You know how I like to occasionally offer compilations of not-so-random news. Well, it's that time of the month again, so fasten your seatbelts and join me for a ride.George Lucas, a recurrent guest here in Sunny Jhanna, says that The Clone Wars animated series premiering next year will be at least 100 episodes long. I can't wait… Actually, not only can I wait, but I have zero interest in this.
It seems the ubiquitous Nicolas Cage might play Magnum in the Magnum PI movie that's in the works. Will it be as good as I remember the show being? Or, even more important, was the show as good as I remember it? The answer to both questions is probably the same.
This one's too good not to share with you, dear readers. I couldn't care less about Ridley Scott, but he just said something we were all anticipating (and making fun of) a few weeks ago here in Sunny Jhanna. On the topic of downloading movies from the Internet and watching them on your iPod or computer, he claimed that "we try to do films which are in support of cinema, in a large room with good sound and a big picture". Or, in other words, as true to the director's vision as possible [insert laughs here]. And then he goes on to say that "we're fighting technology. While it has been wonderful in many aspects, it also has some big negative downsides". And here I was thinking that it was the new technology that allowed the directors to actually present on screen exactly what they had in their minds. I thought that's why Scott himself is re-releasing Blade Runner later this year. Ah, the irony.
Angel lives again… or is undead again, or whatever phrase fits this character's state. After the success of Buffy Season 8 (which is now being said to be an open series with no end planned, hahaha), the Angel series will also continue in comic book format. I just hope they get a good artist this time, as opposed to spend all the flashy artwork on the cover. Probably not...
And that's it for now. We'll have more news in individual posts. Either that, or we'll run out of stuff to talk about.

Jejeje. Más declaraciones de Mr. Lucas y Mr. Scott. Si es que parecemos masoquistas también nosotros.
Magnum PI nunca la vi, pero de un tío como Tom Selleck a uno como Nicolas Cage va un abismo. Y digo yo, ¿es que el primero no está disponible, o qué?
Sobre la serie de Angel, ya lo sabiiiía, ya lo sabiiiiiiíaa.
Lo que sí espero también es que el artista sea mejor. El de Buffy no es que dibuje mal. A mí particularmente no me disgusta. Pero a veces dibuja unas caras deformes que es que no puedo con ellas.
Las portadas, eso sí, son más espectaculares a caa día que pasa. Impresionantes, todas y cada una de ellas.
Algo masoquistas sí debemos ser. pues la label "George Lucas" tiene siete entradas. Pero es que cuando vi las declaraciones del amigo Scott no pude contenerme. Y es que hay que tener poca vergüenza. Por un lado nos dice que tecnología es maaaala, pero nos reedita Blade Runner (que maldita la falta que nos hace) para añadir un par de cosas ahora que la tecnología se lo permite. No es que sea malpensado, pero a lo mejor si el hombre hubiera tenido (aparte de Gladiator) algún éxito de taquilla en los últimos dieciséis años (cuento desde Thelma y Louise en el 91, pues a lo mejor no le hacía falta recurrir a este tipo de trucos.
Desvergüenza supina, yo llamaría a eso.
En fin, demasiadas palabras derrochadas en la pareja del año... Por cierto, ¡ya tenemos título para Indy IV!
No creas que no lo sé, no. De hecho, estuve a punto de hacer un post doble ayer sólo para dar la noticia, pero bueno. Si no la pones tú mañana (miércoles), la pondré yo. :)
Done and done. :)
Hehehe. Ya lo he visto, ya. Ahora cuando llegue arriba comento.
