When our favurites are replaced


Recently I was reading Ultimate Spider-man from issue 101-117 and I love the artwork what Mark Bagley did, but 110 was his last issue, from that a new artist started to do the drawing. It was a certain type of feeling that I felt, a kind of mix to tell the truth. I was a bit disappointed because I loved Bagley's work but I also understood that it was his choice to leave the series and that has to be respected. I also was excited what the new pencilist (Stuart Imonnen), will bring to the series. And I have to admit I am statisfied with his work, he did a really good job. He kind of gave the series a new style, recreated the old charachters in a way the even I, a big fan of Bagley, am pleased with.
I began with this story to introduce the situation what my second entry is about. We all know this: in a series one or more of our favourites have been replaced. This can be either another person or if it's a TV series it can be another actor, or just another's voice. In the case I have described earlier I had been through this with a positive ending. But this is not always the case. Sometimes we get about just the opposite of it and it can be really annoying.
I also posted a picture which shows the artworks of both artists who I wrote about. These are the drawings of both artists of Peter Parker and Spider-man.
So I am really interested what you think about this phenomena, enjoy and comment ;)

"Crash"

I'm going to write about the movie "Crash". We watched this movie at the American Corner and I'll summerize shortly the content of it how my friends reacted to it.
As some of you may know this is a drama which recieved Academy Award for Best Movie in 2004. It shows 24 hours of happenings in Los Angeles, beginning with the 24th hour and showing what happened before. How people who don't seem to have any connection to each other at all, can be involved in a really frightening web of events. Why is this scary? Well, to tell the truth it is scary because it could happen to any of us. As I said the story takes places in LA so we can see how different races collide. These people whose lives were shown were average people just like we are. This gives a more shocking experience to the audience. Maybe this is why Crash was the supprize winner of '04.
When I first saw this movie I was shocked and amazed, the mixture of these emotions was on the face on my friends too after the movie. Actually this is a movie that I think everyone should see, it's definitelly worth it.
