Près de deux ans se seront écoulés depuis la fin
d’Inri, deuxième volet du Triangle
secret, avec la publication en mars prochain du premier tome des
Gardiens du sang, troisième cycle – ou
saison, c’est la mode – de la saga ésotérique conduite
par Didier Convard. Denis Falque sera chargé de la
plupart des dessins sur un tome qui se passera essentiellement de nos jours, avec
l’assassinat d’une huile du Vatican par un mystérieux tueur au service de la
foi.
Sans même entrer
dans le vif du sujet, Bottomless Belly Button, roman graphique de
Dash Shaw, en impose par
ses mensurations : 720 pages, un dos de 5,5 cm sur lequel on trouve une foultitude d’infos,
bref, une sacrée bête. Acclamé meilleure bande dessinée
indépendante de l’année aux USA, le pavé édité par
Fantagraphics arrive aux
éditions Çà et là pour 30 €, un an
après la sortie du tout aussi imposant Château l’Attente.
Mais rien à voir ici avec de la fantasy médiévale, Bottomless Belly
Button flirte du côté de la chronique sociale iconoclaste à
travers les aventures de la famille Loony, qu’on croirait presque sortie d’un film de
Wes Anderson, genre Famille Tenenbaum. Il faut dire qu’après 40 ans
de mariage, les parents Loony annoncent leur divorce, et réunissent tout le monde dans la
maison familiale. Fantaisie parmi d’autres, Peter, le cadet de la famille, apparaît
la quasi-totalité du bouquin sous les traits d’une grenouille –
même s’il nous a fallu un quart du livre pour comprendre que ses narines
n’étaient pas ses yeux ! –, en écho à sa position
de loser que ce soit sur le plan professionnel ou sentimental. Lui, comme les autres, va vivre un
séjour riche en rebondissements tapant au cÅ“ur de ses complexes. À la
fin, tous les personnages auront évolué de façon perceptible.
Varié et hétéroclite, tant sur les thèmes que sur le plan visuel,
avec des mises en pages éclatées pour rythmer les différentes parties et de
nombreux jeux graphiques avec des onomatopées d’ambiances “musique à
fond” et de mouvements “emmêle”, les 720 pages se lisent d’une
traite. Pourtant, Bottomless Belly Button aura du mal à
séduire ceux pour qui les histoires qui mènent en voyage dans la psyché des
personnages ne font ni chaud ni froid. Reste qu’en la matière, grâce à
ses trouvailles graphiques et à sa façon de traiter de façon simple les
choses complexes, le roman graphique de Dash Shaw est ce qui s’est fait de mieux cette
année !
À la façon de l’Étrangleur de
Tardi chez Casterman, Carabas s’essaye au format tabloïd en proposant
une histoire courte de Low Moon, le nouveau Jason, déjà
dispo chez l’éditeur dans un petit format de 180 pages vendu 20 euros. Cette version
allégée, proposée 3 euros au format journal, nous fait profiter en
très grand format des situations cocasses imaginées par Jason, soit un western
où le jeu d’échec semble avoir remplacé les bons vieux colts
poussiéreux. À cela s’ajoutent les habituels running gags et les innombrables
comiques de situation. Forcément Jasonesque.
En deux mots : Western et mat De Jason, aux éditions Carabas - 20 pages - 3 € (visuel

After a couple of weeks off
(I had a bad case of Twilight fever), Indie Winners returns with a look at the
best-performing independent films at the box office this weekend. As Indie
Spotlighter Eric D. Snider noted before the long holiday weekend began, precious few new
releases have entered the marketplace recently, so let's focus on two that distinguished
themselves financially.
Avoiding the fall festival circuit, and even drawing some criticism for not opening in time to
possibly influence California's vote on Proposition 8, Gus Van Sant's Milk finally debuted to very
strong numbers, earning $38,361 per screen (36) in 19 cities, according to estimates compiled by
Box Office Mojo. Milk opened last Wednesday and has been riding a wave of
critical acclaim (93% positive, per Rotten Tomatoes, including our own James Rocchi). It will expand
its theater count over the next couple of weeks.
In contrast, Danny Boyle's Slumdog
Millionaire followed the fall festival circuit, generated glowing early word,
and continues to perform well in (slightly) expanded release in its third week, scoring a
per-screen average of $27,898 at 49 locations. Slumdog Millionaire also has received
extremely positive reviews (92% at Rotten Tomatoes) and is likewise
inspiring good word of mouth.
The old, if not profound, lesson? Specialty audiences have been responding to intelligent films
that resonate emotionally, ones that sound different from the usual art house fare. Stars like
Sean Penn and Josh Brolin may snare some viewers, but I'd bet it's the rousing treatment of
important (and pertinent) subjects that drives Milk to a solid success as it expands.
Lacking recognizable stars, Slumdog
Millionaire definitely is building momentum because of its underdog tale and looks
primed to be a crossover success.

According to the developers at Google, the company is hard at work on allowing user-created
extensions in Chrome.
Chromium can't be everything to all people. People use web browsers in a variety of environments
and for a wide variety of jobs. Personal tastes and needs vary widely from one user to the next.
The feature needs of one person often conflict directly with those of another. Further, one of the
design goals of Chromium is to have a minimal light-weight user interface, which itself conflicts
with adding lots of features. User-created extensions have been proposed to solve these
problems.
Nokia Siemens Networks today said it has already run a demonstration of cellular Internet access

this, there are about 3,000 unionized workers -- down from about 15,000 two years ago -- employed
by the Detroit 3 getting paid, despite the fact that they aren't working. While it's nice for
America's automakers to have access to a talent-pool of available workers, it's also a major
financial drain on an industry that's already reeling from a distinct lack of profits. And with new
cutbacks and layoffs being announced almost daily, these "job banks" are increasingly tough to
justify, a

for the UAW/a. It's always been a bit of a competitive disadvantage, at least on paper, as non-UAW
competitors like Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai do not keep such job banks. To ease Detroit's
transition from bloated, money-losing corporations to lean "right-sized" competitors, UAW Prez. Ron
Gettelfinger has brought up the job banks and their possible elimination. Will this be a part of
