johnke.meOne hell of a publicity stunt…
Ellen Feiss, internet phenomenon and star of the most famous Mac “Switch” advert, is all growned up. She is making her film acting debut in a French movie called “Bed and Breakfast” alongside Ruardhi Conroy (“Tito” from Into the West).
And, y’know, now she’s no longer jailbait/completely mashed, she’s actually kinda hot.
Dakota Blue Richards will play Lyra - still hope for Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter
Y’know, I’m beginning to think “How much more amazing would this have been if they’d gotten Delroy Lindo instead of Samuel L. Jackson?”
Download an MP3, listen to it on your iPod while in the cinema. Neat way to encourage repeat viewings.
Now I only saw five minutes of this film but it was enough to convince me of what a desperate desperate place Seventies Britain was. Did they really queue in line for this? Maybe the commies weren’t so crazy after all, at least queuing for bread serves some sort of purpose, what’s the point of queuing up to see a man get hit in the penis with a roller blind?
Looks a lot less low-budget/more high-concept than I was expecting
“Hey H., you know what would be awesome? A service where you could register a group of friends’ phone numbers, then when you’re out and about, you text your location to a server and your friends could text the server and find out where all their friends are.”
“You mean like Dodgeball?”
I search for “Dodgeball text” and find out that not only has someone already thought of this, but Google has bought them already.
All the same, someone needs to launch this in Ireland. It would make weekends so much easier to organise. I hope this is built into Live Anywhere.
My DVD inbox - movies I haven’t seen or whose DVDs special features I haven’t watched - has grown to 60 DVDs. I figure this is a good time to take a look through the list and see what’s going on. Maybe figure out why I’m having such trouble getting through them. If you’re interested, the full list is available on listal.com.
To be honest, I’m amazed that drama features so highly. From looking at my list, I’d have guessed Horror or Sci-Fi would be the most popular genre. I put this down to shoddy tagging on IMDB. Or a really bad personal definition of “horror”. Cutthroat Island is horrific, so that makes it horror… right?
For an eighties kid, the 1980s are seriously underrepresented here.
(This was the first bar-chart I’ve ever made in excel. I had to get H. to help me.)
I couldn’t be bothered breaking this down any further. Although I’d say that the majority of the foreign-language movies were Japanese, from the large amount of J-Horror waiting to scare the pants off me.
I’ve all but given up watching TV now. I tend to do all my TV watching via bittorrent or DVD. This is probably lower than I would have guessed. Still haven’t gotten around to watching Six Feet Under yet. Is it wrong that I am completely unable to get excited about this show? Loving Carnivale though.
The book isn’t even published yet, but the screenplay has been bought by Brad Pitt’s production company. Still, awesome title.
