Am I right about the pessimism?
You are right to be pessemistic
COOMERS DETECTED
No, about Garth Ennis's comics being very pessimistic in tone?
oh fuck yes
I've read his run on Dan Dare, so I'd like a point of reference.
I mean for fucks sake what that man did with his back story characters
John Custer, father of Jesse custer, the preacher
his wasn't a happy ending
in fact that whole plantation community story was a fucking chilling bayou horror story
like Deliverance but unconcerned with movie rating dogma
What has he written besides The Boys and Preacher?
well, The punisher, but who hasn't
Presumably you guys read actual books too though right?
Yes.
yeah
The weeb test
how is it weeb if we're discussing western comics?
I am too hard on them as I have an eclectic taste that is probably the best in the world if I do say so myself
I can walk it and talk it
judge dredd comics
Yes
god, where did I leave off
First point
I'm more of a Ballad of Halo Jones or Nemesis The Warlock guy myself.
2000AD had a good run
its still going
So is the simpsons
And that had max 9 seasons of greatness
Yeah. Over 40 years and over 2100 issues, and it's STILL going.
The Simpsons? Yeah.
Quality > Quantity
Agreed.
fuck, I have to charge the tablet I've crammed full of judge dredd
The simpsons becoming shit is a big part of my life
I think a lot hinges on it
reading block mania and apocalypse wars for the first time was great
40k is basically 2000 AD: THE BOARD GAME.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With some Dune and Foundation sprinkled on top.
I am not feeling Dune. Maybe I should rewatch as was very young when saw. Was their a RTS Dune game?
Read the book. The movie is shit.
The TV miniseries from sy-fy is OK, though.
no doubt everyone's heard the story of Jodorowsky's Dune
I will get book. Perhaps have not given fair shake due to movie aethstetic
You know he actually got Orson Wells to play the Baron?
Yup.
Isn't Jodorowsky the Incal guy?
he pulled it off by meeting him in a restaurant and just telling him straight "if you do this role for me, I'll hire the chef of this place to cook all of your meals"
Didn't Jodorowsky collaborate with Moebius for The Incal?
Oh jeeziz
not ringing a bell
but suffice to say the project and the man were just ahead of their time
no studio would take them on, they were fuck-scared of him
In other words they were using psychedelics
of course nowadays studios will just let fucking anything happen
Moebius. French comic artist. He worked on The Incal with Alejandro Jodorowsky. The Incal is one of the main inspirations behind the Fifth Element.
ah, well there you go
yeah, imagine fifth element production resources and studios behind a dune production
Yeah, imagine...
Need new stories. Everything is a remake
I want a shade's children movie god damn it
I wouldn't mind it as an Adult Swim series, if I'm to be honest.
or no, wait, an HBO series
Cannot reinvent the wheel. I understand that Dune might well be good candidate for rehaul
New stories? OK. Read a lot, then throw all your influences together into one big pot, and make a stew.
Constantine show needs to come back, too
I reckon next big thing will be GRRM "WildCards" and TV adaptation of Joe Abercombie First Law Trilogy
no fucking reason that should have been cancelled
I was more of a rhetorical observation
Star Wars = Flash Gordon + Buck Rogers + Foundation + Lensman + Dune + Campbell's monomyth + John Carter of Mars + several other things besides.
Famou for its 'originality'.
You see my point about influences?
with some Japanese and WW2 influences
Yes thankyou for the explanation of an amalgamative process
That too. Forgot about the Kurosawa stuff. Sorry.
Darth Vader being based on a Samurai, for instance
they mention that in a movie
not sure the name of it tho
because it involves some kid who shrinks down to the size of a bug (and enters some magical world?) via telescope or some shit
Yes. C3PO and R2D2 are based on the bickering peasants from Hidden Fortress.
ah right, found the series
the movie in particular
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFHAEv-Czh8
This is the scene in question
Oh yeah. Aren't the Arthur movies directed by Luc Besson?
ye
I wont lie this is definitely me
islam is right about women.
islam is right about gays.
