Morning Article Link: From Comic To Film, Something Must Go

Entertainment Weekly #1112 (July 23, 2010)

Adapting from one medium to another isn’t easy, and what works in one doesn’t necessarily work in the other. For example, it’s easier to suspend disbelief in a comic book than in a live-action movie. “4 Hilarious Scenes Left Out Of Comic Book Movies”  looks at how the Avengers defeated Loki, that time Batman and Bane were best buds, Superman killing Zod (and I still prefer how the comic handled it), and…well, I’m not sure what you’d compare the X-Men comic story to. Did any of the movies have leprechauns?

Don’t worry, kid. He’s only trying to break the record for being dead.

According to a USA Today article, that’s what’s happening. While the article focuses on the Flash’s many upcoming TV and movie appearances, a throw-away comment is what has a lot of fans saying about time. However, please pardon the unintentional pun when I say…not so fast.

Morning Article Link> Meryl Streep Vs. Disney’s Facts

Recently actress Meryl Streep made news by launching a tirade against alleged practices of Walt Disney, calling him anti-women, a bigot and an anti-Semite. Cartoon Brew contributor Amid Amidi decided to fact check Streep’s claims and what he found is that Streep is exaggerating or outright wrong about the animation legend’s actions. You may be a good actress, Ms. Streep, but your a terrible historian.
