I'll have to check out the 'How to draw Star Wars' book, I might get some tips myself tongue

There's also a '300: The Art of the Film' book out. Not sure if I'd rather have that or the proper GN, or both even.

matt,if the 'making of/art of' book for 300 is going to be anywhere as good as the 'making of/art of' book for sin city was,it'll be money well spent.
if your finances stretch that far,i'd go for both... but you can always borrow my copy,if need be. xxx

They both look nice ... and great that they have been done in a similar style (and looks like size).

Anyone who reads teletext would have read that the film got a very bad reception in Berlin. Lots of walk-outs and booing at the end credits. I'll wait for some more reviews but I feel my hopes dashing somewhat.

The Art of book is also a disappointment. Then again I've yet to see any Art of book meeting the incredibly high standards of the Star Wars ones, so maybe I've been spoilt too much tongue

It was being shown as part of the Berlin film festival, so most likely would have been a very international-based audience, although probably full of press and critics too.

I'll wait for some solid review sources to come through first.

I glanced through the graphic novel, if the film matches up anywhere to what I saw, then I should enjoy it. And from the trailers I do like the visual style, so can't see what will annoy me. I have a feeling the people booing may not have known the details event it is about - unfortunately it's based on history, you can't change that. May be wrong, but that is my gut.

I agree with you Matt about the making of book (my above comment was before I opened it up lol) and having glanced through, it's not a patch on an SW art book.

I seem to Jamie ? grin
Where ????????

Where in my last post, was I EVER bothered ?

i don't give a **** what the iranians were once called

Yeah so .....Iranians couldn't care less either, so whats your point ?
Can't I say anything on this forum Jamie ?
I couldn't give a **** what you think happy happy grin its your opinion
and I'm entitled to my own. I can post what I like .
I was simply saying that the Iranians were once called Persian, that's all
Its a well known fact
And when I said Iranians getting kicked by the Greeks, I only explained myself.

Someone got their knicker in a twist.


it makes no difference to me either ways
Well good for you. happy Lets hope you keep to that attitude happy

And remember Jamie lets not derail this thread.

I'm leaving this jibberish agrument that you started.
