book reading mean
I'm a big comic book geek and I've been reading comic books since pretty much since I was five or six in 1971 or something like that. So, I mean, I read it all and there's certainly a lot of different iterations of Superman that I personally have enjoyed more than others.
four pages scripts
I did three or four weeks of work on 'Godzilla;' it wasn't a page-one rewrite or anything like that. The term is 'script doctoring,' is what I did on it.
games digging thrones
I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'
Superman is not as innately cool as Batman.
thinking regard revising
I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history.
book reading writing
I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I'm a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It's the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds.
demon embedded reason
Mysticism and the supernatural are embedded in the show - it's called 'Da Vinci's Demons' for a reason, and it's not just metaphorical.
people telling-stories stories
I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.
book long greek
I've long said that comic books are the modern equivalent of our Greek myths.
thinking would-be aliens
I think if we ever encountered aliens, even communicating with them would be really, really difficult.
looks aliens species
I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'
ideas feelings sometimes
I relate to the feeling that Da Vinci was often plagued by the idea that what he did wasn't good enough, that he was his harshest critic. He'd sometimes destroy what he was working on.
reading school kids
When I was a kid, I read many more Marvel comics than I did DC. As I got older, in high school and then in college, I started reading more DC.
character memorable games
Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.
