Movie Discussion – “2046”

With only four theaters running this film, I don’t
know how much discussion we’re going to get. However,
since I love the director (Kar Wai Wong), but my local
theaters aren’t among the illustrious four, I thought
I’d point the movie out and try to get some feedback
from anyone I can.

Weekly Comics Discussion – August 3, 2005

This
week’s shipping list includes a few items of note,
such as Serenity (which will get its own
review, but I’ll be out of town for the weekend, so it
won’t be right away), and New Avengers
(which continues the Sentry arc.) Also
shipping today are the first issue of the
1602 sequel (which Gaiman is not involved in;
I’m waiting for reviews before I decide if I’ll get
the TPB), some House of M tie-in material,
Ultimate Spider-Man #81, Marvel
Visionaries: John Romita Sr., and New
Avengers Vol. 1: Breakout (which I also need to
review; shaky start to the arc, but it pulls itself
together as a means to launch the series). DC is
offering The Return of Donna Troy #3 (of 4),
DC’s Greatest Imaginary Stories TPB,
Justice (of 12), and Sandman Presents
Thessaly: Witch for Hire in TPB form.
