10,000 spoons when all you want is a knife...

Two ironies noted today and over the weekend:
1.) The African Dance Troupe performing in front of a large, steely-eyed poster of Uncle Sam pointing accusingly.
2.) Some slides I had to take care of today came out of a book entitled The gods of Earth and Sky. If there had been a "four" anywhere in the title, I would have not opened the thing.

My poem got rejected again. Encouraging notes are good, though. Next market.

Even Dumber than the Samurai Jack Movie Idea....

Okay. So, most people who read this journal on a semi-regular basis know why there isn't going to be a movie about the Trojan War.

Wait. Did I say, "isn't?" Let me correct. "Shouldn't be."
But since when has such a small thing as "Good Lord, that Thing Ought Not to Be" stopped anyone?

I quote from an article I found in Arc's journal, talking about the proposed Batman vs. Superman movie. (Which, by the way, I can see upsetting three groups of people: those who like Batman, those who like Superman, and those who like both Batman and Superman. Wait - aren't those all the people who would be interested in watching the movie?)

Ahem.
Petersen [the slated director] is attached to a number of other projects at Warner Bros. These include the Orson Scott Card sci-fi series "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow" as well as the epic "The Trojan War." He said his interest in those projects continues.
