They'll be including Tales of the Black Freighter as a DVD extra. I think "Under the Hood" gets a nod on a bookshelf or two.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That'll be a documentary on the DVD, they say.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I saw TDK, there was a new trailer for The Spirit.
It's good to see that Frank Miller is sticking close to the source material, and not letting his own personal issues get in the way. @@

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Right with you there, Tom. We saw the preview and Aims asked why I was rolling my eyes and growling.
My only answer was "Because they gave Will Eisner's brilliant character to Frank Fuck-it-up Miller."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ha! That was pretty much my response, too!

It's a damn shame that Eisner isn't alive to have his name pulled from the credits.

Or just pummel the shit out of Frank Miller.

The mental image that I always get of Frank Miller is -- remember the Simpsons episode where Stan Lee went to the comic shop and kept doing completely unhinged stuff, like shoving a figure of the Hulk into the Batmobile, etc? Like, his whackaloon actions were a caricature of himself?
Yeah. That's pretty much how I view Frank Miller now -- just a caricature of himself -- which pretty much started with All-Star Batman and Robin and the immortal line, "I'm the GODDAMN Batman."
(Although I kind of wanted Christian Bale to say that line in TDK.)

I have the sneaky suspicion that Miller would enjoy that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Miller is like the Chris Carter of comics. He started believing his press, and he won't go away and stop retroactively tainting the stuff he's done that's good-to-great.
