I think Herobear could take Hobbs in a fight. Don’t tell the Comic Strip Critic I said so.

Before I start this little rant I want it on the record that I am NOT condemning live-action movies or live-action adaptations. While comics take up the majority of the discussion here at the Spotlight, and cartoons are probably a second, I think I’ve shown that I actually do like live-action movies…when they’re good. When they’re crap I don’t like it and when they fail as an adaptation I really don’t like it, especially if the source material was something I really like.
No, this commentary is about this strange thought that UNLESS your project gets a live-action movie adaptation, or at least a TV show, you’ve failed. With the rise of “comic book movies” some people trying to get their screenplay made will actually make a comic out of it, hoping it will get picked up. A good live-action adaptation is fine, but some films…should have stuck with their roots.
I think we know what happened to the Zero Room the 5th Doctor launched into space.

DC’s YouTube page has started posting some of the DC Nation shorts that air as part of their programming block on Cartoon Network. Since the video I was putting together won’t be done in time, I thought I would post some of my favorite shorts. Enjoy.

Going to a prostitute did nothing for Douglas Quaid. Although in this case that would be finding out who he really is. I’m not sure that came out less dirty. Anyway, it’s back to the hotel where he gets to play “Is This Your Life?” some more.
