That was a long afternoon. Headed into town around 3ish to do some shopping. Went to Forbidden Planet for the first time in a while, picked up a few comics, notables Bulletproof Monk<\/i> by Michael Avon Oeming and Badlands<\/i> by Steven Grant. Hit Comic showcase and the notables there were A Contract with God<\/i> which is actually going to be my first introduction to Will Eisner so I’m looking forward to that. I also broke down and picked up the Powers Scriptbook<\/i> by Brian Michael Bendis and art by the aforementioned Michael Avon Oeming. The rest is pretty much pure candy and popcorn reading, a JLA collection, the first Nightwing trade, some X-Men and Batman: Haunted Knight<\/i> by the usually top team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.<\/p>\n
Hit Virgin Megastores music sale aswell for a very eclectic selection, older albums from David Gray, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi (x2), Tina Arena, Tori Amos, Bob Dylan and the recent Jimi Hendrix special Voodoo Child<\/i>. That lot should keep me going for a while and was a total of 8 albums for fifty odd quid.<\/p>\n
Met up with Pat in Starbucks and we went to see about a movie. There was nothing in the main cinemas we wanted to see so we checked the PCC on chance. They are running a bank holiday weekend special of horror\/thriller movies and one later that night sounded interesting. So we went to see One Hour Photo<\/a>. Staring Robin Williams as a photo technician at a Wal Mart type shop who becomes a little too involved with the family of one of the customers of his shop. Its a pretty tense thriller with a real standout performance from Robin Willaims. It’s worth remembering he has been nominated at the Oscars on four occasions and won on one of those. All in all a pretty solid movie with a decent ending.<\/p>\n As part of this festival, they are showing Dark Water<\/a>, a movie from the director and the author of Ring<\/a> a smash hit from Japan a couple of years ago. I’ve still not seen this but I have heard many good things about it and am indeed heading over to Play to order it now. So that is the plan for tomorrow night with a couple of the lads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That was a long afternoon. Headed into town around 3ish to do some shopping.
