http://www.cugley.co.uk/2007/03/go-see.html "Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff - writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't.

The first comic-based movie I've seen which was not only <em>totally</em> unashamed of its origin, but got closer than I've witnessed to a real comic on screen rather than trying to make a 'proper film'.

As accidental preparation I stumbled across a web site which compared stills from the movie with panels from the comic. Obviously made by fanatics.
