Sorry not to be kicking off the week with fresh “content” but certain other business and creative endeavors have been making undue demands on my time. And no, I really don’t think I have anything interesting to say about the whole Disney/Marvel deal. Really, the only thing I want from Marvel now and for the foreseeable future is Volume Three of The Fantastic Four Omnibus, and then everybody can just go their merry ways. But feareth not, there’s stuff in the works—tomorrow’s Foreign Region DVD Report, a consideration of the greatest Jess Franco film Alain Robbe-Grillet ever made, and hopefully some musings on the picture from which I got the screen grab above, a picture I might have imagined Rod Taylor’s character making a reference to in Inglourious Basterds, a picture I know The Siren probably knows by heart. Soon come, as King Tubby would say, maybe.
I think I’m probably more interested in contemporary Marvel than you, but we’re in complete agreement about the need for a third FF OMNIBUS, and it’s funny you mention it now, as I was on a Kirby kick all weekend. Silver Surfer, Galactus, Ben Grimm…Good stuff.
Would that Jess Francoesque movie be L’IMMORTELLE?
Or the festive, frame-bites-back philosophy and lingerie pillowfight, LA BELLE CAPTIVE.
Hey– now Jerry Bruckheimer can produce the FORBUSH MAN movie we’ve all been waiting for all these years.
@Escher: Damn, I wish I’d thought of that! Very funny.
actually, if Miramax would let Azazel Jacobs make FORBUSH MAN, it could be pretty great.
AHA. Do I get to make a guess now? Because I think I have it but don’t wanna spoil the fun…perhaps I will post my guess at my place.
I find it interesting just because it was unexpected, and I’m a comics nerd.
I’m also hoping Joe Quesada goes flying out of the top floor with a big yellow mouse-clog print across his ass, but I think it’s more likely he’ll quit.
