<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.cinemacomrapadura.com.br/noticias/img/12947-2008-08-26-19:45:59_1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="291" /></div>
<div>Uma pequena confusão em uma declaração da <em>Hergé Studios</em> colocou em dúvida sobre quem da dupla <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> e Peter Jackson iria dirigir o primeiro filme da trilogia "<strong>Tintin</strong>", que entrará em produção ainda este ano. No entanto, o site <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em> confirmou que o longa do jovem repórter será o próximo filme de Spielberg, seguindo o recente sucesso de <em>"Indiana Jones e o Reino da Caveira de Cristal"</em>.</p>
<p>Enquanto Spielberg comanda o primeiro filme da série, Jackson atuará como produtor da fita, enquanto concede os retoques finais em seu novo filme, <em>"The Lovely Bones"</em>, e parte para escrever o roteiro das duas fitas baseadas em <em>"O Hobbit"</em>, pré-continuação do maior sucesso do cineasta, a adaptação da saga literária de J.R.R Tolkien <em>"O Senhor dos Anéis"</em>. Assim que terminar tais trabalhos, ele já começará a trabalhar na direção da seqüência de "Tintin".</p>
<p>O personagem é protagonista de dezenas de aventuras desenhadas e roteirizadas pelo quadrinista belga Hergé. Suas histórias contam com coadjuvantes extremamente carismáticos, como seu companheiro canino Milu, o beberrão e ousado Capitão Haddock, os atrapalhados detetives Dupont e Dupond e o avoado (e quase surdo) Professor Girassol.</p>
<p>A trilogia será uma mistura entre animação 3D e filmagens com atores reais, em um processo similar ao recente <em>"A Lenda de Beowulf"</em>, buscando alcançar um resultado próximo ao visual dos quadrinhos. Por enquanto, apenas dois atores foram confirmados no elenco. O jovem de 18 anos Thomas Sangster (<em>"Simplesmente Amor"</em>) será o protagonista-título, enquanto Andy Serkis (o Gollum da trilogia <em>"O Senhor dos Anéis"</em>) viverá o Capitão Haddock.</p>
<p>Esta primeira fita tem roteiro de Stephen Moffat (da cultuada série <em>"Doctor Who"</em>) e o texto é baseado em dois álbuns do personagem, <em>"O Tesouro de Rackham, o Terrível"</em> e <em>"O Segredo do Licorne"</em>, ambos originalmente lançados no início dos anos 1940. O longa deverá chegar aos cinemas no final de 2009.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e2/Tintin_and_Snowy.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-65" src="http://nickfranklin.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/tintin_and_snowy.png" alt="" width="142" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Recognition in the U.S., that is.</p>
<p>One idea I have as a dream job is as a Tintin scholar, and this would be the perfect time, he's everywhere...</p>
<p>"Tintin in Tibet" was given to me by my father when I was about 11 years old, and  I've been a fan of Hergé (<em>née</em> Georges Remi) ever since.  Tintin's adventures always involve international intrigue, solving obscure riddles, and outsmarting very cunning villains.  According to Tom McCarthy in <em>Tintin and the Secret of Literature</em>, the twists of plot and characterization found in the Tintin stories are enough to lead us to a  definition of Literature while having a lot of fun mining the depths of the psyche that created the stories.  The seemingly light-hearted adventures starring Tintin and Haddock hide far darker, richer symbols and themes, many of which could not have been unknown to the author.</p>
<p>While I love the stories, it is probably the crisp, clean, <em>ligne claire</em> style that I enjoy most about these graphic novels (imitated to perfection by cartoonist <a title="Joost Swarte - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joost_Swarte" target="_blank">Joost Swarte</a>, among many others).  As such an essential characteristic of the books,  I'm interested to see how it is rendered in <a title="Tintin (2009)" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983193/" target="_blank">Spielberg's motion-capture film</a> series, the first of which is due to be released in 2009.   Andy Serkis, best known as Golem in <em>The Lord of the Rings</em> films, is confirmed to play Haddock -  just check out his gruff portrayal of record producer Martin Hannett in <em>24-Hour Party People</em> (2002) of which  my favorite line has to be (paraphrased): "I'm a genius, you're all wankers, you'll never see me again...you don't <em>deserve</em> to see me again."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cartoonmagmovie.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/steven_spielberg.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-197" src="http://cartoonmagmovie.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/steven_spielberg.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="265" /></a>L'Hollywood Reporter annuncia che sarà <strong>Peter Jackson</strong> a dirigere il primo dei tre film su <strong>Tintin</strong>, ma la produzione smentisce tutto: sarà <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> a girarlo. E intanto si scoprono i due libri dai quali verrà tratto.</p>
<p>A volte anche quotidiani autorevoli come l'Hollywood Reporter prendono una cantonata. Il giornale aveva annunciato, poche ore fa, una piccola rivoluzione nella sequenza dei registi impegnati a girare i tre film di Tintin: sembrava infatti che non sarebbe più stato Steven Spielberg a girare il primo film, ma Peter Jackson.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Immediata la smentita da parte degli uffici stampa di entrambi i registi: Spielberg è ancora ufficialmente il regista del primo film, mentre Jackson lavorerà al secondo. Sembra che il rumour fosse partito da un portavoce degli Herge Studios, che si occupano della gestione dei diritti dei film. L'Hollywood Reporter ha subito rimosso la notizia. Quello che non si sa è se le riprese partiranno, come previsto, a settembre: pare che potrebbero esserci dei ritardi.</p>
<p>Basati sulla popolare serie di libri a fumetti del belga Herge, i tre film verranno girati con una tecnologia simile a quella impiegata da Robert Zemeckis in Beowulf, ovvero il Performance Capture, ma utilizzando cineprese Stereo 3D come in Avatar di James Cameron.</p>
<p>Il primo film, scritto da <strong>Steven Moffat</strong> (Doctor Who), è stato adattato da due libri: <strong>Il Segreto dell'Unicorno</strong> e<strong> Il Tesoro di Rakam il Rosso</strong>, scritti negli anni quaranta da Herge. Il secondo film verrà girato da Peter Jackson nel 2009, appena concluse le riprese del primo, senza interrompere la produzione; il terzo film vedrà probabilmente i due registi in collaborazione dietro la macchina da presa.</p>
<p>Nel cast sono confermati sia il giovane <strong>Thomas Sangster</strong>, che interpreterà Tintin, sia<strong> Andy Serkis</strong> nei panni del suo leale amico, il Capitano Haddock.<br />
I film sono dalla DreamWorks di Spielberg, tramite la quale il regista è riuscito ad accaparrarsi i diritti per la trasposizione del fumetto dopo anni e anni di tentativi. A produrre ci sarà anche <strong>Kathleen Kennedy</strong>, con la distribuzione (probabilmente) della DreamWorks Animation.</p>
<p>Il primo film dovrebbe uscire nel 2010.</p>

En El loto rosa, un libro de ensayos de Antonia Altarriba, el personaje de Hergé rompe con la eter]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.vsmedios.com/cine/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/tintin.jpg" alt="" width="623" height="489" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>En El loto rosa, un libro de ensayos de Antonia Altarriba, el personaje de Hergé rompe con la eterna adolescencia, tiene relaciones con mujeres y su foxterrier Milú ha muerto. Revisionistas encantados y puristas escandalizados.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tintín tuvo sexo y fue prohibido por los herederos de Georges Remi Hergé, el escritor que creó el personaje en 1929. Imaginar un Tintín preocupado por las mujeres y el dinero fue considerado "<em>perversión</em>".</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Durante décadas miles de lectores siguieron los viajes, los descubrimientos, las persecuciones y triunfos del eterno adolescente con afición periodista y su perro Milú. El año pasado se publicó El loto rosa, una edición especial de Edicions de Ponent que conmemoraba el centenario del nacimiento del autor de <strong>Las aventuras de Tintín</strong> en sus 24 volúmenes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El loto rosa reúne cinco ensayos del escritor y crítico literario Antonio Altarriba con ilustraciones de Ricard Castells y Hernández Landazábal. A lo largo del libro Altarriba analiza los personajes de la saga, los recursos narrativos, la relación entre imagen y texto y las revelaciones del género.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como último capítulo, Altarriba <em>incluyó un relato en el que imagina cómo hubiera seguido la vida de Tintín después de la muerte de su autor. "Es un Tintín más maduro, actual y moderno. Ha crecido y ha mantenido relaciones sexuales</em>", contó Altarriba al diario El País. "Se ha hecho mayor y es más escéptico."</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Además del sexo, Altarriba rompió con dos puntos que para él son centrales en la historia: "<em>La ausencia del paso del tiempo</em> -Tintín siempre es adolescente- y<em> la abolición de la presencia femenina: en sus peripecias nunca hay mujeres, excepto la Casta</em>fiore", explicó.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En la versión de Altarriba, por el paso de los años Tintín cambió su perfil periodístico y tuvo que convertirse en un paparazzi por dinero. Además del sueldo, se preocupa por las mujeres. Su inseparable foxterrier murió. El capitán Haddock se volvió alcohólico y el profesor Tornasol está internado en un psiquiátrico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>"Ya no es el héroe luminoso y solar de su juventud. Es crepuscular, ha sufrido derrotas y ve que las cosas son difíciles</em>", dijo Altarriba. <em>"Es como si hubiera aterrizado en una realidad más dura en la que no triunfan los ideales de su juventud sino el dinero</em>."</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Los Tintín-puristas se escandalizaron y denunciaron que el relato "<em>ha pervertido la esencia del personaje</em>". Y Moulinsart, la sociedad que reúne a los herederos de Hergé, pidió que desapareciera inmediatamente de las librerías. La editorial consiguió impedirlo, pero al poco tiempo volvieron a las armas. Aunque Moulinsart tuvo que reconocer que no había ningún delito, hizo hincapié en la perversión de la esencia del personaje y su mundo. Finalmente, los abogados de ambas partes firmaron un acuerdo por el que la editorial no debe retirar los libros distribuidos, pero no podrá reeditarlo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Con esto se abrió un polémico debate sobre cuál es el límite entre <em>"el ejercicio de un derecho legítimo de propiedad intelectual y la censura a la hora de marcar lo que se puede o no decir sobre un personaje</em>", comentó Altarriba.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Revisionar el "universo Tintín" no fue sólo un intento de Altarriba. En varias ocasiones se ha criticado la escasa aparición de mujeres, y una ideología colonialista y racista. Hasta hubo demandas legales: un estudiante congoleño, Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo, denunció que no se hubieran hecho modificaciones en las reediciones al volumen <strong><em>Tintín en el Congo</em></strong>, publicado en 1931, por sus apreciaciones del país que por entonces era una colonia belga y que "<em>actualmente son un insulto para los congoleños</em>".</p>

<p>Jag läser i <a href="http://www.svd.se/kulturnoje/nyheter/artikel_1578467.svd">Svd</a> att <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herg%C3%A9">Hergés</a> dödsbo är upprörda över en "tolkning" av Tintin med en stor sexuell aptit och boken "Rosa lotus" ska därför dras tillbaka. Inte konstigt kanske, med tanke på Hergés tvivelaktiga politiska hemvist.</p>
<p>Min favorit är annars "Breaking Free" med Tintin som arbetslös knegare som får nog och börjar göra revolution, detta plagiat finns nu faktiskt tillgängligt på nätet så det är bara att läsa den.</p>
<p>Och här är såklart länken: <a href="http://tintinrevolution.free.fr/">Breaking Free</a></p>
<p>För en svensk serie som handlar om arbetsplatskamp rekommenderar jag Bromanders <a href="http://bromander.amaurot.se/chefen.htm">Chefen</a> (automarxaren på sid 7 är så jävla kul!).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speaking of Bigfoot and such . . . I had just clicked on a video about Tintin and a Yeti over at <a href="http://aterrier.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/believe-it-or-not/" target="_blank">aterrier</a> when I felt a lump on Rusty's neck that I thought might be a tick. I pulled him into my lap to check it out and he squirmed around to watch the video on the laptop next to me. He watched the <em>entire 10 minutes, 18 seconds,</em> lying quietly in my lap. He sometimes watches TV, too. Fred was not interested in TV at all. If I let Rusty watch TV, will that hamper his intellectual growth or enhance it? Hmmm. Maybe we should buy a video on housebreaking your puppy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've never really appreciated Tintin too much. Perhaps I haven't spent enough time in Belgium to get it but I just don't have any real affection for the character, unlike for example Barbarpapa who I adore. Maybe it's a gender thing.</p>
<p>Anyway there is a small <a title="Piece" href="http://http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2008/0818/1218868020063.html" target="_blank">piece</a> in <em>The Irish Times</em> today about a new Spanish book which Herge's estated have persuaded the publishers to withdraw as apparently it was creating a new racier older version of Tintin -  more tabloid hack than intrepid fresh faced investigator. I can't really see what all the fuss is about! It reminds me of that recent <a title="issues" href="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/08/childrens_writers_dont_misbeha.html" target="_blank">issues </a>that <a title="David Maybury" href="http://www.davidmaybury.ie" target="_blank">David</a> and <a href="http://achuka.co.uk/achockablog/">Achuka </a>both picked up on  about children's books writers been offered contracts which penalise them if their personal lives  damage their book sales. It's that age old debate about whether you can separate art from artist and perhaps when I'm a ripe old age I'll be able to figure that one out!</p>
<p>Q102 considering doing a related piece about 5.15pm on Wednesday - Listen in, you might hear a certain caterpillar......</p>

<p>This was the cover art for "Tintin in the new World" by Frederic Tuten.</p>
<blockquote><p>But carping is absurd when dealing with a novel so richly inventive and so subtly textured. Who can resist a text that interpolates Snowy's thoughts and canine romances into the running narrative, that drops certain corny paragraphs into quotation marks in order to suggest their bogus novelistic tone, but that somehow remains -- dare I say it? -- sincere?</p>

<p>from <a href="http://seemikedraw.wordpress.com/2008/03/" target="_blank">SeeMikeDraw</a></p>
<blockquote><p>But on Friday at a hotel in Palo Alto, Calif., a pair of Bigfoot hunters say they will present what they contend is the most definitive proof yet of an animal that science says does not exist: DNA evidence and photographs of a dead specimen they say they found in a remote swath of woods in northern Georgia."It was very frightening at first," said Rick Dyer, 31, a former corrections officer who - coincidentally - runs a business that offers Bigfoot tours. "And it got even more frightening when you saw the others."</p>
<p>Indeed, Mr. Dyer said he and his partner, Matthew Whitton, saw three more of the beasts nearby as they dragged the body of said creature out of the woods. Moreover, Mr. Dyer says he has video clips and photographs to prove it.</p>
<p>One photograph provided to the news media showed what resembled a gorilla - or maybe an old sheepskin rug - lying twisted in a freezer, with a dollop of intestines protruding from its belly.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Berhubung sekarang lagi semangat-semangatnya saya merapihkan dan mendata ulang semua komik saya, terutama komik terjemahan dari luar Asia sana, komik Eropa, dan sedikit komik Amerika milik saya. Mengingat sekarang harga jual yang diberikan penjual buku bekas sangat tidak masuk akal...Jadi saya mulai memasukan mereka kedalam plastik satu persatu...Sayang sekali rasanya kalau nanti anak saya tidak sempat tahu komik-komik Eropa ini, apalagi sampai tidak sempat mencintai mereka, sebagai mana saya dahulu...</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Seperti layaknya anak-anak yang tumbuh di era 80an, saya berkenalan pertama kali dengan komik lewat majalah Eppo, majalah yang berisi cerita bersambung dari komik-komik Eropa sana, dan berkenalan dengan Storm, Roel Djikstra [yang nantinya mereka-mkereka ini muncul juga di majalah Hai], Agen 327, dan lain-lain...</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Selain Eppo, tentunya Indira dengan Tintin-nya menyumbang jasa besar dalam menumbuhkan kecintaan saya akan komik. saya ingat sekali bagaimana rasanya ke Indira, yang kebetulan dekat sekali dengan rumah kakek saya, dibilangan Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, hanya jalan kaki sepuluh menit sampai, dan memutar-mutar rak komik yang terbuat dari besi layaknya gantungan baju berputar, di sebelah kanan dari pintu masuk Indira.&#62;Kisah petualangan Tintin, begitulah judul aslinya, bercerita tentang seorang wartawan muda yang bernama Tintin, bersama anjingnya yang setia, Snowy. Komik buatan Hergé ini mengajak saya, si pembaca untuk berpetualang mengelilingi dunia, mengikuti kasus-kasus yang di pecahkan oleh si Tintin ini, reporter yang terkadang lebih seperti seorang detektif, mengalahkan Thompson dan Thomson, si kembar dektektif yang selalu sial. Untuk detail tentang Tintin, saya bahas di</span></span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">entry</span></span></em></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;"> saya lainnya.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://cikibawawaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/tintin.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12 alignnone" src="http://cikibawawaw.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/tintin.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Mengapa saya suka Tintin?, walaupun secara detail pewajahan karakternya kurang detail, mata Tintin hanyalah sebuah titik, dan raut muka yang sangat sederhana...tetapi detail sekali untuk hal-hal lainya, penuh rasanya panelnya dengan detail-detail </span></span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">background</span></span></em></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;"> yang luar biasa buat saya...</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Selain itu Tintin juga tanpa sadar mengajari saya untuk cinta akan sejarah, karena dalam beberapa petualangnya, sangat terkait dengan peristiwa sejarah yang terjadi di era dimana Hergé membuat kisah-kisah Tintin tersebut...Coba saja lihat "Lotus Biru" misalnya, di sana, walaupun jujur saat pertama kali membacanya, saya harus ekstra kerjaan dengan bertanya ke Ibu saya, ataupun membuka ensiklopedia, saya belajar mengenai madat [opium], perang Boxer, walaupun secara eksplisit, dan yang terhebat adalah, mengajak saya pergi ke Cina pinggiran sana, dengan illustrasi komik yang nyaris detail suasana di Cina sana...walaupun Hergé sendiri dalam menggambarkan kisahnya bersenjatakan foto-foto orang dan hasil wawancara orang, tapi serasa </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Hergé </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">sendiri yang kesana, baik Tibet, Cina, Mesir dan Indonesia.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Dari mana saya kenal Tintin? tentu saja dari Ibu saya, karena dia sendiri sudah mengenal Tintin dari zaman sebelum terbitan Indira, zaman terbitan asing, Belanda, dia lebih mengenal Kuifje tepatnya, Tintin dalam terbitan Belanda. Dan kemarin, sepulangnya dari mengajar di Depok sana, dia memamerkan saya akan komik Tintin edisi Gramedia yang baru dibelinya...</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Selain Tintin, salah satu seri komik terbitan Indira lainnya yang menjadi kegemaran saya adalah Tanguy &#38; Lavedure. Nah yang ini komik anak laki-laki banget, berbeda dengan Tintin yang segala umur dan gender bisa masuk, kalau Tanguy &#38; Lavedure, sepertinya hanya yang suka militer, pesawat terbang dan sangat laki-laki saja yang suka membacanya, walaupun tidak ada aturan yang melarang mereka yang tidak suka hal-hal tersebut, untuk membacanya.</span></span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://cikibawawaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/tanguy1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13 alignnone" src="http://cikibawawaw.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/tanguy1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Tanguy &#38; Lavedure sendiri bercerita tentang petualangan dua pilot pesawat tempur Mirage bernama, Tanguy dan kawan karibnya Lavedure. Walaupun cenderung serius, tetapi kisah perjalan mereka berdua di bumbui oleh humor-humor segar, ala Lavedure, yang berkarakter sedikit sok tahu, jahil, tetapi suka sial, berbeda dengan rekannya si Tanguy yang lebih dewasa, </span></span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">coo</span></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">l, dan terlihat lebih handal. Komik ini bercerita tentang kisah-kisah petualangan yang dialami </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Tanguy &#38; Lavedure, dalam menjalankan misi-misi mereka di skuadron Bangau Terbang.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Komikus/illustratornya sendiri untuk komik petualangan <span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Tanguy &#38; Lavedure ini, terbagi dalam kedua era, era Albert Uderzo dan era Jijé, dengan naskah /ide cerita dari </span></span></span>Jean-Michel Charlier. Uderzo sendiri akhirnya sibuk dengan serialnya yang terkenal, Asterix bersama dengan René Goscinny. Perbedaan antara versi Uderzo dengan versi <span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Jijé terlihat dalam cara pengambarannya, Uderzo lebih terlihat komikal, dan terkadang ceritanay lebih banyak bumbu humornya. Sedangkan versi </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Jijé, cenderung realistik, dan serius isinya. Tetapi saya kok lebih suka versi </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Jijé rasanya. Lebih menegangkan.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Seperti halnya seri petualangan Tintin, saya juga banyak mendapatkan pelajaran dari </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Tanguy &#38; Lavedure ini. walaupun rasanya jauh lebih berat daripada Tintin, lebih serius paling tidak,  tetapi saya dahulu suka sekali dengan komik ini. Dari </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Tanguy &#38; Lavedure saya bisa merasakan dan tahu sedikit tentang bangsa Arab modern, yang penuh dengan revolusi, penggulingan kekuasaan [lihat "Letnan Double Bang"], hingga perlombaan senjata/penjualan pesawat terbang, anatara Mirage dan Mig, serta kecangihan pesawat tempur Harrier milik Inggris. Dan itu semua belajar dari komik, media yang terkadang dianggap sampah dan dipandang sebelah mata di mata dunia literatur </span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">dahulu.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial,helvetica;">Nah terakhir dari komik-komik Eropa favorit saya dahulu, adalah kisah petulanagn Asterix dan sahabatnya Obelix, dua orang prajurit Galia. Yang berasal dari  sebuah desa Galia, yang  merupakan satu-satunya desa di Galia, yang belum jatuh ketangan kekaisaran Romawi. Dan tentunya membuat gila sang kaisar Romawi, Julius Caesar.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://cikibawawaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/asterix.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14 alignnone" src="http://cikibawawaw.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/asterix.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Asterix, Obelix dan Idefix, anjing Obelix, sering melakukan petualangan, menjelajah ke penjuru dunia, mulai dari ke timur tengah, ke Mesir, keliling Eropa, hingga ke benua Amerika. Dan hebatnya duo Uderzo &#38; Goscinny ini, berhasil membuat karakter yang berbeda-beda, tidak hanya secara visual tetapi juga dari cara berbicara, yang juga secara visual/teks keluar dari jenis font yang dipakai, untuk bangsa Jerman misalnya, teks dalam balon suara menggunakan jenis huruf Gothic, serta nama-nama mereka, yang berbeda sesuai suku bangsa mereka. Seru yah!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Banyaknya karakter ini lah yang membuat saya suka dengan kisah perajurit Galia ini. Contoh lagi bajak laut yang selalu berpapasan dengan mereka jika Asterix dan Obelix melakukan perjalanan dengan kapal/perahu. Dalam satu kapal terdapat banyak karakter disana, mulai dari sang kepala bajak laut, yang terlihat paling bengis tetapi takutnya setengah mati, kalau melihat Asterix dan Obelix, takut kapalnya di tenggelamkan oleh mereka, hinga menengelamkan kapalnya sendiri, sang asisten kapten kapal, pelaut tua berkaki kayu, yang selalu mengoceh dalam bahasa Latin, hingga sang juru lihat di atas tiang sana, yang besar, berkulit hitam legam, tetapi gagu...gila kan...!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Walaupun komikal, tetapi petualangan Asterix ini sangatlah kaya akan detail, coba lihat kisah mereka dengan Cleopatra, lihatlah baju yang dipakai orang-orang mesir itu dan segala alat regalia-nya Cleopatra, wah dahsyat! Dan bodohnya serial Asterix ini sering terdapat penampakan-penampakan [cameo], mulai dari <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054331/">Spartakusnya Kirk Douglas</a>, The Beatles [lihat Asterix di Inggris], Laurel &#38; Hardy, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis">Manneken pis</a> hingga si <a href="http://advertisingiconmuseum.org/inside/c11/3519091.html">Michelin Man</a>! Dan semakin saya dewasa, sejalan dengan bertambahnya pengetahuan saya yang saya miliki, semakin banyak hal-hal tersembunyi ang saya temukan di kisah Asterix ini...Seperti karakter bangsa Arab yang sibuk berkelahi satu sama lainnya, seperti yang bisa kita lihat dalam "Asterix dan Putri Rahazade".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jadi mengerti dong mengapa saya suka Asterix...demi Toutatis!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Publikasi komik-komik Eropa ini, selain ketiga komik diatas, tumbuh subur di Indonesia pada era paruh 70an, selama era 80an dan berhenti di awal tahun 90an, dimana Indira sudah sekarat, Sinar Harapan, penerbit Asterix disini sudah separuh nafas, Erlangga, Aya Media Pustaka mulai gelagapan, dan Misurid mulai hilang, tenggelam. Gramedia? mereka banting setir dari komik Eropa yang cenderung semakin mahal pembuatannya, karena berwarna, dan harga hak ciptanya mahal, lari ke Manga Jepang dan Manhua Cina.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://cikibawawaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/manga.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-15 alignnone" src="http://cikibawawaw.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/manga.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mulai lah toko buku dibanjiri oleh terbitan Elex Media, anak perusahan Gramedia pada akhir era 80an, mulai dari serial Candy-Candy, yang tidak asing lagi, karena pernah ditayangkan oleh TVRI kartunya [Anime], berbarengan dengan Doraemon, disusul dengan Kung Fu Boy dan Dragon Ball dengan kisah perjalanan Son Goku mencari bola naga, keseluruh penjuru dunia. Selain Elex, Rajawai Press, menerbitkan City Hunter, yang genrenya rada-rada dewasa, penuh sensoran.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dan mulailah dominasi Manga dan Manhua menjajah Indonesia...kalaupun terkadang masih diselingi dengan terbitnya Asterix, dan komik-komik Amerika...Secara cerita, sebenarnya kalau kita mau mengikuti komik Manga, terlebih lagi versi penerbit kecil, bawah tanah, yang cenderung sangat dewasa, kalau tidak bisa dibilang porno, cerita-cerita mereka lebih beragam lagi, lebih sinting lagi, dibandingkan komik Eropa yang cenderung bercerita tentang kehidupan biasa yang normal. Mulai dari kisah seorang ahli kung fu yang berkelana, kisah seorang agen penyelidik asuransi, kisah kehidupan masa depan, hingga kisah seorang pembuat film porno!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Terlepas dari isinya yang beragam, yang sangat menarik saya, ada satu hal yang membuat saya miris melihat dominasi komik Manga ini. Karena dominasi ini, anak-anak pembaca komik sekarang, dalam dua dekade lewat ini, hanya tahu komik yang berasal dari negeri Sakura ini dan Manhua yang berasal dari Cina, kalaupun ada komik diluar komik Asia ini, harganya terasa sangat mahal, sebagai perbandingan, komik Manga Indonesia: Rp. 16.000,- komik Tintin baru: Rp. 45.000,-, kasarnya harag satu komik Eropa bisa membeli tiga komik Manga. Tetapi bukan hanya ini saja  masalahnya, yang lebih parah lagi kalau kita melihat anak-anak sekarang menggambar, mereka sangat terpengaruh dengn gaya gambar ala Manga, sehingga sulit rasanya menemukan gaya gambar yang orisinal, khas Indonesia, ditahun-tahun yang akan datang. Tidak  salah memang, tetapi efeknya rada mengerikan memang melihat gambar manusia bermata besar seperti layaknya karakter Manga...</p>
<p>Soal tentang Manga favorit saya? nanti saya tulis kapan-kapan yah...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color:#cc99ff;"><em><strong>Life’s quite comical. </strong></em></span></h1>
<h2>One day, seeing my colleague plunged neck deep into a Hindi comics, I had to borrow the lot.</h2>
<p>Just to catch up on the stories I had missed in all those growing-up years, I suspended all my official activities. Before the day concluded, I had completed my whirlwind adventure into the once-familiar universe of characters.</p>
<p>Back then, two of my absolute favourites were - <span style="color:#993300;"><em><strong>Chacha Chowdury</strong></em></span>, the common man’s genius, whose brain works faster than a computer; and <span style="color:#008000;"><em><strong>Nagaraj</strong></em></span>, the shape-shifting snakeman, whose venomous breath can melt even iron. Of course, there was the dare devilry of <span style="color:#333399;"><em><strong>Super Commando Dhruv</strong></em></span>, the scheming wit of <span style="color:#ff6600;"><em><strong>Bankelal</strong></em></span>, the innocent simplicity of <span style="color:#993366;"><em><strong>Billoo and Pinki</strong></em></span>, and many more loveable characters – each with their own magnetic world.</p>
<p>“Look, I got it first! The latest comics from Lajpat Nagar, its available nowhere else”, my best friend had teased me once. At that time, the defeat was difficult to digest. I remember spending rest of the week convincing him to lend me that comics. Atlast, a deal was struck – his one comics in exchange for three of mine. What a magical ‘read-till-you-drop’ era that was!</p>
<h3>From class 7 through 10, my enviable collection of Hindi comics, stuffed mercilessly in a dilapidated green bag, was touching 300. Having re-read each one of them countless times, the juice in them had dried up.</h3>
<p>Then studies caught up; with Biology and Physics taking over the chemistry of reading. My nephew inherited some of these priceless wonders. The rest of them were disposed by my mother to the <span style="color:#3366ff;"><em><strong>kabadiwallah</strong></em></span> for a princely sum of <span style="color:#808000;"><em><strong>98 rupees</strong></em></span>. A big, moist chunk of my heart too went along.</p>
<h2><em>Ahhh...A comics in hand is truly worth all the joys of the world. </em></h2>
<p>Comics painted the canvas of my childhood with colours of curiosity. After a rollercoaster ride through the marvels of Indrajal, Enid Blyton, Amar Chitra Katha, Asterix and Tintin, I have now made friends with the enigmatic Harry Potter.</p>
<h1><em><span style="color:#cc99ff;">I wish to devour some delicious comics before this Independence Day, just to set free once more the imagination of the cute, charismatic child within!</span></em></h1>

La garrafa d'aigua de Ribes s'ha acabat i he tirat primer de Seven up calent i esbrafat i després, i com a últim recurs, d'aigua de l'aixeta (al barri de Sants ens ve del Llobregat: molestosa fins i tot per a rentar-se les dents). Horrible, la nit ha estat com els Dupond i Dupont perduts al desert. Açò no ho aguanta ni Déu i ací no queda ni Cristo, mone. Demà ja estarem al poble de la mínima de 15ºC just a l'inici de <strong>La setmana</strong>. El cadafal no farà vacances però amb una entradeta crec que n'hi haurà de sobres. És temps per als cadafals de veres.</p>

Tintin and Snowy by <a href="http://jefflemire.blogspot.com/">Jeff Lemire</a>, kicking things off with a bang</p>
<p>It's alive! My <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/phthoggos/sets/72157606566029871/">Tintin sketchbook</a> was born at San Diego this summer -- I'd been wanting to start one for a while, jealous of <a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/blog/">Brett</a>'s <a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/news/kalibak_lg.gif">Kirby book</a> and <a href="http://www.alltooflat.com/about/personal/sean/">Sean</a>'s <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/9486145@N04/sets/72157602061430969/">Bowie book</a>. Since they had those themes sewn up, I went for Tintin characters - a pretty safe choice, beloved by the highbrow critics but also by the inner ten-year-old in all of us, famous but also somehow underexposed in American comics circles. Reading Tintin albums from the public library was one of my formative early comics experiences, and probably shaped my conviction that comics can be truly populist and still good.</p>
<p>Since this was largely a business con for me, I didn't get the book into as many hands as I might have liked, but hey, that's what the next ten years are for. There's a natural preponderance of Top Shelf artists and friends, since they were readily at hand... but I never could get <a href="http://andyrunton.com/">Andy Runton</a> away from his adoring fans long enough to grace the pages. Next time, Runton...</p>
<p>Anyway, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/phthoggos/sets/72157606566029871/">click here</a> for the goodness.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/2743/degrelleth0.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="450" />La prochaine adaptation de <em>Tintin </em>progresse au cinéma. De nouvelles informations ont été enfin révélées. Spielberg et Peter Jackson, deux réalisateurs doués et ambitieux (il faut le dire), ont décidé de commencer en Septembre le premier épisode  d'une saga qui s'annonce comme une trilogie, soit dans quelques semaines. Il se pourrait qu'il s'agisse de l'adaption de l'épisode "<em>Le crabe au pinces d'or</em>", aventure où notre reporter préféré de la bande dessinée rencontre le Capitaine Haddock. D'autres rumeurs affirment qu'il pourrait s'agir de "<em>Vol 714 pour Sidney</em>", ou peut-être un mix des deux épisodes. En tous cas, nul besoin de préciser que le budget sera là.</p>
<p>Ces adaptations de trois albums de <em>Tintin </em>mêleront prises de vues réelles et captures de mouvements.</p>
<p>Tout ce qu'on espère de ce juif fondamentaliste de Spielberg, c'est qu'il restera fidèle à l'esprit de la bande dessinée et qu'il ne salira pas le personnage. Pas de leçons droitsdel'hommesques, pas d'antifascisme maladif, pas de sexe ni d'allusions éventuelles à l'homosexualité par pitié ! On connait malheureusement le gaillard ...</p>
<p>Tintin est un personnage bien trop précieux de la bande-dessinée européenne que pour être manipulé par les griffes acérées de certains intégristes ... Spielberg est une bonne référence sur le plan technique du mode de réalisation, mais pas des meilleures sur le plan moral et politique. Espérons qu'il ne dénaturera pas notre intrépide reporter ...</p>
<p>Mais pourquoi en faire tout en plat sur le site des <em>intransigeants </em>? La réponse est simple, elle se trouve dans le livre "<strong>Tintin mon copain</strong>" de <strong>Léon Degrelle</strong>, le combattant belge spirituellement catholique et politiquement révolutionnaire. Hergé, auteur de <em>Tintin </em>et ancien collaborateur durant l' "occupation" via le journal <em>Le soir </em>de l'époque, fut un grand ami de Léon Degrelle. Ils se rencontrèrent tous les deux dans le cadre de la rédaction du journal <em>Le vingtième siècle</em> dans les années 20, un journal catholique considéré comme "très à droite". Hergé collaborera d'ailleurs à toute une série d'initiatives politiques proposées par Léon Degrelle (couvertures de brochures, affiches, caricatures ...).</p>
<p>L'amitié entre le dessinateur et Degrelle alla très loin ... Au point que, d'après ce que nous rapporte Degrelle et même des antifascistes, les personnages de Tintin et Milou auraient des origines bien curieuses ...</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/2751/tintinmilouag0.jpg" alt="" width="211" height="414" /><strong>D'abord Milou</strong>. Voici ce que Degrelle rapporte dans son livre (interdit à la vente) :</p>
<p>"<em>En fait, j'ai presque peur de le révéler. Georges [Hergé] et moi avions déniché, absolument par hasard, sur une vieille photo datant des tranchées de la Première Guerre Mondiale, un gentil quadrupède à l'allure pré-milounesque. Hergé, qui cherchait pour ses B.D. un petit chien ou l'autre parmi des millions d'autres chiens blancs et futés, fut frappé par cette image imprévue. Le petit chien blanc de la photo dressait son nez fureteur aux pieds de quelques soldats allemands, plutôt dépenaillés. C'est à cause d'un de ces soldats que ladite photo avait été publiée, dix ans après, par l'hebdomadaire que nous feuilletions.</em></p>
<p><em>Quel soldat me direz-vous ?</em></p>
<p><em>J'ose à peine vous répondre car vous allez faire explosion ! Je me contenterai de vous dire que le nom du soldat commençait par un H... <strong>Adolf H.</strong>, si vous insistez trop ! Regardez la vieille photo, vous comprendrez vite.</em></p>
<p><em>Le brave Hergé, questionné à ce sujet après 1945, se contentait de répondre évasivement: "Milou? Je ne me souviens vraiment plus d'où il est sorti." C'était plus sage !</em>"</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/192/tintinmilou2hv6.jpg" alt="" width="445" height="320" /></p>
<p><strong>La bande dessinée européenne est née au Mexique, grâce à Léon Degrelle</strong>, à l'époque journaliste. Il était venu rejoindre, non sans difficultés, les guerriers catholiques "<em>Los Cristeros</em>" dans leur combat contre le gouvernement communiste. Dans son <em>Monde d'Hergé</em>, Benoit Peeters révèle ceci : "<em>Par l'intermédiaire de journaux mexicains envoyés à Bruxelles par un correspondant du 'Vingtième Siècle", Hergé vient de prendre connaissance de la bande dessinée américaine (...). La série qu'on va lancer ne sera plus un simple texte mis en images; il s'agira cette fois d'une véritable bande dessinée où les deux éléments viendront se fondre l'un dans l'autre</em>."</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9689/tintinmilou3wd7.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="569" />Hergé aura lui-même le courage de déclarer ceci dans une interview accordée à la <em>Libre Belgique</em> du 30 décembre 1975, malgré les haines de l'après-guerre : "J'<em>ai découvert la bande dessinée grâce à... Léon Degrelle ! Celui-ci, en effet, était parti comme journaliste au Mexique et il envoyait au "Vingtième Siècle", non seulement des chroniques personnelles, mais aussi des journaux locaux (pour situer l'atmosphère) dans lesquels paraissaient des bandes dessinées américaines. J'ai découvert ainsi mes premiers comics</em>".</p>
<p>Mais attendez le meilleur ...</p>
<p>Degrelle, qui n'avait pas beaucoup de moyens, avait économisé un beau jour pour s'offrir un vêtement orginal : <strong>une culotte de golf </strong>! Il raconte que quand il se présenta à Hergé, ce dernier fut "éblouis par un tel luxe". Pour les scouts qu'ils étaient, c'était pour eux "le symbole de l'intrépidité". Degrelle se mit alors à dessiner un petit personnage avec une culotte de golf. Dans son livre, Degrelle déclare que "<em>J'étais, dans notre petit cercle amical, le seul modèle à sa portée: ou bien arpentant dans ma culotte de golf les routes ardennaises, un peu plus tard, portant ma fillette Chantal dans mes bras à Bruxelles</em>."</p>
<p>Autre caractéristique incontournable de Tintin : <strong>La houpette enroulée en arrière</strong>. Où Hergé est-il donc allé chercher une telle originalité ? Observez ces deux images prisent en 1927 et 1928 ... Observez aussi la bouille toute ronde, imbarbe et juvénile de Degrelle à l'époque, ça en dit long.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1193/tintinmilou4xt0.jpg" alt="" width="511" height="411" /></p>
<p>En dehors de l'aspect physique et de la profession (journaliste), Degrelle incarnait aussi les ambitions aventureuses du personnage : "<em>Je vivrais, je lutterais, je risquerais ma peau pour conquérir le coeur et l'esprit de mon peuple, pour en faire une double communauté ordonnée, pour forger ensuite, dans les grands combats contre le bolchévisme, une Europe unie, capable de faire face à la poussée puissante des grandes unités hypercapitalistes qui surgissaient en force à travers l'univers - de Tokyo à New York - et qui feraient le XXIème siècle.</em>"</p>
<p><strong>Si le Degrelle en chair et en os n'aura pas atteint tous les coeurs du fait qu'il a perdu la guerre, il aura au moins atteint les coeurs au travers du personnage de <em>Tintin</em></strong>. Le souvenir du plus grand héros belge de l'Histoire du 20ème siècle perdure ainsi dans les B.D., les dessins-animés, les cartables, les plumiers, les t-shirts, les porte-feuilles, les figurines, les sculptures en bois, les fêtes, les émissions, le cinéma ... Merci Hergé.</p>
<p>On raconte que quelques dessins animés très réussis de Degr... heu ... Tintin (pardon), se trouveraient sur Dailymotion.com . La diffusion de ce genre de dessin-animé est illégale, nous n'irons donc pas vérifier.</p>
<p>Autre chose : Le talentueux artiste <strong>Goldofaf </strong>a fait une très belle chanson sur Leon Degrelle, probablement sa meilleure. Nous attendons un éventuel clip avec impatience.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week has been very busy.</p>
<p><strong>Monday - Cycling at ECP with Tintin</strong><br />
(My ass still smarts from the stupid design of the triangular seat. WHY SO HARD?! WHY SO SHARP?!)<br />
<strong>Tuesday - Friends of Juan gathering at school</strong><br />
(Finishing up Salsa Guy's goat)<br />
<strong>Wednesday - Singapore Garden Festival with Tintin</strong><br />
(The festival ended today. Which was a pity, because the exhibition was quite marvelous. And cold.)<br />
<strong>Thursday - Friends of Juan gathering at school</strong><br />
(We finished the vomiting goat! It looked pretty awesome)<br />
<strong>Friday - Bix's birthday celebration at Cash with Shasha, Ruru, and Jo</strong><br />
(We brought in Pizza!!! AND WE GOT EXTENSION!!! ON A FRIDAY!!!)<br />
<strong>Saturday - Shopping with Ade</strong><br />
(hopefully Ade will be doing the shopping while my purse remains unmolested)<br />
(highly unlikely though XDD)<br />
<strong>Sunday - Aero hunting with Senpai</strong><br />
(I really don't know what to expect. How come her job sounds so fun and un-job-like? Haha!)</p>
<p>Wah lau, My leg and back muscles already ache very much now. Msss (which stands for: mai siao siao sia)</p>
<p>Is this some kind of ploy to make me sink into fatigue right before the new semester starts?</p>
<p>BUT TOO BAD FOR YOU CONSPIRATORS, BECAUSE I HAVE NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY! HAR HAR HAR. Pleasedon'tjiomeoutonMondayplease.</p>
<p>I've been looking through the subjects offered in other universities for the exchange programme and the results are dismal. It seems like we won't be making full use of the time we spend there accumulating relevant credits, and would probably have to overload when we come back. Like that how. Very disadvantageous for art students ley. </p>
<p>No wonder the previous batch of exchange candidates did so much homework trying to find subjects that matched last semester. What a horrible waste of time <s>when I could be reading more manga</s>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>"<em>When you look at me - because I'm wearing a singlet, do you think that I have an eating problem?</em>" I asked Pa over Subway dinner.</p>
<p>He gave this serious look. I can't decide if it was a look of consternation or a mix of a sneer and... whatever it is when someone is about to chide someone else. Without missing a beat, he said yes. Twice.</p>
<p>And then he launched into a tirade of how skinny I was, and that I needed to build up my muscles by exercising, and to broaden my shoulders, and ended with a warning that if I didn't do that (exercise) a small illness would kill me.</p>
<p>......... OTL</p>
<p>My legs ached a lot today. It's probably due to the intense cycling Tintin and I did at East Coast Park yesterday (Covering in a record 105 minutes, the exact distance Ade, Puey and I covered the last time).</p>
<p>But it makes the dull aches more bearable if I think of it as growing pains XD</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Det har åtminstone fått mig att tänka på Tintin i Kongo, en situation som vi står inför. Fast jag kanske ska ta det från början.</p>
<p>En kompis och jag översätter böcker på fritiden. Det är inte pinfärska böcker, om man säger så. En del av dem är från 1930-talet. Det var lite annan mentalitet då. I en bok figurerar en man som inte beskrivs helt positivt: han har tjocka läppar, höknäsa, jobbar som pantlånare, och är mycket vänlig så fort han får en femtiodollarssedel. Den gnider han sedan under resten av samtalet. Åh, ja, det glömde jag att säga: han är jude. Det betonas mycket noggrant. Flera gånger.</p>
<p>Jag är inte riktigt bekväm med att översätta rakt av här. Precis som man i regel inte översätter door knob till dörrknopp utan till dörrhandtag (dörrar öppnas lite olika i USA och i Sverige), så finns det vissa fall när man kanske måste modernisera (vem vet idag vad City Directory är? Det är föregångaren till telefonkatalogen.). Är det här en sådan sak? Jag vet inte.</p>
<p>Det var därför jag kom att tänka på Tintin i Kongo. Det albumet var särdeles fördomsfullt tecknat - men det var så man såg på svarta och Afrika då. Betyder det att man ska modernisera det? Då blir det ju ett helt annat album.</p>
<p>En annan synvinkel är naturligtvis att folk behöver få läsa hur det i själva verket var. Man kan ju inte göra en "förbättrad" version av Mein Kampf. Ett bra förord kan ju förtydliga. Men då ursäktar man verket. Än värre, man riskerar att tappa läsarens inlevelse. I Mein Kampf kanske det inte spelar så stor roll. Men i ett skönlitterärt verk som har andra kvaliteteter, och där de rasistiska dragen inte ligger till grund för intrigen. (Jag skulle till exempel ha svårt att översätta Ian Flemings Live and let die, med sina rätt rasistiska porträtt av svarta.)</p>
<p>Å tredje sidan, fattar inte folk själva att boken är från 1900-talets tidigare hälft så är det väl risk för att de inte fattar intrigen heller.</p>
<p>Å fjärde sidan...</p>
<p>Så där kan man hålla på. Och jag är fortfarande inte säker på vår vän, den judiske pantlånaren.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I actually forgot about spending Sunday with Tintin because he said he wanted to go check out this place which sold old cameras. But I was duped. I thought he knew a shop which sold second-hand cameras. What he actually meant was that the place was full of second-hand booths and we would be searching for cameras among the various knick knacks. Haha!</p>
<p>Anyway, I never knew there was such a place in Singapore... China Square - It's like a mini Akiba.</p>
<p>But first, lunch. Lunch was in Chinatown. We had no idea what to eat so we took a gamble and went into this bustling eatery (a very active and bordering on obnoxious balding floor manager) for dim sum. The food was horrible. I kept laughing because this was the first time I'd tasted dim sum so horrible. The Har Gao was eww. Siew Mai was eww. Carrot cake was eww.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/hyakuiro/II/IMG_1859.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Egg tart was eww.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="alignleft"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/themoment/posts/080715_travel2.jpg" alt="Laurent Vernhes" /></p>
<p><em>This week's guest blogger is Laurent Vernhes, co-founder of the travel Web site <a href="http://www.tablethotels.com/">Tablet Hotels</a>. Vernhes, who was born in France and lived in half a dozen countries before settling down in Brooklyn, founded Tablet in 2000 as way of helping stylish, culturally-attuned travelers find hotels to match. The site's tight edit of properties spans high and low, includes opinionated commentary and ratings, and is showcased annually in a hard-cover guide. Read Vernhes's previous posts <a href="http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/laurent-vernhes/">here</a>. </em></p>
<p>Perhaps yesterday's death notice for guide books is a bit premature. At the current rate of production, we’re probably killing off forests faster than we’re burying paper travel guides. To my continual amazement, new guidebook series are being created all the time. Just this year, in English alone, I discovered five that I had never heard of.<!--more--> I’m at a loss to explain it. Perhaps a general sense of the current vulnerability of guidebooks is driving entrepreneurs and writers to try to reinvent them. The upside of guide books’ resilience, in addition to a bit of job security for travel writers, is that even though there’s no fun at all in flying anymore, people’s appetite for travel still seems to be quite healthy.</p>
<p>There’s no doubt in my mind that the future of the guidebook is in the mobile internet. Guides are just filters of information, and in a world of guide overload, we need filters for our filters. Some day soon your iPhone will have a guidebook function — it has books in there already. A quick visit to Wikipedia from your smart phone will give you more historical background than any Lonely Planet book ever could — but will still leave you at a loss for recommendations. Google’s maps are fine for raw unfiltered data but aren’t much help in decision making, and sites like Citysearch or Yelp, with their conflicts between editorial and advertising, just aren’t trustworthy enough.</p>
<p>The great online guide of the future will have the integrity and the reliability of sources that the better guidebooks are already known for, and it will be more up to date. The hard part is compelling but simple functionality that goes beyond directory listings, the kind that makes you wonder how you got on with life before it existed — and nobody online is anywhere close to that yet. We have been working on our own online guides for nearly two years now and are getting close to a beta version. If it’s successful, Tablet Guides will be obvious and familiar to you in the first two minutes, and then I can finally move on from my obsessive love-hate relationship with the guidebook industry.</p>
<p>Whether or not that happens, I believe the day will come when the guidebook industry is absorbed by the internet. And I’ll still have my favorite guides — the Tintin stories. Those images are still imprinted on my mind, at a depth I don’t think the internet can ever reach. When I finally get to Greenland or Antarctica (the last of the Tintin destinations I haven’t yet compared with reality) my benchmark won’t be Lonely Planet, but L’Étoile Mystérieuse.</p>

<p>Enough of my rambling on this subject — now it’s your turn. As this discussion is hosted by the New York Times, let’s put our heads together on what would be the ultimate guide to New York City and how it would work. What places would you recommend and how would you make it more than just a directory?<br />

<description><![CDATA[Tittel: «Bone»
Forfatter: Jeff Smith
Hylle: Tegneserier (andre etasje)
Antall sider: ca 1300 i kom]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin:15px;" src="http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n7/n39130.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="414" /><strong>Tittel</strong>: «Bone»<br />
<strong>Forfatter</strong>: Jeff Smith<br />
<strong>Hylle</strong>: Tegneserier (andre etasje)<br />
<strong>Antall sider</strong>: ca 1300 i komplett utgave</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_%28comics%29" target="_blank">Bone</a></strong> av <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Smith_%28cartoonist%29" target="_blank"><strong>Jeff Smith</strong></a> er til tross for sin relativt unge alder gått rett inn i serienes kanon sammen med <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix" target="_blank">Asterix</a></strong>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes" target="_blank"><strong>Tommy og Tigern</strong></a> og <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinTin" target="_blank"><strong>TinTin</strong></a>. Gjennom øynene på tre vidt forskjellige personer, den naive og godhjertede <strong>Fone Bone</strong>, den alltid optimistisk smilende <strong>Smiley Bone</strong> og den grådige <strong>Phoncible P. «Phoney» Bone</strong> opplever vi et grafisk fantasy-eventyr som knapt har sin like.</p>
<p>Etter å ha blitt jaget ut av hjembyen Boneville havner de tre i en mystisk dal der onde krefter og skapninger lurer. Det viser seg snart at det er opp til dem å redde innbyggerne fra ondskapen. Lyder kjent? Ja, men <em>«Bone»</em> er også mye mer enn vanlig høytidelig fantasy. Serien har både originalitet og elementer man vanligvis ikke forbinder med fantasy, ikke minst humor.</p>
<p><em>«Bone»</em><strong> </strong>ble til gjennom 13 års hardt arbeid i 55 enkeltstående hefter på til sammen godt over 1300 sider. Dette enorme verket (det må vi nesten få lov å kalle det) er senere blitt samlet i diverse samlebøker som inkluderer enkeltbøker, enkeltdeler eller hele greia i ett bind, både fargelagt og i svart/hvitt. Vi har flere av dem i samlingen, sjekk på seriehylla ved scenen eller på linken under hvilke av utgavene som er inne.</p>
