Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...
...I got Rick Rolled today.
At first I was angry, but the anger quickly subsided and I just sat back and enjoyed the wonder that is Astley.

Life as we don't know it.
Ron Fricke's experimental documentary Baraka is an exceptional piece of work.
There is no plot, no narration and no interviews. There is only music and a "journey of rediscovery that plunges into nature, into history, into the human spirit and finally into the realm of the infinite." (Fricke:1992)
Here is my favourite excerpt from the film.

It's Here!
I have been waiting for this film to hit UK screens since it debuted in Cannes last year.
El Orfanato is the Del Toro produced, Baynona directed, psychological-horror/supernatural-thriller that is being touted as the new Pan's.
Whoever is touting this as the new Pan's is obviously a vacuous, lazy, pathetic excuse for a human with no capacity for autonomous thought.
After skimming through snippets and anything else I could get my hands on, El Orfanato looks more like the bastard love child of El Espinazo Del Diablo and Cronos (just without the golden blood-sucking beetle invention).
If you got the money.
How to be a Person.
Demetri Martin is one of my favourite comedians who is currently alive and working today.
A while ago he made 7 short films and they are good.
Here is episode 1.

Pure Goldin.
My passion for photography started with The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, a collection of photographs by Nan Goldin.
Her work is bleak, savage, unabashed and stunning.
Goldin famously described The Ballad of Sexual Dependency as "The diary I let people read".
The Ballad documents the turbulent lives of Goldin and her urban family during the Aids-riddled-eighties.
The images hurt. You don't want to look for too long, but you do, and my god does it feel good.

Another (Disney) Dimension.
Disney have churned out more sequels than I've had hot instant ramen noodles, however, one film in the recycle bin stands out.
There are rumblings at mouse towers that Disney are planning to release Tron 3D and that Joseph Kosinski (Who? he directs adverts that's who) will be the man to take Tron to the next level.

2011 is the release date.
I really hope it's not going to be shit.

Have you got anything without spam?
Spam makes me laugh.
I recieved an email from Alfonso Ong today reminding me that Girls simply CANNOT get their hands off a guy who is 9 inches long.
Thanks Alfonso, I'll log that away.
Linzie Hunter, an artist from North London, has turned these spam one-liners into art. Nice.
