James is a real class act. I first met him in 2006 at a Dallas convention, and went back several times until 2014. The main reason I stopped was because the shows just kept increasing in price, and I couldn't justify the expense. But I really miss talking to James, and hopefully I'll be able to go back someday. I still have the two custom sketches he did for me, in my autograph book.
I found this after looking for any info I could find about the involvement of James O'Barr with the new Crow reboot. Happy to hear he got paid but otherwise had nothing to do with this new abomination. You can tell from the trailer, The soul has been ripped out. "Quick impression for ya, Kaa Kaa, Bang! Fuck I'm dead!" I think that adequately sums up what will happen with the release of this new movie. God help us all. Buy original media, buy the book,buy The Crow 1994. Show them what we want with our wallets.
@@moves666I'm happy he wasn't involved but I'm also pissed he did nothing to stop it from happening. Even Brandon's family was openly against rebooting the crow...
I was viscerally offended by the trailer for the new The Crow movie. All the profundity removed, the grim-dark-punk aesthetic gone, just a list of checkboxes handed down by corporate suits.
@@MarksTravelAdventures There's nothing he CAN do. James doesn't own the film and TV rights to The Crow. It's completely out of his hands. If a studio has the film rights and they want to make a Crow movie, they can and will do it. Tough titties if other people don't want it to happen. They're not the ones in control of the property.
