THIS IS THE ONE YOU'RE WAITING FOR

12 REASONS REVIEWS:
Don MacPherson has started a new site, following the closure of the Fourth Rail. Eye on Comics is his new platform to review comics and pursue other stories about the art form. He dropped a nice 9/10 review of our comic, and if you click on this excerpt, you can read the whole thing:

"Ultimately, this book isn’t about what it takes to make a relationship work and whether or not it’s meant to be. I think the greater message is that whether it’s Forever or For a While, the collection of the experiences alone is the reward. The prize isn’t the storybook ending but the story itself. "

For those of you who ordered the book off of Amazon, I'm told they have been sent their stock and it's expected to be fully processed by Monday.

THEATRICAL REVIEWS:
* Flags of Our Fathers, the new WWII epic from Clint Eastwood
* The Prestige, Christopher Nolan's awesome magician mystery
* Running With Scissors, Ryan Murphy's adaptation of the famous memoir



DVD REVIEWS:
* American Dreamz, a disappointingly limp satire from the director of About a Boy
* The Fox & the Hound: 25th-Anniversary Edition , a new release of one of my favorite Disney films
* Reds: 25th-Anniversary Edition, at long last Warren Beatty's masterpiece comes to DVD
* Scrubs: The Complete Fourth Season, the hospital sitcom at its very best

CURRENTLY READING: Now and On Earth by Jim Thompson. Makes Bukowski look like Peter Pan. (This was a Christmas 2004 present from Christine Norrie; yes, I'm that slow.)

R.I.P. Gillo Pontecorvo, 1919-2006

Current Soundtrack: Robbie Williams, Rudebox

Current Mood: pause
