Fanboys Poster
Yesterday was the DVD release of the much anticipated Fanboys – at least much anticipated by this fangirl – so it’s only natural for me to tell you all about it.
I heard about this movie almost two years ago and unfortunately due to circumstances with production had to wait a very long time to finally see it. I’m just glad I managed to see this film during its brief run in theatres last month, especially since I only happened to know about its release by pure luck. The greatest pitfall was the lack of advertisement – even the movie posters never specified a release date. Sad really.
After more than a year of waiting patiently it’s all paid off in the end – this movie is the shit!
The audience follows the adventure of a group of 4 hardcore fanboys (Eric, Lucas, Hutch & Windows), and 1 fangirl (Zoe), as they trek across country in attempt to break into Lucas Ranch to Keep Reading »

Pygmy - Chuck Palahniuk
Last Thursday Chuck Palahniuk visited Burnaby, BC during his Pygmy tour and I was front row not quite centre for the whole thing! Thanks to Kim for getting up silly early the previous Saturday and standing in line to get the wristbands needed to go to this wondrous event and to Chuck himself for being awesome to his fans!
The event began with a signing of his new release Pygmy. My copy says “To Total Best Comrade Bree” while Kim’s is so much cooler and says “To Most Beautiful Devil Agent Kim”. If you’re curious, the language of the messages mirrors the language used in the book – more on that in a bit. It was while watching Mr. Palahniuk sign approx. 400 books that I realized being awesome requires fantastic wrist muscles.

Since I left off in December let me catch my one reader up to what geek things I’ve been up to.
Fables vol. 10
Between January and March I managed to find a copy of every Fables trade that has been released and read them all. This is probably the best series I have ever read and if you aren’t already reading it go out and buy the first two volumes RIGHT NOW! Why the first two? Well, the first one just isn’t enough to get you fully hooked so you’ll want to read the second one right away to really feel the effect of the story. Once you’ve done that, go out and buy the rest because I can guarantee you’ll be drooling for more.
Also during my run with Fables I picked up another Bill Willingham title – House of Mystery vol. 1. From what I read in the first volume I’m looking forward to the second, but I still have a while to wait on that one. The saddest part about my coming to love Bill Willingham’s work this year was he was Emerald City Comic Con LAST year and I missed my chance to meet him. Hopefully he’ll make a return visit to the con in the coming years.

Batman R.I.P
It’s been a long time since I’ve last written and I’m going to attempt to be better at this blogging thing. I’m unfortunately the type of person to get really excited about a project, work on it for a while and then push it aside for the next “big idea”. I won’t let this become one of them.
So, I’m going to spend today catching up on some posts long overdue, and the first is a review of Batman R.I.P. written by the amazing Grant Morrison and art by Tony Daniel. Now, I say Grant Morrison is amazing because he has written two of my favourite books – All Star Superman and Batman: Arkham Asylum – and since I’m a girl the fact he’s a snappy dresser and has a wicked accent also helps me give him this label.
