it’s a PR mystery (re a certain Big Summer Comic Book Movie)

Thu, Jun 09, 2011

What could possibly be the PR value in inviting a blogger with a practically nonexistent audience to a screening of Big Summer Comic Book Movie, and denying a screening to someone like me, with large, passionate, and engaged audience?

I love that there are jokes about breast milk, sex toys, and intense mortification right in the trailer. This is gonna be so much fun…

Is it Marilyn Monroe’s white dress? Dorothy’s red slippers? Charlie Chaplin’s hat? Something else?

The answer interests me because there seems to be such a divide between the fictional world Mystique lives in and our own in how her appearacen is perceived…

‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: 50th anniversary ideas, please…

I think it might be nice, as a nod to the original conception of the show as educational, to do a purely historical story: one with no SF elements whatsoever. A story set in 1963 that highlighted how the world has changed in half a century could be really interesting…
