Aw, Gaiman, why you gotta play like that?
Neil Gaiman is scripting the James Cameron-assisted movie version of Journey to the West.

I feel really kinda queasy about this. There are no few Asian writers for whom this story came with their milk teeth, like Cinderella does to an English-speaker, and Gaiman has been...bad...about stuff relating to other cultures before. I really doubt that having been for a visit to China is enough to justify his treatment of the script.

(And let's not talk about James Cameron. Ick.)

Mercredigirl over at Dreamwidth has more to say.

	Because we take everything he says and does as holy writ, and have no argument with him or his works, and never have. (Thanks again for those issues of Spawn, Neil. No, really. vomits delicately) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It takes a lot longer though. On the plus side, nobody has to hold your head back. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	But Ann, if you're a fan of someone, it means you NEVER EVER QUESTION AND ONLY OFFER UNDYING SUPPORT OF ANYTHING they produce. No one who calls their self a fan would ever ever question anything... except for the ones who do...oh, WAIT A MINUTE. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Thank you. I will adore Good Omens till the day I die, but that doesn't mean I'm down with Neil defending his wife's Nazi bullshit comments. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
