Funniest TV ad in a while

I just wonder if Gillette are going to sue...

Steam-tastic

The Museum of Technology in Cambridge will be "under full steam" this weekend and there's also a "Teslathon" with "Extreme Electronics". There's no info about the event on the museum website but it's part of the Big Draw thing and it's about halfway down on the linked page.

I'm busy on Saturday but anyone fancy coming along on Sunday? It's open from 11 to 5 (the website says 4.30 but the poster I just walked past says 5).

I'm especially looking at ginasketch, lupie_stardust and other Steam(punk) enthusiasts here. I don't draw but I'll take my camera. :o)

[Film] Burn after Reading

The latest Coen Brothers work is a giggle. It lives off its big name cast: John Malkovich, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand (Marge from Fargo) who are all cast against type. Basically, all the characters are losers who end up being in the wrong place at the wrong time (several times) and nobody except the audience actually knows what's going on. It's a bit slow to start off as the characters are introduced but picks up soon.

A nice little, funny (both in laughing out loud and subtle ways) film, so much better than the pretentious drivel that was No Country for Old Men.
