Bloggers do Bangsar

Yup, you read it right, folks. Hani (esteemed queen bee of bloggerdom) has decreed that anyone who wants to join us should be at Bangsar Coffee Bean by 10.30 Friday (11 July). From there, we trust in God.

Do mail me or refer to Kotaraya for details.

On an unrelated note, fans of comic-based movies (or just comics) should appreciate this article written by Peter Sanderson for IGN. A comic book historian, Peter discusses the recent adaptations of comics to movies, and why even after all the box office successes, critics still expect these movies to be nothing more than dumb fun. A well researched and informative read, and it clearly shows Peter's love for the material, as well as his disappoinment with Hollywood in labeling comics (and the movies based on them) as nothing more than fluff fit for geeks.

Also on IGN is an early review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. A movie I have high hopes for, and will continue to do so even after they have butchered the storyline. The comics were awesome, and though the script has been greatly revamped, first impressions show that the producers have not mucked it up THAT bad, yet. I have the first trade paperback, if anyone's interested in reading about the (fictional) adventures of Allan Quartermain, Mina Harker, Jekyll and Hyde, Captain Nemo and of course, the Invisible Man. Highly recommended.

Enough already. Go read. After this, am playing RoboCop on PS2. Don't ask me why. The notion of shooting, exploding...just appeals to me right now. Hmm.

Lock and load, people. Get ready for KotaRaya Tembak.
