QC - The Movie
benji:
I would agree. The idea that, if you're going to make a movie, you need to include all of the major plot points form the beginning of the comic to the present day is going to leave you with a long, incoherent movie. Most frustrating of all, since the comic is ongoing, and Jeph doesn't really break the story at any point, the film would likely just end at some point without any real resolution.
I also think it's worth noting that QC as a specific thing focuses on little moments of daily life. It's not really about a bunch of big stuff happening all at once. Cramming everything into one movie would make for much more of an "everything happens all at once" feel.

Wouldn't it depend on how it was done? The great thing about Jephs comic is the fact that there is a plot through out the entire thing but there is a solid plot behind even the smallest of moments. He is able to illustrate life in it's most subtle ways.
I think if you're a pretty damn good film maker you could make that happen. Like I think in one of the clips above I saw Hanners or someone in a coat in the background at the coffee shop. If it is Hanners, the director clearly wanted to illustrate that she had indeed been stalking Marten. Very much like the bits of everyones stories in the comics they are all interconnected.

I dunno ... I think that's an interesting bit of filmmaking, if that's what the filmmaker intended. And if it's just someone in a parka, well, it's just someone in a parka. And absent any resolution of the question in the finished film ... it's the sort of question that occupies classroom and other academic discussions of published works all the time.
Is it cold in here?:
I liked most of the casting in the trailer for the Pyromaniac Studios QC movie, but I thought their Hanners seemed too normal.
