Also, when and if Skydance crumbles, DC will be one of the last things to be sold off. Why? They own too much recognizable and cheap to exploit (from the viewpoint of movie production) IP that can keep a company afloat for as long as DC has existed.

I don't know that he really thinks about empathy, or else he wouldn't insist on photo ops of him personally destroying personal belongings in homeless encampments he has ordered to be torn down. Of course, he could just mean something else by empathy.

I mean, sure, there are still options in places like NYC or LA, and other big cities, but these are becoming few and far between. The path to classic taken by movies like Blade Runner or 2001 just aren't there anymore. And Hollywood took all that for granted and destroyed it.

had cheaper paths to being exposed to movies are dying off. Video stores are gone. The late night movie shows on TV stations and basic cable are gone. Hell, basic cable and movie channels are dying out. Our cable system charges ridiculous amounts to get channels like TCM, TNT or TBS.

The days of the "cult classic" movie that develops an audience and understanding after an official release is the past, and it was Hollywood itself who destroyed the process of creating movies having a success outside of its life cycle. Second run and drive in theaters that...

Just found out that Matt Howarth died. One of the purest examples of the explosion of creativity that happened in American comics in the 1980s, his weird take on genre tropes was totally individual and uncommercial. RIP.

I think that overall Gunn is better about that, but yeah. I've read the comics. I can read the comics again, if I want to. I don't really need to see a comic story again as a movie. I'm not a big fan of the comic either honestly. The comics have addressed it as "Kara was working through some shit."

To be clear, my cameo is not ON a naughty cover. 😉 I love talking shop (and at the shop) with Mike! He has a wealth of information, especially for someone like me who is nostalgic for her behind-the-counter days. Seeing naughty Bug Wars and Gastronomique covers piqued my curiosity on this trend.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Although I don't remember paying for signatures this year at Tampa Bay Comic Con. I only had one book that I wanted to get signed, but I never saw him. Last year at the con was much more expensive for signatures for me.

Christopher Helton @dorkland.itch.io · 11h

I honestly don't mind creators charging for signatures at a convention. Those tables are ridiculously expensive, and if I'm not buying anything from them, I get it. I'm much more bothered by the guy at the front of a line with 50 things to get signed wasting my time. That's a bigger concern.

Can I also add that if we're going to get super-hero movies, there should be more original stories and fewer adaptations of comics. Like, Supergirl would have been so much better if it hadn't had the drag of weird choices of things to change in the adaptation. Just make cool stories.
