MARVEL Updates Slate of Projects - Nov 06, 2007 - 05:20am
I confess that I do not have high expectations about Captain America or Thor being in development. I am beginning to get the impression that the comic book movie genre may be achieving critical mass and implode soon, although the science/fantasy fiction projects have pulled Hollywood into the black (and STILL largely ignored by the esteemed Oscar Committee EVERY YEAR). It is also ironic that the "writers" are involved in a labor action when computer animated fare such as Final Fantasy, the upcoming Beowulf and Pixar productions clearly exhibit the value of voice talent over actual biological performances. You "actors" are not as valuable as you once were. Lastly, as an African American Sci-Fi/Fantasy consumer, aren't there ANY African American heroes that deserve some screen/computer time? I do not feel fairly represented by this genre and nearly suffered snow-blindness by watching Superman Returns. George Lucas made appropriate corrections with the addition of Lando after fan commentary and I put it to you to include The Falcon if Cap'n America is developed, or even Luke Cage as a standalone feature (John Singleton's vision). If you are actively pursuing the African American green dollar, perhaps SOMEONE should recognize the value of the African American in fantasy cinema? Disney cannot seem to find the brown tint and have historically taken great pains to avoid coloring any significant character, other than the ebonics spouting minstrel, as anything resembling a positive role model. Thank you Gene Roddenberry, George Lucas and any other power-broker for recognizing the value of fair representation. Thank you all for your time.

My friends, the final key is at hand. Don now thou Hefty Bag Members Only jacket and apply with fierce determination thine mascara laden power eyebrows for Armageddon is here. The final sign has been scribed in the annointed hamlet that lies far west from these shores. The Guf of original thought has run dry. The citizens of this world must now suckle from the sands of long discarded obscurity. May God have mercy on the money-lenders and financiers for forsaking us so. Those seeking intellectual theatre please take thou thine own Ritalin and pray for cellluloid mercy!
