I saw the trailer for this movie yesterday when I saw "Lord of the Rings".
Based on what I saw, I don't think there's going to be much middle ground
on the resulting movie -- it's either going to be a lot of fun to watch, or
utter crap-o-la.

My money's on the latter...

Huh. Sci-fi retro alternate history about robots and airplanes.

If only somebody would do a sci-fi retro alternate history about
spaceflight...

....Well, there was reportedly one studio considering _Ministry of
Space_, but after they saw how big a dickwad Warren Ellis was towards
those who were understandably ****ed about the delay in the third
issue, they reportedly ditched the idea.

Warren may have had a valid reason, but his method of damage control
was akin to hiring Michael Jackson to run a day care center...

Did issue 3 ever come out? I was waiting for it, but, like a Babylon-5
theatrical movie... it just took too damned long and I lost interest.

I'm glad you spotted this...they talk about it in "Ain't It Cool News":

And yes indeed; this sounds like my kind of movie!

I haven't seen the previews, but you know it's funny how some movies fall
into that either/or category.

I mean most you can probably place on a line from sucky-great based on
previews, but others you just know it's going to be one or the other.

Of course I finally got around to watching T3 the other night. If someone
had told me it was supposed to be a comedy, I'd probably have gotten around
to watching it even sooner. (I will say the ending was good, but that's
about it.)

....According to Warren, it's supposed to ship in March or April. The
artist has released a couple of pages that look good, but don't give
away any of the plot. The various comic forums have predicted that,
just to spite all of us, he'll balk on revealing where the Limeys got
the money and end the mini on a "huh?" note.

....An aside note: Anyone who's enquired about the status of _Ministry
of Space_ #3 has gotten one of two responses: 1) A '**** off and don't
bother me about it' terse reply, and/or 2) Simply found that Warren
trashed the query and has now blocked your e-mail address, according
to the autoreply from his AOHell account. The attitude has knocked
Warren down quite a few dozen pegs in everyone's opinion of him, and
actually has me wanting to bitchslap him for being a limey prig if I
ever meet him face to face. As it stands now, I've urged a boycott of
all Warren Ellis books and efforts until he finishes _MoS_.

Again, yea, I know he's been sick/father died/dog got run over by
drunk grandma driving through a street market and all that, but he
didn't have to be a dickwad about it...

Oh come on.... the Terminatrix was evil, and deserved to have that
urinal smashed over her head.
