It Will Be Mine...

Oh yes, it will be mine.

After all the toing and froing and will-they-or-won't-they dramas with this collection's release date, this is pretty much the best news ever. And it's not even that expensive! Woo!

For the record, the 13-disc set, which includes the original theatrical cut of 'Superman: The Movie', the 2001 Special Edition of 'Superman: The Movie', the original theatrical cut of 'Superman II', Richard Donner's brand-new cut of 'Superman II', deluxe editions of 'Superman III' and 'Superman IV', the 2-Disc edition of 'Superman Returns', the feature-length documentaries 'Look Up In The Sky' and 'You Will Believe- The Making of a Saga', as well as the classic George Reeves film 'Superman and the Mole Men' and remastered editions of the 1940s Superman cartoons, and a whole shitload of other special features, retails for $169.83.

Which is awesome.

This really has nothing to do with anything, but I haven't posted here much lately and I'd like to have this list I made for a totally different site recorded somewhere for my posterity. It's my favourite comic book writers and artists! Yay for me, and the zero people who care!

Writers
1. Grant Morrison
2. Alan Moore
3. Stan Lee
4. Frank Miller
5. Warren Ellis
6. Bill Finger
7. John Broome
8. Dan Slott

7. Frank Miller
8. Dave Gibbons

Simonson might move up that list, after I read through his run on Fantastic Four that I picked up the other day. Quite a productive shopping trip, really- 66 comics for 100 Australian dollars! Yay!
Now, so this entry isn't a complete waste, here's a funny video.

The Word 'Fantastic' Has Never Been Used So Loosely

So, awhile ago I was reading about a Fantastic Four movie that was made in the early 90s, and was so bad it was never released. In fact, rumour has it it was never meant to be released, and was filmed only so that the studio responsible could maintain its hold on the Fantastic Four license. My curiousity was well-and-truly piqued, and luckily, youtube is our friend. Here, for your viewing pleasure and/or chagrin, is a scene from the first Fantastic Four movie:

Here's another:

Another, quite quick but equally terrible, clip:

And here's the- quite frankly, truly incomprehensibly awful- trailer:

I know what you're thinking- 'where can I see the entire movie for myself?' Well, to be honest, I don't know. Apparently bootleg copies of it are fairly common, but to be honest, I'm not sure I could bring myself to watch the whole thing.
For that reason, here's the ending:

The Fantastic Four are awesome, though.
