salineaThis last week end I got myself the two last tomes of Tokyo Babylon, the third TPB of Y, the Last Man, and the third tome of Jaqueline Carey's serie, Kushiel's Avatar, that I had been waiting for in paper back since this summer. ^_^
Y is a very good comic, very cleverly written, and poking fun at many stereotypes and prejudices, not only those about genders. (It's, as the name indicates, a story where every men, and male mamals, on earth suddenly and mysteriously died - except our hero Yoric and his pet monkey). Now I just need to "trade" it to Mike in exchange for borrowing all his Fables, Ultimates and Runaway. Why did they have to get me hooked with comics as well as everything else ? Like I'm not broke already just buying SF and RPG books ?! :'(
Then we went with friends to the Tim Burton night at the Champo. Got to see Big Fish, which was very good about the nature of truth, thought the ending is slightly week, Ed Wood and Beetlejuice. After rewatching those twos, I think Ed Wood is definitly the stronger of the three movies. It's an amazingly good movie, very sad in a bittersweet way. And you can't beat Johnny Depp in angora pull ^_^
You are the Strange Creature that fell from the
sky. You are not understood and are careful in
any kind of realtionship. You have peculer ways
and thoughts. You are quiet but present. I like
weird people, rate my quiz.
What kind of element fey are you? (PRETTY PICS)

Date: 25 March 2004 05:03 am (UTC)Yeah, well, I don't read much mainstream litterature (maybe I should, but i have only time for so much), as for movies, I'm sure we can find one we both watched to talk about !
And I do advice reading GRRMartin to everyone I know. It's an amazingly great book. The only people who didn't like it did so because of the cruaulty of the plot and the setting - you have not to get upset to see so many characters dying or being mistreated.
