  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    I remember reading somewhere that if you like film-making but can't stand the actial film-making process, then comics/manga is the way to go.

    I always liked Jim Steranko's cinematic take on comics, too...
    ...and any Carl Barks Duck comic for Disney stands tall next to Tintin, as far as great adventures go, as well!
    ( Don Rosa does fine work also...)

    Some Like It Hot ...in my shortlist of all-time favorites. Such a perfect film.

    which means that they are, at this very moment, probably concocting the unnecessary remake with Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher and Shia LaBeouf...
    ...okay throw that tapedeck in the bath, NOW!

  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    I'm flabbergasted (isn't that a splendid word?) that RB and GT should be singled out by other sites, though. However, it's more of the same really, isn't it? All heat and no light.

    ...it's not so much Reading the Maps
    as Spamming the Reds!

    This is what's happened in the US where "permatemps" have sued for employee status and benefits after the fact...

    Hey, us contra-temps will work for barter or worse, unfortunately...

    Does nobody go to work around here?

    as an amateur-crastinator I'm working towards going pro!

    "Tintin books are movies already"

    Hergé (George Remi) says he originally saw the Tintin stories as movies, but could only afford to do them as comics... glad he did!

    Mourning: I've never seen *my* perfect Tarzan movie either...and I've seen them all.

    Now if Jackson could film Nigel Cox's Tarzan Presley as written (and before the US lawyers for Edgar Rice Burroughs came down like a ton of bricks, probably followed by a phalanx from Gracelands) that would be great - Giant wetas and all!


    Bakshi, Baksheesh and other tipping points...
    It was the constant reusing of scenes that got to me in his LOTR animated epic...
    and his version of Robert Crumb's Fritz the Cat felt like Charlie Brown on speed...

  • Hard News: Anatomy of a Shambles,

    New Lynn, Grey Lynn, Crown Lynn...

    I am a CL Clark.

    I remember working at Crown Crystal Glass in
    the '70s in Chch, aaah, nights on the lehr,
    sunrise from the ladder on the chimney stack
    above the hot end... and then I went down
    the road and worked for Wattie's...
    - and now a friend has the Crown Lynn name rights after they came available in the '90s - see Rudolf's (and Robyne's) websites at opshop and Pug design store ...
    - time to think of those Kiwi Christmas presents...
    :- )

    or cut the head off...
