Look oooout!
Peter Jackson is going to re-make King Kong! Who will save New Zealand?
Bend it like Beckham
We saw a really neat film on Friday, Bend It Like Beckham, which is as much feel-good fun as a movie can get without being formulaic.
Ignore the title if you’re not versed in English football. The film is like “Greek Wedding” in tone (living life among a smothering-if-vibrant family) and “Billy Elliot” in theme (following a ‘crazy’ dream because of exceptional talent), with a great soundtrack and lots of girl-power goodness.
War and wars
Perhaps you’re sick of war coverage, but I thought it was refreshing to hear a balanced, thorough report of the mood in Baghdad by a BBC correspondent.
In other news, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld have started selling the next wars, just in case this one turns out to be profitable.
A hybrid that hauls
Steve pointed out a local project, started at SDSU, which created a diesel-electric hybrid sports car. 240HP, bright red, and it can run on bio-diesel at 80MPG! Pretty hot stuff, and it was made with mostly off-the-shelf components.
