“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
Pretty. Kong is smaller than I thought he'd be, though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, though I like it that way. It will probably be a little easier to get the physics on him to look right, and it definitely keeps the beast more easy to relate to.
ReplyDeleteOkay, totally got a big stiffy. Peter Jackson should be worshipped as some sort of modern demigod/hero.
ReplyDeleteBlah. Sure it's pretty, but it's King Kong and i've seen it before and colorized it frame by frame. I wish he'd done the adaptation of the Lovely Bones that he'd been talking about. If it proves to be better than King Homer, than I might go see it.
