And speaking of Wasserman, who is unlamented for a reason, we have only paid attention to this continuing soap opera regarding yet another comic-book movie (siggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh) as background noise, but that Mr. Bew-KES and SLIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- and possibly SUMNER and Little Jeffy! -- intend to fire so many bullets at the opposition's lawyers shows an industry arsenaled with blanks. Really, how different is one comic-book movie from another? (They even get the same number of raves from the ad-blurbists.) Surely Mr. Bew-KES and SLIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- and SUMNER and Little Jeffy! -- stopped making movies for anyone with brain cells a long time ago. The ideal outcome is for all sides to so spoil the property it becomes unsellable. And fantasy is not an automatic home run. Does anyone here remember the brilliant adaptation of Mr. Hiaasen's precocious charge? No? And who will remember all these comic-book movies twenty years hence, except with a sneer?

P. S.



You want a supervillain? How about a movie about this Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient (from Slick, no doubt appreciative of all the campaign funds). Sadly, said honor did not prevent Him from dining alone at the end of His life, nor from people showing up at His funeral to see if He was dead.
