Why I support the WGA Strike

12 de November, 2007

I fully support the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike! As you might know, I am fiercely anti-corporation (unless of course that company’s logo represent Man’s Fall from God’s Grace or can be conveniently turned into a system of labor camps maintained in the Soviet Union from 1930 to 1955 in which many people died, [...]

Transformers

7 de July, 2007

Thousands of nerds cried when it was announced that Michael Bay would be directing the Transformer live action adaptation.

A Swarm Of Angels: movie by committee

I was somewhat dissappointed in the second season box since they were promising a huge load [...]

UPDATE: Chun Li is not asian

…I do think that Biel will get the “Chun Li” offer on the Hyde Park/20th Century Fox adaptation of “Street Fighter.” (Keira Knightley & Jessica Alba already passed)…LatinoReview.com While I know that movie adaptations take certain liberties, changing the race of a character named Chun Li seems particularly boneheaded. It seems they’d rather have Hot Chick [...]
