Burlyman Entertainment
Burlyman Entertainment is a comic book company created by The Wachowskis, best known as the writer/director duo behind the ''Matrix Trilogy''. History "Burlyman" was ''The Matrix Reloaded'' and ''Revolutions production codename. According to the films' visual effects supervisor John Gaeta, the title is a reference to a film they all loved; the Coen brothers' ''Barton Fink''. He points out that the Wachowskis agonized and struggled to make the ''Matrix'' films, just like Fink had to, to write "The Burlyman" screenplay, a wrestling picture. In the introduction to ''The Matrix Comics Vol. 1'' anthology, editor Spencer Lamm recounts an alternative origin what the Watchowskis ostensibly told him: that The Burlyman was the name of the Watchowskis' first script, a wrestling picture; that Lana Wachowski had not seen ''Barton Fink'' because it was subtitled (and when corrected, didn't want to see a movie that sounded like it ''should'' be subtitled); and that Lilly Wachowski had seen it an ...

Comic Book Creator
developed specialized terminology. Some several attempts have been made to formalize and define the terminology of comics by authors such as Will Eisner, Scott McCloud, R. C. Harvey and Dylan Horrocks. Much of the terminology in English is under dispute, so this page will list and describe the most common terms used in comics. Comics "Comics" is used as a non-count noun, and thus is used with the singular form of a verb, in the way the words "politics" or "economics" are, to refer to the medium, so that one refers to the "comics industry" rather than the "comic industry". "Comic" as an adjective also has the meaning of "funny", or as pertaining to comedians, which can cause confusion and is usually avoided in most cases ("comic strip" being a well-entrenched exception). "Comic" as a singular noun is sometimes used to refer to individual comics periodicals, what are known in North America as "comic books". "Underground comix" is a term first popularized by cartoonists in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
