I think the movie adaption was sublime. The cast were uniformly brilliant and the movie kept it's tongue firmly in cheek. Also Zack Snyder's ambitious adaption of 'Watchmen' was flawed but very watchable! My first boyfriend bought me Daniel Clowes, graphic novel Ghostworld and I’ll always treasure it.

Well, the 2D animation adaptation is superior in content compared with the 3D adaptation although the latter is just enjoyable. I really love Belgian comics (including Les Aventures de Blake et Mortimer and Largo Winch - I really enjoyed the film adaptation of this comic). Mine is Tintin.

To have the opportunity to see these stories, come to life, up on a huge screen is exciting and never tiring to watch! :) As a child, I loved reading “Superman” and “Spiderman” comics and graduated to reading graphic novels, like “Sin City”.

When I saw Ghost World years ago I never thought that Graphic Novels were for me. My sister was into X-Men and various super heroes and that's what I thought Graphic Novels were all about. But then I saw Ghost World and it was so different to my preconceived notions that I thought I better check it out in its Graphic Novel form. Now that's my kind of Graphic Novel! It totally captured the vibe of my teenage experience, my generation's (gen-X) existentialism and self indulgent inner voice. My favourite film adaptation is Ghost World.

This was part of what Julie talked about as well. She sugegsted that the most effective change was seen when campaigners focused on one issue, often at the expense of others, going for the big win. Imagine if you could harness the people power of festivals for good and not evil! Couldn’t agree more Jonathan! This was part of what Julie talked about as well.

The logistics are about the same. You should have seen the flood at Good Vibrations @ Gold Coast Parklands when tens of thousands of squashed water bottles blocked the drains...

Amusingly enough, I had no idea The Edge was teaming up with IGF for their own awesome games event, so a few of of my choices are in the program. Fortunately, I can think of many, many others that are more than fine substitutions  as well as additions to your growing games library. Here are three you can grab NOW and two that are very promising works in progress.
