Film Friday . . . in which Peter urges you to go see a movie.
While posts about film adaptations of comics or ticket giveaways may crop up here occasionally, this time I am going to give a straight ahead recommendation to a film opening at the TIFF this week. I have long recommended Shane Carruth’s first film “Primer” (2003). If one wants to classify it as science fiction then it is certainly among my few favourite films of the genre. “Upstream Color” now joins that list.
We’ve restocked the shelves including new books that didn’t fit at the beginning of the sale and added even more books to the $3 and $5 specials!
The entirety of our adaptions and tie-ins shelves is on sale. Books related to Novels, Films, Television, and Video Games plus a bunch of other books from publishers like IDW, Boom, and Dynamite are all on sale! Most books are %70 off cover price!

Hi there, I have a quick question for you. Why don’t you already own Kagan McLeod’s Infinite Kung Fu? Seriously, what can the reason be? Is it because the copy you saw didn’t have a super sweet sketch in the front? He fixed that! We have ten sweetly sketched copies of Infinite Kung Fu for sale on the main floor of The Beguiling.
If you are one of the very wise folks who already picked up a copy of this masterpiece you can, of course, still grab one of these as your old copy will make a great gift. Just don’t tell whoever you give it to they missed out on this. They might cry.

We had some copies of The Comics Journal 301 giant book sized issue. Then we didn’t have any. It was weird. Now we have them again!
It’s 622 pages of images, interviews, and articles from a ton of great folks including: Robert Crumb, Joe Sacco, Al Jaffee, Michael Kupperman, Jim Woodring, Tim Hensley, Stephen Dixon, and many many more.
It’s also over an inch thick and includes the complete Gerald McBoing Boing written by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and drawn by Bill Hurtz.
Just 4.82 cents a page ($30).
