Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I don't understand the bitching regarding the new Crow. It's not taking ANYTHING away from Brandon's adaptation or his legacy, if the reboots didn't why is Bills the only one being treated as such? And we're getting a more in depth look to the characters. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Brandon's adaptation and it will forever be my favorite but getting a more in depth look at Eric and Shelley, more into their relationship, and the whole scene with Eric talking to death, that's pretty fucking cool! Hell the graphic novels and comics were way more gritty and graphic and gore ridden. No one is taking a thing from Brandon's version, this is more just expanding on the characters. If the shitty movie remakes and the series didn't take anything from Brandon's, Bill's adaptation won't take anything from it either.
So I’ve been thinking about The Crow a lot recently, so here’s a recurring thought:
More obviously inhuman crows. Sure, in cannon they already have an uncanny crazed feeling to them but like
- Crows don’t blink, or if they do, it’s not when they’re supposed to. And they seem to lose time staring at seemingly nothing a lot of the time. It’s not obvious in the moment, but any time they’re idle, they’re either facing toward where they died, or their next target, even if they have no way of knowing where they are.
- Their deaths leave traces. When Eric moves, you can hear his bones scrape against each other from how shattered they are. Ashe’s hair drips constantly and never dries. If he stays in one spot for too long it leaves a puddle.
- The dead don’t breathe, but when their emotions run high sometimes they go through the motions of it. Their chest can rise and fall like it’s supposed to, but no air is being moved.
I don’t know if this is anything, but the thought gets stuck in my head. Does else have any thoughts along these lines?
