Alexia can you please give a brief explanation about &lt;i&gt;Ginger Girls: The Secret Lives Of Redheads&lt;/i&gt; and why you decided to create this film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ginger Girls&lt;/i&gt; is a documentary project about girls with natural red hair. I am interviewing girls for the documentary, photographing them for a book and working with them on various collaborative levels. Tonight we are having a fashion show in NYC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to make this film because it is more personal to me and I wanted to work with other talented, successful redheads and empower the term, Ginger Girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If you weren’t a redhead yourself would you have still have made this film?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe not, but I have heard of other photographers that have been interested in Gingers who were not ginger themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. What is one myth that you proved a falsehood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That Gingers are firecrackers. They are all different. I believe there are many stereotypes about redheads that are false and I hope to show that in the film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Do you mention any fictional redheads in Ginger Girls?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we do mention some fictional characters like Pippi Longstocking! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Z07sxQH2SI/TyfGFnROOGI/AAAAAAAAABU/yv46LuXU8HU/s1600/384px-Pippi_Longstocking_book_cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" width="205" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Z07sxQH2SI/TyfGFnROOGI/AAAAAAAAABU/yv46LuXU8HU/s320/384px-Pippi_Longstocking_book_cover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Where will the film be shown and on what dates?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We plan to finish the film at the end of 2012 and be playing festivals in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Finally, is this film going to be available in any digital form after the film festivals?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that will be up to the distributor, but many films are now going from festivals to theatrical, tv, online and more. I am filming Ginger updates so people don't have to wait until the whole movie is done and we are doing events in NYC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gingerly yours, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-97vLTonjJNk/TyfGsKXlgFI/AAAAAAAAABg/jK5vrYvWHOE/s1600/316419_219296528141626_207225236015422_524555_1166013013_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" width="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-97vLTonjJNk/TyfGsKXlgFI/AAAAAAAAABg/jK5vrYvWHOE/s320/316419_219296528141626_207225236015422_524555_1166013013_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow Ginger Girls on Twitter, and/or Facebook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Please note that I am using the pictures displayed above for educational, non-profit purposes.

Krul and some others are dropping their new DC titles for various reasons. Now while I won't talk about the titles or creators specifically, I will say that it is never a good idea to drop a job just after a short time. While no job is ever easy, I believe that in this economy one should stick with guaranteed work for long enough, at least, that a positive reference is acquired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as for the New DC, this kind of sudden leaving could strike a blow against the positive marketing and mindset that they are trying to create. For example newer, or returning readers could be turned off by the writing team replacing Krul on Green Arrow. Of course the opposite could prove just as true. We will know within the next several months which titles will succeed and which floundered.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-6145333052070903818?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/6145333052070903818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2011/09/jumping-ship-on-job-or-dc-52-drop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6145333052070903818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6145333052070903818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2011/09/jumping-ship-on-job-or-dc-52-drop.html' title='Jumping ship on a job or The DC 52 Drop'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-6129021008918809323</id><published>2011-09-17T13:21:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-17T13:35:21.065-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Men of War'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sgt.

Rock comics among others such as Thor. He stopped reading comics quite awhile before I was born. Now I recently gave my dad Men of War # 1 as an experiment to see what his opinions were of Sgt. Frank Rock's grandson Joe. My dad felt the Joe Rock story should have had flashback references to the original Sgt. Rock. His opinion was that it felt like a one-off type comic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Joe Rock ever saw ink to page as a character, my dad and I had talked about pitching a grandson to Sgt. Rock to DC at some point. The title, as thought out by my dad and I, would have explored the Rock's family tree and the current wars in the Middle East.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-6129021008918809323?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/6129021008918809323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-dads-opinion-about-new-men-of-war-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6129021008918809323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6129021008918809323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-dads-opinion-about-new-men-of-war-1.html' title='My Dad&apos;s Opinion About The New Men Of War # 1'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-7839210394017172239</id><published>2011-09-11T12:21:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T12:30:07.887-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Doctor Who'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Melody Pond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amy Pond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Episode'/><title type='text'>Tears from a Who Episode</title><content type='html'>I almost cried due to the latest doctor who episode "The Girl Who Waited", because of the ending.

I mean ABC/Disney not trying to figure out some way to save soap operas, and gas prices being blown up, the economy is still messed up. Of course partly I think the current heads of ABC programming are either crazy, or on drugs, due to giving the axe to two forty year something soap operas. Staples of American pop culture such as One Life to Live and All My Children have endured longer than these programmers have probably held their current jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gas Prices on the other hand should not be jumping as fast as they have been. I mean please, oil companies &amp; warmongers are just trying to capitalize on the global and social problems we face. We need to peacefully protest this treatment of our wallets and livelihoods. This is especially true because the average person can't afford the pain that comes from the pump. We also need cleaner energy sources so another oil spill or nuclear meltdown won't happen.

What I read was stupid because people were judging the CGI in a negative way. Come on, the costume in the comics is made of light. Another thing is Hal Jordan in comics has never been the best with money, so how would he be able to afford replacement costumes. Commenters also said that this movie was racist, mostly because they probably only know John Stewart A.K.A. Green Lantern from Justice League and Unlimited.

This is my personal opinion. (Really hoping that they don't get rid of the Hulk from the roster.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bruce Willis is great in RED but Richard Dreyfuss is weak. Richard Dreyfuss just can't play sinister. The movie as a whole is great and well worth seeing.

Anyone who thinks that Spider-Man's recent and relatively recent story arcs are good is insane. I mean the Spider-Man &amp; Mary Jane relationship is something that got screwed over by Joe Quesada and Joe keeps tightening the screws. This will cause the same problems the Legion of Super-Heroes had after Crisis On Infinite Earths. In other words the same story will keep being done or reboot ad infinitum.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-7748521762993561773?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/7748521762993561773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-person-is-nuts-regarding-spider.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/7748521762993561773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/7748521762993561773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-person-is-nuts-regarding-spider.html' title='This person is Nuts regarding Spider-Man'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-3640297323824654882</id><published>2010-09-06T11:14:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T11:17:54.134-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gorshin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riddler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Song'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Frank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Batman'/><title type='text'>Frank Gorshin</title><content type='html'>I found a cool Frank Gorshin the Riddler song on Dial B for Blog.

Your timing was fine last time by the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Do you ever feel that your imagination runs wild to the point you want to act out the scene to an extent?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mmm. Not really. Unless you count playing paintball once a year...  ; )   I did learn how to fence in preparation for the few pages in Super Spy the reference fencing - it was great - I ended up watching a ton of pirate movies after that with sword fighting in them. Still not sure that's out of my system.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Is there anything you can say about your next upcoming book?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's called "The Strange Crimes of Red Wheelbarrow" - similar structure to Super Spy but not quite as sprawling - set in the 1960s and it's basically my take on the crime genre - but I'm trying to focus on the less obvious crimes - no heists and no murders (well, hardly any of that)...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. What is one television show that has continued to influence your work?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wire - it's changed how I think about serialized stories and how I think about the world - it's that good.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. How much, on a scale of one to ten with ten being greatly, has your art style evolved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 - no one will ever see my early mini-comics - unless you bought them back in the early 90s - it's crazy how different (bad) they were.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Which legendary comic creator would you like to be compared with in terms of writing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, hopefully none - I'd rather just be something like Joseph Heller of comics. ; )&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you again for your time,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-2784881169886596264?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/2784881169886596264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/matt-kindt-noir-bar-interview-part-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/2784881169886596264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/2784881169886596264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/matt-kindt-noir-bar-interview-part-2.html' title='Matt Kindt Noir Bar Interview Part 2 Final Part'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-6165541462216987408</id><published>2010-08-29T20:27:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-29T20:38:05.631-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Disney'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cartoons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Animation'/><title type='text'>Man Disney once had some variety</title><content type='html'>I believe one of Disney's failings is the lack of variety in the programming department.

You said it was okay to interview you for my blog. I will be sending a second half with five ending interview questions after these five have been answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What is your worst memory related to a comic convention?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My arms covered with poison ivy for a 3-day con -- and wearing a sport coat over it so I wouldn't completely gross-out everyone that came up to my table -- it was hot and arms were crusty from puss. Horrible.&lt;br /&gt; 2. Best memory related to a comic convention?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first San Diego Comic Con back in 2000 and signing/selling my first book.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. How many comics did you create before working for Vertigo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably 1,500 pages worth -- 6 graphic novels and a bunch of mini comics. And three new graphic novels due next year post-Vertigo.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4. If you could write any pre-established character from any medium, who would you chose and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any of Jack Kirby's 4th World characters -- because they are all so crazy and there is so much untapped potential and ideas he wasn't allowed to get to. I have a specific storyline/character but I'm saving that in case I actually get to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. If you were a game either Chess or Checkers which would you be and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chess -- it's the ultimate party game.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-4518860224507428568?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/4518860224507428568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/matt-kindt-noir-bar-interview-part-1.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/4518860224507428568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/4518860224507428568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/matt-kindt-noir-bar-interview-part-1.html' title='Matt Kindt Noir Bar Interview Part 1'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-2003955889161468156</id><published>2010-08-15T18:14:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T18:39:25.930-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Critics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mini-Review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movie'/><title type='text'>Expendables 1 and Many Critics 0</title><content type='html'>Any critic can be wrong, because a criticism is just an opinion. No matter how well informed an opinion is it's not a fact. The Expendables was billed as an action movie from the start. The thing is this movie has some depth in Mickey Rourke's monologue. Mild romance between Charisma Carpenter and Jason Statham, which is believable in it's minimalism. The only weak part is some of the resolution for the Gunnar character played by Dolph Lundgren. Now is it incredibly deep and have a message, no, but it does what it was set out to do. It is the best action film many of these stars and actors have been in years. In conclusion most critics are in love with art house films, while some just want to be entertained.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-2003955889161468156?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/2003955889161468156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/expendables-1-and-many-critics-0.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/2003955889161468156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/2003955889161468156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/expendables-1-and-many-critics-0.html' title='Expendables 1 and Many Critics 0'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-1043691063082543470</id><published>2010-08-09T18:17:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-09T18:22:46.230-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kilowog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Green Lantern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movie'/><title type='text'>Love The First Green Lantern Picture of Kilowog</title><content type='html'>http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21293&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the above web address shows Green Lantern fans what to expect from the upcoming movie.

One reason is because how Marvel is treating characters like Loki, Spider-Man, Thunderbolt Ross, and so many others. I just can't respect a company that doesn't respect their assets. The second reason is this Heroic Age nonsense which I find to be negating the heroes past heroics. I mean yes the stories are still there but Marvel just cannibalizes the past and exploits the flaws in heroes like Iron Man too much. They are narrowly focused on the movies, and not enough on the comics which could help provide new stories for new movies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-7356179591983920709?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/7356179591983920709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/05/marvelous-no-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/7356179591983920709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/7356179591983920709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/05/marvelous-no-more.html' title='Marvelous no more'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-659832633890023616</id><published>2010-02-28T22:40:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-28T22:42:16.435-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Just plain wrong of me</title><content type='html'>Apparently I was wrong in my last post, because Tivo is listing the new episode titles, before correctly showing the rerun title.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-659832633890023616?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/659832633890023616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/02/just-plain-wrong-of-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/659832633890023616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/659832633890023616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/02/just-plain-wrong-of-me.html' title='Just plain wrong of me'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-5537497299543983006</id><published>2010-02-21T23:51:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-22T00:01:21.360-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Batman The Bold Mistake?</title><content type='html'>I am slightly peeved that Warner Bros. screwed with the U.S. episode order of batman the brave and the bold.

The problem is getting the head honchos to notice and implement this idea. I suggest that anyone and everyone who cares about comics should send DC and Marvel letters, e-mails, blog and vlog about it, go to cons and get people talking, bring it up in interviews even. Heck it might even help the economy. Together we just might make it work. One final thing is some of the spare money we comic fans could save could be used to help Haiti.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/208781710663365442-6259167623658270069?l=rippersspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/feeds/6259167623658270069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/01/saving-comic-industry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6259167623658270069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/208781710663365442/posts/default/6259167623658270069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rippersspot.blogspot.com/2010/01/saving-comic-industry.html' title='Saving the comic industry'/><author><name>Ben Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12851511036535866628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7y3wy2dJgE/SXIzU5ZeGTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7cPaswvi3Sk/S220/scan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208781710663365442.post-742994385450218519</id><published>2010-01-21T17:32:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T17:55:28.724-06:00</updated><title type='text'>DC Publisher Speculation</title><content type='html'>http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dc-comics-new-publisher-100121.html#comments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Newsarama link showcases what I think is ill-conceived speculation about possible candidates for the position of publisher of DC Entertainment. The only four choices that make sense are: A) Someone not on the list, B) Dan Didio, C) Avi Arad, or D) Bruce Timm. I believe that choices A and C have the same chance of happening, make of this what you will. Bruce Timm would be an interesting choice because he seems to understand the creative side of comics and other media as well as the business side. Timm also is a well known media figure so if he is given the position and agrees to it, it may draw attention to DC Entertainment from certain news sources. Dan Didio may get the job, but then again he may not, personally I would prefer Didio remaining editor-in-chief.
