SAYWUT: Quentin Tarantino co-plotting DJANGO/ZORRO comic
OH YEAH MAN, NATURALLY. In a concept so fucking gnarly it could work (and because it’s written by Quentin I will buy), Tarantino is co-plotting a fucking Django/Zorro crossover comic with Matt Wagner.
TARANTINO wants to CUT ‘DJANGO UNCHAINED’ into extended miniseries.
As much as I loved Django Unchained, it was not without its pacing problems. Primarily like, the last hour or whatever the fuck. So if Quentin Tarantino wants to go back and fatten her up, I’m game. The idea that he would want to split it up into a miniseries? Intriguing.
Blurst of 2013 – The Faux Bot’s picks
2013 is a landmark year for me in that it’s the first year on record where I am leaving it feeling genuinely bitter and downtrodden. Fuck 2013, man; full of disappointment, heartbreak and embarrassment. It’s the year in which I even turned my back on my beloved games industry, having to quit writing about it because I just couldn’t think of anything positive to say anymore.
Still, amongst the disappointment and fatigue, my natural optimism managed to shine through: finding joy in vinyl toys, the odd game, book or movie and of course plenty of good music. It wasn’t all bad, so let’s start off 2014 as I mean to go on – fucking pumped, bro! PROTEIN BRO!
QUENTIN TARANTINO announces his next movie is ANOTHER WESTERN. Yeehaw.
Tarantino has announced the genre of his next flick, and it appears he’s going back to the days of gunslingers. I’m assuming. ‘Cause see I don’t know much about Westerns but I do know that there are probably gunslingers there. Right?
MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE: LIFE ONE QUARTER MILE AT A TIME.
Welcome to Monday Morning Commute. This is the column where we all slow down enough to talk about what we’re enjoying on a given week. Me? How am I doing? Why, how kind of you to ask! As you may or may not know, I work on a college campus. And this week I’m lucky enough to enjoy the week off between Spring and Summer semesters. I’m going to spend the next seven days trying to figure out what that fuck I’m going to be teaching in a month, watching The Most Ill of all Bro Movies, and throwing a party at my new apartment. It’ll be a good week.
Monday Morning Commute: Santa’s atomic leg-drop.
It’s Christmas Eve, and you’d damn well better hope that you’ve been good this year.
Why is that? Well, I just got off the phone with Santa Claus. He’s doing well. He’s busy, of course, but things are goin’ his way. His stocks’re on the rise. He left that frumpy wife of his and snagged a lover more to his liking. And he’s decided to finally stop being so damn soft on those perennial residents of the Naughty List. Given what St. Nick has in store for this year’s crop of bad boys and girls, coal in the stocking is going to look like a walk in the park.
If you haven’t been good for goodness’ sake, Santa Claus is going to rock you with an atomic leg-drop.
There’s no way to know ahead of time whether you’ll be gettin’ a Furby or a beatdown from Santa. You’ll just have to wait until tomorrow morning — either you’ll wake up to open presents in your pajamas, or you’ll wake up with missing teeth and cracked ribs. But why don’t we share some ways to pass the time until then? Hell, this is the Monday Morning Commute, the very spot where we meet to discuss the various ways we’ll be entertaining ourselves.
After all, it’s easy to get bested by the ennui-daemons and work-overlords. If we don’t take the time to enjoy ourselves, we’ll die as nothing more than the miserable, boring wretches that the Man wants us to be. So let’s rebel! Our bosses don’t own our souls, and Santa may break our backs, but he can’t break our spirits!
C’mon, let’s do this!
JAMIE FOXX talks about Electro’s costume and story in ‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2’, I nod.
I keep forgetting that Django is going to be starring as the villain in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Mr. Foxx himself recently sat down and elaborated all about the Electro guy he is going to be playing, taking us fanboys and fangirls into the motivations behind the, you know, pretty lame supervillain.
Quentin Tarantino talking about his ’30s gangster flick again. Do it!
One of the lovely things about Tarantino around the release of one of his movies is that the auteur begins to spit about upcoming works. The Melty Faced One is now once again talking about his desire to make a 1930s gangster flick.
‘DJANGO UNCHAINED’ Theatrical Trailer #2: It’s Dirty Time.
Folks, the film is only getting closer. I can’t wait. Here is the final theatrical trailer.
