To Insanity and Beyond
I just got some good news regarding a former employer of mind, so I’ve been busy whooping it up, dancing, and celebrating with shots (skipping breakfast is really going to bit me on the ass). So rather than give you some re-tread of news from a few days ago I missed?like that the 300 prequel/sequel (which has to be titled 301) will be based on the battle seen at the tail end of the movie, and will be scripted as soon as Frank Miller does the graphic novel?instead you get this Toy Story 2/Dark Knight trailer mash-up. Enjoy, and I’ll be back with a punishing Fan Fiction Friday shortly.
