I love the packing from amazon.com that they used to deliver the new Harry Potter book. Especially the “Attention Muggles: Do Not Deliver or Open Before July 21!” warning.

a few movies that i’ve recently seen:
28 Weeks Later: I was pretty much crawling out of my seat during the 2nd half. great genre piece !
Black Sheep: Not Peter Jackson, but very much in the same style as Bad Taste, Dead Alive, and his other early, indie films. Quite entertaining.
Hot Fuzz: One of the best shoot-out scenes of all time. It’s no Shaun of the Dead, but stands up on it’s own. Great follow-up film.
Hostel: now that’s f’d up.
Next: Yet another Philip K. Dick story turned into a movie. A guy can see two minutes into the future. But only two minutes into his future.

This is a book that I’ve had for several years.
It’s a pulp-paperback edition of George Orwell’s 1984, dated 1952 (or 1954, I forget).
I bought it because I loved the cover:
And also… Which one will YOU be in the year 1984 ? (Back Cover):

I just heard “Blister in the Sun” in a Wendy’s commercial.
That’s wrong.

Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and urgent moral vision in novels like “Slaughterhouse-Five,” “Cat’s Cradle” and “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater” caught the temper of his times and the imagination of a generation, died Wednesday night in Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in Manhattan and in Sagaponack on Long Island.
His death was reported by Morgan Entrekin, a longtime family friend, who said Mr. Vonnegut suffered brain injuries as a result of a fall several weeks ago.
Mr. Vonnegut wrote plays, essays and short fiction. But it was his novels that became classics of the American counterculture, making him a literary idol, particularly to students in the 1960s and ’70s. Dog-eared paperback copies of his books could be found in the back pockets of blue jeans and in dorm rooms on campuses throughout the United States. Continue reading »

Forest Whitaker was great as the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
Initially, the film was very entertaining, until you realized exactly how bonkers Amin was. Then it started to get scary.
James McAvoy, playing Admin’s personal physician, came to this same realization throughout the film (based on the real Nicholas Garrigan), as well.
