Manic Maniac: Mania news with a cynical twist - Jun 12, 2008 - 10:43am
Great points in here. It's funny how Hollyweird beats a subject to death until we literally cant remember it being anything other than trite and derivative. I mean, just look at this summer's blockbusters and think of the similarities with other recent films/ideas: Iron Man - RoboCop, Rocketeer, Bionic Man Indiana Jones - 3 earlier versions, 2 National Treasures, 2 Tomb Raiders, etc. Narnia - 1 earlier film, LOTR, countless D&D style flicks Hulk - TV show, earlier film 4 years ago! Not to say these or others arent good films. They just add nothing new from the scientific or conceptual standpoint. Give me a tale of biosynthesis or dark matter. Hell, I'll take gray goo residue from a nano experiment gone awry. In any case, I have to wonder whether the time tested cliched plots are just too "pre-sold" for studios to resist, or are we as a mainstream movie-going public just too dense to appreciate new fiction based on the cutting edge of fact?

Chun Li from Street Fighter II was a pretty hot little temptress. I would love to let her kick the everloving shit out of me.

I think some of you guys are missing the point. It's not so much that comic books dont have their use anymore, or that movies and video games have out-competed them. The larger, more cosmic theme running through this article is the idea that ALL MEDIA are being boiled down, pared down, filtered, distilled, disassembled and parceled out into short, efficient chunks. No one reads Dostoyevsky anymore. A smaller and smaller few even read the newspaper. Think about where you get most of your info--internet snippets, headlines on your blackberry, short emails, bits of TV news while you're running on the treadmill. You may have grown up reading the comics, but now you take your kids to see the Hulk or Batman and you're just as happy as them that the entire legacy of that character is focused into 2 hours. We demand a slimmer, sleeker form of entertainment, and the folksy nostalgia of riding your Schwinn to the comic shop to pick up the new issue of Fantastic Four is DONE.
