    Oh I want more Bowie and more Lloyd. Let's just have a movie with Bowie and Lloyd. They can just chat or something. #harrypotter

    @Davio: The movie could be "David Bowie and Christopher Lloyd Ride in a Car". I'd totally go to a theater and pay ten bucks to see it. It'd be brilliant. #harrypotter

    Reading this makes me think that Twilight might be reasonably good if it were made with a little more Reagan in the air. Apply the same principles as this comic, and you've got some golden awful.

    It works the other way, too. Imagine if The Neverending Story were made now. It would be all angst and desaturated colors. #harrypotter

    It would be the greatest show ever made solely because of the inclusion of David Bowie. That guy is more versatile than most people think. I mean, he was great as Tesla in 'The Prestige'. Still overly under-used today.

    I want to see more David Bowie in my films. #harrypotter

    @Tomb: R.O.A.C.H.: There was definitely an "excellent" in there too though. That kind of made me squee a little 'cause I miss me some of that. Every once in awhile my girlfriend makes me say "excellent" in the Cyberleader voice, only she makes me say it so it sounds like "egg-salad." #doctorwho

    I was considering trying my hand at constructing a 4th Doctor audio adventure using sound bites from the Tom Baker version of Hound of the Baskervilles and a few other sources, but this it going *way* overboard when it comes to fan productions. #doctorwho

    It's things like this that make me overjoyed to be a fanboy. The uneasy collision of 70's British sci-fi with classic Japanese animation? Effing genius! I can't wait to see it completed.

    (And I think they meant "Macross" more in style than content, kids.) #doctorwho

    Love that "Out of the Eye" Cyberman shot in the second clip. The transition between fast/smooth to slow/ridged animations is a bit jarring, something that could definitely use a bit more smoothing. Using the voices from the TV show for the principle actors is a good idea, although when you hear the non-professionals (or at those thugs), it definitely reminds you this a fan work. Still, looks really interesting. The "stereotypical anime girl" is a good idea, but it remains to be seen if she'll work and how deep her character is. #doctorwho

    @comics0026: That was a really nice transition. It shows a great deal of the exuberance of an amateur production, along with some of the flaws, but I would like to see it continued.

    And anime Brigadier Aleister Lethbridge-Stewart equals pure win. #doctorwho
