FascistWatch: Green Hornet director Michael Gondry calls fanboys… welll…

His eyes light up when he mentions Rogen, but the reaction of the fanboys and bloggers to the prospect of The Green Hornet – which the director describes as a “super-antihero movie” – could hardly have been more hostile. During the film’s presentation at San Diego’s Comic-Con this summer, the Q&A session was almost drowned out by the stampede of walkouts. Gondry sneers quite magnificently at the memory. “I usually identify with the nerds,” he points out, “but these ones just reinforce the social rules. Their values are fascistic. All those people marching around in capes and masks and boots. The superhero imagery is totally fascist!” He’s on a roll now. “When you step into this genre, they feel it belongs to them. They want you to conform, or they won’t like you. They want the conventional. But it’s fine. The movie’s been doing very well, I think, whenever we’ve screened it to normal people.”

FlipFlopWatch: Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, the man behind the Tokyo law to restrict the sale of explicit sexual comics to people under 18 has had his own words from 1975 thrown back at him. In his book “Shinjitsu no Sei-kyoiku” (The True Sex Education) he claimed that “no book can motivate children to commit a crime or turn to juvenile delinquency.”

In a press conference yesterday, he’s stated that he was wrong back then.

“All I know is that when I hear a reboot, I assume they’re going to recast everybody. But, yah, in principle, there was already supposed to be a second one but it never happened. It’s their option. But I had a blast doing it.”
