Multiplex - a comic strip about life at the movies
DELETED SCENES


Multiplex #107 1/2: Christmas Cheer

Finally getting back into the swing of things and back to work on Book 2. There have been more than a few moving-related headaches in the last month, which I won’t get into here, but I’ve had less time than you would expect of a barely-employed (for the last month!) freelancer.

Anyway, this strip takes place before Multiplex #108 from the archives (which of course lead into another bonus comic that I’ve posted already). A little note for Jane Austen fans (and Becky/Jason hopefuls): Jason’s line in panel 3 is a quote from the Ang Lee/Emma Thompson Sense & Sensibility, which Becky just-so-happens to be watching in the other bonus comic.

“Scrapbooking Big-Screen Memories” by Amanda Petrusich (link)

I gave a lot of interview for the two-sentence quote used in a New York Times article by Amanda Petrusich about Cinema Treasures, but it’s one of my favorite websites on the interwebs — and an invaluable resource when I do the strips where Devi and Jason visit old movie theaters — and it was for the New York freakin’ Times, so I was thrilled to do it all the same. Go check out the article over at the Times’ website.

Did I mention the part about getting quoted in the New York Times, talking about movie theaters? Being a pundit is cool.

Trailer Watch: Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson are together again in The Rum Diary

On October 28, 2011, Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson are back together in Withnail & I director Bruce Robinson’s adaptation of The Rum Diary. Fantastic choice of director (particularly if Terry Gilliam weren’t an option), and this trailer looks like a lot of fun.

Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart, Giovani Ribisi and Richard Jenkins round out the cast.

Watch the trailer below (courtesy the film’s YouTube channel) or read the synopsis after the cut:
