HorrorThere are a couple of Lady Bathory movies in the works.
Heavy metal monster-costume band Lordi is doing a horror movie. And did you know that there are Lordi comics in Finland, written and drawn by Mr. Lordi himself? Me either.
John Rozum and Kody Chamberlain's The Foundation comic, about a group who's trying to stop the prophecies of Nostradamus from coming to pass, has been optioned for a film by Paramount.
Comics
Kill All Monsters! editor Jason Rodriguez has a fantastic post up at Blogarama about comic book cliffhangers and that crazy desire comics nerds get for next month's issue right now.
Women in Fiction
A while back, I was invited to share one of my posts at the POWER in Comics Community. Unfortunately, I couldn't access the site at the time, but it looks like I can now. The group's mission statement is to Promote Ownership of stores and publishing houses, Writing & drawing of comics, Editing of comics & Reading of comics and graphic novels for women and minorities. I'm having trouble signing up for it, but once I can I'll be sure to take them up on their invitation.
Writing (and making comics) is Hard
The Beat has a great summary of the recent MoCCa (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Festival. I especially like her thoughts on alleged "classism" in the indie comics community and the need to pay one's dues.
Alas, even in a world as egalitarian as indie comics, where almost everyone wants the kids to do alright, the reality is that not everything is created equal ... But it takes a while to become a Paul Pope or Adrian Tomine, let alone a Kim Deitch. Maybe you have to pay your dues by sitting there behind a table wishing someone would stop by. Maybe being more selective and having to pay your dues is part of the process.
As someone who's done a fair share of "sitting there behind a table wishing someone would stop by," I certainly think so.
Stuff Nobody Cares About But Me
I could smooch Steve Jobs right now.
