Calling all movie buffs,

Its Redemption Time.

As much as it is for Quentin Tarantino, and for those of us who weren't so tickled last Sat ;)

Directed by Tarantino and starring Brad Pitt, Inglourious Basterds has garnered great reviews and boasts one of Tarantino's best US box office showing ever.

So for all Tarantino and Brad Pitt fans, this is really a must-see!

Synopsis:
Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own... --© Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures

A big thank you to all 25 rowers/coach/coxwains, including our 4 friends from Nippon, who were at the TBP dragonboat outing today.

CLOSED: Movie Outing "9", 12th Sep 09, Saturday

Thanks to all who came for the movie outing today. It was really quite a sight to have 28 bears/TBP supporters gather together :) Although the movie didn't live up to expectations for some, I'm sure everyone had a good time catching up and getting to know new friends. Hope to see the newbies join us more in future outings :) Cheers~ Stonedwin

Hi everyone,

With so many exciting movies opening in September, its time again for a movie outing! And we are kicking off with the exciting animated film '9', produced by Tim Burton.

Synopsis:
A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker’s distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman.

When 9 (The Lord of the Ring’s Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them. --© Focus Features

Venue: GV Plaza, Plaza Singapura

Toy Games & Comic Convention

Dear Bear friends and supporters,

Han and I just went down to Suntec City 4th floor to set up the Sir Fong booth.

If you've been impressed by Da Vinci's amazing designs from the Renaissance Period, your eyes will pop when you come for the Toy Games & Comic Convention. We've come a long way since we were inspired by the genius of Da Vinci (he's homosexual incidentally), and the main difference is this: at the convention, you can buy your inspirations to own.

My books are created to inspire too. To raise the standards of Scientific passion in Singapore, then Asia. Without Science, we can never progress to the age of air-con, internet dating and computer games. So do come to my booth A25 to get a few copies for all your nieces, nephews and students!

This year, there will be several items for your consideration:

1. Sir Fong's Adventures In Science Book 2 ($10 - Usual Price $13+)
2. Sir Fong's Adventures In Science Book 1 ($10 - UP$13+)
3. Lyra Dobble colouring set ($6 - discount of 20%)
4. Lyra Giotto Grafix marker set ($8 - discount of 20% from planned price - new product)

I'll be there the whole day to sign every book and take pictures with all you handsome fellas. Thank you!

Place: Suntec City Hall 402 + 403
Date: 14-16th Aug (Fri - Sun)
Booth: Artists Alley A25
Time: 11am - 9pm (Fri, Sat)
11am - 8pm (Sun)
