movie and replaced her red and gold armored bustier with straight lingerie. It could be argued that the classic Wonder Woman outfit is pretty much lingerie anyways, right? So why not just drop that neckline even lower, push the cleavage up to her neck, and put a little pattern on it that subliminally reminds you of lace? Pretty much the same, right? Wrong. There's a line you can cross there where her look goes from being slightly titillating to flat-out overtly sexualized. It's a line that shouldn't be crossed because as I said, it becomes a distraction.

Fuck, now I wanna watch Master and Commander again.
