Rewind Quotes
If ^^***** had the stones they'd say "Screw continuity! As of January 2007, we're hitting ‘rewind' and resetting all the books to where they were in 1972-just set in modern time.” No "cosmic events,” no 100 issue crossovers. Just an editorial fiat, like Man of Steel. Only way to get things done. (2006)

I'd go back to 1975. I commented elsewhere, recently, that pressing the "rewind” button would be a good idea, as long as it was done across the board, and not piecemeal or in stealth mode, a la "Birthright.” Take all the characters back to their status quo circa 1975, but set the stories now. Since the most anal-retentive fanboys need "explanations” for everything, have the Shaper of Worlds do it at M*****. Not sure who'd be up for the job at DC. (2004)

You want to arrest the clocks, stop everything for half a second, give yourself a chance to do it over again, rewind the life, uncrash the car, run it backward, have her lift miraculously back into the windshield, unshatter the glass, go about your day untouched, some old, lost sweet-tasting time.
But there it was again, the girl's spreading bloodstain.

I play the guitar. This year at the Sundance film festival, I joined the band from 'The Guitar' on stage. We warmed up for Patti Smith, and then the director Michel Gondry got on the drums to play some songs from the soundtrack to his film Be Kind Rewind with Mos Def. It was pretty mad.
