Apparently Persepolis, the animated movie adapted from Marjane Satrapi's comic, just got released in the US. So in case you wonder, yes, it is exactly as awesome as it looks like. Or more. And if you never heard of it, it's absolutly fucking awesome. It's an autobiographic story about a young Iranian girl growing up through the Iranian revolution. It's one terribly kick ass female character, and her grand mother also gets a palm of pure awesomeness. It's funny, uplifting, sad, humane and plenty of other good thing, and also gorgeously animated despite being mostly in black & white.
Run, do not walk, to see it.
That's all.
