New book and New movie

Yesterday, I planned to spend my day at Zoe comic corner, re-read some stories or magazine. I did go to Zoe comic corner, but ended up just read a magazine and 2 shonen star, not even re-read a series of japanese comic.

Felt that I don't have any interest in anything with picture at that time, I left Zoe and headed to Books vintage bookstore at Dago Plaza with a search of new novel or anything interesting. I found book one of the Black Magician trilogy: The Magician's Guild for only 25 thousand rupiahs, hehehe... I bought the book, left the store and smile in the way home.

Watchmen are coming...

The new issue of Movie Monthly is a new superhero movie called Watchmen. I never heard about watchmen before, so I read the article without high expectation. After finished read it, I really can't wait for the movie to hit the theater. There are 3 points that pull my interest to the movie:

1. It's not a superman-type of superhero movie, with almost perfect man/woman trying to save the world by him/herself as the main character. Watchmen actually a romance, romance about superhero, hahaha... another serious superhero movie... I really want to hug Christopher Nolan that started this trend :D :D :D
2. Watchmen movie is based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore. Alan Moore who??? Hehehe... I actually never heard the name before, but if you know about V for Vendetta, From Hell and The Leage of Extraordinary Gentleman, then you should know Alan Moore, he is the man who created those stories. I love all those movies... that's why I have my expectation growing rapidly in my mind... the story must be awesome, so the next problem is... the director???
3. And the director is.... Zack Snyder, and I like him. The thing about Snyder, if he does a comic adapted movie, he try his best to keep the story and the visual to be the same as in the comic, like the one he did with 300. I don't really like Frank Miller's work, I hate Sin City and never had an intention to watch The Spirit, but I like 300 and all thanks to this young director.

So, for me it's all about the track record... I like Alan Moore previous stories that's why I think I will like Watchmen, so does with Zack Snyder, I like his previous works, so I think I will like Watchmen too, hehehe... we'll see...
