I HAVE heard several grown-ups say they aren’t the biggest fans of Millar’s stuff. I’ve not read any yet (although Kick-Ass is queued up), but Kees showed me a bit and Hit Girl is way cooler-looking in the movie. Also Kick-Ass himself is like, an underdeveloped 14-year-old, but I can see how that might be visually confusing to have too close in assumed age so I support making him an older teen.

Funny, I haven’t seen Wanted, but it got shit reviews and Kees told me I’d be afraid of Angelina’s bones shooting through her skin, so I resisted even the call of Sexy Goat Man. And since this movie has instilled a desire to see action heroines that aren’t sexualized, I’m thinking maybe I won’t.

I mean, it’s pretty much just Ripley and Hit Girl, plus half a point for Sarah Conner in T2.

Didn’t Mark Millar write “Kick-Ass?” He also wrote “Wanted” and I must say, it’s really rare that I say this but the movie adaptation of that was much, much, MUCH better than the book. Perhaps there’s a theme here?

LMAO at that last line! I’d totally pay to see that, too! 😉

Well, it’s faithful right up until the cop shows up at the apartment, and then it just goes off in a totally different direction, holding only to “and then there is a show-down at the end”.

I would pay big $$ to see “Chloe and Eliza Fuck Shit Up: 3D”.
