BLASPHEMY!!!
That movie is awesome!
...Granted, it's not at all like the graphic novels. Actually, it's pretty much a kick square in the nuts of the GNs. But I love it. As well as the GNs (which I read before seeing the movie.)

I don't care for the idea of a TUA movie. I agree with The Rumor: I think that it's too young, and I'd like to know more about the characters before I see a movie.

I heard they were making a movie on TUA too! I can't wait! It's gonna be an awesome movie! I'm reading the comic and it's really good!

I'm sure Gerard would be so happy, and I hope if it actually happens he has the right amount of say in it, as that is normally what causes things like this to go down hill. Fingers crossed!

holy hell, I love thisSmile But it'd be cool to go through the comic then the movie to see what stayed the same in the characters, the plot, and everything else. Coolness!!! I'd surely go and see that shit!!

Dude, I LOVE Tank Girl. Haven't read the comic book though, that's probably why XD

I think it'd be great if TUA was made into an animated movie. Somehow I don't think live-action would do it justice. =/
I'm not sure Gee would let them do it though, unless he had like a MAJOR part in making it, with how he talks about giving up the rights to stuff...
But if they do get his permission and make it, I pray it's good. I PRAY it does the comic justice. <3

^Yeah, I have to jump on the lovefest for Tank Girl. Just sayin'...there's no cooler lady than Tank. And the movie was FUN, dammit! Very Happy


And I was thinking that an animated movie would be better too, I don't know. There's a LOT of comic movies coming out these days, all live action. It'd be cool to see an animated movie in Gee's style.

yyyeeesssss. that would be awesome! I've already picked out several actors that I think would be excellent as the characters. x)

EDIT: actually, now that I think of it, Christina Ricci doesn't seem.. exactly right as the rumor. she seems more like vanya, in a way. :shrug:

I agree with the people who think it's too early to even start a script. More backstory needs written, more character developments need to be made. I fear that the movie would suck if production began at this time.

I'd want them to be unknowns, to be honest.
I was actually imagining it animated.

Yeah, Gee did say something about that.
Or was it Number 5?
I'm not quite sure.
Hmm.. *goes and re-reads comics*
Has anybody here gotten the the issue that was given out on Free Comic Book Day?
I'm curious, and call me stupid, but is it worth $13.99 on Amazon?
One dude is selling it for that price, and I need to know if it's worth it or if I can get it cheaper someplace else.

I'm pretty sure he said The Horror.

I got it, depends, if you're collecting it's worth it, if not then no.
Buy the paperback, I think that's got it in there, along with all the other issues, and it might be cheaper.

Nope, G said he doesn't know when we're going to find out about The Horror. Series II is going to be about my boy #5.

Oh okay, my bad.
I always get mixed up between #5 and Horror, thanks for the correction.

I wonder when he'll be writing the 2nd series?
and releasing it.
'Cause last time, I ended up buying the book and not separate comics.
Because I was unaware he had written a comic.
They need to advertise it more.
