Thank you, everyone!

I should note that the RIIFF website has been updated; they corrected the spelling of my name in one instance, plus they gave the correct credit, as agreed to by Joel and me: "by David C. Mathews [sic] and Joel Davis". (Still misspelled my name in that case, but, well, can't win 'em all, I guess…)

Dave, The Brave One starring Jodie Foster actually got good reviews, so it wasn't necessarily a bad movie.  Not sure about the other ones yet but I know the Brave one was something people were interested in watching.

Point taken with The Brave One, and I didn't mean to cast aspertions on that movie; I merely wanted to make the point that when there's a trend of certain kinds of movies flopping at the box office (whether it's movies with female leads, or cel-animated movies, or movies in 3-D*, whatever) Hollywood very rarely looks at mitigating circumstances (maybe the script sucked, maybe it was badly directed or poorly acted) and instead pounces on one superficial aspect to then decide not to make any more movies of that type.

*by which I mean the kind which require special glasses to see "3-dimensional" effects.  Which is another case that makes my point.  After the success of the first couple of 3-D flicks in the '50s, those things were cranked out almost by the yard, until the box-office dried up for them, and Hollywood decided that the public had grown tired of 3-D.  When the reality was more likely that most of the later movies that tried to capitalize on the success of the first3-D movies were simply bad.

Congratulations David!!! 

Any chance of:
A.  This screenplay being made into a movie? 

Well, I think its chances of being produced are better now… whether that means up from "none" to "slim", I don't know.

and
B.  Us being able to read a small bit of it, as a preview, or something…?

Thanks!

That I'll have to look into… it's jointly copyrighted by Joel and me, so on that score there shouldn't be a problem.  Whether publishing excerpts from it will hurt its value as a movie property, I'll have to find out.  If I can, I'll post something from it either here or at my dA page, maybe both.

It actually <i>is</i> very good; and if this is "just a sketch", then I for one would like to see a fininshed and colored version (if you're so inclined).

Great drawing!

I like the effort that shows on her face… if Power Girl has to strain to support this weight, it must be inconceivably heavy!

Three cheers and a tiger for you!

And for that reason, in keeping with men loving their wives it was never okay for a husband to strike a wife.  EVER. 

Better not say that to these people. (Disclaimer: I have not been able to determine whether this site is a hoax or not.)

Hi, welcome to Amaz0ns!  I think you'll like it here.

(I noticed that I hadn't added you to my watch list on dA for some reason… that oversight has now been corrected!)

I don't smoke, myself, and I don't have many friends who smoke (but that's because I don't have many friends  ;D ), and I find smoking to be a disgusting habit, so it's something that usually doesn't occur to me to have one of my characters doing.  When I do (and it's a rare occasion), it's usually to show a villain(ness) smoking cigarettes (as in Panel 2 of this page of my first Satin Steele comic)… unpleasant people engaging in unpleasant habits, ne?  (Almost makes me want to go back and add a scene of Winston lighting up in the Tetsuko comic.)

Welcome to Amaz0ns, Jean!  You've already got quite a few fans here.

Now that's a nice drawing!
