A very close one but David has slain Goliath. Perhaps it was a case of a lot of people voting AGAINST the Oscar look, because it seemed like such a…

You know how we have old new pics. Pics that were taken a long time ago but haven’t been seen until now? Well the new NP.COMic is along those lines. I had an idea last year, which was sparked by this election PSA. Of course we didn’t have the NP.COMic at that time but the idea has kept bugging me.

So, to get it out of my system, enjoy the new (but old) NP.COMic.

For reasons that will become obvious after viewing the strip, I am currently unable to get it into the comics gallery. Will have to come up with a plan.

As for the draw for the fan strip… (more…)

Nice to see some more opinions on Natalie’s writing and directing debut. A couple days ago we had one positive and one negative review from its screening at the short film festival in Toronto. Today we have 3 more.

Toronto Screen Shorts was quite enthusiastic:

I thought Bacall brought a real sense of gravitas to the proceedings, even as her character rather shallowly pursues Gazzara for his money. Thirlby was also strong as a serious young woman looking for some answers. Portman was wise to keep the story small and tightly-focussed, and her direction is anything but showy. Sufjan Stevens’ piano score added another layer of class. (8/10)

Movie Moxie was a bit mixed:

Exploring the faces we hide behind and from, tempered by nostalgia and loss we find ourselves riding alongside a third wheel in a day between grandmother and granddaughter. I enjoyed the blending and awareness the two had of each others lifestyles and habits, however the repeated attempts and deflection from a real connection kept the tone unfulfilled.
