Then what? You think your Li'l Witch buddy's
gonna stop with us? You saw her! She's a truck
driving Magic Mamma. We've got maybe seconds
before Darth Rosenberg grinds everybody into
Jawa-burgers, and not one of you bunch has the midiclorians to stop her

Film: Oldboy - Fantastic Korean film, get it watched before Hollywood finds it & rapes it!

Book: The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch, just beautiful.

Games: GTA 4 on XBox360, so much fun, but can make you a bug-eyed social recluse.

Music: The Shins - Wincing The Night Away - utter perfection!

Film: y'know, I could watch Galaxy Quest once a day for the rest of my life, and not tire of it. Probably. Or Hellboy.
In the cinemas now, I heartily recommend Iron Man

TV: Heroes, Flight of the Conchords, the Sky at Night

Book: 'Consider Phlebas' by iain m banks is a good stsrting point in his outrageous sci-fi universe

Games: Zelda on gamecube, Tiger Woods on Wii

Music: looking forward to 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate'. If you don't know what that is, well, you have my pity happy
New Halfmanhalfbiscuit CD 'CSI Ambleside' isn't bad either, but maybe not as good as their laat one, 'Achtung Bono'

Film: Watched The Savages last night, excellent film, funny & poignant in one fell swoop!

Book: Chinua Achebe - Things Fall Apart. A favourite book of Nelson Mandela while in prison, this book is good for the soul.

Games: Despite never having watched a single episode of the show, I'm enjoying Lost: Via Domus. I enjoy puzzle/adventure games, they remind me of the old point & click numbers I used to play constantly when I was a youngin.

Music: Into The Wild soundtrack by Eddie Vedder, beautiful and haunting as the film itself.
