Pan’s Labyrinth
Published by Fehed 1 year, 10 months ago
I went to the Best New Manga shindig yesterday and did a little talk about our comic. Lots of kids asked me to sign their books for them. It was kinda cool. After the show, we (that is to say me and a few of the Sweatdrop peeps) hit the British History Museum (where I must take Shari one day, I must!!) which was right next door to where we were anyway. I hadn’t been to that place since I was a kid. It’s changed so much and it’s all that much more mind-blowing now. I adored it. Though our time spent there was brief, but I shall return.
Starbucks beckoned and we hung out there for a while discussing random things. After that Rik, Wing & I split from the group and went to grab some Sushi and Japanese Curry in Central London. It’s like.. tradition. We always grab a bite to eat when we meet up at a Japanese restaurant. This was all a mere introduction however, to our main outing. We were heading off to watch Pan’s Labyrinth.
I have mixed feelings about this movie. The trailers, posters and general advertising built this up to be an amazing fantasy tale mixed in with the drama’s of the real world. However, as it turned out, I’d say the movie was 20% fantasy, 80% war story. Now, don’t get me wrong, it was a good movie, I did enjoy it, but that didn’t however stop me from being disappointed by it. I was in the mood for this amazing gothic fantasy tale, and that’s not what I got. Shari and I felt like they had wasted an amazing premise to what could’ve truly been the fantasy tale of the decade.
It was beautiful, it was good, but it wasn’t what they advertised it to be. I’m not quite sure how to take that. Anyway, I guess now I can get back to planning our new comic project. We’re working on a fantasy epic pitch of our own. It’s based on an idea I had 5 months ago that somehow got mixed up in a weird dream I had.
What? You thought we’d finish one book and then quit? Pffft!! Never XD

museum… hmm. i may go to the national museum in sydney. (it has a sperm whale hanging from the roof ^_^
The funny thing is i have never heard of pan’s labyrinth… i don’t even think that it has been previewed in Australia.. (i doubt it’ll come out here anyways)
As i finished reading this post i went to Wikipedia.org for no good reason. just looking stuff up out of boredom. and i decided to lookyou up (fehed) i found out that neither you or shari have your own personal profiles on wikipedia. but there is a sweatdrop studios profile.. i checked it out and they had a list of the artists there. you were in that list of course. but i was thinking… a relative of mine said a while ago.. ” to have your name in wikpedia you’d have to do something special.”
no reason for mentioning that. just thought you’d like to know that you have done something special (being in wikipedia and all) ^_^
P.s Keep up the good work.
~riku~
Also, as a rule, people can’t add themselves into Wikipedia. It has to be done by someone else and has to be backed up extensively with links to where the info came from.
We had a hitch with that Sweatdrop listing a little while ago actually. They wanted to remove us from Wikipedia because we’re “not really an established group” or something and also they thought we’d added ourselves.
We weren’t too fussed as it had nothing to do with us and we couldn’t do anything about it, but some of the fans kicked up a fuss lol someone seems to have done one hell of a job in rectifying the original version though ^^ so it’s nice to see it up there.
I would like to see Shari listed there at some point. Who knows what the future may bring ^_^
I’ve not seen it yet but, based on your description and the website, which really pushes the fantasy elements of the movie, I’m already disappointed.
lol. i also looked up shari. ( i sadly found nothing) and what i ment by the whole wikipedia thing is that someone thinks your special. ^^
