You know, I’m just gonna shift it over to mostly non-political this week.

There’s almost nothing in the way of political news going on right now anyway. Gotta love August, huh? – Well, no: not if your gig involves covering stuff that happens in Dizzy City, and the entire town’s gone for the month. Great for the country; not so great for hitcount on this blog.

So… hey, Hollywood’s gonna do Dante’s Inferno! Sort of.

According to the outlet this new version of Dante’s Inferno will see Dante travel “through the nine circles of hell to save the woman he loves.”

Prediction: you’re gonna see a lot of Lust, Wrath, and maybe Gluttony in that flick.  Sloth, not so much. Note, by the way, that this is the Warner Bros Dante’s Inferno: Universal Pictures will be doing the version that’s a fairly straightforward film adaptation of the Dante’s Inferno video game, which means… you’re gonna see a lot of Wrath, Lust, and maybe Gluttony in that flick.  Not that I’m judging. I don’t think that I’d dare.

One thought on “You know, I’m just gonna shift it over to mostly non-political this week.”

  1. Having played the Dante’s Inferno video game and having watched the animated movie made from it, I expect Universal’s version will do better with the audiences. Dante’s wasn’t a great video game, but given the choice between watching an Italian poet journey through Hell or watching a fallen Crusader slashing and chopping his way through it, the violence will win.
