So I forgot to do this yesterday. Probably because it mostly feels like an exercise in futility. Yup, yet another crappy Amazon week I’m afraid. I’m not even going to include a recommendation this week. Instead I want to mention the new comic strip competition again.

As mentioned last week, the np.comic is coming back – I wrote the script today. For every $5 donation, your name goes into the hat once, and every month we’ll do a draw. The winner will get to guide the second comic that we do every month. You can simply suggest an idea, insert yourself or loved ones into it, or even write the whole damn thing and upstage me.

Currently we’ve only got one name in that hat (twice – thanks Bryan!). So right now, a mere $10 donation would result in a 50% shot of doing your own np.comic. And a 100% shot at winning my heart.

Brothers update

Nothing major, but hopefully this is the step that will allow the film to finally move full speed ahead towards a release date later in the year. From Variety.

Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media has reached a multiyear output deal with Lionsgate covering up to five movies a year.

The deal, announced Monday, has been rumored for several weeks in the wake of Lionsgate’s decision to trim its inhouse production slate (Daily Variety, April 14).

The first title to be released under the pact will be “Brothers,” directed by Jim Sheridan and starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman in a drama about two brothers in love with the same woman. Lionsgate is expected to release “Brothers,” based on the 2004 film by Danish writer-director Susanne Bier, later this year.
