717PM mountain.
Have found the only noticeable Asian restaurant in town. I think I
like Thai food more than Chinese. This place is Chinese. Sad face.

Nude series VIII, 1917. Watercolor on paper. Nude series in general is awesome.

323PM mountain Tues March 24
Georgia O’Keefe museum. This lady is awesome. Just had five-minute
conversation with security guard about xmen and transformers. He has
action figures. Just picked up a hardcover of transformers comics and
is super excited yay for him!
Back to O’Keefe… She also did a lot of figures in watercolor, which
tend to get ignored in the history books. I wish they weren’t because
they are super monumental in the way of gesture. It’s very instant,
very spur of the moment. You can feel her brush strokes. Her more color
fieldy stuff is… Color field. Eh. But her figures! Holy shit.

Mom just ordered my dinner for me and caught herself halfway. I’m glad
things have changed. Kind of.

534PM mountain
her: “How about there? That looks like a food place”
me: “The Ore House?”
her: “Ooooh… I get it. Maybe not. It’s a cantina.”

Watchmen Update — Opening March 6th As Planned

I will admit that I have been ignoring the articles sprinkling on the internet every couple of days as to whether or not Watchmen will be released on time. I’m already dealing with Harry Potter being released at a later time even though I don’t want to see it and the Twilight whores clogging every internet tube available. The Wolverine movie’s upcoming unveiling keeps hope alive (do NOT fuck up Gambit’s portrayal, so help me christ). Mostly.

BUT NO MORE MUST I EVADE THE SCARY WORDS for Fox and Warner Bros have decided with money (WB to Fox) and other things. The movie is to be opened, as planned, on March 6, 2009. The official statement will be released today to soothe the world’s nerds’ nerves.

Woot. The nitty gritty from The Hollywood Reporter:

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the deal is said to involve a sizable cash payment to Fox and a percentage of the film’s boxoffice grosses; Fox will not be a co-distributor on the film, nor will it co-own the “Watchmen” property, but it will share in revenue derived from it. The studios released a joint statement last night [Jan 14].

“Warner Bros. acknowledges that Fox acted in good faith in bringing its claims, which were asserted prior to the start of principal photography,” the statement read. “Fox acknowledges that Warner Bros. acted in good faith defending against those claims.”

Fox sued Warners in February, claiming copyright infringement based on agreements the studio had with producer Larry Gordon. Feess ruled Dec. 24 that Gordon did not secure proper rights to “Watchmen” from Fox before shopping the project and setting it up at Warners.

Feess’ decision prompted settlement talks to heat up because Warners faced the prospect of an injunction stopping its March 6 release of the $130 million comic book adaptation.
