Because it’s Monday and you’re trying not to work yet.
- Tod Goldberg goes into some detail about writing a Burn Notice tie-in novel and talks to Max Allen Collins about scripting the adaptation of the movie based on his Road To Perdition:
“After I submitted it and had the New York editor say it was the best tie-in novel he’d ever read, the licensing person at DreamWorks required me to cut everything in the novel that wasn’t in the script. That I was the creator of the property held no sway. I was made to butcher the book down to 40,000 words.”
- Todd Alcott discusses The Clone Wars and how his kids relate to the Star Wars versus “my” generation’s perception of the movies:
And both my kids love Asoka, the girl Jedi who acts as Anakin’s protege and foil. And you know what? I love her too — she’s a great character, the teenage girl who seems to be the only person in the galaxy who doesn’t seem that impressed with Anakin Skywalker. She gets a lot of screen time, she’s a girl of action, she’s smart and funny and she doesn’t take shit from anyone, much less Anakin. (Okay, she’s stuck holding the baby for a stretch, but credit where credit is due — she’s a huge improvement over the whining, helpless Padme of Sith.)
- David Charles visits Audium in San Francisco and talks to composer/creator Stan Shaff:
“As of today, I can’t point to any given space like this. I think we’re pretty unique in what we do and I am a little surprised that no one caught up yet. I guess having done this so many times I’m aware that people are moved by it and that’s the driving element that keeps me consistent. But even without that I think I would’ve continued to explore, because there’s a natural evolution in the art form and I think space is just so inherent in life today. I mean, it’s a major element in humanity, we’re spacial species and its inevitable we’re going to move in that direction. “

Koosbing commented on Aug 25 08 at 12:01 pmI haven’t seen Clone Wars yet, but from the first time I saw the ad, I immediately thought, “Great, they’ve given Anakin a spunky sidekick, who in the fairly near future either he hacks to death or the clone troopers fill with blaster holes.”
I just can’t separate it from what we know is going to happen.
Evan Waters commented on Aug 26 08 at 2:47 amThe movie’s just sort of OK, but I do like Asoka. Surprised that others don’t, anybody who backsasses Anakin is good peoples in my book.
