The internet loves you, and it brings you fun things. Today:
Twilight-haters will no doubt have even more to complain about, but I don’t care: Stephenie Meyer’s The Host to be made into a movie.
From Wired: Get to know the Surrogates comic before the movie hits.
Fun little comic page by Matthew Sheret and Julia Scheele.
Jason Aaron has some thoughts on Scalped. You know, the best comic that comes out each month. (He didn’t say that. I did.)
Another story from Wired. I don’t know why I’m linking it, really. Those illustrations are sort of cool, I guess. Who’s the artist? Oh, some guy named Ryan Kelly…
One of the only reviews of Jennifer’s Body that I’ve seen that doesn’t spend half its time complaining about Diablo Cody (see comments on Stephenie Meyer).
I’ll repost this under events, but I found it interesting: from Johanna Draper Carlson, a lecture by Noah Berlatsky, whose blog examines classic Wonder Woman comics.

The Jennifer’s Body link appears to be broken.

That, and god forbid a review of a movie that Cody wrote should mention her. So far, the reviews I’ve seen say that she stuck to a grey area with the script instead of going in any one direction, and that the director than made that decision even worse.
I loved Juno, but Diablo Cody once said that writing is the hardest job in the world, and since then I’ve had a hard time liking her.
