Initially I spent a fair amount of time in Adaptation Announcement Reaction Stage 1, i.e., pure, unbridled, gleeful hype.

By now I've moved onto Stage 2, the stage where I'm still optimistic, but all sorts of uncertainty flags have been raised. Remember the 80's cartoon? Remember the Super Mario Bros. movie?

In a week or two, I'll be at Stage 3, where I think it's an absolutely terrible idea and am convinced that they will screw it up. I will probably hover between there and Stage 2 until I see a preview, which will set my expectations more solidly to one of the three stages.
