- On the heels of the release of the Kick-Ass 2 red band trailer Slate asks, “Is Kick-Ass 2 becoming just another super hero franchise?” I answer, “I don’t know, you tell me!” Hahah. That’s what we call an expert-level callback. -Slate

I just assumed Anna Wintour hated everything except austere bobs.

First off: oh little blind boy, you are wonderful!
Second: Those Shakespeare adaptations aren’t so much “cleverly disguised” as they are “location and names changed but otherwise pretty much exactly the same.” I mean, I think O was even advertised as an Othello adaptation. I believe in half these cases Hollywood wasn’t trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. (Also, I love Shakespeare adaptations so much. I did a Shakespeare adaptation for my senior thesis!)
I wonder if they will be shocked to find out Clueless bears some similarities to Emma.
Get out of here!
Although I shouldn’t talk, because it did take me until college to realize that Aslan was Jesus, and then it was because someone told me. And they were some of my favorite books! And I went to Catholic school! And I grew up to be an English major! How did I miss it?
We all have our blindness. For example, I had no idea The Usher family had anything untoward going on. Sure, the brother and sister lived together, in a dilapidated estate, away from society, and there was some talk about there not being branches on the family tree, but I’m sure its all just innocent fun! I bet they play a lot of cribbage!
Worse than missing it entirely, I think, is how damned clever I thought I was for figuring out that Aslan was Jesus after reading the series* oh, a few hundred times or so. I was so sure I was going to blow some other kids’ minds with that one.
*Except for The Last Battle, which I read exactly once, because surprisingly watching Narnia be destroyed and then finding out that three of the Pevensie children just died in a train crash was NOT delightful.
Let’s not even discuss how heartbroken I was when I found out Susan had stopped believing and now all she cared about was boys and makeup????? SUSAAAAAN! WHYYYYYY! FOR SOME REASON YOU WERE MY FAVORITE BESIDES EUSTACE!!!!!
Augh still mad about that also! Totally not fair that Peter, who’s older than Susan, would never lose faith in Narnia, but Susan would because she became one of those silly women-sorts. What about her amazing skills with archery? What’s makeup got on being an ACTUAL QUEEN?
Right, because the first Kick-Ass was such a trenchant deconstruction of the genre…
