About time!

Well, yeah, I know, i'm slow at this update thing XD

What happened this past few days? Well, I finally saw Pirates of the Carribean 3. I liked it. 

No actual spoilers in the following text.

The character of Elisabeth, up to now annoying to me, we actually quite appealing! Though I think they pushed the growth of her character to much. I'm still a fan of Norrington (wah, poor norrie!) and I think the ending, though sad, was pretty good for a trilogie end. I hope they won't make a number four. I didn't like how the scenario seemed like it was going into one plot and then switched halfway. It made the movie confusing. A lot of those plots would have made good movies on their own. 

Davy Jone's love life makes me cry, poor bastard. The intro scene was awesome. If you still haven't seen it, make sure you don't come in late. It was a grat scene. It sent chills down my spine. Very powerful scene. 

Also: Now we know why Jack speaks funny don't we?

And finally: for those who have seen it...doesn't the crab-boat scene remind you of the work creatures?

End of movie squealing.

During the weekend, Link's family came down. It was fn to see all his brothers, his parents and his sister. Lot's of photos were taken. There was also a pool involved. We spent a day at Link's aunt's place, who lives here in Toronto. She had a pool. It was fun to splash around ^_^
The pool was actually full of salty water, which is apparently an alternative for chlorine. I like that idea. Pollutes less and stings less. Tastes just as funny.

How's work? My internship just moved into overdrive as it is coming to an end. The event is soon (two weeks) and therefore we are working like nutcases. But it's all good...

And yes, I am getting to a comic at some point! *laughs*

Finally, the follow up of the Oz miniseries! Woo!

I was actually wondering, do you guys like it when I update with a pack of drawings? Doing it like this makes it so that I take long brakes between my updates since I don't always have time to draw or idea to draw. Would you prefer if I showed these pages one by one or do you prefer the bunch updates? Anyways, tell me what you think...







For those who have missed them: The precedent Oz comics...

I'd probably like your comics more if I had actually seen Wicked, but since it's just a fanfic of Wizard of Oz, I'll probably be fine!

Actually, there is a few references to wicked, but It's just the same if you've only seen the old musical movie. It's mainly based on the wizard of Oz movie, since in Wicked (and also in the original books) Glinda is actually the witch of the South. Funny fact not many people know...THe north witch is good, but actually nameless. THe combined her character and Glinda's in the old moovie to same movie on actors and cut the scenario shorter. So that part at the end where she meets Glinda again and Glinda tells her to clap her shoes three times...All viewers wonder...Why the heck didn't she mention that BEFORE? Well, it's mainly because there's originally two witches.

I think it's also funny that the movie cast in both Oz and Dorothy's real world are the same, creating some kind of warped reality. In the movie, Oz is a dream, and it contains freudian elements (such as the tranposition of known faces to unknown personas)where as in the original books by Baulm, Oz is not a dream, and Dorothy returns (kinda like Alice, who returns and becomes queen.)

...

Okay, that was my boring and geeky Oz talk. I'm just an enormous fan of fairy tales and stories like Peter Pan, Alice and Oz.
