Me, again

If you haven't gotten over James Cameron's titanic success Avatar yet, here's another Avatar I'd like to watch in IMAX 3D or maybe just 2D. Avatar, The Last Airbender (aka the Legend of Aang) from Nickelodeon . Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar was the master of all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Fire Nation from conquering the world. Suddenly, the world has gotten a lot more Spiritual.

Indepth Arts News: "Thrice Upon A Time : A Century of Story in the Art of the Philippines" 2009-11-14 until 2010-03-14 Singapore Art Museum Singapore, SG Singapore From November 13, 2009 until March 14, 2010 at the Singapore Art Museum, Thrice Upon A Time invites viewers on a journey filled with the stories and art of the Philippines, an adventure spanning over a hundred years. The Philippines has a rich tradition of storytelling, with stories from her pre-colonial past to present-day tales, and this exhibition presents the epic story of the country and her people through visual art. The role of the artist-as-storyteller is highlighted within this exhibition and ideas about representation, authenticity, identity and history of the nation and its people are explored. Playing with the classic line that begins those familiar stories, "Once upon a time", the show suggests that the best stories are told over and over again. The exhibition presents works fro

Friday, August 13, 2004 I don’t know what to say. Julia Child was ninety-one years old when she died, late yesterday, in her sleep. It’s the death that all of us want, after a life so full it would seem she was one of history’s true lucky souls, if only luck had had anything to do with it. She enriched the lives of thousands – my life she quite literally turned around. She died well-loved, and I hope she died well-fed. There is no tragedy here. It’s a day for remembrance, and celebration. So why am I so fucking sad? I heard this morning. I was working on my book – I’m always working on my book, only “freaking out over” would probably be a better term – when the emails started pouring in. Condolences from my relatives, and my friends, and my blog-friends, comforting me as if I was suffering the loss of a family member. I never met Julia Child. I have no particular reason to think she’d even have liked me if I had. I have no claim over the woman at all, unless it’s the c

Just because you've seen one (funny pic), there's no need to laugh...thinking that there isn't any more. More funnyjunk .

But the Na'vi, a species of extraterrestrial eco-friendly hunters in the smash hit movie Avatar, have already made cinema history by raking in $1bn (£620m) at cinema box offices in just three weekends.

Tweet this Good Editing. Nice picture resolution for all. Now I'm wondering how come I didn't see them this good? Of course I only saw 6% of the featured films...but still.

First of all, let me say this: Me? I'm just a big fan of Comics and Comic (book) Art. A look back: In August 31, 2009, it was announced that Disney wants to acquire Marvel Comic s for a whopping $4B. This is how one (or two) artists celebrates the Epic Acquisition. It's implication: Can you imagine what Toy Story 4 would look like? There would be a bunch of X-Men thrown into the plot or backyard, as it were...and the plot would definitely thicken. Today, January 1, 2010: The Straits Times announces Disney acquires Marvel for $4.3B. There's nothing to add beyond this line. Just another breaking news.
