EMPIRE strikes...


as i write this, i'm at Borders (free Wi-Fi weekends this month for T-mobile customers... woo-hoo!)reading the April issue of british entertainment mag EMPIRE (hey, it has the X3 cast on the cover!)... it has an interview with comics god Alan Moore, discussing why he not only wanted his name taken off
V for Vendetta (the mostly DOPE adaptation of the comic he did in the 80's with artist David Lloyd), but he refused to take any money for it! the interview is unbelievable (unless you're familiar with Moore, in which case it makes perfect sense...)!

Also in this issue:
*an interview with my future Wife, Rosario Dawson

*a layout with super-fresh movie themed Kubricks action figures

*an interview of Harrison Ford that is "the longest interview [Empire has] ever done" with a list of his Top 10 performances

*an article on the "selfish neuroses" of Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther); a great analytical article about A History Of Violence

* Props for the directoral debut (i think!) of my favorite screen writer, Shane Black(Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight): the noirish Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (which i haven't reviewed 'cause i haven't seen it... somebody buy me the DVD!!)

*a list of the 20 best comicbook movies ever, which did not include The Crow (feh! the fools!) but did include Popeye (nice!)...

definitely the most fun i've had reading a magazine in years! no really!

cheers!
samax.
