IN OTHER NEWS…
Just finished Jonathan Hickman’s Nightly News series published by image last night. I really enjoyed this. Much more so than I thought I would. I was skeptical about it because of it being SO design heavy. Pretty ironic that I felt that way considering how much design stuff I use myself. However, the series is very well written. The character’s are written well enough that you quickly get past the wall of design images. I’d say that the only complaint I would have is that because of the heavy design treatment I felt a bit detached from caring about any of the characters at all. This is the only real problem with the presentation besides not being able to tell where things are taking place sometimes for storytelling sake. That is not to say that the detached feeling isn’t what he was going for, considering the subject matter. But the intelligence and provocativeness of the story and daringness of Hickman’s art more than make up for any perceived flaws. I highly recommend this book. It’s a really bold statement of experimentation and thought provoking subject that everyone should check out. I’m eagerly awaiting his next project.
IT HURTS ONLY WHEN I…
Doing some physical work around the house the other day I had a bit of an accident. During which, I heard a little pop accompanied by a sharp “stuck with a knife” like pain in my left rib cage chest area. I think I may have cracked a rib. Right now it is very uncomfortable and somewhat painful to move around. Particularly trying to sleep. I just love sharing my woes.
THY NAME IS COEN…
The Coen brothers have a new film, FINALLY. It’s called No Country For Old Men and will be released soon. I cannot wait for this!! These guys are brilliant. I’ve become enamored with pretty much everything they’ve done and it has been awhile since they’ve had a film out. So I’m thrilled. They’ve got a few projects on the burner so we will be getting a good fix from them for a bit.

Hope you feel better Jim.
Do you know is No Country For Old Men an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel?
If so that’ll be interesting.
Yes… I too am looking forward to “No Country..”
I saw the Coen Bros. along with Josh and Javier on Charlie Rose last week.
I was a little disappointed that it’s not an original work of theirs, but so far the clips look amazing.
Glad to hear they’ve got more stuff coming.
Good luck with the rib. -ouch.
