In a discussion last week with Mike Gold, I mentioned I had a film his wife would love to see, and he’d get a kick out of it too. And, since it’s available via Creative Commons, I can share it with you as well.

Sita Sings The Blues is a bit of a find, and it’s a bit tricky to find as well. Created by cartoonist Nina Paley, and featuring the songs of Annette Hanshaw, it’s an award-winning retelling of the Ramayana in four different animation styles. Sita is a goddess/princess/woman utterly devoted to her husband Rama, the god/prince/man, and they just can’t quite make thier marriage work. You can’t see it in theaters, but you can download it, or you can buy a limited edition DVD. (Why it’s a limited edition is a loooooong story.)

It’s 82 minutes long and worth every second. Watch it.

Next, a fight between the Yangs and the Khoms in “Deep Space Station Zebra”.

Battlestar Galactica executive producer, Ronald Moore, shares why he is revisiting old territory with the new DVD release The Plan, plus League of Extraordinary Gentlemen costs two librarians their jobs and didn’t we tell you Paranormal Activity would be #1 at the box office?

All right, so Black Lightning is the translation of the movie title Черная молния from Russian.

And it probably won’t have that name when it gets released in the United States, as it has as much to do with the DC Comics character created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden as Mr. Miyagi’s protege has to do with the Legion of Super-Heroes. (Hmm. Maybe not the best example there.)

But it’s still a great deal of fun. Take a look:

Now, if you actually want to see more work from Black Lightning’s creators, we’re happy to show you the latest chapter of The Original Johnson by Trevor Von Eeden here on ComicMix just up today (the print edition is available for pre-order now in the Diamond catalog, hint hint) and you can visit Tony’s web site for great reviews and commentary.
