Oh my god, this is EXACTLY like it's trailer, but two hours long. I felt like I'd been cornered at a party by a raging cokehead who wanted to tell me a long rambling story of importance only to him.
 
There isn't a shot in the film that lasts longer than six seconds, and it seems Tony Scott beleives there is NOTHING in teh world that can't be made more exciting by adding some weird camera effect, odd sound effect, pausing the action and putting weird pointless captions on the screen or juxtaposing upbeat music with a downbeat scene. It's like Natural Born Killers on crack. Only dumber. And with no point. And then Tom Waits turns up.

The extras include a brief doc on the Real Domino Harvey (a skinny skinhead who seems like a bit of a damage case - all intense stares and saying things that don't make sense) and Chocco is this rough looking gangster type with no teeth.

10/10 - best film evah.

Heather says she's not going to let me choose which movies to rent ever again.

I had to use standard deviation the other day - hardcore!

Man, I fucking hated stats.

If I interviewed someone for an IT position and they had a degree in applied statistics I'd probably assume they were really, really smart, and enjoyed complex fiddly stuff involving maths, which can;t exactly hurt.

I;d still grill them on coding though, and that would probably be the deciding factor.

Apparently the market for plumbers is now flooded with people who read about that and took a plumbing course...

I actually use stuff I learnt in my degree in my work, but I suspect I'm the except to the rule in that. Consider it a certificate of Middle-class readiness.

Yeah, that's basically it. For what it's worth I basically enjoyed it but it left me feeling empty and unsatisfied.

That seems to be a common theme with me and Millar books.http://static.flickr.com/29/93656783_6ca681a756.jpg?v=0">

I have to say those guys must be really thick - "Three modern-day skulls and the remains of a time-machine? Quick, let's us three travel back in time and find out what happened!"

It's  not a short, but it's worth wathing Primer to see a pretty nifty time-travel story made with a busget of next to nothing.

I have one of these. It's ace!

I've put a coffee ring on my comp copy of the Winter Special - that's got to be worth a mint!

Maybe you could collect rocks or something instead.

It might be nice to put more strips from Zarjaz and Co79 up on the 2000ad site.

I thought he killed Cyrus on behalf of the cops, possibly betraying him for "no reason".

Is it infected again? It just crashed my browser and then my machine in a really rather horrible way.
