Regrettably, it was the Christopher Reeves Superman movies that turned me off to the superhero films for a long time. Some in the front office back then just didn't get it. As far as DC comicbook movies go these days, I think someone states it very clearly here http://rejigger.tumblr.com/post/58165548758/how-did-rocket-raccoon-get-there-first<br /><br />The first Tobey Maguire Spiderman coaxed me back in, but Hollywood still fell on it's face with the first Hulk and Fantastic Four movies (imho). I may be belaboring the point, but there's a much deeper and subtler interaction between a reader and a book, than just a viewer sitting in front of a screen.<br /><br />Getting back to Guardians, this crazy mixture of characters did work out. (Talk about Hobo Stew.) Hollywood gambled on James Gunn, and came up aces. But there had to have been some other players behind the scenes who knew how to appeal to all the Marvel junkies young and old, and the general movie going public at large. Even tossed in another Stan Lee cameo to make it "official". I'm sure the DVD will be out before Christmas.<br /><br />Thanks again for publishing my comments.Ken Roskoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073962767298192335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31577321.post-62247925379028124392014-09-02T15:02:39.040-07:002014-09-02T15:02:39.040-07:00Thanks, Ken.

Batman?<br />I’m a fan of Starlin too (see http://fredeggcomics.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/glasgow-comic-con.html).<br />The comics creators don't get enough credit. They came up with the material. It would be good if they were credited in the same way as the authors of novels which movies adapt. It’s more complicated as more than one person is involved, but surely that would only take 2 or 3 more title cards? It’ll no doubt be financially motivated, like the entire enterprise.<br />Anyway, none of this has anything to do with the comics. I am still very fond of all the stories I mention above.<br />Nice blog!<br />David Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456925826364395124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31577321.post-15461898195330015642014-09-02T10:14:48.800-07:002014-09-02T10:14:48.800-07:00Hello David, I think I share some of your frustrat...Hello David, I think I share some of your frustration and disappointment. Long before Disney gobbled up Marvel, the rewriting of Marvel history has driven me away from a lot of comics. I am a big fan of Jim Starlin's work, and he and the other original Marvel artists and writers deserve much more than just an "honorable mention" as the credits roll by.<br /><br />Still, "Guardians" was a fun diversion. Whereas Chris Platt's performance reminded me more of "Kung Fu Panda", I thought James Gunn did do justice with the villains. Seeing Ronan, the Collector and, Thanos of course, was like seeing old "friends". The 70's soundtrack was a bit cloying, but it did reflect the times in which the original characters were created.<br /><br />After watching the first big budget superhero movies in the 1980's, I never expected the superhero movies to stay with the original comics continuity anymore. The producers will make big adjustments to bring in a big audience. 'Nuff said.<br /><br />For Guardians, it did seem like someone took all the leftovers from the fridge, threw them in a pot, and hoped something tasty would bubble up. This doesn't excuse Hollywood from making hack work, but I think most true fans can find some pleasure in going home to the original comics, long after the movie experience has faded.<br /><br />http://animationre-creation.blogspot.com/2014/08/guardians-of-galaxy-original-comics.html<br /><br />http://animationre-creation.blogspot.com/2014/09/guardians-of-galaxy-film-references.htmlKen Roskoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073962767298192335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31577321.post-34712524012618033672014-07-14T07:37:56.980-07:002014-07-14T07:37:56.980-07:00In the case of Dave Sim (and probably goes for mos...In the case of Dave Sim (and probably goes for most people in the span of 30 years) let it be said he didn't start and end the book with a consistent worldview. In fact he ended with a total 180 from where he started philosophically, which kinda makes it all the more fascinating. Since the book officially ends at issue #200 it doesn't effect the Cerebus story too much -it's mostly relegated to the last 100 issues (#200-300), the epilogue if you will. So if you want to really stick it to him go buy and celebrate his earlier liberal work -back when he was a different man.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31577321.post-49071011039372026442013-12-27T14:56:22.383-08:002013-12-27T14:56:22.383-08:00Great, hope to see you then, Allan.

I thought your comments about the irrelevance of the comics page interesting and it shows how the experience of comics as a performance is very different to reading a comic in book form. Which is what I hoped folks would take from DeeCAP. A big thanks to Dundee Comics Expo for allowing it to happen and to Dundee Contemporary Arts for the venue and all their help in putting it on.
