I'll believe it when I see it, but . . . .

Courtesy of moonandserpent: Elfquest movie inches closer to actual existence.

I've always assumed the thing would never happen, but if it did . . . folks, this is one of the deep foundational stories in my head, one of the things that's been with me for years and years and years. A movie would either be awesome or a travesty. I'm willing to risk the latter for the chance of the former.

And now I need to persuade myself that the things I have to get done today take priority over curling up with Elfquest.

OMG YAY!!!!!! And have I mentioned Squee??

ElfQuest has been my favorite comic since my bio dad handed me his Starblaze editions and told me to amuse myself so he could get some writing done.

I got hooked on it by a friend at the age of 11 or 12.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it too, but I remain hopeful.

I am highly amused by seeing everybody's EQ icons come out for the occasion. ^_^

Trying to recall when the first Elfquest movie rumors/reports first came out; think it's been at least 20 years, so it's really something that I'll believe when it's in the theaters.

1981. So nearly thirty years. As I said, I'll believe it when I see it -- and I wouldn't hold my breath for the latter.

Ooooooh that would be SO SO COOL! PLEASE let it happen!

Don't get too excited. The potential movie has been in development hell for going on thirty years; there's no guarantee this time will be the charm.

Hope springs eternal!

After the reminder that all of the comics are online, I have spent most of the afternoon rereading EQ instead of studying for my Feminist Philosophy exam tomorrow.

...reading about female wolfriders is sort of like studying for feminist philosophy... right?

Right! Hey, I once wrote an archaeology paper about them, so why not?

(No worries about the double-post. I'll delete the other.)

Can you say "coolest archaeology paper EVAR?"

Er, ah... sorry about that. The lousy Irish internet crapped out on me once again.
