A Film For Lunatics

About a a fortnight ago (actually a little longer than that now - I'm clearly getting worse at posting these things) I headed over to the Greenwich Picturehouse to see Moon. It's got to be one of the best films so far this year.

Some of the physics in it seemed a bit dodgy to say the least, but as it wasn't central to the storyline it didn't really matter and it was more than made up for by the psychology of Sam's reactions to what was going on around him.

I was also impressed with Sam Rockwell, he's one of those people you tend see typecast lighthearted comic characters, so it was quite interesting to see him play a more serious character as it turns how he really can act.

All in all, it was an excellent film and highly recommended.

Feeding The Horses

So, the internet seems to be currently full of photos of that squirrel.

Not only that, but someone has setup a site (I imagine there's probably more than one site like this out there) to superimpose the squirrel on your images, so now you don't even need to open photoshop to do - The Squirrelizer. (via cuteoverload)

This left me with little choice, but... to feed the wretched creature to a hobby horse:




Just remembered vegans aren't supposed to be nasty to squirrels... oops!
