Monday Random Monday....
Evidently things happen in the world, whilst I party on the weekends, who knew? So for your perfunctory perusing pleasure, though it causes me mischievous malcontented mayhem, I proudly proffer a proctored panoply of possible portents. [Ed. Link to dictionary.com he goes off like this sometimes, we're really sorry]
So first up: Variety is reporting that the Green Lantern movie has a director now, Greg Berlanti. You'll remember Berlanti from such fine TV shows such as, "Dirty Sexy Money," "Brothers & Sisters," "Everwood," "Jack & Bobby" and "Dawson's Creek." I swear if James van der Beek is Hal Jordan, I'm only watching Bollywood movies from now on...at least the casting is believable. Berlanti will also write the script along with veteran comics writer Marc Guggenheim and Heroes pen-jockey Michael Green.
Two: Sub-Mariner #5 comes out this week. I have two questions: Who the Eff cares? and why does he look like he's pumped up on more steroids than all of the MLB (YAY SOXS!!!!!!)?
Three: Late last week DC Comics announced a major distribution deal with Random House. According to Paul Levitz, president of DC, "Graphic novels have a weaker representation in independent stores than in the chains. Random House has an opportunity to have a big impact there." Are there any independent bookstores left? Didn't we have a whole Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie about that?
Okay I'm out. God, I've been drinking too much coffee..

I'm trying not to get too excited about GL. Warner Bros. has a reputation of spinning these projects into development hell - what with all their executive notes (Wonder Woman, Flash, JLA, Superman...)
I wish somebody with some vision and articulation skills would take over DC to defend these characters against the Warner Bros executive re-visioners (Superman has unprotected sex, gets Lois pregnant, and splits to another galaxy for 5 years - - right).
