I’m excited by the idea of a Spawn movie reboot, and I’m happy to see that it landed at Blumhouse to produce. What has me scratching my head is the direction and focus of the movie.
The Spawn movie, instead of focusing on, you know, the title character SPAWN, is instead going to be focused on Twitch, ONE of thetwo police detectives who work the area that just happens to be Spawn’s stomping ground.
So instead of doing a movie about a mercenary betrayed and killed by his partner, who makes a deal with the DEVIL to come back to life, Todd McFarland & Co. decide to tell Twitch’s story. Just Twitch. Not his partner Sam, just Twitch.
I'm a guy who's grown up watching the technology explosion and expansion his whole life. I was there when the home gaming console was invented, I had Intellivision & Colecovision, and an Atari 2600. I was there when personal computers became a thing with my Commodore 64, and we used audio cassettes as hard drives and dot matrix printers ruled.
I was there for the birth of cable television, and televisions going from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratios. I saw cameras and photography go from analog to digital, just like I watched music, movies, and everything else go digital. I lived in a world without Google and Amazon. I've watched mobile phones go from brief-case sized and mounted into cars. I've seen monochromatic screens change to color, and from non capacitive to full on touch screens. I've watched the rise of social media as well.
I've seen at lot of stuff over my lifetime, so I have some insight into where tech has been that helps me better understand where tech is going. Check it out.
