At New York Comic Con, I got a chance to check out a number of scenes from the upcoming documentary on writer Grant Morrison. Morrison’s best known for his creation, The Invisibles, but also for his reinvention of various comic characters for both DC and Marvel.

Morrison seems a fascinating character study, from consulting with John Lennon (yep, still deceased) to becoming the characters he creates, I’m sure editing the project down to documentary length will prove difficult.

Morrison explains a lot with his description of his formative years and lessons from his parents. His father was ex-military, but later become an anti-war activist. His mother looking into the night sky with young Grant pointed up to the stars and said, “We’re from there.”

Looking forward for to this final project titled, Talking With Gods, from filmmaker Patrick Meaney. Wired interviewed Meaney regarding the film back in July, around San Diego Comic Con. Here’s the link.

Documentary / Rental of 2009

It’s 5:30 in the morning and I have been up since 4am.  I watched FOOD,INC. last night and I think I can’t sleep because of the documentary.  David Edelstein from NPR couldn’t say it any better, “In a year of stunning activist docs, Robert Kenner’s film has the kick of The Matrix — a movie where humans find out they’re living in a simulacrum, a virtual world of fake food (and farms) they mistake for reality. If we are what we eat, we’re in deep trouble.” I was a vegetarian for 5 years and probably will never be one again, but today I will start changing my habits by:

• Buying Organic or Sustainable Food
• Go without Meat once a week
• Reading Labels, know where your food comes from
• Drink more water, fewer sugary beverages
• Support companies that treat workers, animals, and the environment with respect

This is not a vegetarian vs. meat post,related to politics, or some hipster organic post, so please don’t get all crazy…..I’m simply recommending to watch a great documentary and maybe be inspired to be more health conscious, live an active lifestyle, and respect for the human planet.
