Say what you will about his results, but Abrams can make a damn fine teaser, I'll give him that.

My coworker -- who knows stuff like the backstory for the Immortal Iron Fist,

So do I! Biggest surprise: it has nothing to do with porn! Now Power Man, on the other hand....

I still say that the greatest dragon fight that will, sadly, never be a movie (because girls don't like dragon fights, you know) is from 'Hero and the Crown'.

Maur could kick any other dragon right out of competition. It'd be an interesting film challenge, as the fight happens midway in the book and there's a lot of movie that would come after... but damn.

I knew I could smell your brain in here Vermillioooaughhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnn....

Oh, no.

Do NOT start that shit again.

I swear I will hunt you down and punch you in the throat.

(Sheepishly looks at floor, shuffles one foot) Sorry...

Emile Hirsch as Yorick? Maybe even Jason Lee? I dunno...it seems like this dude should be slightly schleppy. Lee can pull that off in spades and Emile is young enough to sell the look.

And boy-o-boy-o-boy do I have a megaladon-sized bone to pick with you MichaelmotherfuckingBay. You raise in me the fire and fury of 1000 suns. It's a blind fury. Why does your douchebaggery have no limits? The things I would do to you given the opportunity... Clubbing baby seals in front of a daycare would seem mild by comparison. Let's just say it wouls involve a package of box-cutter blades, some nylon rope, a lighter, and a drift of 10 pigs.

What is it with you...seriously? Texas Chainsaw - probably one of the top 3 horror movie of.all.time. "How good could it really be?!" you asked yourself. Good enough that there is virtually NO BLOOD from opening to close, with exception of the small cuts on Sally's face and arms, yet, if you polled 100 people about what the bloodiest movie is of all time, I'm willing to bet 50 of them would say the original T.C.M. THAT'S how good that movie was. People associate it with blood and gorem which were lacking throughout. And then you had to go and finger paint your bloody load all over the original script. Fuck you. Fuck you in the ass with an annular cutter. May you be molested by a uncircumsized walrus with herpes. Fuck you and your pandering to the MtV generation. Goddammit....I REALLY want to go overboard on this jackhole. But i will hold my tongue. It's too early in the morning to piss off people in the comments.

What?? No, NO, PissBoy, don't hold back!! Please! You had me so close! I almost sent a gush of hot, sweet, sticky coffee all over my monitor!!

Okay, it's waaay too early in the morning for quasi-pron. I'll be a good girl.

I'm pretty sure it's Simon Pegg's face you see if you pause the Trek teaser at 0:16.

Not being an avid Star Trek geek though, is Scotty building the Enterprise canonical?

PB;

People who support Michael Bay's 'career' deserve to be pissed off. Maybe pissed on, even.

Wow, I can't believe I just saw a reference from Hero and the Crown. I thought I was the only person who's read that . . . dunno how it would play out as a movie though. McKinley's books tend to have a lot going on in the character's heads, so I'm afraid they'd butcher it like they did with The Dark is Rising. In any case, Maur WOULD be pretty awesome to see on-screen.

Oh, and some girls do like dragon fights--I'm one of them. :-) I'm interested to see how del Torro does it with The Hobbit.

I don't know if I even care about yet another Star Trek movie. I just don't know.

As far as The Hobbit goes, I'm pretty damn excited. I found the Lord of The Rings films quite entertaining, and lovely to look at, and Del Toro can only improve on the imagery.

I haven't read the comments so sorry if this is a repeat, but Jason Dohring as Y?

Link issue from the home page. Clicking on the title of this post brings you to "Can't find this page" page. Clicking on Read the Review works. I think there is a quotation mark (") at the end of the link that is screwing it up.

PissBoy - how're the T-shirts coming along?

Ooh, Abbey Road, good call on Jason Dohring as Yorick. I know he doesn't look much like the character, but I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt could act the hell out of that role, too.

I'd love to see Y on screen, but I'm resigned to the fact that it will probably end up being kind of sucky, what with the inevitable CGI monkey and Shia and all. How is it possible that that guy is a major box office draw?

The Star Trek teaser rocks. I will say that I hope JJ comes around and gives the Shat-man his due is some way. To exclude him completely is just criminal.

I'm also totally psyched for anything Del Toro does with The Hobbit.

The design is near finished. I have decided to go with "Pajiba Bus(ted) Tour 2008." Font-wise it's pretty basic, but loosely inspired by old 60-70's concert posters.

Casting Yorick is a tough one...I would prefer that they just leave it alone and not ruin the books for me.

PissBoy - it's never too early in the morning to dream up demented new ways to torture/maim producers.

I'm really upset by how little I care about the Star Trek movie, I just can't muster up any kind of emotion for it whatsoever.

Huzzah for T shirts though. I'm liking the direction they appear to be taking.

And add me to the "girls who like watching scaly winged lizards kicking and burning the shit out of each other" nothing compares to a good dragon fight (except maybe giant robots - but really one concept is just the evolution of the other)

Without spoiling it for me (I cam in late, so I have been reading it in TPB) how was Y 60 that came out yesterday? Story strikes me as something that would work better as a miniseries than a movie anyway.

Where can I see the T-Shirts?

Brian;

I don't read Y, but the consensus from the people on scans_daily who read it was that it was a mostly satisfying conclusion.

I don't know why anyone would think a four-year comic run could be condensed into a 2 hour movie. It should be an HBO series.

"The Hero and the Crown" *sigh* I love that book. "The Blue Sword" is awesome too; I like to reread them out of order every few years. Have you all read the short story compilation "A Knot in the Grain?" I loved finding out who Luthe's Lily was.

My geekiness discomforts me from time to time.

I don't think I'll EVER get the image of a molesting-happy herpes-ridden walrus out of my mind. It's waaay too early in the day for walrus dick.

Alex and nutmeag, I love me some dragon fights as well...they were the only thing missing from Juno.

I do love a good dragon fight, even though I've never really seen one on the big screen... and I don't wanna hear shit about no Reign of Fire, B-Slim.

The Elm Street news makes me a little sad, although I didn't think the Chainsaw remake was terrible. I didn't think it was good, but it was watchable.

Add me to the girls who like dragons, large winged or fanged creatures, robots, aliens or things that blow up. I am looking forward to Benicio as Wolfman, a part he was clearly born to play, especially after watching him again over the weekend in Fear and Loathing.

I am also amped about the T-shirts, PissBoy. Colors? Pricing? They are a must have.

They will just be a basic solid color (blue, gray, black, brown, dark green) with white ink. Keep in mind i am doing these as I do my own stuff to get my biz up. I am swamped with work today but hope to be able to at least get a rough pic of the graphic linked up somewhere. Maybe even some kind of 75% complete sneeak preview or something.

TK, what is the deal with Reign of Fire? All I remember about that movie is McConaughey.

PB, you never fail to amuse me.

I do have to admit the idea to remake Nightmare is so stupid. That will likely suck so bad.

Romanek has my eternal appreciation for telling MTV to remove his name from the video for NIN's "Closer" vid after they edited the hell out of it. He said that they destroyed his vision. I would have been excited to see what he could have done with Wolfman.

Yay, t-shirts! I can't wait to show mine off.

How about Tahmoh Penikett for Y: the Last Man?

Isn't Shia too young to play Yorrick? He's just 21. How about Topher Grace? I can see Emile as well.

Juile and tt_marie, you know what they say "The early bird gets to tentacle rape a hack director with a walrus dick." I might be paraphrasing, but I think that is how I remember hearing it.

T-Shirt Link
OK...lemme preface this by saying I have been very busy and what I have right now is just the template to denote spacing. Right now there are is a hard-line rectangle and oval in the image. Those will disappear. Also, the text will be curved and contoured with the design, as they are there right now for spacing only. Trying to unfuck the corners and make something involving film reels for the border. Lemme know if you think it's total shit. Pajiba! will appear on the front left breast of the shirt and www.pajiba.com will be in small font at the end of one of the sleeves.

I think Justin Long could be good as Yorick. He
has the look and shlebby style down.

But, I have to agree that condensing it down to
a 2 hour movie is just plain stupid.

Looking good PissBoy! I like the 70's rock-tee styling to it

Ha ha ha! Jesus fucking Christ, diseased walrus dicks and hentai tentacle sex...I'm starting to hate this place :p

Pissboy, the t-shirt's lookin good!

Pissboy, I bow to your awesomeness!!! Sign me up for a shirt!!!! seriously, if you do this kind of shit on a regular basis, I need to talk to you...I do community theatre and we buy shirts several times a year for shows....I'd love to throw some business and money your way.

Damn! my employer won't let me see the t-shirt. What should I have expected though, as my bosses are all a bunch of morons anyway.(mutters,sighs)

According to my imagination, Smaug is/was reddish and looks like a snake with legs and batwings. A Chinese dragon body but with a European head. And his belly covered in jewelry of course.

Thror's map spoke of "Great Worms", so they'd must have a "stretched" appearance, for the witnesses that survived.

Geeky enough for ya?

I'll check my Pajiba card at the door this time because I didn't think Baby Mama looked too bad. I'm right in the throes of procreation right now though, and I'm a sucker for Tina Fey, so what can I say?

The shirt concept is looking good PB!

I'm with who ever said Topher Grace as Yorick It's suce a great series and has such a HUGE scope that I'm not going to get excited about a movie. I'm going to be anit-excited so when the film comes out I can see it and say well that didn't suck as much as I expected and be pleasantly suprised.

Yeah, the Baby Mama trailer made me laugh... a little bit... damn it, Tina Fey! That's reason enough to see it.

See, now, this is the problem with Tina Fey. If she was cast in a Uwe Boll-directed remake of Big Momma's House, I'd probably go see the fucking thing, just because I adore her so.

Bitch.

PissBoy, the tee-shirt is awesome!

Love the design, PissBoy! I'm so jealous of creative types. I can't wait to get one of my very own. (A shirt, I mean.)

Cockroach, I don't think that's Simon Pegg in the trailer. That dude's face is a little too thin. But it's still an awesome trailer. I hope that guy from the Lohan movie (Don't really know or care about his name) doesn't fuck up the role of Captain Kirk. I know it ain't happening, but I still envision Matt Damon in the role.

I can't wait to slip my T-shirt over my head! Bravo, PissBoy!

Whiskeybabyninjastar!
(crappy res...but melikey!)

PissBoy:

[fist bump]

Solid.

word.

RE: Casting of Yorick Brown

NO NO NO. Stay the fuck away from this one Hollywood. Why must you destroy everything I love? Every casting choice suggested thus-far is a bad idea (no offense Pajibans) because there isn't a decent actor out there that fits the role of Y.

Just my 2 cents. Carry on...

PB, Dude, that is awesome.

First, what the heck is going on with the header pictures around here. A couple of days ago there was the organ-eating undead dude, and now LycanthropeBenicio. Great day. Give me a heart attack or something, why don't you?

As for the remakes of classic horror, I won't touch them. No reason to dink with greatness. No reason to support the assholes trying to make a buck off of someone else's better idea that came first.

I'm not apologizing for my complete and utter desire to see "Baby Momma". Tina Fey is my girlfriend. And I have a weakness for pregnancy humor, which when combined with white trash humor looks like total comedy gold. And from the fifteen seconds I saw of her, Maura Tierney's character is me. Yep.

PissBoy: Rock on with your kick ass t-shirts. The only thing missing from the whiskeybabyninjastar shirt is a grainy, faded photograph of my kid in his Osh-Kosh's, brandishing his throwing stars. Maybe with a Rising Sun flag tacked up behind him.

Solid design on the Whiskeybabyninjastar graphic PissBoy. What color T-Shirt would that be on?

Also is the exclamation point (!) part of the name?
Whiskeybabyninjastar
or
Whiskeybabyninjastar!

Whiskeybaby!ninjastar

my 2 cents

Ugh! Shia LeBoeuf as Yorick makes me extremely nauseous. I don't despise the guy, but he's too damn young and lacking in presence. I think I'd prefer an unknown.

I thought it was "Whiskeybabyninjastar!" and that's how i went with it. i liked it. I think it would look good on a white/black 2 tone tee (black sleeves and collar, white body). That way all the indy-obsessed out there would drool over it move.

And Pink...I thought about drawing a baby wearing a ninja mask, holding a bottle of jack in the forground of a large star backdrop. Or, on the front of the shirt, (imagine this image) Whiskey Bottle + a baby + a ninja + a star (each one a graphic) and then the name on the back.

TWIG! Is it my Super-Sweet Pajiba Birthday around here or what?! I LOVE me my Hero and the Crown! Maur was hella rough on my Aerin (god did I want to be just like her or what?). I am actually cruisin' my 35th birthday this next week, and if I can't have been Illyanna (Colossus' little sister, also: my tattoo) Aerin was the next contender. I drew her about a thousand times as a tween, and I still have my original copy of the book, plus the Blue Sword for my daughter to have later...(she's only just turned two yesterday, so she'll have to wait before she can select her tattoo).

Man you guys kick some serious cultural ass.

Oohh, I like the idea of the graphic on the front and the word on the back. And def Whiskeybabyninjastar!. Of course, any way you make it, I'm buying one. Or two, three...

Rebeccah: You have a fucking tattoo of MAGICK??? You are teh rock saur. She was by far my favorite New Mutant, and I always hated the resolution of her character. It wasn't too long after that I stopped reading the series.

PB: OR you could do a star with a baby face in the middle rocking a ninja mask. Bottle of whiskey graphic on the sleeve. I still like the 70's vibe of a washed out photograph. But the word itself without graphics at all is pretty K-Rad.

PB...I am seeing something a lot like a classic KISS concert shirt...am I close? That is too cool. Must have one!

I MUST have both T-shirts. I love 'bamapink's idea of combining the images. Maybe the baby could be slinging the ninja star off the front of an empty bottle of whiskey. People really will wonder what new band we're all suddenly fans of.

Also is the exclamation point (!) part of the name?
Whiskeybabyninjastar
or
Whiskeybabyninjastar!

------------------------------------------------

What are we, savages? The (!) is absolutely part of the name. Trust me.

Just skip the hate here, the old animated Hobbit did a great job on Smaug and Richard Boone is now forever in my brain as his voice. All rough and disturbingly sexy. Although, if I were dreaming, I'd love to resurrect John Huston to do Smaug's voice for the new one. And if they botch Smaug like they did the Ents in the Two Towers (my formerly favorite crucial to the plot characters that got crapped on) then I will be on the warpath.

Also, holler when I can get a whiskeybabyninjastar t-shirt! I'm liking the KISS-style concert tee idea. Esp. in white on a black shirt.

AlabamaPink --> You KNOW it...Magik ruled. It damn near broke my heart too...mutant aids/baby-fication. Bah. My tattoo is based on a bill sienkiewicz drawing from the Demon Bear era...I looked just like her too - I was literally DYING to run away to Hollywood to audition! Ha - now they finally made the flicks, poor Colossus was hardly Russian at all. Boo. I had to stop collecting at that point too - too sad. I'm always on the lookout for those tough female protagonists...I'm looking into the Long Kiss Goodnight based upon a previous post a while back...something along the line of Ripley will do...God save me from any more 'empowerment' flicks though.

I can do art...maybe if I get the time I'll do up some fierce looking babies for the t-shirt...my toddler is a snot bomb right now, so no promises...

The Whiskeybabyninjastar! shirt is perfect. I want mine now!

I'm sorry TK. I should know better

It damn near broke my heart too...mutant aids/baby-fication.

God, I cried like a baby during that arc. Haven't read them in years, and still tear up thinking about it.

The T shirts are making me drool. Damn now I have to spring for international shipping. Beyond awesome good sir, I bow down to you (and humbly request that you see fit to ship across the pond, pretty please?)

And no Whiskeybabyninjastar without the ! the punctuation is vital ya hear me?!?!

Right. What now? oh yeah: sleep. All this Pajibaing in the evening is throwing off my circadian rhythms.

Really? You're prizing Austin Powers over Undercover Brother? Way to misplace your snot.

Aerin's story would be a seriously great movie, but oh my, I still want to be Harimad-Sol when I grow up.

I love Robin McKinley - she writes slightly slower than most geological processes but is always worth the wait. She's number one on my "I can buy her in hardback and not wait for the paperback" list.

I too love me some Robin McKinley! Can't believe all the love on this site for her! I too wanted to be Harimad-Sol!
And PB, I gotta have the shirts!!!!

I'd rather not see Y on the screen, but I do think that Emile Hirsch or Jamie Bell would be alright options for 'Rick. On the other hand, I've got no idea who could play 355 and Dr. Mann.

With our luck, it'd be Beyonce and Lucy Fucking Lui.

Interesting. I've only read Hero and the Crown, but I really liked it. I never really thought to check out the rest of her books, but based on the love here, I may have to look into them. I love me some strong female protagonists.

I have to second Alex...I just can't get excited about another star trek movie. Especially without any of the major players in it. I know I'll go see it - I have too much respect for what Abrams can accomplish - but it'll be more like a "What's playing? I haven't seen these three movies yet....I guess we can watch Star Trek..." Sad...I used to be a diehard trekkie back in the day...

I want a shirt. Those are looking badass, Pissboy. Let us know when you're done and able to start shipping.

Now...to go check up on what Y: The Last Man is.... (cringes)

What mike said.
