A Glitzy Screen Singapore 2011

Singapore is set to have 8 days of glitzy star-studded events when celebrities from Hollywood, Asia and Bollywood descend upon the island on June 5 - 12.

Screen Singapore 2011 is the first international film event held here and besides exclusive red-carpet premieres, there will be "In Conversation" panels, workshops, and an exhibition for film industry people to network with their peers. During the week, there are even sneak previews for the non-trade professionals and movie fans held at various Golden Village/ Shaw/ Cathay cineplexes.

A mix of movies and stars from East and West will either have their World, International or Asia-Pacific premieres during the event. The list of movies include HK's "Treasure Inn" (directed by Wong Jing), India's "Bollywood - The Greatest Love Story Ever Told", Japan's "Paradise Kiss", France's action-movie, "The Assault" and Hollywood's dramedy "Larry Crowne".

NYCC 2011 - First Few Guest Announcements!

Things are getting exciting for the many comic conventions which are coming soon.

Of course, the Number One pop-culture event of the year - the San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) - has already listed their various guests on their website. And Red Dot Diva is sure more is yet to come, especially those related to Hollywood and mass media.

There has also been word that the exciting DC Comics one-shot graphic novel "Superman Beyond", which will be released in August 2011, will be showcased at SDCC!

But there have been many who were unable to go to this year's SDCC, due to the unfortunate online ticketing snafu. And therefore, many pop-culture fans will be making their way to various other conventions like NYCC 2011 or Wizard Con.

Just this month, NYCC 2011 announced their Guest of Honor - Eisner-award-winning Robert Kirkman! Robert, the mastermind behind "The Walking Dead" series, will be making appearances at the Image Comics booth and attending panels. Super-exciting news, indeed!

Other comic guests like Mike Mignola ("Hellboy"), Ivan Brandon, Cliff Chiang have also been announced. Red Dot Diva is sure that there would be more guests announcements to come before the convention in October 2011.

Press accreditation is already open and Red Dot Diva is trying her best to make her way to NYC this year for the convention. Wish her luck!

The FCBD Geekery in Singapore

Comic books have always been a rather niche market in Singapore, but recently, there have been more buzz concerning graphic novels on our tiny island.

Thanks probably to the superhero/ supernatural-related TV and movies which have proved popular with the mass-market crowd lately!

So, instead of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) focused mainly at a local comic store called GnB Comics this year, there were two larger bookstores getting into the fray as well. They were popular book store chain, Kinokuniya and a fledgling store for the geeks, aptly named Harris Planerds. In fact, Planerds was holding the FCBD events to coincide with its official opening at the centrally Orchard Road-located 313@Somerset mall!
