Now there’s a trio: the Tinker, Evans, and Chance of Media Nerdom.
Time has a fun interview with Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman. They both have movies coming out on September 30th.
NG: It will be National Geek Day.
Gaiman talks about repeated attempts to adapt Books of Magic for film, how they end up as trainwrecks.
Whedon talks about that Wonder Woman adaptation he’s supposed to be writing and directing (but hasn’t written as of yet.)
The Guardian interviewed Hayao Miyazaki (Howl’s Moving Castle opened in the UK this month.)
Miyazaki thinks hand-drawn animation’s a dying art, but isn’t upset about it.
If it is a dying craft we can’t do anything about it. Civilisation moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That’s rare in any era.
