graphic novels.
Don't use that term. A comic book's a comic book's a comic book, no matter how long it is. In fact, many, many of the books called "graphic novels" are really just collected editions of issues of monthly comics. It's just a way to make them sound like they're higher art, which is bull****. "Comic book" implies no lower standard than any other artform.

I haven't read any of the League stuff yet, but it seems inevitable. Right now I really want to fill in the earlier Alan Moore gaps, though. I still have yet to read Miracleman, any of his Swamp Thing stuff and The Killing Joke one-shot. Basically, all I've read is Watchmen and I'm in the middle of V For Vendetta right now.

The main problem with those adaptations is that they try to make a two hour film out of about twenty hours of immensely dense storyline from Moore. Considering the differences in media, I don't think those films (the first two anyway, since I naturally haven't seen the third yet) were too bad.
I've actually got hope for the adaptation of Watchmen (if it ever gets made), both because Watchmen is one of the best stories I've ever read, and because Terry Gilliam is wanting to direct it (not to mention that he has been wanting to for years already).

How come Alan Moore got three bad movies from his comics, but the only Frank Miller one that's been done has been an awesome movie?
Bartender
10-01-2005, 06:19 PM
Maybe Sin City lends itself much more easily to a film adaptation. The stories are, by and large, shorter and though they often intertwine with each other, and can get quite complex in themselves, can be better "unraveled" into film-length, stand-alone stories, I think. That, and a fair bit of luck in getting the right director, a quite ridiculous cast, etc.
YDload
10-01-2005, 06:20 PM
But it still wasn't that easy to make Sin City, especially since they ended up making a movie that was completely different from anything that had ever been made in the history of film.
Bartender
10-01-2005, 06:29 PM
I don't think that's the same thing. The difficulties/innovations/etc in making the film itself don't really say anything about the book it was adapted from.
Also, looking at Sin City you can see (or imagine you see) that it was made by someone who really liked the original material. Maybe Sin City was made with the right mindset, where whoever made LXG/From Hell was trying to make it whilst keeping in mind the idea of what a film 'should' be like, rather than just out of a desire to adapt something they loved. It probably helped to have Frank Miller on as assistant director(?) in that department.
But it still wasn't that easy to make Sin City, especially since they ended up making a movie that was completely different from anything that had ever been made in the history of film.
Well not really, I mean Space Jam used the techinque that Sin City uses.

Meh. I disagree. I don't think of the phrase "graphic novels" as a buzz word so much, although it is used as one. I mean, a manga is a comic book in every sense but if you just call it a comic book, you're ignoring the fact that there are distinct differences in content and presentation.
To kinda of give it in another context, people usually call musical genres fads until they are capable of producing full-fledged albums, cohesive wholes, artistic statements blah blah blah. A lot of people (not myself) only want to take comic books seriously when they are delivered in the same manner. It's bull**** to a degree, yeah, but "graphic novels" offer a way for a comic book artist to provide a story that works beyond single issues and generally, it will not work in any other form. You've got comic books, and then you've got a bunch of forms of the comic: webcomics, strips, graphic novels, and all of them offer different ways for an artist to express themselves, which validates the action of making up these silly little terms.

Public transportation is neat. I like taking the lightrail into town sometimes because it's interesting people watchin'. But yeah, cars are nice, too.
A story can just as easily be done in serial form though, from issue to issue. Like Zappa said, many of those that are called graphic novels are really just collected editions of former serials.
A lot aren't, though. It's a big creative difference to make a comic script set for 28 pages each month compared to making something that has no set pages, just a script that an artist is going to work through without break. Neither process is more artistically valid than the other, nor is either easier I'd say, it's just a different way of doing something. Actually, doing a monthy is probably a lot harder, now that I think about it.
I think the whole business thing plays into it as well, at least right now. A lot of casual readers don't want to buy single issues if they know that it will be re-released as a collection. Used to be you could make a dozen copies of the same issue because collectors would sop 'em up. Still works for bigger titles but not so much as in the mid-90's. But right now, that's the market a lot of publishers are aiming for, casual readers that is.

This is an extremely bigoted opinion, but I believe that girls have questionable taste in music because they are prone to making superficial decisions just as us guys are (i.e. liking a musician because he or she is attractive), but with rock music the overwhelming majority of musicians are male, so they have a wider array of good or horrible bands to choose from.

I can totally see your point.
Personally, I couldnt tell you if half the bands I listen to have attractive musicians in them or not, because that isnt what matters to me. If I listen to a band I like alot and find out that everyone in the band is horribly disgusting, it doesnt really take away the quality of their music.
I think Conor Oberst is an attrctive boy. But I ****ing hate the music that he makes, and the fact that he is pretty doesnt make me want to listen to his music.

They can have good taste, just not entirely good taste. Every now and then they'll still want to throw a Hanson album on.

Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly

So there is another new Strokes song floating around and it's not half bad. I'm looking foward to the new album.
Nothing they have ever made (or will make for that matter) will ever beat "Post Modern Girls".

Why does everybody always post 'Death Cab For Cutie - Photobooth' in a love songs thread when it is clearly not a love song and even contains lyrics like;
"It was pretty clear that this was hardly love"
and
"The cold air will rush your hard heart away"
I mean, how can that be a love song?

This is an extremely bigoted opinion, but I believe that girls have questionable taste in music because they are prone to making superficial decisions just as us guys are (i.e. liking a musician because he or she is attractive), but with rock music the overwhelming majority of musicians are male, so they have a wider array of good or horrible bands to choose from.
Ugh I don't know how to explain it, but basically I'm saying that men and women made stupid choices for liking a musician, but there are more male musicians in popular music so women have a greater chance of making bad choices :(
Gay people have bad taste, too; amirite?

Songs convey different emotions to different people. There are songs that make me feel happy, even though the lyrics aren't particually feel good.

I know female girls with good taste in music. But whoever said it is right, they always want to throw on Hanson now and then.
No no! Resist the Hanson!! I suppose we are slightly more likely to listen to cheese as well as decent stuff than you silly elitist indie boys.
Naturally I disagree entirely with the concept that girls have worse taste, but what did we expect? I think that everyone has their own superficial reason for liking certain bands, for rock chicks it may be the lead singer's looks, but don't tell me boys don't have stupid reasons for liking bands too, sometimes.

You know it' really bad when you do things like that instinctively.

Or when your mother pulls away the curtains in the morning and lets the sunlight into your room, you go "omgffs, nice team flash you ****king noob!". Or when eating you constantly shift your fork and knife between your two hands.
