Ivo has written a review of Lady in the Water. I was quite interested to see what he would think upon rewatching the film; the first time he saw it, he hated it. I was surprised by this, as I think it’s an excellent movie, and full of themes and images that Ivo might appreciate. [...]

1984
From: Torture memos reveal brutality of US imperialism *Use of insects. A memo authorizes agents to place an insect in the “cramped confinement box” of a prisoner who interrogators noticed had “a fear of insects.” [...] The media generally joined Obama in studiously avoiding use of the term “torture” in describing the CIA’s methods. The [...]

With a little help
A couple of my friends are maintaining blogs that you might want to check out: At Q0nd0r W3ary, my good friend Ivo writes about everything that ignites his enthusiasm, with an emphasis on books and music. His mind is a fascinating thing: always ready to examine everything intensely and seriously, while often looking at things [...]

The Gravel Road
The first two minutes of “The Gravel Road” from the soundtrack of The Village are amongst the most stunningly beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I should write more about that movie – it is deeply misunderstood, it’s depressing. It’s possibly the most touching film about love that I have ever seen.

Knowing
I wasn’t certain whether I was going to like this movie. On the one hand, Alex Proyas directed Dark City, one of my all-time favourite movies… but on the other hand, he also did I, Robot. I shouldn’t have worried. Knowing isn’t as good as Dark City, but it’s an interesting and well-done science fiction [...]

You’ve got to know whom to bite.
And now it makes perfect sense that I never liked South Park. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker still can’t believe a signed photo of Saddam Hussein U.S. Marines sent them is for real – but they hope it is. Legend has it the troops screened the duo’s 1999 film South Park: Bigger, [...]

Progress!
Just made a couple of important alterations to Phenomenon 32, which took down the overall size of the game (in MB) by something like 40%, while simultaneously giving me some cool new options. Yay! I’m also working on adding more features that wouldn’t have been in the contest version. I want this game to be [...]

Man, oh man.
So there we were, out in the garden… happily playing with our little monster… when all of a sudden this huge motherfucking stone slab comes down from the roof with a crash, hitting the ground where we had both been standing not too long ago, making a huge hole in the ground. That’s how easily [...]

Still around, still working
This has been an incredibly busy week, which is why I haven’t managed to update the blog. I have made a great deal of progress with Phenomenon 32, and added quite a few neat things that weren’t in the original plan. I hope to have it finished tomorrow. I also spent an incredible amount of [...]
