catlord posted:Also, do you think Holbrook has any idea how gross this storyline is? I feel like he generally has his heart in the right place even if his metaphors are all kinds of hosed, but surely there's no way he could have looked at this and said 'yes, this is a good and heroic thing to do.' And as we all know, Holbrook never, ever sits back and thinks about the implications of established worldbuilding.

Zereth posted:And as we all know, Holbrook never, ever sits back and thinks about the implications of established worldbuilding. Holbrook never thinks about the implications of anything. He literally has a thought and then draws it. Any time you start thinking "wait, doesn't that imply-" stop. You've already put way more thought into it than Holbrook did. It's all surface level. Scratch that away and you're left with nothing. There is absolutely no depth, no subtext, no layers. Any time he wants to make an analogy it's right there on the surface, signposted with flashing lights. If he's not being absolutely explicit about it it's not intentional and he wouldn't understand it if you explained it to him.

He literally has a thought and then draws it. like it's probably possible to be clever about your shared universe and craft a compelling narrative with consistent metaphors while also keeping a strict schedule but for every comics artist who could pull that off there's gotta be hundreds to whom it's just not given.

The Bloop posted:What newspaper is this printed in? I don't think it is, officially, yet. Universal Press uses GoComics as kind of a farm-league system for their syndication arm. The publishers find comics they like, host them on GoComics for a while to expose them to a bigger audience, and then if the response is good, they make the big-league newspaper syndication deal. That's what happened with Wallace, Phoebe, and BCN. Conversely, some poo poo like Pibgorn and Reddick's other comic seems to just languish on GoComics forever.

Produced by Lawrence Gordon and Joel Silver, the film is based on Roderick Thorp's 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever, the sequel to 1966's The Detective. The novel was adapted into a 1968 film of the same name starring Frank Sinatra and was a box-office success. When a movie based on Thorp's sequel went into production, the studio was contractually obligated to offer Frank Sinatra the lead role in Die Hard.[7] Sinatra, then in his early 70s, turned down the project.[7] The story was then changed to have no connection to The Detective.[7] ' Why would Ripley's subtly mislead me while remaining neatly within the realm of truth?

On the other hand, the later Charles Bronson movies. For more details, it was originally a sequel to a movie he did in 1966 so it was more of a contractual thing than a serious thing. For serious casting they asked Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Gere, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Don Johnson, Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson and Richard Dean Anderson.
