It seems I’ve done over 1000 posts in about 34 months. I must have written a lot of crap – my apologises to everyone that get forced into reading it I would pick a favourite post, but I can’t remember what I’ve written about. I view the blog as a tool for two things you …

Karl du Fresne’s review of Avatar
Is spot on (ht Offsetting Behaviour). I can’t remember the last time I got as genuinely bored in a movie as I did with Avatar. The scenery and graphics were beautiful, but the acting and story were both atrocious. I tried to enjoy it, hell I even did enjoy it for the first 30 mins. …
