Well, this weekend was a bit of a movie weekend, a bit of an eclectic bunch really:
Must Love Dogs
Rating: 2/5
Downfall
Rating 5/5 (Although likely to be an acquired taste!)
De-Lovely
Rating 5/5
God’s and Generals
Rating: 1/5
What an appalling film.
Slow, historically questionable, badly acted(or at least, directed badly), appallingly written, scored like a hallmark card.
The most enjoyable portion is the opening credits. And perhaps the battle scenes, where, for the most part, they stop talking!
I didn’t see the end, my laptop battery gave out. Small mercies…

I started writing reviews of all these films, but it struck me, I’m really not very good at it tonight, and rather than my ramblings, I’ll keep it short!
P.S. I’m getting VERY frustrated with WordPresses HTML formatting of posts…. whitespace! keep the whitespace!
I’ve been surfing the web for old sites I used to visit and decided to drop in on google groups again.

Okay, I was young… I thought I was funny…. I watched star trek…. I’m so, so sorry.

Very interesting article, http://www.4020.net/unposed/photorights.shtml
Do I have the balls to act upon it though, and take ‘real’ candids of people in the street.
I doubt it
Still, one day I may become the edgy artist I dream of being!
If I don’t have to put the bins out and mow the lawns that is.

I’ve decided to ban cookies from google.com* - this may mean giving up my prized gmail account (prized in that all the cool kids have one, (but I never use it)).
I wonder what that will do for their ad click tracking and the like.
How can Google trade in information without becoming involved in its meaning and context?
