LOL @ reboots

American Pie is now apparently getting a reboot...

Meant to say this sooner but when you first posted this, I thought you were kidding.

Yikes!

Still not a mega fan or anything but I've been reading Daredevil comics lately.  The Miller stuff.  So far, the thing I like the most is probably Man Without Fear.  I've never been hip to John Romita, Jr's art.  That could be because I'm mostly only familiar with him from his Spider-Man runs.  Point is, Romita, Jr just never impressed me.  I never saw what the hype was about.  But MWF?  Friggin awesome from start to finish.  JRJR's style is so much better suited for Daredevil.  I've never checked out his Iron Man stuff but now I've got a motive to do so.

But yeah.

01- I have a whole new appreciation for the Affleck DD movie.
02- I'm more interested in the DD reboot now (even though I maintain a sequel was doable but that ship's sailed).  If the first half hour or so is a condensed version of MWF (perhaps not everything but something that gets the basic sweep and flavor of it), I'll be happy.  Can't really redo the Elektra/Bullseye stuff for obvious reasons but you could maybe set it up for a sequel or something.  Overall?  I'm pretty interested to see what's coming.

This bit has nothing to do with the subject at hand but I dunno where else to put it.  Anyway.  Finally saw the DD director's cut last night.  Maybe it's because so many people have been talking smack about how cool it is and everything... but I just don't see it.  I really don't.  I mean, yeah, it's good, but I wouldn't say it's any drastic improvement over the theatrical version.  I dig both versions but I think the theatrical cut had a clearer sense of purpose and focus.  You cut through the BS a lot quicker and that allowed you to just get on with the story.  It felt like some of the subplots ended up weighing the director's cut down a little bit.  I can appreciate that Mark Steven Johnson is a fan of the material but there comes a point when you've got to rein it in a little bit and try to recover your objectivity.  Frankly?  I don't think he did in the director's cut.  Whoever mandated the theatrical cut knew what he was doing.
