So, I spent a lot of time cold-calling Hollywood people in hopes of scoring an interview related to the Cowboy Bebop film-- and lucky for me, I struck gold getting to interview scriptwriter Peter Craig!

If you guys enjoyed the interview, I would *really* appreciate a bit of help on Digg, if you have a moment to do so-- or to just pass it on to a friend who you know Diggs, if you don't yourself. :)

Thanks!

Thought this might be up some of your alleys. We're pretty excited for the Fat Princess game over at Anime Vice. And we love you if you watch it! <3

Oh, my poor, neglected Comic Vine user blog! Maybe now that I have a couple of writers helping me out over at Anime Vice, I'll have more time to spend on stuff here and at Giant Bomb <3<3

Speaking of new writers at Anime Vice, I'm trying to get everyone to digg GodLen's recent feature, "10 Groups I'd Like to See as Power Rangers Before I Die," which includes, among other things, a group of nothing but Red Rangers that includes Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Segal, and Bruce Willis. Mwahaha.

So if any of you guys here at Comic Vine want to help give Len a warm, wet, sloppy, drunk Whiskey Media welcome, help us out! Digg it, share it with your friends. <3

In Japan, people usually buy chapters of various manga collected together into a single phonebook-size anthology, to get their immediate fix on the plot...these books are usually disposed of and they buy the series they want to reread later, in the "tankobon" (equivalent to a TPB) format.

As comic fans fret about the prices of their individual chapters, do you think a system like this could ever work for works in the US? People I've talked to seem doubtful. You can read more about the idea (not mine-- Tim Seeley's) here. I'm curious as to what you guys, the comics fans, think!

Man, I don't get around over here often enough at ALL! @_@ Getting the Vice established keeps me pretty busy ;)

But I did find time (on a plane) to write a short 'essay' on some of the similarities of President Obama's town hall meetings on the economy and the Q&A sessions that take place at conventions. Thought some of you might find it interesting, so here it is! :) (And hey, if you want to digg it, all the better!)

MTV has take it upon themselves to make fun of anime geeks, by transforming one from a cool anime nerd into a boring pop girl on Made-- not to mention the incredibly pathetic "Otaku Week" on MTV2 (*shudders*).

I want to stick it to 'em by getting people to nominate anime characters (like Gurren Lagann's Kamina or Cowboy Bebop's Spike Spiegel) for their Greatest Badass of All Time award. For the details, click here-- or if you REALLY want to help, Digg this!

Digg this!
