That's awesome, but why are you only making 1000 copies?

We have the CBC. Their coverage is alright.

In the interest of posting something useful, how about these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil's_All_Fright_Diner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Suck http://www.amazon.com/Good-Fairies-York-Martin-Millar/dp/1857020766 I think the last guy is Scottish, but what the heck. I'll post more if I...

LOL I just realized that I totally missed the point of your thread. Sorry about that. I'm not sure if I really have much to offer, as I haven't read a lot of light-hearted fantasy, and the stuff that is close to that is by British authors (which I doubt would be terribly useful to you).

From what I understand, it can be hard to get an agent's attention without having a few decent publishing credits. I'm just breaking into writing myself (getting published for the first time this month), and I'm looking into these kind of things as well. There's a woman in my writing group who...

All I can say is I don't envy whoever is writing the screenplay. :confused:

I think it's a good thing that this is coming out after Will Eisner's death. :erm:

I actually think that Chabon could be the guy to change some minds about fantasy/sci-fi. He's respected in the literary community and he is a fan of genre stuff (sci-fi, comics, horror, etc.)

I've met her. She was nice, though not super-human. :p Her husband is a fantasy author named David Keck who is pretty good. Other authors of note: Leiber, Tolkien, and Howard, of course. I love Tad Williams. Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell was quite good. Thumbs up for...

Um, me want. Now.

Huh. That's my favorite of the movies so far (well, except for Order of the Phoenix maybe). I've never noticed any glaring plot holes. Or maybe I'm just ignoring them. I dunno.

I agree they don't really compare well, but that was what I was getting at: I would have like to have seen them foreshadow some of the darkness that was in Annikin right from the beginning. He didn't have to be dripping evil, just a bit more creepy and ominous. But I guess that would have been...

Yeah, and Snatch, too.

But didn't Yoda and Mace say that little Anni couldn't be trained for that reason? Qui-gon ended up ignoring them anyway, so why not play up the kid's creepiness factor from the beginning? My guess is that Lucas didn't want things to get that dark from the beginning, and he just didn't see...

I've never seen the original, but the previews for this one looked pretty awful. Also, what the hell is Joan Allen doing in this movie? I hope it was a decent paycheck...

In retrospect, I think the scenes in this one were actually more clear, but still tough to follow at times. I'll have to agree with a lot of the sentiments expressed here about some of the flaws of the movie... eg) I found it amazing that the Joker could load two ferries with rigged diesel...

That looks pretty cool. I haven't read any of the books yet, so all I know of the story is from the movies (I'm going to keep it that way until the movies are done). It's interesting to see the origins of Voldemort. From what I saw in the trailer, it makes me think that this is how they should...

I'm guessing that Nolan either doesn't put much stock in the importance of fight scenes or he just has no idea how to shoot them. I complained about this issue in Batman Begins but I didn't run across many that agreed with me. It seems more people are starting to notice it now though.

Those look alright. Although, I'm guessing they'll decrease the power level of the Asgardians from the comics: while they always presented the Hulk as a match for Thor alone, I'm not sure what he could really manage against the hosts of Asgard (particularly if Odin is there). As far as the...

It was really pretty decent, though I find Kristina Lokken incredibly uninteresting (beyond her appearance, but in Hollywood that's nothing remarkable in and of itself). I'm pretty happy with Rose as Sonja, even if she isn't the best actress around. I enjoyed her performances in Death Proof and...
