A few things

Aug 03, 2012 11:14

The new Made of Fail is up, wherein Dayna, George, J.D. DeMotte and I discuss The Dark Knight Rises. And Kitten War.

Meanwhile, foresthouse interviewed me for Comicmix on the subject of comic book movies, on a topic also brought up on the show: So, fan who doesn't read comics, how do comic-book movies actually work out for you? Basically, I'm an excellent ( Read more... )

Heh. I don't know that it was a prediction so much as taking an idea to a logical conclusion. I'm just extremely pleased they're actually DOING it.

(Also, SPOILER, five bucks says they figure out a way in-story to reattach his head pretty quickly. Although I feel like it would be hilarious and totally worth it if the solution was some duct tape and twine and loose wiring CGI'd in.)

Congrats on the prediction. Glad it made the buckets of money necessary for such a project.

As for David getting head and body back together? The film shows Shaw taking David's body along with her. Considering she's likely to get bored, why not assume she does the repair? What else is she going to do? [Plus, the thought makes me squee happily and think of doing slash fic ^_^]

I don't know, I was going through the Prometheus tag on Tumblr looking for pictures for the Fifteen Minutes thing, and once I hit the fanfic I fled and never looked back. David being in two pieces does not seem to have slowed anyone down, I'll put it that way.

I saw the Skyfall trailer when I saw TDKR and, my hand to God, I let out an audible squeal. And maybe clapped. Fortunately, all my friends are aware of my unhealthy attraction to Daniel Craig so they just ignored me. They're too kind. :D

SAMESIES. I almost raged because I didn't get a Man of Steel trailer, but I was placated by Bond. :D

heartlessempath August 3 2012, 19:18:28 UTC

I was so lucky, I got both. :D

Well, Implausibly Young Q has won me over, at least. And it looks like this one will deal with the relationship between Bond and M, which I am crazy about! Too bad about Javier Bardem, though.

Also: that personalized gun will be used to frame Bond for something within 15 minutes, right?

cleolinda August 3 2012, 19:48:28 UTC

I don't know exactly what they're going to do with it, but yeah, the moment he was explaining that, I was like, "It's a Walther PlotPointK 7.65 mm!" Possibly he will drop it and he and a villain will wrestle for it but OH LOOK ONLY HE CAN FIRE IT! BOND IS SAVED!

I'm entirely too excited by the idea that "The Adventures of [Spoiler and Spoiler's Spoiler in a Spoiler]" is going to happen.

cleolinda August 3 2012, 19:45:09 UTC

SO too excited. It's like someone's going to spend $100 million to make a real movie out of someone's crack fic on Tumblr, I can't even handle it. Like the only thing that could be better is if she tamed Shaw Junior and took him with them and he was their pilot. Seriously, I can sit here all day and come up with nutty things for them to do, I'll even do it free of charge.

holdouttrout August 3 2012, 20:04:58 UTC

The only problem is you KNOW it won't *quite* be cracky enough as a real movie.

cleolinda August 3 2012, 20:13:03 UTC

I live in hope

particle_person August 3 2012, 18:31:07 UTC

P.S. You remember Prometheus in Fifteen Minutes, and that particular moment when I was like, "The Adventures of [Spoiler and Spoiler's Spoiler in a Spoiler]: I'd watch it"?

HEEE, I am looking forward to The Further Adventures of David's Head so much. (I hope it continues to travel in the duffel bag, because trope.)

cleolinda August 3 2012, 19:42:16 UTC

I KNOW FOR REAL RIGHT. I especially like the two of them going off and having further wackadoo no-sense-making adventures together, with no one else to rely on, at the point in their relationship (I use the term loosely) where the movie ended, because it was COMPLETELY FUCKED UP. The ride to Engineer Planet had to be breathtakingly awkward.

Actually, I kind of hope Shaw figures out a way to sort-of reattach his head, and every now and then it starts falling off again.

particle_person August 3 2012, 19:47:23 UTC

HEEE. It could be a sort of reverse Wizard of Oz.

"If I only had a body (doop de doodoo de doop)..."

cleolinda August 3 2012, 20:11:44 UTC

"WHAT NOW, DAVID"

"Could you put my head back on before you go into cryosleep? I mean, it's not very far to Engineer Planet, you won't really even have time for a decent nap..."

"DAVID, I'M TIRED FROM BIRTHING YOUR TENTACLEBEAST, YOU CAN WAIT"

"So my head can just sit here and watch you sleep?"

"NO, DAVID"
