The Kat's Journal

I don't know if I have a work thing tomorrow night or not, so I don't know if I can go see District 9 tomorrow or not. *makes a face* If I can, tomorrow at 7 at the Regal Meridian 16.

In other news, the Tron soundtrack is downloadable for $1.99 on Amazon today. I am listening to it right now. Hooray!

Word out there is that DC has sent out an offer to the comic shops (From Bleeding Cool)- "For every 25 copies of Doom Patrol #4, Booster Gold #26, R.E.B.E.L.S. #10, Outsiders ‘24 and your retailer orders, they can order a bag of fifty Sinestro rings, Agent Orange rings, Indigo Tribe rings and Star Sapphire rings respectively. For every 50 copies of Justice League of America #39, Blackest Night #5 and Adventure Comics #4 sees you with a bag of fifty Red Lantern rings, Green Lantern rings and Blue Lantern rings, also respectively." Man, I would like some of those.

Warner Home Video just announced a one-night 70th Anniversary Hi-Def screening of The Wizard of Oz on September 23rd. The film has been entirely remastered and you can find showings and tickets here. Looks like there are a few theaters in the area showing it.

Lionsgate is developing a remake of Dirty Dancing.

Joker and Batman breakdance fighting. It is interactive YouTubeness. It is worth a little bit of attention even just for the animation awesomeness.

May I present, The Dark Knight Before Christmas.

... is released to the world.

There is a letter from Jeff Bezos on the front page of Amazon.

I would like to introduce you all to Kindle. I think that the idea here is fantastically awesome. Seriously fantastically awesome. It automatically saves your place in every book you have loaded. As well as there being an internal dictionary, there being bookmarking and notation...

I don't know if it is cool or not and at $400 it is really pricey. I'm going to see if I can get one from the people around here to borrow it, to see if I can try it out. Because, honestly, I could see this becoming a lot like my iPod. This would be something that I would just have with me all the time.

Eventually, the idea is, that I could have any book we sell on-line in my hands in 60 seconds. Which... It makes my heart give a thump. To be able to switch out books on the plane as needed if I get bored?

If only it did graphic novels...
