    Anyone seen the Dark Knight yet? Not generally one for comic book movies, but batman begins was the bollocks. I'm also impressed* by Bale's method *unless this turns out be a serious assault, in which case i'm going to feel badly embarrassed.

    Stalin wasn't stalling...

    There's been a lot of theorising lately about the popularity of new autocrats (not just Putin, but the PRC, even the likes of Shinawatra), but I still think this is some scary shit. I'm not sure who I'd expect them to vote for, but even so...

    Who else thinks this is so true?

    http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/07/dying_fall_why_mark_e_smiths_m.html I haven't really felt The Fall's new stuff since about 87-88 (and I used to buy everything).
