Interview With Furman

Don't know why someone has mentioned this already, but here it is.

Pretty good read. Of course, he doesn't dish nearly the amount of dirt about what went on at DW as you'd like, nor does he tell you much about what he's doing now TF wise.

Knowing Twin Twist and knowing the courts, there's a good chance that Twist wasn't really free to ask too much about the DW days as far as the buisness side, as he just brushes over it.

Or I could be completly wrong. Who knows.

You've really got ot wonder. I think Besty or Impactor should camp out side of Furman's house until they find out.

Least favorite? Although I never wrote too much about him it was Wheelie from the movie. I think I wrote him in one UK story and that was it.

Twin Twist: Then you killed him off in a BotCon comic and a lot of people were happy.

Simon Furman: Yeah!

Heh, good to know he feels the same way...

Twin Twist: OK, last question. And this is kind of a quick-fire question I thought I’d save for the end… Who’d win the fight - Pat Lee or Stan Lee?

Simon Furman: Ha-ha I’d put my money on Stan Lee myself.

lol

That is a good, honest interview.

I found the bit about Dreamwave's obsession with continuity interesting. Furman was more concious of it than he was with marvel. I wonder if this had a negative effect on the quality of his writing?

I would love to see him involved in a future TF project...

Dreamwave had continuity?

Too bad that we'll never find out how story would have progressed thoug

Ah, who am I kidding, yay for the death of Mad Brick's abomination he called a comic.

Picture yourself ten or so years ago, crying as G2 was cancelled. Suddenly a portal opens and an old fat bitter man appears. He waves his arms and says, "I'm your self from the FUUUUuUTURE! I am here to tell you a li8ttle irony: on the day that Transformers is cancelled for a third time, you will actually be HAPPPPPY!"

Your future self then slaps your past self on the butt and disappears, leaving your past self feeling very weird.

Oh ya. The interview. It was good.

The thought of my future self patting my past self on the butt leaves my present self feeling very weird. By far one of the most bizarre images I've had to conjure up while posting on here...

Now close your eyes and picture a colony of rastafarian Smurfs.

I have seriously wanted to do that so many times since I became an old fat bitter man. It especially would have helped with bad breakups.

maybe you should tell your past self to go to the gym more as well...

what? pat yourself on the butt?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 1:51 pm

Right now my past self is very pissed off.

After all, what kind of future self shows up just when your favourite comic has been cancelled, laughs about how disillusioned he has become with Transformers in the intervening years, then gives you a quick fondle and disappears?

Right now my past self is looking at the empty space where my future self just vanished from screaming "WHAT ABOUT THE ******* LOTTERY NUMBERS YOU BASTARD?!?!!? THAT WAS THE DEAL!!!!" and rocking backwards and forwards.

And my present self is even more screwed up than ever

so would i be if a 38 year old me had just appeared, molested me and vanished whilst laughing hysterically about a toy based comic series...

*shudder*
