. . .that everyone quit hyping Kick-Ass and the Scott Pilgrim movies for about 24 hours.
Really, guys. I don't like either of these things and don't really wanna know. Mark Millar is a blight on all that is good and right in the world and despite being exactly the sort of thing it seems I would like, Scott Pilgrim leaves me utterly cold no matter how many NES games it references.
So perhaps a day without one or both not showing up on every goddamned site I visit during the course of a day would be nice.
I'm not a fool--all I'm asking for is a day, here. Just a little psychic break, a bone thrown to those of us who really don't give a shit.

I'm glad I've been avoiding the hype - it's quite possible I'll enjoy the Scott Pilgrim movie, as my apathy towards Michael Cera's monotony has receded somewhat given that I haven't seen most of his latest films. From the sound of it, though, it seems the studios are determined to burn out their audience before the film even hits the cinemas.
And no, I will not see Kick-Ass. I will not see it in a box, I will not see it under rocks, I will not see it in the mall, I will not see it on a wall. I will not see it in a car, I just hate that goddamn Mill-AHR. :)
Well, I think it's probably saying something when even the people behind the movie are afraid of overhyping things before the film even gets here.
. . .gosh, I wish I'd thought to be that clever. :) Anything I say would be redundant, so I'll second the illustrious Mrs. Kingston's remarks and say, once again, "Fuck Millar and everyone who look like 'im." :D
Looks like the damage has been done, according to the latest reports. I hate to say it, but K-Box might be right this time.
It'll be rather amusing to see Millar's reaction if/when the film tanks: I even have a Nelson Muntz image ready to go. :)
Mmm . . .the muffins of schadenfreude provide delicious sustenance for me. If ever a brutally inane and stupid movie by one of the most thuddingly imbecilic creators in comics ever (so much so that Liefeld and Loeb's two-headed lovebaby would be a candidate for MENSA by comparison) here it happens, and were it not that Iron Man 2 hits in less than a month, this would be my viewing event for the summer.
I have a feeling he'll spin it to where it's Not His Fault. Lord knows Whedon does it all the time. :)
Would you like sprinkles with that? :)
Oh, come on - even at his worst, Whedon would never have a character ask if that A on his head stood for France. ;)
Oh yes, please. :) Watching Kick-ass drift to the bottom was more satisfying than the sinking of the Bismarck.
Worst in this case meaning "Alien Ressurection," I'd say "Nahh . . .but it's a near thing for sure." :)
I believe a "Boo-yah!" is called for. :)
You know, I'm still somewhat fond of that movie... it had a certain charm the third one lacked, and I liked the idea of a Ripley so worn down from fighting Aliens all her life that it takes her a good long while to wake up. Maybe if it had just been her, Ron Perlman and Winona Ryder against the swarm?
Boo-F'N-YA! ;)
It might have been a bit more tolerable if that were the case, but even so, that movie felt like such a muddled mess that one main character or five, they would all have generally just buggered around and not really felt like they knew why they were in the movie to begin with.
In Alan Moore's name, amen. :)
Perhaps, but at the very least it's a step up from the third. Oz in space with killer aliens, please...
Hee hee. :)
Yeah, it's saying something when Paul McGann actually moved up to the crappy Doctor Who movie in the wake of Alien3.
