Comic 233 - After Church
Author Notes:
In other news, I see Green Lantern is getting pounded by the critics - even the comic media is ripping it apart. That's a pity, because it's not nearly as bad a film as they make it out to be. I stand by my statements, It's a great GL movie, it's a good comic film, but not a good blockbuster. IT think the biggest disappointment is that for a 300 Million dollar film, we don't realy see that money on the screen. The CGI is subpar in places, the sets aren't that extraordinary, and there's actually too much green screen. It ends up feeling like a direct to video movie than a summer night out at the theatre. Still, I can't elieve that writer Mark Millar called this "The worst superhero film ever". Did he miss Batman and Robin? Perhaps he wasn't aware of the Nick fury movie starring David Hasselhoff? Really? Green Lantern is worse thant the 1990 Captian America???
Hmmmm. I think there's a comic strip in all of this......We'll see what happens Monday.
Anyway, keep making fun of Alan Moore. ^_^
I want to see more DC movies too, though it seems like they are doing in film what they were doing in comics in the 80's. Back then they came up with all of these invoative titles like Watchmen, Hellblazer, Skreemer, Sonic Disrupters, Angel Love and a lot of other stuff that was really pushing the boundries and definitions of what a comic book was. Not to mention things like Dark Knight, the Shadow, Blackhawk and Swamp Thing that redifined how we see these characters. It seems like DC's picking from these triumphs of it's glory days and only willing to turn these kind of things into movies, instead of fresh takes on it's more recognizable characters like Marvel's doing. I'd bet that most people don't realize that half of the movies that DC puts out are comic book properties.
